🇩🇰 It's a thread I've been waiting to make for a long time but now with the arrival of Jon Dahl Tomasson the fun can finally begin!
So with the Nordic revolution on its way to Lancashire who could @Rovers sign under Danish control?
Thread below 1/10 #Rovers
The first thing to consider is how much money do Blackburn have? I think most fans would be able to answer that question with "Not much" so we have to be realistic.
That being said, in this market, Nordic players can be nabbed cheep. I mean look at that Norwegian las at City!
1. Erik Botheim (ST) - 22🇳🇴
Honestly, unrealistic in my eyes. But Rovers will need another striker.
However. Botheim at the end of this month Botheim will be without a club and Rovers new director of football knows Botheim very well from his time in Bodo/Glimt.
2. Isaac Kiese Thelin (ST) - 29 🇸🇪
He's signed him once, maybe again?
When JDT first joined Malmo one of the first players he got was Isaac Thelin. Who under his reign scored 14 goals in 25 games.
Who better than a face you know?
3. Felix Beijmo (RWB) - 24 🇸🇪
Another player brought to Malmo by JDT. The young right back played a major role in JDT set up at the club. Rovers could be desperate for a RB if contracts go wrong and again, he's a player the new gaffer knows well.
4. Sam Larsson (LW) - 29 🇸🇪
Sam is a brilliant player who has been without a club after leaving China back in April. JDT would have been aware of the winger when their paths crossed in the Netherlands.
But the attack has a great scoring record and could add some flair.
5. Martin Olsson (LB) - 34 🇸🇪
No. No. Put the pitchforks down! This is not a joke. Big IF, but is Martin Olsson dived back to Rovers it would be a reserve no doubt. But JDT likes him.
He spent £500k on him in Malmo and why not spend his swansong back at his first club?
6. Jonas Knudsen (CB) - 29 🇩🇰
The Danish international CB, formerly of Ipswich, was a main stay under JDT at Malmo. Rovers are in need of defenders and a player with European experience and played every league match under JDT in his first season could be a perfect fit!
7. Ola Solbakken (RW) - 23 🇳🇴
After the appointment of Gregg Broughton as the director of Football you'd imagine he'd give his input into some of his favourite players. The young, Norwegian winger could be one.
Very talented, heaps of experience and relatively cheap...
I also would not be surprised to see some loans made from the likes of Brentford who have got Nordic scouting to a tee.
Obviously he won't only sign Nordic players but...that's not what we're about.
Who do you think could join?
