WE asked Blackburn Rovers fans for their reaction to Tom Cairney’s move to Fulham.

Here are some of their comments on Twitter.

Step sideways.. Good profit for Rovers though. @Eddwaaard

The only decent midfield player we had. It wouldn’t be as bad if we could replace him. But how can we do that under embargo. @maccy1986

Gutted. Slightly concerned about the season ahead, as I think more departures will come. @Andyc1990

Shame to lose him as he did have skill, but a flair player not being used right. Good profit! John O’Sullivan can step up. @maldarko

Rovers are giving up on going up this year, will struggle this year, could be fighting to stay up. @smithyrov

Selling our most creative midfield player..yup..cracking decision by #rovers that’s us not going up then! @AndyCookSignal1

Played 45 games last season and we never went up. No big loss in my eyes. @lodgie30

£3m that’s absolute peanuts for a player of his quality in the modern era. @mikebrownmusic

Thin end of a wedge that ends with us in League One at the end of next season. @ianherbert

Gutted, only makes our squad weaker, Rovers’ most creative player, concerned that Rhodes, Gestede and Marshall will leave. @DThomo69

Can’t believe we have let him go. #whygetridnow @donutplains87
