Only time that I've seen him was v Man Utd and he played really well imo.

Yeah he came on as a sub. Was a bit annoyed when he was talking about what a big deal it was to come on against them. Making a debut for Rovers is a big enough deal alone for a young player. The PR team should watch for what people are saying.

Damn! There goes any hopes of promotion. He was one of two players who could turn draws into wins. 3 months? I guess the decision was down to Boro. Isn't he just on loan until January?

No until end of season unless they choose to take him back and I wouldn't blame them.

That's a real body blow. He's out of contract at the end of the season and doesn't appear to be signing a new contract at the moment. Could there be a chance of keeping him?

Hmmmmm..... Perhaps if we convince the rest of the footballing world that he's injury prone perhaps Al?;)

Serious question- why the hell would Chappers want to stay at a nut job club like Blackburn Rovers?

He's not exactly the second coming. He's just turned 20 and is a player that a Championship club has never fielded and has loaned out to three League 1 clubs in the last 3 seasons. In the league, he's played 362 minutes for Barnsley, 280 minutes for Sheff Utd and 313 minutes for us. Which adds up to about 11 full league games in his career. And he was an unused substitute through England's latest U-20s world cup. By Chapman's age, Fabregas had played 3 full seasons for Arsenal and 15-20 games for Spain.

Not trying to disparage the lad, he looks a decent League 1 prospect, but I'm not convinced Middlsbrough will even want him in their squad so he's definitely within our potential to sign.

You might as well pick one of us to replace him if we are pinning our hope on Gladwin. I hope he does come good however what I have seen so far he has been terrible.

According to TM “He has two amazing feet and can shoot and score goals." Now I'm not wanting to rain on Gladwin's parade but if he's got those attributes how come QPR let him leave?

My feet are amazing too, not a mark on them, however the legs controling them are terrible. He is not good enough on the showing so far, expect he will be another payoff come the end of the season.

Those who can't access Twitter, Tony Watt has tweeted a photo of him playing for Rovers and an emoji which suggests there is some news upcoming..... possibly a return.

Mowbray will know him from his time at Celtic so that's an obvious link.

Do we need another attack minded Striker/Winger. Personally I think we are desperate for a CM who can dictate play for us as an absolute priority.
