Seeing as we are supposed to have signed this guy, who I read now, was interesting Portsmouth, I found a video of him in action and his goals for Celta Vigo last season:

Today is supposed to be D-Day in the signing of Di Santo on a season long loan from Chelsea, if he doesn’t arrive at Ewood today, it will be off. So has anyone seen the Argentine around the club or even on the M6 on his way?

This deal has always been on the [...]

As Blackburn kicked off against Leeds in their friendly game today, it became apparent that manager Sam Allardyce was not at the game.
This is good news for Rovers fans as it means Big Sam is taking a serious look at a player or players before putting in a bid in.
We know that his self confessed [...]

Keith Treacy has joined Sheffield United on loan until the January transfer window, with the idea being he can get some first team action, to improve himself and be ready to play Premier Leauge football in 2010.
I don’t see him playing in the Premier League again though, I don’t think he is quite up to [...]

I should think half of the Ewood faithful are happy about this, the other half not so, as Keith Andrews signed a new four year deal at the club today.

Andrews splits Rovers fans down the middle, many thinking he isn’t good enough for the Premier League and a painful reminder of Paul Ince’s tenure at [...]

Rovers completed the recent tournament, this weekend, with two games which lasted 45 minutes each, back to back.

Blackburn vs AS Roma Line-up
In the first half Rovers lined up: Brown, Jacobsen, Samba, Givet, Warnock, Grella, Nzonzi, Andrews, Gallagher, Roberts, Diouf. Whilst the second half saw most players replaced to become: Brown, [...]

Rovers had a comfortable first pre-season run out against Cambridge United on Tuesday night, but it was more about fitness than the result. Big Sam elected to give no players more than 45 minutes in the game, which meant Rovers had used all of their outfield substitutes when Keith Treacy was injured with ten minutes [...]

Firstly, thank Lord Aaron Mokoena has gone to Portsmouth! This was the best news I had heard in weeks. He is the most useless uninspiring player I have ever had the misfortune to watch. Sure he can tackle but what else did he ever do.
Then we learnt that Andre Ooijer was leaving. This isn’t that [...]

Sorry for the long exit lads but i am back now and will be continuing to write here each and every week about out beloved Rovers.
