Thanks Fadz, you’ve been monumental throughout the journey. All the very best

Great player and importantly a massive character. To me he ozzes team spirit, comradeship, all that stuff. A big loss even not playing but wish him well and hope we see him back as part of future legends days.

I never saw George Curtis play but In my mind I imagine him being a McFadzean type player, an icon and that image of 4 Rotherham players sprawled on the floor as Fads walked away will be used as a shadow image on a future Hummel shirt

It should be in both changing rooms

Make no mistake George Curtis was a bloody good player, tough as teak, great in defending crosses and had pace. His broken leg held him up to show how good he was against the country’s best centre-forwards but he was back in 6 months and played a vital part of our survival.

Sorry to see Fadz go but it's probably a good thing for all parties. He leaves with my best wishes.

One of our most influential players and a modern day legend. It was clear his time with us was sadly coming to an end but wish him all the best for the future.

Got to admit I'm a bit surprised he got snapped up by another Championship club if I'm honest. His experience and leadership will help but pace and movement could prove a problem for him at this level now, but hope it works out for him.

Short term deal for a player with lots of leadership skills joining a side who are badly lacking in that department. Expect he will join a team lower down the pyramid in the summer.

He already has a good understanding with Hyam. Could be a very good signing for them. They don't exactly play the same way we do.

If we are being honest they are a nothing club who won the lottery by virtue of a mega rich benefactor being born down the road from their ground, who bankrolled them to a title in the 90s and have ever since had some sort of entitlement about them

And Chelsea Man City weren’t bankrolled

Every team that has won the prem has been bank rolled compared to most of the other teams that have been there even spurs, Everton, villa have all had / got billionaires backing them, but yet to win since the prem was formed.

Wonder if he’ll play against us in April? Assume he will if his contract was terminated so can’t see why not.

Honestly, I thought McFadz was going to drop to a L1 or L2 team. I do not think moving to Blackburn will work out at all.

You cannot dislike McFadz and he’s been a stalwart since he’s joined and as other have said, arguably MRs best signing…

… Platitudes aside, my gut feeling was that he was player that is punching above their weight and I have doubts as to whether he can play Championship football still. Especially in a back 4 as Blackburn play and imo, this has Arjan de Zeeuw vibes for Blackburn.

Their activity today is weird . Wait till the last day of the window to sell their biggest asset and replace him with a load of stop gaps

I'm sure he will do a job for them.

Their season is about over. Absolutely no chance of the playoffs and just a few wins from safety. If they were chasing the playoffs like us I would tend to agree. His experience and desire to win will see them over the line.

They say he used to train by running full speed in brick walls. He had to stop when they ran out of walls.

Various twitter accounts saying Tomasson has either quit or been sacked. Hope that doesn't affect Fadz' time there.
