If they don’t read papers or have social media very likely yes 

Why what would the local paper tell them re what was going on behind the scenes? Not a lot over what is on the record, what was said in the last presser/press release.

Not going to be able to afford him... he has played in Champions League and played in a Top League in Scotland, that adds £5m+ to the transfer fee if some are to be believed on here 😂

Over the years there has been plenty of articles on the local paper re venkys/lack of funding/court case etc

Last minute incomings? what could possibly go wrong with that?…

‘Over the years’, yes when we had a vibrant local media. Now? We get nothing that isn’t in the public domain. If you are a fan that doesn’t use social media/forums (which is a sizeable number) you will know very little about the power struggles/Swag/Suhail and all the rest of it. The CEO himself was a virtual unkown until a couple of years ago, the actual power holder in the club still is.

I actually don't care what happens between now and the end of the transfer window..for me, bring on the games, and whatever the result, so be it.. I'm too tired for all of this Wankys and Maggot shit.

Translates as... We've inquired about the players we want, they're currently too expensive and we're waiting until they get desperate for them to lower their valuations.

 

Confident we won't spend more than 2 million, in fact i wouldn't be at all surprised to see both Drommel and Matonda on "loan to buy's"... Germain for a few 100k and that's your lot. 

[chaddyrovers]

From what is being reported Its seems like we are getting what players will cost, transfer fees, wages, etc. Then decide who we want. 

Out of the wingers/attacking players we have been linked to, my choices would be Poku from Peterborough or Matondo from Rangers. 

I think the keeper we sign will be PSV keeper Joel Drommel on loan to obligation to buy next summer. 

Just need a left back and centre midfielder in. I also think we will get another attacking player in.

We should have long since worked this out.

It doesn’t need to be specific. My original point was that Eustace if he did his research before taking the job could have easily found out. Again JDT said it in multiple press conferences that’s my point

What reliable source linked us with poku?

I would say there’s a shed load of fans out there that know feck all about the machinations behind the scenes.

They just traipse down to Ewood every other week to watch a team in blue and white and don’t really give it much thought again until the next time they do said traipsing.

I think many think that a lot is much worse than it is and they have never been involved in running a football club, management or board anywhere 

[Mattyblue]

I’m sure Eustace knew all too well, but obviously fancied a well paid Championship job where you get to get your feet under the table.

I’m saying there are a shed load down at Ewood that couldn’t care less about the off field stuff, hard to believe for folk like us on here that live and breathe it, but it’s how it is with many a football fan.

Mate, these f*ckers have turned us into Oliver Twist... Ragged gloves, counting our pennies, going to clubs cap in hand with what ever bits of scrap we have and are being told to "f*ck off"... We're at the bottom of the food chain, waiting for wealthier clubs to cast off their unwanted scraps. Eustace pretty much paints that picture for me.

Considering how much money has come in, it shouldn't be this way... 

Hate those bastards.

Vale going out on loan to. The squad real is down to the barest it's been for a long time as far as senior players go

I've never understood the "I'd sign him but not at that price, or wages" point of view,as if we've all to chip in every week. 

If there's one club right now which isn't going stretch itself, it's Blackburn Rovers,honestly, don't worry yourselves over it.

Certainly won't be an obligation, it would be an "option" if anything that we won't/have no intention of taking up.

Setting yourself up for disappointment here I think.

[TheRevAshton]

There isn't a single reason as to why things should have to go "to the wire"... it's a choice.

Deals are there to be done right now.

After O'Brien and Maguire I'd be amazed if anyone is willing to let us have a loan to buy type agreement anyway.

You said we wouldn't sign Gueye and we did. 

 

[chaddyrovers]

 

A goalkeeper, full-back, midfielder and wide attacker remain on the shopping list. 

Both Germain and Matondo have been identified as potential solutions on the left-hand side. A deal has been agreed in principle for the former but Rovers are weighing up whether to give it the green light.

"I think they are on the list along with 60 other players that the recruitment team have been looking at. They are, yes," Eustace told The Lancashire Telegraph.

"There is nothing imminent. I wouldn't expect anything before the weekend," Eustace added.

Read, listen, watch, learn.
