Blackburn Rovers are set to announce the signing of Fejiri Okenabirhie from Shrewsbury Town on a one-year deal, according to a local newspaper #brfc #shrews. Just on Twitter no idea if true

Agree with you,, but patience on here you must me joking, ok Stoke signed 5 on one day, extremely unusual, most of the clubs are in the same position as us, wish folk would just wait until the window closes, and then make a judgment.

What do you actually expect, decent names there, you do realise we aren’t in the premier league, still living in 1995 ?things have changed, we have to build the team again and hope to get back amongst the big boys, and then, we can get the bigger names in.

Think I’ll listen to Dunny, who said he’s still plenty to offer, certainly worth a 1year deal.

Some other clubs haven’t signed anybody, there’s been very little action in the whole division, why can’t folk just be patient and see who we end up with, then decide if TM has done a job or not.

You could very well be right, but what I saying let’s wait and see if he can bring a better player before we slate him.

And let’s wait for the start of the season, and see who we have signed before all this none sense on here.

Come on get your facts right, no we couldn’t sign him as Charlton made it clear he wasn’t going anywhere until the end of the season, can’t blame them they wanted promotion. Then as widely reported TM said his agent bumped up his wages as he was on a free. Think what Sharp said is probably the truth, that Preston said he would be starting (obviously not guaranteed) and one of the main 2 c/backs, whereas Rovers said he would be 1 of 4 but could well be on the bench, hope TM comes out and clarifies and hope he ends up with a better signing.

As Sharpe said, looks like Preston guaranteed him a starting place and Rovers couldn’t give him that, let’s hope we have someone else lined up who’s better.

It’s not poor at all, Rovers tried to sign him twice in 2 different windows, the lad was desperate to come, but the club, said he wasn’t going anywhere until the end of his contract, quite within their rights as he ended up getting them promoted. As TM then said, his agent thought,if no one is paying a fee we will bang his his wages up to silly money, can’t blame Rovers, but I can’t see Preston paying more than us, so if he does end up there it could be for a different reason, looks like we’ll soon find out with the player making that statement yesterday,

Yep, very true?

Fred Pickering,blast from the past.

Aye you could be right, was one of them, think he had a dodgy back, Rovers conned again.

Yeah Martin Britt, had to retire at 21, that’s when the the medical as we know today came about, because West Ham conned us, and sold us a crock.

Love a positive fan, let’s hope for a few decent signings.

That’s because the early bird price is finishing, no early bird for Rovers fans hence the slow uptake.

Great post.

Speaking to someone who was talking to Anthony Pilkington’s relation, said he really wanted to come to Rovers before signing for Wigan, and that Rovers said the reason they didn’t want to sign him,was a policy of not signing anyone over 30. So this rumour re Downing could just very well be a rumour,also thought that TM said he’d like to bolster the squad with 2/3 mid twenty’s who could go straight into the side alongside his younger ones coming through from the u/23s. Looking forward to see what happens.

Yep,pretty well agree with that assumption.

And you’re one who clearly doesn’t understand, just saying Mowbray seems to talk and act with a bit of sense, IMO no need to call me names, we’ll just agree to disagree as usual.

when we haven’t signed anyone, you have to be a little smart, with the guys you let go, but the terms you offer, the conversation with the player shows the player if he’s going to get much game time, like I said TM knows what he’s doing, same applies for Rodwell, some fans understand, and some don’t.

Just can’t win can Mowbray in your opinion, TM played it right IMO, he’s been a very decent player for us,regardless of how many games he’s played, but the time is right for him to move on, expect one or two more under contract to move on as well to free the wage bill for new blood.

And Armstrong fee as well,quite a few thought we wouldn’t stump up for him.

On what grounds do you think it’s unlikely that Venkys will spend ?
