Had a quick look on one of the Blackburn forums, and they’ve been talking about getting Cresswell, and the general consensus of opinion is that the club doesn’t have the funds to buy him, and they would have to sell a few players to generate enough money to bid for him!
At the moment their supporters would rather use any money they get on a goalkeeper, two full backs and a forward!
Agree but at £4m
Four million and more than fifteen k a week in wages 
we don't half dwell on the past at times. We're a stepping stone for players who can demand more money that we can pay. Ballard on example. Norton Cuffy will be another. If we're chucking money about i'd rather a goal scorer.

He hasn't all of a sudden burned out or turned to shit. Surely the new manager will have him firing on all cylinders again?
Seen an improvement recently, definitely tracking back and pressing.
Still getting caught in possession too often but he has a quality about him that makes you think he’s about to deliver something special.

Does Cresswell have the passing ability that Edwards would like in a CB?
The financial side of it doesn't bother me as it is the Berylson's money and it's their choice how to spend it.
Any permanent signings we make should be ones that fit Edwards style of play and whilst I like Cresswell I don't think we could tell from his Wall games if he is good enough on the ball for Edwards.

If this style is what Edwards is going to persevere with then he needs someone in rapid to convert these opportunities because we'll get stung again and again like we did Saturday.

Creswell's passing ability is a big improvement on what we have currently at CB plus at his age will only get better.

I remember Cresswell hitting raking passes from wide right to wide left that found a teammate
Comfortable on the ball, initially prone to get caught in possession but seemed to have eliminated that by the time his loan ended.
I’d gladly welcome him back but the price would have to be right for us. No silly money!
Leicester was the same story. Watmore for all his endeavour cannot finish. Nisbet needs a run of games, there is a striker in him.

Cresswell started with a "bang" scored a couple looked good full of confidence and i felt he thought that championship football was going to be easy.
Reality bit,he made some glaring mistakes but was quickly dropped by Rowett and must have got some very good coaching.
He looked confident and self assured on his return to the team and i had no concerns over his distribution.
IMO would be a great signing that would bolster a slow and ageing CB area.
Just out of interest mfcv (not digging you out)who do you think out of our squad would get close to Leeds 1st X1?
We won’t pay £3/4m or the wages involved, but if we did it should be seen as an investment as his market value will surely grow. We don’t take these sorts of gambles, sometimes it hurts us, eg Huckerby, sometimes it may/may not work out ie Ballard, but I think Cresswell would prove to be a financial asset.
Probably De Norre at a push that is about it.
