It will be who performs the best of the worst. How times have changed at Ewood.

Ai is wrong.

According to Ai, Blackburn Rovers have won only 1 home game under Ismael, in 32 games, and hes still in the dugout.

Blackburn boss Valerien Ismael does not expect new signing Moussa Baradji to return to fitness until after the next international break in October.

Doesn’t matter what type of midfielder they are, if they’re unfit or shite. Useless to us either way.

Year we went down to League One: Played 19, 20 points, 21st place. Not much wiggle room there.

No we bloody well didn't. And even if we did, what difference does us knowing it make? Half the season is half the season.

5 home games over the next 6 weeks or so. Let's hope that the 'freak' weather which is special to Blackburn Rovers according to the hierarchy doesn't cause any more abandoned games.

No we didn’t. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25426771.blackburn-rovers-boss-reveals-update-baradji-fitness/

No, because the club employed Adam Owen for that.

I sincerely doubt they are doing anything other than trying to ease fixture congestion, which combined with the rain would have totally wrecked the surface. All these home games, some our own fault, with another against Sheff Wed to slot in soon, plus Youth/u21s would have made a right mess of it.

Didn't you look into the player and watched videos of him to see why we wanted to sign him?.

This time last year played 19, 34 points, 5th place This time this year played 19, 22 points, 20th place. Not seeing an improvement despite all this supposed spending and supposed better squad.

Well knew this with Baradji when he signed that it would be November/December time before he would fit but its a player Ismael wanted

How can any of us say assertively what Baradji is or isnt or even if he will perform that role? Its December and hes had a few semi lively cameos against tired legs.

Why shouldn't he be? Two weeks shy of Christmas and he hasnt been fit enough to start a game yet! If he eventually comes in and does well, and then we sign him permanently and he turns into a bit of a superstar you could excuse it but otherwise he's been a pointless and costly signing.

one who looks like he cant be arsed

Does Tavares know what sort of midfielder he is?

So he is like a worse version of John Buckley? 😉

You are bloody obsess with the fact that Baradji was injured when signed. Baradji is box to box and ball carry midfielder. You seen that when watching him and researching into the type of player.. On Tavares, I dont know what type of player he is tbh. From Ismael comments he seen like box to box but not real seen that. I dont see him as defensive midfielder to be honest

But 7b is from registration not signing. A full window passing can’t possibly include a window in which that event took place, even if it was right at the very beginning of it.

Sounds more like a temporary fix to get us through the season, so in the summer everyone can forget about it and save our Billionaire owners some cash.

He could technically be signed now, he jut cannot be registered until the window opens on 1st Jan. This is possible as "future signings" can be made, all paperwork completed etc, the top teams do so all of the time. This would mean that if he is signed as soon as the window opens, then 1 full window will have passed by the time the January window closes, so he could then be converted in the summer of 2027 when the registration window reopens. Obviously this relies on Rovers being organised and efficient, so is pie in the sky stuff
