Lol. 🙂 Chaddy seemingly proved completely wrong about Brittain not going anywhere but still coming out swinging. You're like the boxer who gets knocked spark out then when he comes round has to be restrained from getting at his opponent because he doesn't realise the fight is over.

The next priority has to be right sided attacking player now.

I think it was the same account but I read that all the EFL said was "all we're concerned about is Sheffield Wednesday fulfilling their fixtures" They literally didn't give a toss about anything else.

I wonder if the 2 or 3 is before any outgoings and Miller is on top of that. Also, seeing as Miller could potentially fill in at centre back, I wonder if this gives us more scope to fill those "2 or 3" spots purely in attack. As we are badly short there. Assuming Miller joins, I would say right wing, number 10 and striker are all bigger priorities than centre back and central midfield as much as we could do with more there aswell. Jackson keeps peddling the line that we want "competition" on the right. We dont, we want some really quality, not another Hedges.

He's always been good for us, people on here started giving him stick for ages because he bottled a challenge (which he got injured in) but he's always been a top full back.

Elliot confirmed in his article Thursday is rovers day off

why asked me then? utter pointless asking me that question. Who knows when it was film. Rovers could have had training this morning and then fly to Holland later in the day. I don't know.

Can he put it in from his own half because he is playing with at least 6 league 1 players

Normally we would get north of £5m for a player like Brittain but with one year left on his contract he's one of the bargains of the summer. Will be difficult to replace, and any replacement will be a downgrade. Wonder where our goals and assists will come from...heavy burdens on the shoulders of Ohashi and Gueye this season. Are they good enough to deliver 10+ goals each?

I think Miller is a decent replacement and I'm pleasantly surprised we're actually signing a replacement for Brittain. Miller has all the 'battle hardened' traits to be succesful here. Adds height to the team, can play CB, played at international level, very rarely gets beaten 1v1, and has a long throw. By all accounts, good defensively but not great going forward. Size, pace, and athleticism is a clear strategy this summer. Not sure of the calibre of player generally, but at least there is some kind of strategy I suppose! I suspect Baradji will sign at some point too who also fits that wider strategy. We're gonna try and outrun and outmuscle teams this season. Probably the right approach given we can't afford top players.

The common consensus seems to be both on there and on social media that he has something about him and has some stand out attributes but also is quite raw and makes mistakes. Still, most seem to want him to stay. The concerning recurring theme though is that his pick up in form came when he moved from right back to right centre back. Many people I have seen on twitter have said that he was very good in a back 3 but crap at right back and obviously he will be playing right back here.

We are still the pride of Lancashire but had to be B

I know, but it doesnt mean that it was filmed today.

They will probably live stream on the Rovers YouTube channel I'm guessing

We'll need it 'cos no fucker can put in a good corner.

I mean I'm as anti-Venkys as the next guy, but I don't really give af about a preseason game potentially not being televised. There are other hills to die on - like the home shirt, the lack of investment in the squad, the low season ticket sales etc etc.

well he ain't going to Derby is he like you said. Give it up Mercer. We lined up his replacement already and Miller is set to sign over the weekend according to Nixon and Jackson

Rovers posted it today, check Rovers twitter account Everton couldn't have played later as they are currently playing in the USA

I would be gutted if Brittain was to leave, I was big fan of his and I was saying for months before we signed him we should have been signing him and he was the type of modern type full back we need. Moving the goal posts again Mercer, your info was wrong. Derby haven't even made another bid since over 3 weeks ago. Supposedly Boro is his preferred destination from most of the reports out if a bid is accept never seen him play but someone people seem to know he is good player and he can play right back and centre back. Seems like they have lined up Callum Brittain's replacement before he leave. Gutted he is leaving tho. one of the best right backs in the league. Just Hope Miller is good enough replacement.

Polish lad has scored another 2 today. 4 in 3. Taking it a good sign that he's still playing for them (i.e. no Monaco etc) Miller and him for Brittain?

If you look at comments on Brittain 18months ago, it was probably similar really.

Less than inspiring reviews of Miller. Granted most people don't know what they're looking at, but still.

Probably not, more like spending the money we were using on Baradji.

Good

Apparently Miller has a devastating long throw on him.
