Have to agree. Disappointing perhaps, but not a disaster imo. Centre backs are probably the easiest position to pick up bargains, and if we do sign the French lad then I'm sure we can pick up a cheap alternative somewhere. Weimann would be a bench warmer, so again I'm prepared to see what the recruitment team comes up with in that position. We all know Eustaces preference for older players , but somewhere down the line that policy will come back to haunt you.

Interesting about Drameh, saying interest has increased recently... As reported last week, Hull City's Cody Drameh is a target to strengthen Rovers' right-back options. However, their interest has developed beyond the initial inquiry stage.

Blackburn Rovers are in advanced talks to sign Montpellier centre-back Modibo Sagnan, The Lancashire Telegraph can exclusively reveal. Rovers are looking to make an early impression in the summer transfer market as they bid to reshape Valerien Ismael's squad. The head coach is looking for around six new signings to bolster his squad before any possible departures. Rudy Gestede told The LT last month that a left-sided centre-back was on Rovers' transfer shopping list. With Danny Batth out of contract and Scott Wharton recovering from a long-term injury, it's an area Rovers need to bolster. Montpellier centre-back Sagnan is a top target for the club in that area and talks have been held over bringing him to Ewood Park. The 26-year-old would require a transfer fee and Rovers are prepared to spend to sign him.

That has opened the door for a possible move away from the club. Sagnan signed for Montpellier in January 2024 for a fee of around £3million euros. It's unknown what their asking price is in order for Rovers to complete the deal. Leeds United and Sunderland have both been linked with the defender in recent months by the French press. However, it's unclear how strongly the newly promoted sides will push for his signature as they prepare for The Premier League. The LT understands that Saint-Etienne defender Mickael Nade is also a player of interest to Rovers. The 26-year-old is again left-footed and is thought to be an alternative option to Sagnan. He featured 26 times for the French club in Ligue 1 last term and has been with the club since coming through the Academy. As reported last week, Hull City's Cody Drameh is a target to strengthen Rovers' right-back options. However, their interest has developed beyond the initial inquiry stage. Head of Football Operations, Gestede, is leading negotiations in line with Rovers' budgets. Those responsibilities were often shared last season with now-departed Chief Executive, Steve Waggott

So, we were winners at Wembley after all 😃

Didn't seem to be

Then Wycombe take Kone off 🤷‍♂️

Bizarre substitution? Unless he's been injured, he was only on the bench on the first leg I noticed. Whatever, get him signed !

Like the look of Thierry Small tonight. Playing down the right hand side, very positive and theres a buzz among the crowd when he's involved. Need to get the ball to him more often

Going back a bit further but I loved Chris Price. The original Duracell bunny, just never stopped runninh

Think this ship has sailed tbh... Can't see it.. https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1273038761?-11198:839

Derby and Rovers. Who would've thought it ? 😄

Agreed, just think we could pick up a CB on a free agent basis . Batth and Fadz proved there are plenty out there if you know where to look

Not for me at that price. If the budget is limited, as we expect, then we have bigger priorities elsewhere.

Isn't he a left back, or lwb ? Can't see it with Ribeiro and Pickering here and Powell also. Unless they let Pickering go ?

Really disappointed to hear this, really thought he was going to establish himself in the team but the injuries have been so cruel to him Good luck Zac https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25146680.zak-gilsenan-depart-blackburn-rovers-end-deal/
