TONY Mowbray says Rovers have enquiries in with clubs to make further moves in the January window but insists they won’t be held to ransom over transfer fees.

Rovers have so far brought in Adam Armstrong, Jack Payne and Amari’i Bell as well as making Paul Downing’s loan move from MK Dons permanent.

Value for money remains one of Mowbray’s main priorities this month and he believes players are keen to make the move to Ewood Park.

“We have a budget I would say,” Mowbray told the Lancashire Telegraph.

“I’m just conscious of not spending it all on one or two players, we have to be conscious of the value.

“We’re not in a market where we can go to the Premier League or top end of the Championship and buy players because we haven’t got that sort of money.

“Potentially we take the better players from League One, Jack is a Huddersfield Town player but to take him out of Oxford is what I feel (we can do).

“This is not us flexing too much muscle, the players want to come here and when they hear that Blackburn Rovers are interested they see an opportunity and have a real desire to come to this football club which obviously helps.

“For me we have to identify the players.”

Mowbray made 13 signings in the summer and has continued to try and improve his squad in his second window as manager.

And while he is pleased with the business done so far, he added: “We have more enquiries at clubs and have had conversations with clubs.

“You can’t put a gun to people’s heads, you can make financial offers and they have to decide whether they are going to take them or not take them.

“I feel as if there’s a club or two who are getting ready for if they sell this player to us that they know what they’re doing and want to replace before they sell.

“That’s okay as long as we keep asking the questions.

“But we have to get value for money.

“It’s not a case of us making a bid they say no, we make another bid, they say no, and we make another bid and they say no, it doesn’t work like that because we have set values for what players are worth and what we should be getting for what we spend, what their future value could be to the football club.”
