Blackburn boss Mark Hughes still hopes to sign Roma striker Mido even though the move seems to have come to a halt. “Yes, the Mido transfer is still a possibility,” the Welshman told Sky Sports News. “It's dragged on for an inordinate length of time, it's the longest transfer I've been involved in but we'll keep going. It's not come to its conclusion yet. If it doesn't happen we'll look at other targets. It changes from day to day. Yesterday I was probably more hopeful than I am today.” Rovers have offered Roma £3.5m for the Egyptian who is reportedly set to earn £1.5m a year.
