Jermaine Jones Set for Loan to Blackburn Rovers, and more...

Sky Sports is reporting that want-away Schalke and USA midfielder Jermaine Jones is set for a move across the English channel to EPL side Blackburn Rovers.  Ninety Plus understands that this is a loan with an option to buy for Blackburn, who currently sit 10th in the EPL table. 

After being tossed in the Felix Magath doghouse a couple months ago, this is a welcome relief for Jones, who is looking to secure first team minutes in the hopes of making the February US squad that will travel to Cairo for an international friendly against Egypt.

In other news, Robbie Findley's move to Nottingham Forest was finalized today as he was granted his work permit.  Prove us all wrong Robbie.

The US scheduling for this world cup cycle has been top notch...more coming on that later today.
