One  can only guess , fit by Xmas transferred to a foreign club in mid January 26 for an undisclosed fee ?

It is absolutely disgusting , that these cretins are allowed to run the club !

If signing a player injured, who plays very little or not at all (He may well play yet who knows) then it shows that making the team, let alone improving it, is secondary to ensuring that the signing takes place

For whose benefit is that then, certainly not Blackburn Rovers.

Who wants to start a poll for 'ITK OF THE WINDOW'? 😅

 

I'd do it myself but I'm out and about....

He seems to be on podcasts quite regularly. Quite a few of that team are, terrible listening as the Coyle stories are an awful listen

Alan Browne would have been a fantastic signing given his experience and quality, the way it was dismissed totally out of hand in the post match interview tells me everything I need to know. 

That we won't pay over £10k in wages and guarantee him playing time?

Now, I wonder....

Definitely nothing happening

Yep. And that the ambition of this football club is zero.

Boro have signed a striker who looks far better than gudjonson.

I just looked at the relegation team from 16/17 and a an injury to Tronstad puts us very much in the realms of Hope Akpan, Jason Lowe and Danny Guthrie

Lowe was our captain that season.

Let that sink in for a minute.

[Valconite]

Very concerning that there aren’t even any whispers of an incoming midfielder. They can’t be that crazy thinking our current selection is good enough after watching all those defeats. Then again considering who is running the show they most likely do 😬

It's about bodies here, not if they are good enough.

They see 5 players for 2 positions and deem that plenty.

[aletheia]

Yes, I suspect they hope Tronstad keeps fit and then make do with the other 3 until Bardji is fit. Also perhaps hoping that new personnel up top might take some pressure off if we are scoring some goals.

Jackson has resorted to updating us on other Championship transfers, whilst pushing his own Gudjohnsen article, which is soundbites from Rovers TV.  

Tick tock. Looking increasingly like nothing is going to happen.

Will see - looks a bit slow and fat from the highlights videos I've just watched of him.

I can actually see Gudjohnsen doing well here - he's the type of striker we've been missing.

Probably also cost a decent amount more both in fee and wages.

Meanwhile embargoed Hull are still managing to sign free players. Somehow convinced Leeds to release Gyabi a year early. Not sure how they've managed that.

[LDRover]

Stinks of an agent feeding frenzy doesn't it? 

Takes me back to the halcyon days of Paolo Jorge and Edinho jr.

I wonder if there will be a future fee based on appearances or similar that sees them skirt around signing players for a fee

[paullarrygher]

Not sure which is more depressing - a transfer deadline day shambles or one where we do nothing at all when it's clear we need 2 more players.

"I think around 10 million euros was mentioned by Slovakian media" according to someone on Reddit.

They'll be trying, but without those ESC places to play with and this hard £10k a week salary cap options will be very limited.

Any of those targets from the Continent that would suit the above criteria would already be over for a medical (and those tend to leak out) so I suspect we're not going to sign anyone.

At this stage, the only ones happening, both on a logistical & financial point, due to the points you mention, will be teenagers on loan from the Premier League

Just waiting on that confirmation that Elliott Jackson has had it confirmed from the club that we are 100% done.

Then we can enjoy the push of ignoring the gaps in the squad. Phrases like happy with the numbers, dont want to upset senior players and creating pathways can come out.

Maybe we should get a bingo card made up?

Or they've kept the transfer of a bloke with multiple international caps / a British passport who currently plays on the Continent incredibly quiet. I'd be impressed if that's the case.

Come on get Alan Browne in!
