Szmodics edging closer to moving is my guess. I think it's clear nothing else is happening incoming until the last week of the window now.

Think you are giving them far too much credit here They aren't watching anything; they aren't looking at anything, they haven't the foggiest who is scoring goals or what any of the players names are. They don't give a shit.

Minimum allocation in championship is either 10% of total capacity or 2k whichever is lower. That's how we got away with giving them 2k a couple of years back. In the prem its 10% or 3k.

Why do you keep saying this? The club even said at the time that he wasn't in charge for the Stoke game - https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/february/09/eustace-appointed-rovers-head-coach/ Please don't say "that's your opinion" as its quite clearly fact. Unless your saying the club are wrong here? (Which would be a first!) John Eustace has not won a game at Ewood Park yet.

It was superb wasn't it. Some of the football in the first half of that season, and at various parts in the second half was just fantastic. We were near the front just to the side of the goal from 94-99 then row 23 from 99-2015, pretty much everyone we sat with started to drop off then so went to the Riverside after that. Back in the Blackburn End for the first time tonight since, like Matty said further up ticket sales look good in there tonight and its not far off being full, but not really expecting much of an atmosphere.

Gestede saying we want 3 more signings. We need at least double that if players are leaving too.

But Steve said the wage budged has increased....

Also shows we're very much still operating as a 1 out 1 in situation. So at a guess, O'Riordan, Batty, Markandey & Vale will all move out on loan before we can replace there positions.

Guessing that's the plan, getting in a left footer from somewhere that could play CB or LB.

Look at that Blackburn End in the final seconds of the video, not a spare seat to be had.

Think Kent is more of a winger so probably want both I'm guessing. Ipswich will just come back in for him in the last few days of the window when we're desperate for some running costs money. They aren't daft.

Like i said, it's a very tentative link on twitter by a Cov fan, could be absolute nonsense. Doesn't have many followers but folk seem to believe what he has to say. Also linking Portsmouth to him too.

Suggesting it would be a loan too.

There's a very tentative source on twitter linking us to Brad Collins, Coventry keeper.

Can't see Hogan now after we have bought in the other two forwards and Weimann.

If we won't match the fee for De Lange, there's no chance we match whatever PSV want for Drommel.

There might be some truth to that, would tie in with the folk who said there was a verbal handshake agreement on a certain fee between Szmodics, his agent & Rovers. Would be very this regime to go back on that.

Eustace said today that he "hasn't trained with the group much" over the past couple of weeks.

It's really strange. Szmodics himself played for Peterborough a few days before coming here, and that was despite 2/3 weeks of negotiations beforehand with us. I personally think we're wrapping him in cotton wool and are scared stiff of any kind of injury happening, they know they will get a decent deal for him in this window at some point and an injury obviously scuppers that.

Eustace has today said to the media we need 5 players. GK, Full back, Midfield, 2 forwards who can play across the front line. And that they all have to make us better and not be here to "make up the numbers/for the sake of it". Good luck with that one!

Yeah that was another Nixon special.

I'm pretty certain this guy isn't going to happen.

As above, obvious this one was too good to be true.

I personally thought it was obvious that it would. After a crazy week I don't see any movement until the last week of the window now.

At the end of the day, barring a striker swap in Gally for Big Mak/Ohashi and a few mid 30's lads who won't be ready to play for a few weeks (Eustace's words) we still have pretty much the same squad that finished 19th last season. I will be amazed if we win on Friday.
