You can mention Blackburn Rovers almost anywhere in the world and people know it; in America, Europe and across the Far East.

I’ve been surprised with how many of the locals out here in Thailand know of Blackburn Rovers, our long history of success, and our recent demise. Unanimous in wanting us back in the top flight… although may just be try to milk tips out of me 😅

There was a dingle sat at breakfast in one of our hotels and I couldn’t even bring myself to give him some grief. Need these leeches out of the club for good - whether going up or down to L2 is the catalyst - don’t mind. Just want some ambition and respect from the owners of the club.

So I presume Cissoko & Youan both won't be happening...2 players who we both know are championship standard...Eustace will be chuffed! 

Kargbo can also play as a striker so we may still need Cissoko as well. Fingers crossed.

If Kargbo does sign it’s insane how long it’s taken to get it over the line.

It’s like we think deadline day is the target not the last chance!

Jackson confirms that he only posts when it's a certainty 

He also said that the media were talking to Eustace at 12.30, nothnig has come out of that an hour later, which seems a little strange.

Reads to me like Rovers leaked Cissoko being the second option as a “take it or leave it” to Kargbo’s team. 

[MarkBRFC]

Yeah Cissoko and the Hibs winger won't be be happening if we get Kargbo.

Some non descript striker will be next on loan.

Shame i'd have loved us to get that Cissoko!

To be fair, the lad at Hibs looked pretty handy as well in the 2 minute compilation video I saw of him... 😅

It wouldn’t surprise me, but after he tore us apart at home park I would love cissoko as well. Two fast wingers would be very welcome indeed.

Exactly this. 

It'll be loan scraps from the Prem for the striker which they'll expect to be last minute as Prem teams work out who they can afford to get rid of.

Think we have 2 coming in unless Suhail pulls the plug

Guessing thats from Radio Lancashire. Eustace quoted saying hes heard a couple are close.

Yep and I'd narrow it down further from 'Prem' to 'Villa/Brighton/Liverpool/Everton/City' as very much doubt we will be after anyone from any other club

One is obviously Kargbo, who's the other I wonder?

In time for PNE game? What positions please?

Cheers, I'm actually disappointed because no way he is worth £1mil, I thought €800k was fair but we have become desperate 

Afternoon Steve!

Eustace has confirmed no new signings will be done in time for PNE....Standard.

[roversfan99]

Clearly not his selection.

Imagine getting all three and shipping Dolan out.

The dream.

[JHRover]

Kargbo clearly got nothing to do with Eustace and another 'project' signing pushed by persons unknown. 

Yawn.

Think we're past the deadline for that

Yeah, short of these two players hitting the ground running and being absolutely sensational we've blown our chance at the Playoffs this year. Again.

[unleaded]

Cissoko Won’t be happening …. Kargbo set to fly in ….Still hoping Hibs lad will come in personally…. He can play across the forward line & is an upgrade on Dolan & Hedges who have 3 goals between them all season ….

Don’t know why people are concerned. I can’t wait for the third instalment of ‘deadline day fiasco’. They excelled themselves last year so excited to see what they might bring to the table this time round. No inside info but had a few thoughts:

- Club unveil a striker only to later realise it’s an egg and cress sandwich with a smiley face drawn on.

- Waggott personally attempts to submit the player registration forms off but ends up accidentally uploading several scanned photocopies of his arse to the club’s Twitter feed.

- After being sent out to re-stock Steve’s pork pie mini-fridge, Rudy inexplicably sells Callum Brittain to a local newsagent. Venky’s are impressed by the level of incompetence. Suhail fears for his job.

Genuinely looking forward to it. Got a day off work to binge read the online reaction afterwards.
