Most likely ?

Makes me assume that it’s either a prem Youngster on loan, a free transfer, or a signing from abroad. Assume it would of been reported in the media if it was a domestic perm transfer.

From what we’ve been told it’s a player who we haven’t been linked with this summer but have been in previous windows.

really wouldn’t surprise me if we end up signing no one today. It is rovers after all.

Due to the fee quoted in January I very much doubt it’s him. However, I like many on here, have long said we are in need of natural wide players who provide width and pace. Imagine a front 3 of Jozwiak - Armstrong - Brereton could be quite effective with Gally, Chapman, Dolan and Rothwell as back ups. I guess there’s a chance that the fee has been significantly reduced due to COVID but that’s probably unlikely. Though I do agree we need to be focusing our financing resources on the defensive positions we need.

Good shout

So was mine about jozwiak ?

I was thinking maybe it’s a suggestion that the player is from Bolton Wanderers. Wonder - Wanderers. But thinking about it’s probably abit far fetched.

Was impressive with Luton last season, would be happy with him though would prefer him on a permanent deal. Also think Sarr would be good buisness on a free transfer, certainly an upgrade on Williams.

will be scenes if it’s Kipre. I imagine it’ll be Sarr or someone like that.

I am 100% in the boat of ‘we need to move on to other targets’ however I can’t help but think we won’t get better than Kipre in the market we are currently looking at. Having seen him play on a number of occasions, he is a high quality championship centre back who is strong in the air, quick and importantly for us, good on the ball. I actually rate him higher than Lenihan. His age is also a massive plus, in a year or two he could easily be worth between 5-10 million. For me, at 900k he is an absolute bargain and would be a huge coup. For me that is the frustration, especially as it seems it’s a deal we have come close to (and might still do), but has just seemed to get away from us. I think all of us can understand why he may of have had his head turned by prem interest/wages so I don’t hold anything against him in that regard. It does feel like we still have a chance, even more so now that the West Brom deal has stalled. But as I’ve said, we shouldn’t wait on him, especially as the season fast approaches. Think it would actually be easier for the club if he just signed for them as then we would be in a position where we actually know where we stand. If he does end up joining I’ll genuinely be over the moon because it would be a great deal for the club, but think it’s time to move on. Interested to see what our alternatives are.

Is this something you have heard? Personally just want this saga to be done with now, would be nice if we could nab him while West Brom hesitate.

according to many on Twitter Kipre is having a medical with West Brom so I reckon it’s time we put this one to bed.

Honestly I just want this Kipre deal to be announced one way or another, hopefully to us, just so we can all be out out of our misery. In other news I see that Stefan Johansen is available on loan from Fulham, he would be a great signing for us.

Can’t see Kipre going anywhere but West Brom but it seems like the guy on twitter who originally broke the news still thinks he’s coming to us.

Is this an assumption or have you heard something? Hope your right!

Have to say I feel like people are overreacting to this. I like many hope it is a CB or a LB as they are clearly needed, but I also feel like we need another midfielder, esp as were going with this 4 - 3 - 3 formation. In the grand scheme of things it doesn’t matter what order we sign positions, aslong as we sign all of them. If the right player comes along then we arnt gonna turn it down because we want to sign other positions first. I’m sure (Hope!)the club isn’t stupid enough to waste finances on less crucial additions, I’m sure they’ve set out a budget for each position with a centre back and left back having the majority of our budget dedicated to them. One thing I am worried about is that there seems to be a disturbingly lack of left back rumours.

Really hoping it’s Kipre!

Thought BB had a good game, put himself about and tried to make things happen. Was always willing to beat his man and he rolled his fullback a number of times especially in the 2nd half. Shocking miss tho. Chapman offered very little, meanwhile Dolan was very lively. He looks so Lightweight but uses his body so well with his low centre of gravity. Actually feel like he should be starting against Bournemouth. Their first goal was never a pen and there second was down to shocking errors from bell and fisher. In general though the defence wasn’t good enough. I hope that only Lenihan is in that starting backline at the beginning of the league season. happy to get the win.

Never ever a pen. One of the worst decisions I’ve seen

Pitch is awful

Are Blackburn running a stream for this game?

For some reason still have hope that we might get Kipre. Hoping Westbrom go for Duffy instead. Anyone who might be ITK heard anything?

I quite like it tbf, looking forward to seeing the away kit.

Decent player. Left footed aswell so would offer some balance to the backline. 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.
