How have we got to a position where we are less appealing than West Bromwich Albion? I've been to West Brom, there is nothing there. There is nothing in their town there is nothing in their trophy cabinet. They are a poxy yo yo team who will never go anywhere. We are Blackburn fucking Rovers for fuck sake, pride of Lancashire, rich history, ex Premier League Champions. Stop being ridiculous Cedric and come and play for the biggest and best club in Lancashire. But also, be prepared to play on the wing or potentially in goal. I had this realisation earlier when I saw Rich's article. It really hit home how far we have fallen that we can't even beat West Brom to a signing. Even more so, how disappointed I am that we won't be signing a defender from Wigan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ever since we became a Championship side, it should never be a surprise that we lose out on signings to a Premier League team. If Solihull Motors were suddenly plonked into the Prem, they'd likely be able to beat us to Kipre too. It's got nothing to do with who is the more prestigious institution, and everything to do with who has more money and plays in the top flight right now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I find it amazing that a player of his calibre and with that price tag is still unsigned by any championship club never mind the PL The likes of Swansea going for Williams when this guys on the market shelf .. Astonishing.... Why did you have to post that, Swansea will be after him now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Shows how far we’ve fallen. Fans (including myself) excited about a 900k signing of a centre back. Then beaten to it by West Brom. Ultimate yo yo club with no trophys. Oh well. Nice to have some optimism, even if only for a few hours. And poor old Rich Sharpe. Finally with some transfer info ahead of the game. And then all for nothing.

Popular Post Mattyblue 14529 Posted August 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2020 (edited) West Bromwich Albion are Founder Members of the Football League, they’ve spent around 80 seasons as a top flight club (10 seasons more than us), they’ve also won numerous trophies. They are a historical football club of similar ilk to Blackburn Rovers... oh and they are in the Premier League. Some serious football illiteracy if you think West Brom are a ‘nothing club’.

Shows all that is wrong with a modern day footballer. If he is willing to sit on the bench rather than play, has he got the mentality that we want at the Rovers.

unleaded 718 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Hearing Rovers have enquired for 6-5 Naby Sarr !! No idea what he’s like ... looks like they moved on or maybe he was the second defender ... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's got the choice of a mid-table Championship team or a side that's now in the Premier League. Even if he starts the season on the bench there, all it takes is an injury, suspension or one of the starting CBs in poor form, and he'd be in. Do alright and all of a sudden you're a regular in the Premier League. I know where I'd go if I were him (and had no affiliation to Rovers obviously). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If we managed to get him and Kipre I would be very happy. The word from West Brom is that they still haven’t made a formal bid as they still have eyes on other targets.
