exactly

Forshaw is only 4th/5th choice if we don't flog Travis or Tronstad this summer instead of offering an extension. In which scenario he's suddenly 3rd choice again and we rely on him.

I think you can rest assured, the club aren't offering what you would offer.

Ismael was clearly what he wanted and Gestede outlined in his interview Elliott Jackson what positions we want and what qualities and roles they wanted in. These 2 signings seems to fit that profile of player Ismael and Gestede were talking about. Where have I said I am happy with either signings cos I know very little about either so you haven't read what I have said, so stop making shit up On Batth I was very clear and said I wouldn't be offering him a straight 2 year contract but would offer him a 1 year contract or 1 year contract with an option. Here my comment on Batth and what I would offer him from 9th June 2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂 - Page 84 - Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard - BRFCS.com - By Blackburn Rovers fans, for Blackburn Rovers fans. and I maintain the same stance yesterday https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/37711-2025-summer-transfer-thread-😂/page/139/#findComment-2723563 So I don't know what you are going on about cos my opinion as been same throughout. On Weimann, I said on the I would offer him a new contract back on 21st March and I also mention offering Batth a new contract 2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂 - Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard - BRFCS.com - By Blackburn Rovers fans, for Blackburn Rovers fans. in the same post(The link provided above) that I wouldn't offer Forshaw a new contract so I'm baffled by your comment that I'm happy with him re-signing, cos when his contract extension was announced you asked me for my opinion on that I gave you this response "no surprise Forshaw has re-sign here. It was clear Ismael wanted him to sign from his comments at the end of the season. Squad player midfielder with experience 4th choice but adding Championship experience to this squad. " so your entitled post was totally baffling and clearly you haven't read my comments on the points you make above. He is basically doing the role now so why not to make him CEO officially was my point I haven't said it is right choice or move but Pasha is their man.

That doesn't really make sense. So if the only offer he would accept for example would be 40k per week, that would be a reasonable offer? It would be an exorbitant one.

Just like we are linked with various players we never get. It's all distraction.

Well I'm dreading it.

Love it, if you find the link would love to put a date in there

which is what? So you are in negotiations with Dolan so what are offering in terms on weekly wage and length of contract? I said 2 months ago I would be offering 15k on a four year contract. link provided as proof of what I said https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/34597-lets-talk-tyrhys-dolan/page/46/#findComment-2712611 Yes I am very aware and know what he said but we have 2 in and Forshaw. You didn't think we would get any in for pre season which we have. Yes we need a number of more signings in but we need others out aswell. Ismael wanted Forshaw to re sign here given his performances last season and what he offers off the field which we don't see. He is 4/5th choice and someone who will mainly come off the bench in certain situation.

Absolutely spot on, he's a credit to the club and himself and no player works harder. I've hardly hard him say anything since he's been here, let alone a bad or arrogant word. It's a notion without any evidence whatsoever.

Yeah, people were cracking open the champagne when we signed him.

I don't know where you get this notion. Find me a single quote of him giving it the big I am?

He isn't capable of any such thing.

Didn't we set one up when he very first joined? Pretty sure I commented it and every chucked In Their month or date lol have to search tho

Chaddy is way way to positive about rovers and the obvious failings on show still don’t deter him. However on this occasion he was specific and stated he wouldn’t offer batth a 2 year deal would happily have him back for one plus an option so it was more a case of length of contract as opposed to their age

Yes, no surprises for guessing who!

I wouldn't disagree with making Travis top earner and I also wouldn't disagree with giving Dolan £15k p.w. I suspect the figures quoted are in the right ball park. I'd be amazed if we're offering Dolan more than £10k p.w. if that.

Did someone on this forum just say "maybe Pasha should be CEO"? The only man with a real direct link to Venkys. Must genuinely believe that he's been a COO for the last few years 😂😂

Yes we've signed a couple of players who allegedly fit the narrative thats been put about - and one who most certainly doesnt. There's little point discussing signings with you chadster, we could sign literally anyone and you'd be happy with it. If we don't sign anyone that's also always the right decision as well. And you always dismiss any player who signs for another Club as crap. The most recent case in point is Batth/ Weimann / Forshaw. Because we-ve actually gone and re-signed 33 year old Forshaw you're happy with that but you're seemingly not in favour of re-signing 33 year old Weimann or 34 year old Batth on account of their age. However in the unlikely event we did persuade either to re-sign I'm sure you'd be delighted again and declare them excellent signings.

I’ll see if I can find a sweepstake host website type thing now

The common consensus on Batth was that he was outstanding all season. So how has his departure raised his stock?

https://salarysport.com/football/player/tyrhys-dolan/ https://salarysport.com/football/player/todd-cantwell/ https://salarysport.com/football/player/lewis-travis/ Certainly worth taking a handful of salt with this but I would say these are close, the Cantwell one as an example of what our top earners are on, and Travis as an example based on another going into his final year. The question I would ask everyone on BRFCS, what would you offer him based on those examples of our structure? I personally would be happy to see Dolan on a 15k a week 3 year deal, but I wouldn’t put him in top earner category. Incidentally - I’d make Travis top earner personally! A couple of examples from the championship, similar age and experience, attackers who went to a parachute teams last season; Both Callum O Hare and Tyrese Campbell went to Sheff United last season for free for 15k (according to the same basic AI Research) I would bet that the signing on fees are very different mind!

Whatever date his contract expires. He'll want that £600k p.a. for as long as possible. Who do I send my quid to? Lol.

It's like that anyway and i suppose Dolan was looking at people like Cantwell and saying i contribute more than him. It's more likely the recruitment dept have just been told to look at players on £10k pwk or less salary range.

I dont know but I'd wager he's on a very low wage at the moment relatively speaking. I'd assume he was after something like parity with other senior members of the squad and we're trying to lowball him.
