Transfer Window Chat Thread

[67splitscreen]

The problem is Splitscreen, would thay tell us the truth or lie again?

They could either way, the question is would we believe what they say? that is the sorry state now, even with the best intentions and actions in the world now, bringing the majority of the support back on side could be impossible, minds are a closed book in some cases.

Went to a wedding yesterday so missed all the doom and gloom.

I'm absolutely gutted. I was thinking get these two lads in - "ibisevic and John" which i thought to be honest were nearly done. Then sack Kean on thursday.

I don't know whose getting involved but we desperately need numbers in or we'll get exposed if we get anymore injuries. I guess we're already being exposed but we'll defo be on the other end of a good hiding if we stick with the current options and get injuries.

We need to get a versatile defender and We've all identified Onouha. Good player that would do well for us.

I would definately take Jones back on loan. Would give us options in midfield.

We are desperate for a striker - Roberts is clearly useless. I feel we need 2 but it seems 1 will be our limit. For us to find out our number 1 target, is having red tape issues this late in the window - shows incompetence - the whole world could see we needed a striker in May - to leave it this late is bad enough but to find out that our main target may have visa issues is the reason everyone is laughing at us. If there is an issue and it will take too long get the other strikers in now. Im not sure about el hamdaoui will do it. I'd take diouf back on loan but we need a main striker - go and get Cisse - this will get the fans back onside.

Another thing of interest - Newcastle appointed Pardew - did anyone think he would do well? Proper manager with experience - 7 points from 9 and would expect them to be top 9 this year. Take note board get a proper manager.

another bizzare tranfer collapse(george john), similarities to the pavone collapse!

i was really liking the look of this player aswell(unlike pavone), seemed like a good deal all around, what the frigs goin on, theres no signs of any other player/s coming in and theres only 2 days left to go and i cant see blackburn making any last minute signings on transfer day because it seems to take them an average of 2 weeks to seal a deal.

I've said all summer that we can need to judge Venkys after the transfer window shuts, I've defended them for so long to my friends but I don't think I can hold out the last few days.

If no signings come in then it's time to do something about it. We are being constantly fed lie after lie.

Prove us wrong Venkys and pull something out of the bag in these last few days.

[callumrovers]

I was one of the many posters who was willing to give Steve Kean and Venkys a chance. I am now starting to think i was worng.

It is obvious that he has little knowledge of tatics, and 3 loses in the opening 3 games is totally unacceptable. Venkys have put themselves in a situation with very little room to maneuver. They cant sack Kean now because im pretty sure the compo they would have to pay Steve Kean would wipe out all of our transfer budget for incoming players that we deperatley need. The only option they are left with is hope for the love of god something drasticaly changes, and the team starts picking up points because at this rate we WILL be relegated.

We need to get rid of the snake Jerome Anderson, He is bad blood. I wish they would see what the fans wanted.Us the members of BRFCS could probably run this club better at the moment.

If Steve Kean doesn't pick up 4 points in the next two games he needs to go, but the reality is he will probably be given an extended run of games and by the time Venkys get their act together (If they ever do) it will be to late and we will be cut off from the rest of the teams.

Come 31st of August and we still have not signed the striker and defender we desperatley need, i can not see him turning this around.

We all need to get to Ewood park and back the 11 players on that field, if we dont try and do something, the club we all love will fall down around us.

Your Club Needs You!

Ditto.

[Guest TheArtistFormallyKnownAsJB]

Can someone explain to me why we aren't signing George John?

To me it just looks like they couldn't be bothered. I'm already extremely worried about whats going to happen this season, and after Arsenal got smashed yesterday, I see Chris going to North London.

If Venkys don't put there money where their mouths are, I will be one of the first to stand up and try to make a difference.

Hope you have weddings for a whole season

Know a few other clubs are in the same boat but I don't feel comfortable that we are at the end of the transfer window and still not conducted our main business yet.

[BigNuts]

Know nicko not the most popular with some but he has just tweeted about a fabulous striker opportunity.

@

@sambarker77 A great deal of panic. Ibi trying. No centre half as yet. But a fabulous striker possibility. Can't say any more now

Thanks for letting us know. Can't say that Venky's have had a great record so far of snapping up 'opportunities', but fingers crossed all the same.

[Nelsta]

Raul please.

[pick32]

Venky's and Kean must be aware by now about the things being talked about on this message board over the last couple of days, one solution would be to just paper over the cracks with a few good signings and try and get the fans back on board would this work?

I think the majority of fans who haven't yet realised what is actually going on behind the scenes would get back behind Venky's, but it would only be a short term fix which could maybe by them some time to sort the club out.

I very much doubt that they went through all the trouble of getting him to the UK and then just 'couldn't be bothered'. Maybe he didn't impress during a test or two or perhaps his wage demands were unrealistic.

[chaddyrovers]

a guy on twitter is saying that Mark Hughes might be coming back to rovers and that is why the John and Ibisevic deals were pull yesterday.

https://twitter.com/#!/Bigdog3939/

I don't know whether this is true but I thought I would post this.

[neophox]

Peter Crouch would be a terrific signing...go for him! We need his experience with the young pacy guys upfront.

[mjwood00]

One thing you would say about Hughes is that he is well used to mischief making agents, what with Kia around.

I think that he is saying the deals for John and ibi have been scrapped as Hughes is going to be new manager and we are going after his targets instead...... Am I dreaming?

[Hekla]

Benayoun anyone? He is leaving Chelsea and is in negotiations with clubs.

[LeChuck]

Another small attacking midfielder is the last thing we need! We've already got four (Hoilett, Formica, Vuckevic, Rochina).

Plus his wages will be high, Chelsea don't pay modestly.

As much as i want to believe i just cant.

Apparently(according to that guy on twitter) Venkys pulled the plug on deals on sunday.They are now working on deals that hughes want, but hughes cant sign untill after the 31st.

If it happens great, but i just cant see it.The amount of rumours and speculation we've had all summer.

Yes, you are correct.

Hopefully we can sign Jermaine, Onuoha and a striker and we can be happy for a change!
