As a former one season Prem team loaded now with parachute cash there'd be nobody to get from Luton for less than ten grand a week and not one on £6k a week. So they won't even have even looked there sadly.

Our transfer strategy is nothing more than a pile of garbage. Would argue that we have missed out on tons of good players from mainly the domestic market because we only look at foreign teams with relatively low status compared to ours: - Failure to sign anyone from Luton. This one is for me the biggest mistake. You're talking about a team who played in the PL only two seasons ago. The likes of Doughty, Morris and Adebayo (still at the club) could've been picked up for below market value prices. - Failure to sign anyone from Plymouth. The likes of Bundu and Mumba (still at the club) would've been cheap but good, Championship-proven acquisitions. - Failure to sign Gassama from Sheffield Wednesday for a cheap price before Rangers swooped in for him. - We haven't explored the free transfer market. We have missed out on McBurnie (Hull) who would've been a decent signing for us. The likes of Diangana is still available but rumoured to have now been offered a contract from another club. - We haven't explored players who did well at L1 last season (Kone - QPR, Poku - QPR, Barry - Sheffield Utd etc.). - We haven't explored the loan market, especially PL talents. Many of them have already gone out on loan to other Championship clubs instead (Doyle, Cashin, Rushworth, Lankshear, Devine, Barry, Collyer etc.) All these opportunities yet the club still hasn't signed a striker or, more alarmingly, a right winger knowing full well that Dolan was never gonna sign a new contract and we only have Hedges as senior player on that position. Instead, we cry foul because we no longer have any ESC slots left (see: Miyoshi). Disgusting.

Unfortunately we can’t sign a traffic cone, we’ve used up all our ESC slots…🤓☝

I think you imply it in your sentences following this but Gestede does what he is told ie get older (expensive) heads out so we can reduce overall expenditure.......

Especially when we might as well have fielded a front 3 of Kygo, Lisa Stansfield and David Gray. Would have been equally effective as our current attackers.

i did`nt mind him when he first signed,he could whip a decent cross in and was hard to knock off the ball, but since his bad hamstring injury he`s been shocking and offers nothing,he should have been released

I realise that’s probably correct. But I also ask myself how that’s possible 😆😭

Off topic: Don't know if anyone else has had trouble with NOWTV. Couldn't get to the Bradford game and will miss odd games so the option of joining NOWTV to watch same televised games on Sky Sports + although with the cricket100, test matches, etc it seemed a good deal. Until Tuesday's live game. Couldn't get it on even though two other games were showing. I search for about an hour but no "Caraboa Cup" link and after a useless live CHAT with a NOWTV I gave up. Anyway, looking forward to a live game back at Ewood ........ 1 1 (Miller)

I genuinely believe you could stick a traffic cone in the opponents box for 90 minutes each week and it would have a better assists/goals return than Ryan Hedges has over the course of his Rovers career.

suffice to say "we are f****d" i did predict last season that the remaining players of any value would be sold off,it`s come to fruition . the family silver has been replaced with lead,unless val gets some quality personel in the next two weeks it`s going to be a painful season,i won`t get my hopes up tbh

This right winger search is a piss take. How long have they known one was needed and they are still at the scouting stage. Clown shoes.

no sign of any centre forward incoming,complete cluster**** imo,it should be the no 1 priority

Chaddy special that one

I can't imagine we are trying to. His name hasn't been linked for quite a while now. His star has faded.

Suspect we're not missing much with that one.

we can`t even compete with barrow now😀

ACD is a bit lightweight but miles better than Hedges Id say.

We've been linked with him for years. Sheer coincidence JoeH is at Barrow?

Completely disagree but there you go.

I mean that's blatantly not true. Tronstad. Ohahsi. Gueye (if you're that way inclined).

Could of cleaned the sign up

In terms of strikers, yeh probably as we have no plans to bring one in apparently. But if we do bring one in and they're not better than a League Two striker, it was barely worth bothering.

No interest in going back while those scummys are still in charge. I'll renew straight away once venkys have gone

He will be better than whoever we bring in.

If that's where he ended up, it sounds like we never 'missed out' on him in the first place.
