Nicko:
"I did say it was a stunner.
When I got a call on this I thought I had been taken back in time about ten years.
The approach was made official yesterday. Fowler had started training with Cardiff for the new season but it is an open relationship, he could have stayed on a pay-as-you-play basis or left.
It is a shock because I am not sure he is terribly fit, but he is coming up to do the normal ´tests´ that players do.
You could say it was brave by both Paul Ince and Fowler.
In Ince´s case there is bound to be some howling and it is either genius or madness. The new manager obviously trusts his own opinion. To be fair to him I think some of his other targets are very imaginative - the Mexican, the Ecuadorian and a few others who I will keep back for now.
In Fowler´s case he has walked out on a club for the chance of a short-term contract at Rovers. He has the money, so he has the choice. But he could still have taken the easy life.
I would expect Fowler to be at Blackburn for training today. That was the plan last night.
Unless he has been on here to read the reaction... :) "
Litt news om Castillo:
Ince is poised to fly in Ecuador midfielder Segundo Castillo to make him his first signing - but faces a puzzle over his contract and owners.
Castillo is due to arrive for talks and a medical but Rovers are unravelling problems with his registration.
The powerful star has been with Red Star Belgrade for the past two seasons and is officially a free agent.
However his ´owners´ are looking for a fee of around £6m - and that raises questions about third-party ownership.
