Blackburn transfer update.Blackburn spent alot of money in this transfer market, but also they lost 2 key players, being Chris Samba who joined West Brom for 8 million pounds, and Gail Givet who joined Manchester city for 8.75 million pounds. Blackburn also lost Jason Roberts to Stoke.
But, Blackburn did bring a few players into the squad. The Venky's entrusted Spanish manager Andre Callejon with a 16.5 million pound budget to start with, and with that he signed Sedar Tasci, a German player who played for Stuttgart. Sedar joined Rovers for 12.5 million. Then, another defensive enforcement was brought in to cover for the departures of Samba and Givet, that being Barca youngster Bartra, who has Barca DNA yet does not have a buyback clause, or sell on fee percentage, hm...
Now onto the midfield, where the brought in Real Madrid's Fernando Gago, at a very small price, Niko Kranjcar on a 525k loan fee with the option to buy at any time for 4.4 million and Charlie Adam also joined Blackburns midfield ranks.
Strikers. With Blackburn looking to adopt the 4-5-1 formation this year it looked like no body in this department would join. But in came Daniel Pacheco, the Spain U21 international joined on a season long loan. Although another striker could of joined the ranks here, because Blackburn had completed a 1.9 million pound move for Takayuki Moritmo from Catania only to find his work permit application denied.
Also, it looks like Benjani could leave with several party's interested.
