Dalglish lands Blackburn starlet

New Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish has gone back to old club Blackburn to make young striker Jason Banton the first signing of his second spell at Anfield.

Dalglish has snapped up the former England youth international after Rovers let him go because he was growing unsettled.

Banton joined Rovers from Arsenal - where he also became fed up at his lack of progress through the ranks - two years ago, and he had been pushing for a first-team squad slot at Ewood Park.

The 18-year-old is a tall, fast striker and was top scorer in Rovers' academy side in his first full season at the club but fell out with members of the coaching staff and was released.

However, the Londoner has now walked into Anfield, where he will get a deal until the end of the season - and the chance to impress Dalglish.

Liverpool thread/ transfer discussion ....you even put it in the Liverpool thread already

Never even heard of this guy.

Loan deal?

Will he play over Ngog?

/Liverpool's transfer activity this window.

Annoyed because he can't get in the team over the likes of Benjani, Roberts, and Diouf. So he's come to a team with Torres as the lone striker.

Don't see it ending well.

inb4 any comments about Benjani scoring twice against us.

Benjani scored twice against Liverpool.

Yeh Benjani hit the net twice against Liverpool.

Don't know much about him just fast i think he fell out with some people
Good Luck Jason

Thought it was Phil Jones

Had him in FM10 because one of my coaches told me to buy him. After a couple of seasons he was playing upfront with Torres and he was my top scorer.

My bad, didn't even see what you had posted.

All I can say is good luck with him. You're going to need it, he's a trouble maker.
