"Premier" league club in the middle of the table quickly found a replacement for defender Lucas Neill, who left for "West Ham". He will be replaced by Stephen Warnock from "Liverpool", who can play both safely and defensively. Earlier it was thought that "Liverpool" and "Blackburn" would simply exchange these players, as the "Reds" were keenly interested in L.Neill. However, the Australian defender, who has played over 200 matches for the "Rovers", recently chose the offer from "West Ham", where he is expected to receive about £60,000 a week. "Blackburn" did not take long to find a replacement for the Australian. This was hastened by an unfortunate incident - in Saturday's match against "Man City", another defender, Dutchman Andre Ooijer, broke his leg and will be out of the squad until the end of the season, so the team definitely needed another defensive minded player. On Monday, "Blackburn" announced that they will be adding Stephen Warnock, who has not been very active in recent years at "Liverpool". Team coach Mark Hughes was pleased with the new team member: "He has Champions League experience and has played in the Premier League in the past decade. Stephen is left-footed and will be able to replace L. Neill on the left side." Since 1998, the 25-year-old S. Warnock, belonging to "Liverpool", has struggled to fit in this team, being loaned out to "Bradford" and "Coventry" clubs, and this season he appeared on the field only seven times.
