It wouldnt make sense for his Swiss team to agree to just loan him out for the final year of his contract so he must have signed an extension with them

I would say, "like we did with Duru"... but we didn't

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/may/13/duru-deal-extended/

Technically we hold a years option, so he wouldn't be out of contract if his move falls through, but it would have made more sense to extend his contract by a year first so that he still had 1 year + a years option if his loan to the US falls through

False alarm people

He'll be like a new signing when he's back though (whenever that is)

Kargbo as number 7 is genuinely mad! 

Kargbo and Gueye being number 7 and 9 for former premier league champions tells you all you need to know about how bad we’ve become under these lot

The way things are going, we will be all getting misty-eyed and nostalgic for the days of K & G when we could at least attract international players to East Lancashire, instead of scrambling for crumbs from Chorley & Morecambe's meagre tables...

Pointless (adj: having little or no sense, use or purpose) 

"retaining ownership of a once successful football club, whilst refusing to undertake any meaningful basic action in support of its operations, current position or future potential."  e.g. Venkateshwara Hatcheries Pvt. Ltd. /Blackburn Rovers

Quite a lot of noise that Arsenal are still looking to sign Tyjon.

Also saw a claim that one of the offers we rejected for him in the summer was 2.2 million, which is far higher than I'd seen before, and that he's now available for about 1 mill. If that's the case (as long as the 2.2 wasn't 80% in add ons) you have to question why we would turn that down. Which means we probably didn't, but assuming it's true for a second you'd surely go straight to the player and say 'look is there any way you're signing this deal or not?'. And if the answer is no you flog him.

Keeping him, refusing to play him cos he won't sign, and seeing his market value halve 6 months later is just fucking dumb.

Alfie Dorrington may be one to watch, recalled by Spurs, likely to be going back out to the championship 

behind a certain Ashley Phillips in the pecking order for centre backs at Spurs

Hope not we have little boys who can play cb already, need experience 

6 ft 4 , won the Scottish cup and made premier league debut last season, not sure he’s a little boy.

Last thing we need is a loan CB, we already have enough young guys from academy there.

If we do get a CB it has to be an experienced guy with impeccable fitness record, ideally some international games....

Someone like that Wrexham Captain Dom Hyam....

Spurs have recalled Dorrington just six months into his loan spell, having only been given a handful of starts in the Scottish Premiership, as well as some minutes across Europe.

 

Also seen a few concerns with his ariel ability

edit - suppose the Cashin move means we do not have to worry about that though

The expected but least exciting addition we needed, not sure he’s got many goals in him

Better than Ben Gibson 

true

But we are scraping the barrel, and this will stifle Pratt.  Brighton apparently more bothered about his playing time than his wage contribution, so will have specified that he starts (or Rovers will face a financial penalty etc)
