micheledipiedi 8 Posted July 21, 2015 Are we in for Gestede as well as Rhodes!? The Mail certainly seem to think so: "Blackburn are struggling for strikers with injuries to Rudy Gestede and Jordan Rhodes while both are also subject to interest from Middlesbrough, Sheffield Wednesday and Norwich." They're also linking with us Fouad Chafik, who plays in the French Second Divison. I've never heard of him personally. Seems a bit odd we'd been in for another defender to me. "Sheffield Wednesday have made enquiries about Stade Laval defender Fouad Chafik. The 28-year-old right-back has also been linked with Montpellier, Nantes and Lorient" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gorny 33 Posted July 21, 2015 Gestede is a decent player but not sure the article is saying that; perhaps it's just a badly-worded way of saying there is interest in both (i.e. Norwich want him?). As for the French defender, don't believe that either. Perhaps we enquired about him while we were signing defenders and story only just broke? (His agent / club linking him to us in order to attract bids from other clubs?!) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the_mutha 270 Posted July 21, 2015 That chafik story has to be gonads. We're not going to buy another right back. Just agent making up Shiite to try and manufacture some interest in his player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuncOwl 254 Posted July 21, 2015 Been with a Blackburn fan today who said that Rhodes is a far superior player to Gestede, but would question his ambition if he was to come to us and not a PL team. Can't argue with that. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ash76 314 Posted July 21, 2015 Please get Gestede here, an absolute beast. We've needed a new beast of Benin since Reda left, get him paired up with Andre Gray 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bluesteel 13,882 Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Gestede fits the bill as a central striker, get the impression his agent wants to force a move to the premier league though Edited July 21, 2015 by Bluesteel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wilyfox 16,705 Posted July 21, 2015 Gestede would suit our needs more so than Rhodes, in my opinion. Doubt we can afford or attract either. The right-back's gotta be BS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tudders 1,747 Posted July 21, 2015 Gestede would be a great signing. A cheeky bid? It'd be Rudy not to! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
