Will lankshear would have been a good loan signing but he's gone to West Brom.  Mowbray doing deals straight away whilst rovers dragging their heels all month

From Egyptian sources, the former Galatasaray player would have received several concrete offers. Last in Serie A, Monza would be one of them. Just like Leganes in Spain & Blackburn Rovers in the Championship…. On the other hand, while some rumors evoke the possibility of a return of Mostafa Mohamed to his country of origin in Al Ahly or Zamalek, this is not the case. FC Nantes are looking for his replacement and will decide where the player transfers to ….. FC Nantes will not agree to his departure if a new striker is not brought in…..

If that’s the competition then we stand a good chance…. 

What a signing this would be !! 

Hibs Expecting Rovers to return with a new Bid for Elie Youan ….Unlucky for them their are only 3 days left as snails 🐌 move faster ….

Cissoko came & went back to France ….. 

 

 

 

Was about to reply to this saying we've not a chance if Lazio etc are involved, but then saw it was unleaded. 

 

In that case, silly season has finally begun - too late in my view after dropping so many points.  If we want to stand a chance of playoffs, whoever comes in needs to hit the ground running

Kargo doesn't seem like he has a step over in him. Looks like a player to lump it round the full back and leg it 😂. 

That’s what we need, a modern day ‘Windy’ Miller.

Cissoko back to parent club but came to Ewood for talks ? Too cold for him or we wouldn’t find the coin ?

Would love it to be true but he's apparently on around £30,000 a week and if Nantes are only looking for a sale, would probably be around £4m ?

I know we (supposedly) had that bid in for another striker of around that but find that hard to believe.

Push the boat out Rovers for once 

[unleaded]

Siggy refusing all deals from the looks of it … Most of Scandinavia & Greek clubs want him but looks like Rovers will have to sweeten his leaving package or else he will hang around which is not ideal …. Would free up big big wages …..
 

 

 

[TommyRovers]

Mohamed would be huge despite him being a fairly controversial character. 
 

We’re heading for another January deadline day sweat I think.

Amazed an MLS club isn't in for him, you'd think he'd fancy a stateside visit too

[Lancaster Rover]

Siggy is obviously playing the game, as a rovers fan it’s annoying but putting that to one side fair play to him in some respects. Clubs are quick to sign players on long deals which means once they’re surplus you’ve got to swallow the expense. He’ll be wanting to be paid up or he’ll wait until summer when he gets a fat signing fee as a free agent.

 

Most of us thought it was a real coup when we signed him but the warning signs were there when he was instantly injured for 4 months! In hindsight a really poor piece of business

He is playing the game to some degree but presumably he wants to play in europe, and you'd think any scout would ask why Ryan Hedges is keeping him out the team before giving him 20k a week and European football

just get shut of him,he`s not been a great success,though in his defence,i don`t think he`s been played in his best position,id`e have liked to see him more central

We aren't getting mentioned much in the French press when it comes to Mohamed leaving Nantes. The big stumbling block appears to be that they want a transfer, but most clubs interested in him just want a loan. That's seemingly a no-go for Nantes - and would also make it unlikely that he finds his way over here. 

Latest reports (from the last 24 hours or so) have indicated that Nantes may have decided that they're happy to keep him. The concern with him is his mindset. He doesn't feel wanted at Nantes and so wants to leave, but if they decide that they want to keep him and convince him that he is a central part in their plans then he may be happy to stay. 

No doubting his talent. He'd be the best goalscorer we would have had since Rhodes.

I think he’ll still be held in fairly high regard and considered a marquee signing in some leagues based on his champions league performances prior to joining Rovers

I've no idea, I thought I read it in unleaded post.  Looking back it's Monza.  Having been to Monza, it's one of the few places in Italy I'd says is worse than Blackburn

Lemon drizzle still clearly has fantastic contacts in the game.

I can understand his position, he will be wanting Rovers to make him an offer but I think he will be keen on a Greek move, believe he loves the sunshine.

I think he is a good player, better than a lot we have but his time has been blighted by injury, lack of heart, pace & effort. He should be guaranteed pick talent wise but he just isn’t prepared to put the work in.

I feel for Harry if his back has gone again. Another long period out.

Got a lot of potential but just hampered with bad injuries.

If he's done his back again he's a write off at this point. Back injuries never go away.

Fair play to a guy that has his own suite in the Grella Physio Room?

He's clearly taking the piss at this point. It's one thing signing a long contract and being frozen out. It's another thing entirely when your groin is made of tissue paper and you're never fit. Have some pride, Sigurdsson.

It's funny isn't it?

I've been around the world and there's very few places nicer than the Ribble Valley in my opinion.
