My feeling is that we’re looking at McGinn and Bauer permenant and Gallagher on loan before 5pm on Thursday.

Well that does it!! I like Rich but he doesn’t usually stick his neck on the block like this...if he’s admitting an interest in McGinn it’s fair to say that we are probably trying to get that one over the line by Thursday!! ?

Celtic have been faffing aboot with this all summer. Offered 1.25m, then 1.5m then aren’t going higher. Player is out of contract next summer. He is worth more to Hibs to play for one season, than 1.5m. Also St Mirren are due a slice of his next transfer fee.

His correct title is Super John mcGinn. Can’t think of a better player to be your box to box midfielder in behind Dack. Same age too.

Ahhh ok so he would play as one of the two then? Really can’t see this happening. Would have to sell Whittingham and loan one of Davenport or Travis to even fit him in.

Nixon’s attempt at covering his tracks after saying we’d only be getting loans:

 

‘BLACKBURN. Venkys have had some profitable months ... so boosted Mowbray spending fund enough to do Armstrong deal’

 

 

That’s just utter shite from Nixon trying to back himself after saying we didn’t have a pot to piss in all summer. He’s such a bell.

Mentioned him a while ago, top player.

Would be an incredible signing but I think you would have maybe sell Smallwood and let Whittingham go.

 

The McGinn link is a weird one. What position is he? I know he’s a midfielder but is he going to sit in one of the two positions filled by Smallwood, Evans, Travis and Davenport or as one of the three attacking mids? I really can’t see us signing another DM. Also seems like Celtic are in the driving seat....BUT I don’t think the Daily Record is a ‘fake news’ outlet...so there probably is an interest. Be a fantastic signing too!

On a separate note, it would be a great bit of housekeeping if we could get rid of the likes of Hart, Caddis, Gladwin and Whittingham. Plus loaning out Nuttall (When reinforcements arrive) plus Tomlinson.

Don’t worry mate. Bearing in mind the added potential of racial / cultural connotation behind his choice of ‘ya noes’ he’ll definitely get ‘reined’ in. Watch.

PS - I actually prefer your accurate description. ??

Thompson is the joint owner. This actually does look promising!

Not true. We just don’t like people being dicks. Nothing posted in the recent past has been fitting of such a description though, so everyone will have to try harder, clearly....

1.25m permanent signing! In this market he could be worth 15m if he scores 10 next season

Top man. Appreciated. I’m off to slaughter that belter Mconnell on Twitter! ??

Something doesn't sit right here, only yesterday or day before he was only an "option" but we had "other targets". 

 

If its true the only thing I can conclude is if Rovers have said.. Here's what we're willing to pay, let us know but we have other targets so don't leave it too late... They've dangled on transfer market without anyone biting, panicked and taken the money. 

Always the case. If the selling team want rid then the price drops as you get closer to the deadline....

Graham up top, with Arma, Dack and Palmer supporting. Lots of variety in that supporting trio, and if allowed to switch and change, the potential to really hurt teams. 

Some actual competition for Graham would be nice. 

I think he might play Arma up top away from home when we are looking to counter attack with pace.

Is it perm or loan? That egg Jamie Mconnell spouting off that it’s a loan on Twitter! ?

Apologies in advance if you are Mr Mconnell ????

I don’t rate Nicko at all but it’s usually right when he actually names the player. You know he’s chatting shit when he goes all cryptic!! ?

Be happy if true!! ??

Cant see it being Gallagher or Armstrong who was in Portugal

Hopefully its Chapman or Maddison or Waghorn. 

God knows mate. Don’t even know if it’s true. Suppose Waghorn who I guess fits the remit. Based on the last couple of days, the rest are beneath us. He’s openly said he wants better than them!

So we could afford to pay 3 mil and wages for Armstrong - apparently. Certainly interesting if true. 

Completely at odds with the messages coming from TM and Sharp himself via the LT in the last few weeks though. Pretty sure Sharp has said on a number of occasions that we cannot afford AA. 

I dunno - I give up trying to second guess this lot.

To be fair, TM never said we didn’t have the cash to spend. Actually he said he was happy with his budget. And a few weeks back Sharpe said the AA deal was too expensive but perhaps that statement was in context with the list TM has. So it wasn’t that we couldn’t afford AA, just that the deal was too expensive for our “D” choice...

when you look at TM’s quotes they actually haven’t changed other than around not being able to get them in early.

This guy is the absolute worst, I remember a few years back he was giving it the ITK spiel and then named someone at Rovers as his source, I rang the guy in question who was pretty annoyed to say the least, Fudboy there backtracked pretty sharpish.

Never sure what anyone hopes to get from acting like they know something 

That guy is clueless. Sad really.

Their squad has been dismantled - Hurst has gone from being the messiah to the most hated man in history there. 

We have to beat Ipswich. Dismantled squad and a load of League 1 level additions!! 

Sorry guys, it was a direct lift from that tweet. Was just passing it on. Sorry for confusion 

“Apparently someone is travelling to Blackburn tonight ready for talks with Rovers tomorrow about a move .... interesting”

Interesting that Rich says we can afford Armstrong for £3 million + wages. Really curious about these other targets now.

Me too!! ??
