Blackburn boss Michael Appleton is
confident he can complete loan deals
for QPR striker DJ Campbell and West
Bromwich Albion winger Jerome
Thomas.
.
Rovers were close to signing the pair
permanently on Thursday.
But they were unable to finalise their
moves to the Championship club
before the 23:00 GMT deadline.
.
"I don't see that they're completely
dead by any stretch. I'm confident
we can eventually get them in,"
Appleton told BBC Radio
Lancashire.
.
"The fact we've been able to attract
these players gives me a lot of hope.
Time just gave up on us in the end. I
think we did get there, but the clock
just beat us to it.
.
"I spoke to them
late on Thursday
night and they
made me feel
very confident
that something
still would be
done.
