Has anyone made a Ryoya Rovers (read Roy of the Rovers) reference yet? That's a gimme for the social media

Very happy with the Ryoya signing. From the sounds of it, a bit of a coup to get him. Played a big role in their Europa Conf League run last season and supposedly didn't look out of place against clubs like Chelsea. Ryoya, Cantwell, Kargbo, and a new striker could be a very dangerous front 4. Don't think Soumano will come here but I'm pleased to see that we are actively after a striker as we were led to believe we only wanted a RW.

Somehow, we have to take the reputation damage to India.

If players did not feel let down, would VI risk alienating people, who have a high regard for Travis?...(unless he knows they are all leaving too)

We can always live in hope 🙏

They can have him. I was unimpressed at his lack of want in a game. Taking a wage and onto the next club. His lack of effort and absolutely gash finishing at Bram Lane last season put me off him

spot on. The way Ismael big up Baradji in an article on Rovers yesterday suggested that he sees Baradji has a key signing for hiw he wants to play here with his midfield. agreed 100% Widzew Lodz are lower mid table team. If he has the chance of coming here, then he will. Know nothing about him, so can't comment on this player but encouraging we looking to spend and to sign a striker

Not getting too excited but i feel alot better than i did 4 weeks ago about this squad. Dark clouds slowly parting

Looks like a slightly more athletic version of Gueye...But yeh looks clumsy.

🙂

Gordon had konate on toast too. What a brain dead tackle

French 2nd division for the last 3 seasons. Surely we’re not forking out £5m there. He’s one of the only players I’ve ever seen a YouTube highlight reel look distinctly unimpressive.

Stupid challenge. Would have liked that half to carry on for another 10 minutes there as that would have really boiled over.

The Rovers reunion continues? Strange since Eustace didn't want him here

Silly me, I forgot!

Red card probably ruined the game, stupid tackle from Gordon and a deserved red. Shows how VAR and countless replays can change a view though Sutton on commentary said it wasn’t much of a foul, then he said definitely just a yellow card, then he decided a red was probably coming and then it was definitely a red!

But I thought we were going to be churning out 3,000 academy minutes or something like that?

At the end of the day all we can do as fans is make their ownership of Rovers a perpetual PR nightmare. They clearly want to hide away from this so let's not give them that luxury. Drag their name through the mud the way they've done ours. Let the whole world know that they're just incompetent, spoilt, petulant small time morons. We need to make it so that whenever the name venkys comes up people's automatic response is "those fucking cretins that destroyed Blackburn Rovers". Whatever financial scam they've been running for the last 15 years is irrelevant to some degree, let's just concentrate on smashing their reputation.

Brilliant first half so far.

No way would Derby sanction another ex (🤞) Rover, especially since the ones they've got already aren't pulling up trees, to be generous.

So we can put that one to bed.... 🙂

Miller will probably end up covering Hyams position if they shunt him off to Watford at the last min.

We’re going to have far fewer ‘home grown’ players this season (compared to last). As 7 need naming in a match day squad I think there’s going to be games where we’ll end up with a fairly inexperienced bench to meet this requirement. I don’t think we should be letting any more senior ones (eg Hyam) leave unless their replacement counts as home grown too.

He spoke decent English on his interview.

Another player ive never heard of...although I could say that about 80% of players in the championship...presume this guy is a winner and not another 10 to clog up with cantwell and henrikssen. Has he got any pace? Big worry for me is lack of any championship experience and probable language barrier amongst players now.
