fair enough. I think another 3 signings and without any first team squad leaving, if any do, they need replacing

The issue for a couple of years now is that the staff that process you at the airport (usually they are not airline staff) don't understand the rules themselves.

But again, what is there to suggest that him and his agent have such a high opinion of themselves? Derby would be a sideways move on more reasonable money but I wonder if the links are just people putting 2 and 2 together.

and he still have the final decision on who we signed as GB said in his second to last interview when he stated that it was JDT call whether to sign Telalovic or the 31 year old loan La Liga striker. " Gregg Broughton explains mystery Blackburn Rovers medical | Lancashire Telegraph Yes I know the project changed in the summer 2023 thanks and JDT offered to resigned which looking back maybe we should have accept given what we now know about the JDT situation and certain things around it. all in the past and nothing to do with the Everton friendly

Windass won't because he's 31. Irrespective of the age, I would still want a Windass in my team than a Dolan.

How do you know he doesnt have offers from Championship clubs?Just because he hasn't committed to anyone doesn't mean he hasnt had offers?

The game is about money I’m speaking merely on his ability and the ability he/agent think of themselves he could get paid more at Derby but it would be a backwards move time will tell like I said I had that gut feeling in 2023 and nothing has changed my mind since

what long term contract offers from where or whom? what options or offers have Dolan got? He has been out of contract for the last 21 days and still no club signing and he has told Rovers he won't be signing a new contract here. Given that Championship clubs have been in pre season for 3/4 weeks and having/gone on pre season training camp yet Dolan doesn't appear to have any offers UK based. So what is the issue and why aren't Championship clubs looking to sign him? Also given he and his agent would have know for months he was leaving here so surely he had suitors then?

NEC Nijmegen was the club

He was proactive in contract negotiations but he wasnt in control of the money. He is a solid Championship player, and I suspect will earn a wage corresponding to that level going forward, either in the Championship or abroad. He wouldnt have been here.

I have a feeling Dolan is going to end up in the MLS.

Well for all his failings Gregg was key at contract negotiations and the fact Dolan/rep failed to engage to me at the time spoke volumes good luck to the fella but I still maintain he’s just a solid champ level player

Windass also wont progress beyond Championship level. Agree with the last bit though. Maybe hes weighing up his options. Even if he is pricing himself out of a move at the moment, those demands will drop but will not need to drop to the levels that we would have been offering to get a decent move at a level on par with us.

Doesn’t need to rush in to things. He Thinks he’s a lower premier league player. Can see him waiting out until transfer window’s closed. In the hope that one comes calling after not getting top targets

Can you imagine what our offer was like in 2023? He is going to be behind but hes probably going to sign a 3 or 4 year deal so in the grand scheme of things its not a terminal blow.

moved on @roversfan99 FFS.

I have to assume that Dolan is pricing himself out of a move. There is no way that clubs aren't interested in him 7 goals 6 assists at a good age on a free.

Teams would rather have a Josh Windass than a Tyrhys Dolan any day of the week. No matter what way you dress it up, Dolan will never progress better than the championship. That does not mean he shouldn't looking for the best offer he can get, which will never be Blackburn Rovers btw.

Not considering us in 2023 I think that was the mistake And reading reports there’s other champ teams interested but nothing has come of them so again I’m assuming he’s holding out for bigger could well happen but your saying what’s a couple of weeks….its quite a lot considering season is 1 month away and the fact he isn’t transferring from a club already training and he’s doing his own he’s going to be behind

But what decision has he made that suggested misplaced confidence that has led him in a wrong direction? All he has done is rejected a contract offer here so far. I suspect a really low one hence the pattern of us being unable to tie players down. For the sake of a couple of weeks pre season ahead of a long term contract, surely it makes sense to ask for higher wages then those demands can slowly drop. Rather than just accepting a low offer really quickly to get it done.

Can’t get on board with that one lads sorry (my opinion) teams are away or heading away to pre season camps having already had 2/3 weeks under their belts. He’s already behind in that regards for me he’s been badly advised and has took that on board - the Turkish club chairman statement spoke volumes nothing wrong with confidence in your ability but sometimes it can be misplaced

Not the same situation. Dolan will require a fee to be paid so theres that additional issue. Plus it might be that Dolan is weighing up offers.

They can take Windass without having to come to an agreement over a transfer fee or factoring in what it would cost them at tribunal. Dolan will 100% have interest and no doubt taking his time considering them it's a big move in his career.

Whether it’s Dolan or his agent it’s much of a muchness as ultimately Dolan has control he can say to his agent ‘no this is what I want I’m happy with this’

Or how inflated his agent is...
