roverandout Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 It's such a scattergun approach to signing players with rovers. It's obvious no real planning has gone into recruitment. A loan deal for a Liverpool reserve, a loan deal for two Brighton players. A loan deal for an mls player. The scouting clearly isn't up to much. Properly run clubs scout all over the world for hidden gems. Rovers just go cap in hand 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His reports seem to consist of things he's made up, stuff already posted and a grain of truth, all posted from his front room. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackburnEnd75 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Is it 5 loan players in the match day squad isn't it? Someone at rovers needs to be keeping track of this because someone is missing out at this rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bring in whoever we can and spend as little as you can while you're at it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torgeir Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 6 minutes ago, Tom said: If that’s true it’s a terrible deal for us; huge amount for the loan fee and then a ridiculous agreed fee Meaning we’ll loan him but even if he’s brilliant not sign him If he does well they'll buy him for $7m and sell him on directly. If not I can't see it going through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevidgeBlue Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 3 minutes ago, alex l said: Don't know how true this is but... You couldn't make this shit up. £2.3m permanent fee negotiated, we renege, then renegotiate a loan deal costing c £500k with an option to buy for a total of c£7.5m! But yeah, we'll be signing him permanently............. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Displaced Rover Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 That options to buy price makes literally zero sense. It's so nonsensical it can't be true...wait this is Blackburn Rovers... If we were pushing for promotion then perhaps it would be realistic - fire us into Prem, take a punt he can step up. Scrambling around to stay in the league? In what world do we spend that sort of money in the summer? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trinidad Rover Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 So the rumor about the Venky overlords stopping any permanent transfers or fees is correct? 22m into the black hole it seems. As many of us predicted, we likely wont see any of it spent on transfers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHRover Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I've seen people praising Broughton's modus operandi of trying to get players in on loan with an option to buy in a later window. The trouble is that this is just a typical Venky regime stunt. No cash now, give us a favourable deal and then we -might- give you millions later depending on how the player does and what our circumstances are. Obviously a case of we haven't got two quid to rub together so we'll kick the can down the road for another 6 months and either go elsewhere then or maybe the owners will take some interest by then and actually allow some money to be spent. Making it up as they go along. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
