Plymouth forum seems to think it might be happening also (at least seem to think he has left their camp)

Let's wait and see but the "ITK-ers" seem to love throwing crap around about us... The Plymouth fan literally states: - 

"A Blackburn fan has tweeted that his mate, who works at the Rovers training facility, has seen Cissoko today at the facility."

My dad has a cousin who has just moved into Brockhall Village and he told him that his new neighbour's brother's wife is a cleaner at The Avenue Hotel; she has just seen Luis Suárez having an early lunch with a couple of the Blackburn representatives. (Throwing humour at an FLW early window link 🤣).

Feck me, a couple of months away and the world of Rovers is still the same.

How depressing but not surprising.

Did you ever settle your wine debt?

Is cissoko still injured? Hopefully not, surely he comes straight into the starting 11 on Friday.

I must say if we get a fully fit cissoko then I will be very happy. 

His performance vs us earlier in the season was exactly what we've needed all season. A direct and quick left winger who hugged the line. Able to cause problems on the break and good 1 v 1. With the added bonus of some end product (on the day).

Question is though... is he fit. I've read mixed reports. And he hasn't played much since the end of October even if he isn't injured. 

Would be typical rovers, signing a player on short term loan for a playoff push who doesn't get put on the grass until April.

A reasonable end to the window for me now looks something like this;

LB - Harry Toffolo (Loan)
CM - Dan Barlaser (Perm - £750k?)
LW - Ibrahim Cissoko (Loan)
LW/ST - Augustus Kargbo (Perm - £1m)
ST - Marcus Forss (Perm - £2m?)

With the money we've brought in, that should be very achievable and not too far out of reach...

Just won't happen though, will it? We'll end up with way worse.

Really hoping for a positive end to the window, though I fully expect we'll be let down!

Who do you get rid of from our current squad. You’d need to free up 2 or 3 spaces by loaning out players. I wouldn’t be against a loan for Leonard but who else?

Maybe we’ll do something bonkers , similar to loaning Travis out last season .

[Emerald Isle Rover]

A fit Cissoko would be a fantastic bit of business but my concern would be that he must be or isn’t fit as he would walk not only into Plymouth team but quite a lot of there in the championship

Alternatively he may be aware of interest and isn’t currently being played either way his fitness would be a concern

great player though

He had a groin injury, but hasn't played much since returning to their squad, no clue if its because he isn't fully fit, or the new manager doesn't fancy him

2 spaces would need freeing up - we could drop Joe Hilton for a young academy keeper, not sure about the second but just feel like there'll be an outgoing that could accommodate it (Dolan or Sigurdsson maybe).

Leonard doesn't need to be registered due to his age (though i'd still loan him out regardless).

I think Thomas-Asante should be the one we are going for, if nothing else let’s get as many double barreled names in the team we can. 
 

Cozier-Durberry

O’Grady-Macken

Rankin-Costello

Murphy-Worrall

I just feel you need more to build a proper squad! 

Reminds me of the time someone told me Elliott Bennett was the first ever Rovers player to have four pairs of letters in their name…

Ideally Hilton drops out

sigurdsson moves on 

Leonard leaving doesn’t free up space unless replaced by someone under 21 who was paid for with a fee not a loan

Leonard wasn't 21 when the season started, so isn't part of the 25 man squad

Something to cheer us up at least, the return of Mercerman. Where have you been, fella ? The Board has missed your confident predictions of easy wins and your Ribble Valley wining and dining on the winnings 😊 Welcome back and now please announce Akor Adams……… 😂

This is classic. Reminds me of the old days of "my uncle works at Microsoft and he's going to ban your computer!"

The newest ITK account got sema wrong - saying we WILL snap him up advanced stages - to now sema going elsewhere and the account citing money - easy out these ITK accounts drain me

McFadzean knee injury after one game... hope he recover soon.

[neophox]

Even at 38 Suarez would walk in to our team.....natural goalscorer like Zlatan. But wont happen.

Ready for the new FLW post stating that talks are progressing because I made a tongue in cheek post on here...

[Emerald Isle Rover]

Cissoko names seems to be gathering momentum

boom or bust signing based on injury/fitness 

can’t see him being ready for Preston game 

[neophox]

Better sign Cissoko up if possible or do a deal loan to buy.....we need to be proactive.
