All this discussion about whether continental players are worth persuing, is assuming the people running our club, give a damn about Blackburn Rovers. Personally I don't think they give a shit about our club.
For me I would try to fill that place with someone of quality, who challanges for the first team slot. Not someone who happens to be cheap. And I will add that I haven't a clue who that someone may be. It could even be Okoroji.
I don't see any reason why not. It would be a contract between us and the buying club. We would have to just honour the contact between us and Newcastle.
