I find it bizarre he has been frozen out for Michaleski, can only be a financial thing as he is clearly a better and more experienced keeper at this time.

The only chance he comes back in January is if his loan is a disaster

That was my initial thought too

I hope he stays, I feel theres a player in there. Hopefully has a decent loan and returns in december.

Six figure sum ? for Duru £100 k ?

Could we make it a game where for each ”verse” we add a name…? You don’t know what you’re doing Val You don’t know what you’re doing Val, Rudy You don’t know what you’re doing Val, Rudy, Pasha And so on. Might be a long list by the end…

Surely you could throw in some complimentary scissors.

I’m not sure many fans were confused, I expect most assumed Rovers had got it wrong.

Too kind sir. I wear my heart on my sleeve - snotty and broken these days, from all the trauma at Ewood!

Thank you! Much appreciated! I'm sure it's not just me and my curmudgeonly self that feels this way about the way the club is run! All the best!

Rubbish in goal though, ball goes straight through his hands.

On a serious note, if Buckley does go to Saudi we may see levels of languid football up to now thought impossible. A relaxed play style in 40 degrees heat. A pivoting central midfielder who literally stands on one spot and pivots

also quite handy on crosses…..

First Ronaldinho, then Beckham, and now Jesus Christ. At least the club isn't afraid to dream big. Pros: - Creative - Produces miracles - and we need a few! - Lots of followers - will be good for the socials - Should qualify for a Minister of Religion visa to keep the ESC slot open Cons: - Not a right winger - Can only play on Sundays - Is he as good as his Dad?

An English Qualified Player is someone who is eligible for England senior team when he first permanently registers with the club in question.

If there are no bidders for Pears by the closure of the transfer window then it's a no brainer to keep him as number 2 and loan out Michalski until the January. I thought Pears had a pretty decent season considering the many clangers the year before. He showed a lot of mental strength to come back better. I'm not suggesting he's on par with Toft, who I add hasn't won me completely over yet - that will take games and how he responds to a mistake - but I do think Pears is a useful member of the squad who could come in and perform if needed. Ideally, we would sell him and bring in another experienced goalkeeper who is happy to be back up, but if that doesn't happen then i'm fine by that.

I must admit, I do enjoy a good Old Codger rant

Have they gone a bit early with this? Surely tickets won't be going off sale today or is someone down there confused.

Who needs to use public transport when your car can do 15,000 miles to the gallon? I'm looking forward to us discussing how you get to the 12:30 Birmingham away kick off by canoe again. That was interesting.

Fully believe we'll lose our first 7 league games. We'll somehow scrape a win against Swansea on 30th September before going on another run, maybe with a couple of draws in there.

English qualified players is different to English players though right? So someone like Tavares would contribute to the minutes I think?

I'd still give him an hour up top. The ball doesn't stick with Ohashi so he's worth a punt.

Highly unusual and suspect. Never been questioned enough.

Another masterstroke of misinformed bollocks from the media department. Had to chuckle at the LT article where it said "There is an option for Dan Diego to buy Duru" Proof reading has gone to pot at the LT.
