2025 Summer Transfer Thread. π
JHRover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Yes you are quite right - we spend on the academy and have category 1 status - so that is the place for young players to play and develop, not the first XI, where the ONLY focus should be on winning games and trying to get promoted. Far too much talk these days of projects, pathways, development. It is a way of lots of people making lots of money. These owners and their goons in the shadows will NEVER allow us to benefit from such a model in any event. It needs stability, reinvestment, good management, all in short supply here. Selling Adam Wharton did not, as far as I can see, benefit Blackburn Rovers in any way. It didn't release important funds for facilities or new players, it didn't lead to a better future, it just meant the revolting owners saved themselves the need to transfer their own funds from India. Whoop de doo. Remember that we aren't a club that offers Championship level wages or even makes an effort to keep important players like our academy developed captain. So what's the point? Even when they make the grade and go on to become Championship standard players we will either sell them and see none of the cash or release them because we can't be bothered paying them the going rate. -

An absolute abomination - and copy pasting the same landmarks over and over makes it considerably worse. Whoever did the kits this season should never be allowed near them again - 0/3 are good for a normal season, let alone an anniversary season. -

Complete BS. We were after him last summer as well. He has been highly regarded by our staff for at least one summer. -

I don't think we can sign both of these as we only have one ESC spot left and they would both require one I think. (Al Sahafri was 50/50 depending if the Belgian side he was on loan at or his current Saudi side is classed as his last club) Believe it or not Burnley's owners are close to buying them to add to there portfolio of clubs. True though, spent all summer chasing targets that are financially out of reach, and have now found one they can afford. For what it's worth I am more at ease with this signing than any of the others, good to have some championship knowledge back there. -
I'm assuming his situation is complex but I've a feeling he might even do a Bentley or Ben Marshall.

Maybe Ismael given his comments post game on Saturday. He is also big fan or Montgomery also. -

Well done pointing out an issue already, I thought your biggest issue with the others was championship experience. -
Offer an acceptable fee and add ons. Like Β£1.5m with 500k add on maybe?

Seems like we have gone for him having been unable to afford our main targets. -

That is one of the ugliest things Iβve ever seenβ¦.although I appreciate everyone has different tastes. -
I'd say if a club like Derby are in for him they'd want ti avoid that risk.

Equally, you are the one saying that if we sold Brittain and didnt replace, its because he is happy with Alebiosu and Montgomery. He wants Brittain to stay so he clearly wants Brittain AND Alebiosu. So if (well, when) he goes you imagine he would want a replacement. -
They could sign him and take to tribunal to settle the fee

I was talking if Brittain was to leave but given Boro haven't put a new bid in all week and he is training this week. If Brittain or leaves, I would play as Centre midfielder for his ability to get box to box and energy, Travis started as right back before Johnson and Dunn moved into centre midfielder.. You suspect Ismael is not? Based on what? A chat with him? -

I have seen the type of thing we are discussing now unfold at my local team (which used to play in the top division). We had a manager who loved to play the old and reliable and didnt give the youth much playing time. One by one they left for other clubs. 3 of them played in the Europeal League seminfinal for BodΓΈ Glimt. Only one we got money for, the other two we didnt get a thing. A.Wharton is what it is. We should be proud and happy that we get to see these talents evolve at the might blue and whites. To stop giving playing time to young prospects will lead to them going elsewhere and develop there instead without getting big money. The balance is important, but looking. at Montgomery for example; Just chucking in a body on RB to have some and then reducing his playing time is not a very strategy in my opinion. And all players comes with risk. Some of the biggest investments in the top clubs have been flops. Lots of money chucked at a players doesnt guarantee success. What I dont like, but fully understand is that we are buying from relegated teams such as De Neve. History has thought us that it would be better to bring in bodies that are used to promotion instead of relegation, but then again we dont have the negotiation power needed.
