2011/2012 Barclay's Premiership Predictions: Blackburn

Transfers In: Anderson (Aberdeen, free), Goodwillie (Dundee United, £3.2M), Petrovic (Partizan Belgrade, £3M), Pavone (Betis, free)
Overview: Blackburn's new owners need to face the facts of life. They believe that Blackburn could reach the Champions League, but for me that is not going to happen for a long time. Goodwillie should be decent signing up front for Blackburn but apart from that nothing has changed from last season. Finished third in the Barclay's Asia Trophy and I feel this season won't be much better than last, especially if they can't hold onto Samba.
Euro 2012/Stars of the Future: Blackburn don't possess any Euro 2012 candidates but Nick Blackman looked good in Asia as did Mauro Formica. Hoillet and N'Zonzi will look to push into the Canadian and French senior sides.
One's To Watch: If they get the chances, Hoillet, N'Zonzi and Formica will be good to watch.
Prediction: They could be involved in another relegation battle but may end up finishing about fifteenth.
