Can those who watch more of the under 21 team shed some light on Igor Tyjon? Keep seeing his name mentioned as the next top prospect. He doesn't seem prolific. Is he actually that good? What is his best position? I've read that we are offering a route to the first team, in the hope he signs a pro deal. I feel we definitely need another first team striker, do we go with this lad? Without knowing much about him, it seems like another situation where a youth player is holding the club to ransom a bit by not signing a pro deal (within his rights obviously). If we hild off signing another striker to give him that pathway, surely you would want the pro deal signing before the end of this window?

That would be funny. There's no way that Pickering is an Ismael type player so not surprised if he's off. I'd say league one is his level.

Is the guy grom Hull any better? Clearly wasn't first choice, will cost a fee and likely to be a similar wage to Batth anyway.

Scrabbling round trying to sign a champ centre back. Losing Batth looks more stupid by the day.

Yeah I know. Was more hoping for a natural right footer.

Now if these new links are anything to go by we are already deviating from the alleged remit. Neither defender is left footed, neither particularly tall or powerful. The right winger is a left footed right winger. Don't think we need one of those - as Hedges does that. Doesn't look strong or quick from his clips.

Not sure he's the answer at right back. If he's come through the ranks as a midfielder, he's more likely to end up the new JRC. I remember Travis being a right back for a while before going back into the middle.

Well, you'd assume simply from a pr point of view the club would want at least 1 decent signing in by the Everton game. The 'board' are looking the incompetents they are as it stands.

Another day of the exciting window ticks by without any excitement. People have even stopped making rumours now.

Surprised there's no new links today. There's usually a good one thrown in to deflect the negativity 😂. At least Ismael now admitted we will sell our captain/Tronstadt should an offer appear. Even the LET brigade are beginning to realise all is not well. There's nobody else to blame now the CEO has gone. Pasha/Gestede are going to have to nail a couple of decent signings soon as it's all on their heads.

Everyone we've signed so far this window.

Club have said they aren't replacing Batth.

Yes it is. I get your argument for keeping Hyam. He said, he'd rather Hyam go than the others. You are highlighting the positives of Hyam staying. What about the qualities of the other 3? Some may rate those more highly than Hyam. Ideally, we wouldn't be having the conversation in the first place because they would all have signed new deals. Personally, out of the 4, it would be a close call between the 2 midfielders for me.

Dolan situation is a strange one. He really is a hit and miss player. Good to have in the squad but he's never really been a 'game changer'. He must have had his head turned at some stage because he isn't Prem standard by any stretch. Really surprised we couldn't tie him to a new contract unless he's genuinely looking for big ££. That said, I thought he would have been snapped up by a Boro or Norwich. The fact he hasn't and Bristol seem the main Champ link, suggests nobody British based is willing to pay what he wants and a tribunal fee. Most likely destination will be a European team although I can't imagine it will be a particularly good one -given the Turkey/Greece links. German league would be a good move for him and probably suit his game.

No. He's saying that if one out of Travis, Tronstadt Brittain and Hyam were to stay, he'd rather it not be Hyam. Which one ine would you keep?

Anyone who went yesterday, what was DeNeve like? Is he genuinely quick, does he look like he could step up?

I'm a little perplexed. You agree that Venkys are useless. You agree the club is poorly run. You seemingly want the club to be back in the hands of someone who cares. Yet you seem to argue with anyone that expresses similar opinions and bemoan their negativity. The new signings are likely to be crap. Based on their previous playing history and fee. It's fair to think that. That said, Rovers fans will always give them a fair chance because they wear the blue and white. That will be at the ground though - not necessarily on an internet forum.

It should be relying on a competent board running the club properly. As the owners haven't managed to appoint said board and as they seemingly won't sell, then it is reliant on them. 100 percent they should cover wages - they are their employees The fact they are now choosing running to run it on a shoe string, doesn't justify a chunk of the highlighted £60 odd million not being reinvested and just being used to cover wages. Every road comes back to Venkys just being bad owners.

"We've got already the right back. We made the transfer. There is no rush. We are in a good position." I'd be pretty confident, given our lack of spending and pathway bollocks, that Montgomery and the new lad will be the right back options (with Carter as emergency) come the end of the window.

He also basically said that the lad we signed this week was Brittain's replacement.

The club shouldn't be relying on transfer fees to cover wages.

Where's Gueye? Is there another game somewhere 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyone know who the trialist is? Strange both Toth and Pears missing.

I've taught in a Blackburn primary school for about 20 years now. It is and predominantly has been, 99% Asian heritage. When I first started, Rovers were in the Prem. At that time I'd say around 25 percent of the lads were Rovers fans (Wore tops and several regularly attended games). Now there are none at all. It's all Liverpool, City, Man U. They occasionally go to the free games but they don't come away Rovers fans. Only way that changes is getting back into the Prem.

Dream window for venkys so far. 3 cheap players for peanuts. Linked with a few good players but unable to get the signings done. (shock). Baath/Weimann wages off the books. JRC out the door. His fee will cover the 3 signings. No contracts agreed with the main players and happy to accept offers. On a sidenote. The offer of £2.5mil for arguably the league's best right back ...shows how laughable the suggestion is that we paid £2million for the ex Leicester lad.
