His family live in the area, so maybe he feels he is not ready for the big step up to Liverpool or Arsenal as of yet. On the otherhand this could begin an auction which is good news for the circus.
Odd move. Despite last season, another relegation won't be good on his CV. At 24 with international aspirations this had to be his big move. I assume Samba is heading elsewhere instead, possibly to replace Jagielka which is where I thought Dann would go. Let's just hope the fee is large for our sake.
Very odd move, surely if arsenal ( yes i know they got stuffed 8-2) or liverpool come in for you then its a no brainer. And no the money wont be made available to AT. Again unfortunately a no brainer.
It is a bad move to Blackburn, but i don't think hes good enough for a top 4 side, playing for someone like Everton just outside the top 4 is his limit and would be a great move, Defo too good for Blackburn but not good enough for Arsenal maybe in a few years but not yet. I hope he does well where ever he plays.
