Stress fracture of the foot apparently

What is it you don't like about him?

Surely if they said 6 or 7 BEFORE Dolan, Weimann and Batth left, 5 more (ie 9) is not unreasonable. To be fair, all I am asking for is another number 10. Otherwise we are in a position where if Cantwell get injured, Tyjon has to play every game and hes not used to senior football and has had injury problems. Whereas sign another and we can blood him in a more controlled manner. Im guessing based on your comments that you cant understand the Badarji deal even before the failed medical.

The LT usually has a live updates page.

So is Baradji actually injured right now? Or is it a case that the medical has picked up something that could/will cause a problem at some point in the future?

Agree Centre forward, right winger, centre back, centre mid. First 2 need to be better than we have. Replace any of Trav, Sonny, Britain if they leave.

That’s what the small print says but the airline staff seem to have other ideas.

Ok. So he said it the day he walked through the door in his first-day interview, long before he knew how the club was run. He was also told we would re-invest money that we brought in (the project - let me know if you want me to patronisingly explain it to you). In case you are unaware the project changed, somebody threw a hand grenade at it and by the end he was saying “I get given the players and I coach them” In fact, when you hear JDT offered to resign as “the project changed”, why would you then think he was “happy” to be signing the likes of Telalovic. That alone tells you the quality we were buying was not to his satisfaction.

Talks that the player really wants the move, Rovers have gone back with a lower offer to club which they Rejected.player could force the move but will be hard because he’s injured anyway. Shame really as he looks a player. One to keep an eye on in January maybe, Or Rovers pay the fee

How things will work at Blackburn Rovers under new 'European model' | Lancashire Telegraph It is a bit like the European way, where you have the Sporting Director and a Head Coach. Of course, Gregg needs to provide us with those names and I need to buy in as well, before I say yes.

Told Rovers have now fixed up a friendly behind closed doors in the Netherlands to fill the void.

I think the reason Cantwell struggled there last season is that playing too far forward he get's isolated and bullied - too slow to escape his markers and weak enough that they can just push him off the ball. He's got technique, passing, shooting etc. but the other team knows it and he gets marked out of the game. I don't think he can play in our current setup and be as effective as he should be at 10. I genuinely think we should shift the formation a bit so that he can play deeper and be protected by Travis and Tronstad - go from ie. Travis Tronstad Winger Cantwell Winger Forward to Tronstad Travis Cantwell Winger Winger Forward See if we cant get a Tugay/Savage type partnership going. I think he'll be a lot more effective with someone acting as his enforcer. He can still make runs from deep if the space opens up. Risks isolating Yuki, of course, which will depend a lot on who our wide players end up being. Not to mention whether we still have Travis and/or Tronstad.

I’ve just answered and told you why you’re different. You just can’t comprehend what folk are saying half the time.

I can’t remember JDT saying it. All I recall was in answer to the question “We’re they signings that you gave the ok to, that you wanted” JDT “First of all I’m the head coach. I get (given) the players, I train the players”. That distinctly wasn’t a “Yes”

Just seen at the darts this afternoon 😀

GB and JDT always said JDT had the final decision on whether a player sign or not. hardly second stuff is it?

who knows what will happen with those 3 but Boro haven't come back with another bid for Brittain since the original bid over 10 days ago. They have enquired about Swansea's right back Josh Key and Chelsea's Alfie Gilchrist

He doesn't appear to have had a very serious injury, at least not since he joined them last summer. Transfermarkt shows him as missing 4 games on 2 occasions, and only one of them shows as injury (the other says not in squad...though I presume that was still an injury as he was a top player for them). He has played since the injury. I think it's more a case of something showed up on a scan that is of concern and could develop into a serious injury. Now the cat is out the bag, his club may well be prepared to accept a deal a bit more like that. Other buyers will be aware of the risk and we were already the best bid. They only paid 250k Euros for him last summer so I wouldn't be surprised if they'll take a bit less guaranteed. I believe the earlier rumours about this renegotiation suggested we were going back to the club to talk the fee down.

I was under the impression it was in the player contract a significantly lowered base salary but padded up with appearance fees to the level of their worth suppose rovers board are likely trying to find a cheaper solution it sounds

Same old Matty. Still didn't answer my question but I couldn't give a monkey what you think

Is that the Greek bloke ?

Ideal world yes but I think it's fanciful to think that Brittain, Travis and Tronstad will all be here come end of the window.

Nixon has said the players wages might not be factored in to this deal. The difference is the overall fee for the player. Rovers want to pay x amount then different instalments once player hits different milestones.

I read he has played off the right before but even if its going to Centre midfielder here that's gives us plenty of depth, options and cover for potential injuries. Whilst I wouldn't be priority another centre midfielder signing but focusing on bringing in a right sided attacking player which we need. after that Striker with some pace and another centre back. If we sign those signings in their positions I would be happy with the squad. squad Keepers - Toth Pears Michalski Right back - Brittain, Alebiosu centre back - Carter Hyam Wharton McLoughlin plus 1 more left back - Pickering Ribeiro centre midfielder - Travis Tronstad Montgomery Forshaw Tavares Right side - Hedges 1 more signing number 10 - Cantwell Tyjon left side - De Neve Karbgo strikers - Ohashi Gueye plus 1. I would loan Leonard out for the season and would sell Buckley.

Don't ask me to name names but looking at that squad we need another striker.
