Although this Salech is signing in the oncoming days, I've seen Blackburn have bid 1.7M for Thomas Asante.
We should be trying for the likes of him instead of this unproven guy that plays in a dead league.

People like Ashley Barnes going on a FREE to Norwich aswell. It's just like :banghead:

Let's get a loan approach for Rabbi Matondo on the go too, he's got pace which we are crying out for. Yes he's in an Europa league team but besides that who's he playing... St Mirren, Killy?

He might aswell join our fight (which we can get out of sooner rather than later if the right players are brought in) and the likes of these players mentioned are the right type of players.

Clubs around us are making good proven acquisitions and I'm getting sick of it to be frank.

Blackburn are 5th in the league as it stands. We're 21st.

I don't know what makes you think he'd choose us over them.

I support the protest on Saturday and the board consistently get a lot wrong.

But this just feels like moaning for the sake of moaning.

Haven't even seen this new striker play, give him a chance.

Surprised anyone wants to join us if they take a look at fans who have never heard of them writing them off.


By the way, your facts are wrong. Barnes has gone to Burnley from Norwich and his goalscoring record over the last four seasons is awful.

Have you gone off the idea of Ferguson have you?

We aren’t in a position that Blackburn are. Why would he come to a team who are in a relegation scrap?

Other way around for Barnes then, granted mistake - I'm only human.
I hope this Salech comes and has an effect like Kaba did.
But some ambition from the board for some proven players is what everyone wants.
Blackburns position is a pull
But not everything, how much game time would Asante get as opposed to teams like us that are crying out for players like him

There is a very little pool of decent ready to go players that championship club can get ...... most players are lacking in match fitness as nor 1st team players? Why people think there's a shelf clubs can pick players from I'm not sure

He moves to us permanently and there's a chance he's in League One next season, doesn't have that risk with Blackburn.

If we signed Barnes, we'd all be saying he has a poor goalscoring record. Again, he's going to a much better team and somewhere he has a good relationship with the fans.

Proven players are hard to come by if you're battling relegation.

It's hard enough to find the right players in January when you're going for promotion.

People need to get real and see these are not realistic signings.

95% chance of bringing in a piece of crap.

We waste so much money on shite.
Ohh for some football people to run the club....
