Not his favoured position. Then again, that's par for the course here.

Unless Nyambe's days are numbered, I'm not sure why we'd bring in Sessegnon.

My missus thought I had 12", we all have little disappointments

He is right sided predominantly and we could do with a natural left sider.

I remember when we had Chimbonda at left back always cutting inside. Not ideal having someone on the wrong side.

If we are signing someone we may aswell get someone natural for the position.

She thought that about me too. It's her problem, not ours?

What a pleasant surprise this could be!

Rich Sharpe confirms Kipre links. Sticking to my guns that its an okay signing, doesn't seem to suit Mowbray's advertised mould at all, but much like Kaminski, I think this is a case of Rovers stumbling across a circumstanced bargain.

Would be a very good signing

Excellent news if it comes off and he's any good. 

[TruRover]

Wow! Really hope we pull this one off. Would be a bargain!

apparently it’s only for a 6 figure fee.

Apart from the comment about Derrick being a big asset for Rovers, he’s been nothing short of dreadful since he arrived.

Don't f*ck this one up Rovers............

Unfair. He's defended well, especially in his first season when he got POTY. He was good in L1 too. His passing is poor.

[roversfan99]

Wouldnt get carried away just yet mind you:

"However, while an agreement that works for both clubs is close, there is still work to be done on personal terms. And that could well stand in the way of any possible transfer as Rovers look to make their second summer signing."

And working on an alternative. So whilst Wigan seem desperate to sell I think there could be a decent change someone else will take him. Have to keep fingers crossed.

No he hasn’t, he’s been awful. The most useless full back I’ve seen play for Rovers, can’t defend, can’t attack, runs through treacle.

I must have imagined him getting POTY.

Mowbrays advertised mould doesnt keep the goals out. Seems like Kipre would be as good as we could possibly get on limited funds. Good age too.

You'd hope they wouldn't release journalism surrounding it if it weren't very close I'm sure. Otherwise it'd be very awkward.

Sessegnon's a right-back, isn't he? 

I know he's filled in at left before but that's not his natural position.

I'd always thought of him as a left back but you're right, transfer market has his main position as right back but also can play LB and CB.

Yes, must admit it jars seeing full backs playing on the wrong side.

Having said that, I seem to remember one game where it worked out quite well for Chimbonda! 

[blue_n_white99]

As a LB option, has anybody seen Brad Smith just released by Bournemouth:

What are Kipre's best attributes and worst attributes? Does he have pace?

Dont think him and Lenihan will lead to playing it out from the back so that might need a compromise.

He has everything.

Good at heading, good on the ball etc.
