Dilan Markanday

[Berin]

If Markanday is the player that RW alluded to in his interview, then Blackburn are probably waiting on their new signing (Augustus Kargbo) to be formalised before they release Markanday on loan.

[PKM]

If it is a further loan, we really need to make one of the existing loans permanent, assuming Currie does not get recalled
Otherwise a further loan is of limited use

[Adz]

How does a loan work if we have 5 first team loanees?

My guess would be markanday and Perkins alternate in matchday squads

[Hoover Attack]

It's far from ideal but if that's where we're at, so be it - there will be injuries/suspensions/resting needed for all of Kelman and Donley, not just Perkins. The 4 of them will fill 3 of the spots (Keeley and Currie being guaranteeds, if available).

[PKM]

The thing is if we do go up to 6 loans with Markanday then any forward we bring in absolutely has to be on a permanent
RW has said that’s a tough ask, as it’s mainly loans available.
Hear what you are saying re 3 from 4, that’s what it would have to be. Not much other choice but far from ideal. Being able to bring someone like Kelman on for last 20 mins could be massive, or any of the other loans come to that.

That's ok but how many loan players do we have if he signs and we need another forward as well but nor a loanee we have enough money though this cup run to buy one will we tho

If this were the case, you'd expect rumours everywhere about it, backed by photos etc...

[Long slender neck]

I bet some kid from Blackburn was absolutely mobbed for his autograph.

But you can only have a max of 5 in your match day squad so who ever drops out cannot be named on the bench

The problem with this club ling or whoever doesn't like spending money they all like loans use the money from the cup run

[Top of the JES]

Now signed on loan until the end of the season.

O's are trying to sign an out and out striker before Saturday, Money is available but this window is always difficult.

Rumour that we are trying to sign Perkins on a permanent deal to avoid the too many loanees issue.

[Mistadobalina]

Not sure how this will work with the loan rules so a bit of an odd one unless we make one of those permanent in the next two days, but sounds like the guy has been smashing it in League 2 so should be a good signing in a position we desperately needed someone.

[KingLes]

Just signed according to sky sports news season loan

That would solve the issue about loanees playing. Good signing today. Is he cup-tied

Well, whatdya know, fb post was 100% bang on

Markanday was present at Tuesday's fixture versus Derby County at Gaughan Group Stadium, and stated: "I'm absolutely delighted to have joined the club. I've had some real positive conversations with the gaffer and Martin Ling, and it's a club that is in a really good place at the moment.

[PKM]

Be great if we can sign Perkins & not to have to leave one loan out of the match day squad

[Bergen]

Excellent news. Welcome Dilan.
