Let’s hope his jabs are up to date ready for Saturday!

Does seem a strange one when presumably he's Glasgow based at the moment.

TBF Jackson addressed this in a recent podcast. He said that he had to tread more carefully than online national journos so that he can maintain a relationship with the club. He can’t just spew out transfer tittle tattle.

I suppose the dynamics have changed. All Rovers supporters would go to the LET and Peter White for their news as it was probably the only source of information. Now we live in a different era where anybody can reach anybody in an instant.

Why have we met him in London? Like everyone else, this deal is not done until it’s done.

Was scooby doo fooling us for shaggy or was he telling the truth re Las Palmas?

Might be the best place for (at least some of) the people who can make decisions to be based if we have a few coming in from abroad?  Like the Hungarian keeper etc?

Underrated part is getting him with 50+ hours still to go in the window.

You figure it strengthens the appeal of Rovers to a loaning EPL club when they see quality additions like Cantwell who Doak for example can line up next to.

Perhaps.

This is a really good point - remember TM saying many years ago how he wanted to sell good incoming players to prospective recruits…

There are two airports in the NW with Manchester taking flights from all over the world and there are shuttle flights from London to Manchester!

Cantwell signs 

Bit premature. He’s not even signed if he’s holding up a Rovers shirt.

[Rover1984]

Isn’t London where venkys holding company and financial team are based. Positive a family member was hired to Accounts manager based over here

Did anybody feel / see a change in Eustace’s body language / reaction to the transfer question in his post match interview last night? He looked more relaxed and confident…

London is London. If that's where the client/agent/player wants to meet, that's where you go.

Mowbray said that ? Why didn’t he do it then ?

So 'a large contract for championship standards' and 'taking a small cut in wages' suggests a base wage north of £20kpw, right?

I bet Nicko's source told him to add that line "Here's your exclusive, Alan, but please add a line that he'll be expensive so the fans get off our backs about not spending money. Talk to you tomorrow".

Re Cantwell:

Not sure how in the loop Myers is but …..

Bang on mate…

I have no idea when anyone would give a fuck, either way. There’s a million reasons why it could be London they met, none of them are any of our concern! It doesn’t matter..🤷🏽‍♂️🤣

You would think Cantwell would be signed only upon completion of a medical.  

@Scoobydoposted he was meeting Waggott and Wright this afternoon so hardly think a medical has been done and dusted so quickly.

Could be the new Bradley Dack, could be the new 2nd time around of David Bentley. It’s up to him now.

 Nixon- Hungarian keeper incoming

Perhaps Cantwell thinks Blackburn is a London suburb.

He'll be sure to be disappointed when he learns Cavendish/Peppermint Place and Manhattan Heights are no longer standing!

Myers is usually a bit behind most I’ve noticed, unless it’s Everton of course.

Think he’d rather know 100% before commenting.

[ROVER_N_OUT1978]

Keeper incoming according to Nicko 🇭🇺

It takes the Dembele deal off the table I reckon.

Unless we can get him on a loan to buy?
