And he hasn't played in 3 months

Rovers or Rangers/Celtic? I wonder who he might choose? Also, the linked story claims he may cost up to £5M, so it would be like Cleary all over again "Glaswegian rivals Rangers have also been monitoring Maswanhise, but Celtic are in pole position - and it would cost around £5million to lure him from Jens Berthel Askou."

I suggested his name based on his agent, and the fact that I thought he was crap enough to just about be an achievable target. Think we have been linked a few times in the past and Rovers do like to revisit old targets "Like Zlatan", may be pushing it, he has one goal this season, & that was in August. Makes Ohashi look like Haaland by comparison But it seems we don't even have enough of a budget for a signing of that "calibre"

could be 2030 if they trigger his option, he may find his level when we are in League 2 by that time

Not sure that Gudjohnsen can play the lone striker in Ismael's system, so I hope not. Think he would struggle without Ohashi's work rate alongside him

I think he was always one for the future for San Diego, and as long as they triggered the option to keep him on loan until June, I think it was likely they will also trigger the permanent option

I think its a forgone conclusion, and always has been, despite Rovers attempts to make it appear otherwise

Barrow was a decent loan for Duru last year. Prior to his injury, he was a regular starter for them. Obviously different manager now, but Powell now is a similar standard, if not a little better to how Duru was then, so will hopefully work out well for him too (hopefully without the injury)

Former Rover Paul Gallagher is also their manager these days https://www.barrowafc.com/news/2026/january/02/paul-gallagher-appointed-head-coach/

that is a genuinely shocking signing. Looks scary when running with the ball, but a goals/assist rate to rival Sam Gallagher

"At present, no further details have been revealed as to what the breach entails. Blackburn Rovers and Macron have been approached by Lancashire Telegraph for comment." https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25808819.blackburn-rovers-legal-dispute-kit-supplier-macron/ Macron have registered a court filing against Blackburn Rovers for a breach of contract. The Italian Sportswear giant are the club's current kit manufacturer and have been since a five-year deal was struck in 2021. That deal expires this summer and Rovers are anticipated to change suppliers when their current agreement ends. On January 28, Macron filed a court application against Blackburn Rovers due to a 'breach of contract', as is listed by a document seen by Lancashire Telegraph. It has long been expected that the two parties will separate this summer. However, nothing has been officially confirmed by Rovers or Macron at this stage. At the most recent Fans' Forum (October 2025), Head of Commercial, Yasir Sufi, confirmed that a tender process beyond the end of their current kit deal has been completed but wouldn't discuss further due to the existing deal with Macron. Additional comments were made that fans' views on original designs and pricing had been taken into account with their decision. At present, no further details have been revealed as to what the breach entails. Blackburn Rovers and Macron have been approached by Lancashire Telegraph for comment. Rovers' recent anniversary kits have proven popular. The 2024/25 shirts, mark 30 years since their famous Premier League title triumph, surpassing all recent sales. Speaking to Lancashire Telegraph's Arte Et Labore podcast last April, Sufi said: "Retail-wise, we've nearly doubled sales in retail from three seasons ago across the board. "Obviously, the kits have been a massive reason for that, especially with, for example, the third kit. "So just on the third kit this year, and honestly, I still get astounded by the number of people wearing it. We sold around 2,400 of the yellow third kit that we had (2023/24), which was really good, but we've tripled sales of the third kit this season on its own. "We've got a fantastic team who care a lot about the football club and want to see it progressing. So commercially, we've been strong in that area."
