He's seemingly also banned from saying 'think' or 'thought' (fink & fought, managing to sound like a toddler in the process). Anyway, hopeful we do make The Moose a permanent signing this window. Whilst he's still clearly not fully up to speed, he's shown why we were keen to take him even pre-operation. Bags of potential in that one, I fink.

Agreed - did a transatlantic with them for work last year (via Copenhagen) and they were spot on.

I read VI's comments about settling into Bodo as the player wanting a move.

Yes I think it must be something like that. I mean Bodo play Man City next week and in Madrid the week after. We play Swansea on Tuesday then Watford at home. Not really much of a comparison 😂

Is he not banned from Brockhall STC 🤷‍♂️

Can't say that I'm looking forward to this one. A 4.30 am start from Ewood and not a ground that we generally do well at. I'd be delighted with a point but a defeat would put a huge amount of pressure on the Swansea and Watford games.

In fairness the transfer has suprised most people in Norwegian football including the Bodo fans. Bodo usually beds in players for several months to get used to their high-intensity training and tempo. Their coach is famous for not rotating the squad and Jørgensen have seemingly performed admirably in his cameos of the bench (4 goals in 10 matches in 300+ minutes). There could be something in the player not settling and might have pushed.

But despite the ice they are all happier than here and at least he'll be used to tiny home crowds.

People often think Blackburn is a difficult place to settle in. Try a town of 42,000 which is a 16 hour car journey from Oslo and further north than practically all of Alaska.. It is far enough inside the Arctic Circle that at this time of the year, the only "daylight" is caused by refraction by the Earth's atmosphere for an hour or so each day. When he signed it was probably brilliant sunshine at midnight and warm enough to venture out in a light sweater.

I found the timings quite strange too. Bear in mind the Norwegian league also runs March till November so they effectively had what half a season out of him and a few champions league performances. 4 goals in 10 league appearances doesn't suggest he was awful there? He was their main/most expensive signing too by the looks of things. Bodo have played 2 friendlies in Jan and he was on the bench in 1, he started the game on Tuesday which suggests he was in their plans. Was it an offer they couldn't turn down? 🤔

The longer the contract the more time you have to pay the fee over and also base a chunk of it on add ons. Also it can compensate a bit for a lower wage 'we can't give you that much over 2/3 years but we can give you this much over 4 years so you had the security' That kind of thing that they've done before with the likes of Armstrong and Gallagher although bigger figures involved obviously.

All manner of things really, less traffic jams if you're lucky, less driver hours, less diesel etc As you say meals and snacks on the bus and straight to bed when they get there but you're going to be leggy in the morning not doing much until you get to the ground and do pre match. I know Eustace had them walking up the sea front at Plymouth last time we were there.

The latest was they were "in talks about making is move permanent" or words to that effect Given that the option was already agreed in the summer, & doesn't require any talks (it just needs activating), I would assume there is no news

whats the latest of baradji signing permantly

That 5th line can all go as far as I'm concerned

sounds about right,let there late and then you don`t have to pay for an evening meal,get 4 of them to share a room as well🙂 that was the waggot way

Don't understand anyone who doesn't approve of the owners and who wants new ownership (of which I assume you're one) being opposed to the boycott. If there's anyone left who either thinks they are decent owners or that no-one would ever buy us (and there certainly seem to be a few on that other site) then fair enough I can understand it.

It's definitely a punt, any striker from the Scandinavian league would be. On the other hand, who could you get with Championship experience and a proven goal record for 3.5 mill and 10k a week? Ryan Hardie is probably the only that springs to mind, and would make sense to me.

you have to question why bodo glimt signed jorgenson in the summer and are offloading him a couple of months later,take no notice of the quoted "3.5 million" either,sidnei was touted as costing 2 million but thats obviously a load of ****,it pays not to believe anything that comes out of ewood

Reduce costs further and tighten deadly duo control?

Rovers team used to train Friday mornings then travel down in the afternoon for away games. Distance ones they used to fly or occasionally the train but in the Waggot era i got told his method was train Fri afternoon and travel in the evening for distance games. Not sure if true or if it makes a difference or not.

The Rolling Stones - Gimme Shelter

So we have loaned a midget centre half from Brighton (echoes of JPvH in our dreams), successfully tempted a winger cum forward from 32nd place in the Champions League, Gueye is teaching Shanghai how to trap a ball and Mercer is a hero. Have I missed anything?
