It's never heard of a loans manager before. And my first thought was that it was a completely made-up role and completely pointless. Admittedly we're have our struggles inputting passwords or whatever in order to register player transfers. But a specific person who actually does the paperwork for all of our loans? How many players do we loan or and how many in per season? Averaged over nine months, about one, maybe one and a half, per month. What else is he going to be doing or is it just that? We can afford someone to just look after loans but we can't afford a club shop in town or a matchday program. Bring back the late eighties, I was happier then

That's a very specific piece of knowledge, which raises questions that I'm not sure I want the answers to.

That cameo at Bramall Lane made me ill.

I'd imagine it's a typo and should say wasn't.

Dennis to Antalyaspor? A little strange sentence in the article regarding Rovers: "The 27-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Sky Bet Championship club Blackburn Rovers. The forward was offered a permanent deal after failing to make much impact at the club." https://dailynewshub.ng/transfer-emmanuel-dennis-set-for-antalyaspor-move/

As above, still applies

Which some loan managers don't but they have player experience of loans.

And found an ex-player with no particular qualifications for the role. Some ‘search’ that was.

Well clearly not otherwise he would have had a club in the last 12. Injuries stopped Wickham being a quality striker.

Surely we can replace Gueye with a traffic cone?

And? He's more ability in his penis than Mr Offside

I would be getting Lewis Hall in this squad for the next matches. Quality How is Tomori playing for AC Milan? I would play Ben White next to Guehi at centre back

One of yes but we seen good signs from Alebiosu so far. His best game was Hull away Disagree there. One of Ismael's main priorities signings type and player wise. If we sign a free agent centre back we have enough to January but signing a new centre back is number 1 priority come January window

We are discussing Rovers and football issues/subjects. I dont see the problem

Genuinely, can you two just get your own thread? Or just start DMing each other. Either or.

Of course we will miss Brittain, he is the best right back in the league. Tavares has had shockers in both of the home games. Looked decent against the mighty Bradford though. Baradji has the feel of someone whose whereabouts will be still unknown come December. We didnt manage to get that pace in attack that we were so desperate for. Although considering that we have stripped the squad of experience, have nowhere near enough defensive cover and still big question marks over goals, it seems not as big of a deal.

i know it was only Andorra he was up against but it looks like Anderson might have jumped ahead of Wharton in the search for a holding midfielder that spreads the ball around

Alebiosu looked good so far, don't think we will miss Brittain too much but still miss him. McLoughlin has been solid signings. Looking forward to seeing Baradji play and we need an update were we are at injury wise. Tho he is someone Ismael wanted all summer. Same with Morishita.. Gudjohnsen is another one, I know not much about. Tavares looked good in a couple of games and poor last week. But it's a huge leap of gamble by Rovers but we still have plenty of championship experience around plus coaching staff who know this league very well. They will be plenty of ups and downs this season.

Minutes should be out once amended and butchered. So around christmas 2026.

I think everybody would take a mid table finish now. Lost our best whole back 4 (admittedly the left back was on loan), our captain, an important goalscorer within the squad and our most productive attacking player. Too much of a churn. As I said at the time and you dismissed as me banging on about it, our inability to sort contracts has dropped us in the shit. Only Championship experience brought in is a centre back from Hull who struggled for regular football in his natural position and a player on loan who has struggled for regular game time and to discover his natural position at 3 different clubs. Also signed a player seemingly not close to being fit to play and obviously are massively short at the back and in other areas. Totally short of proven quality and experience. From what we have seen from the new players that have played, safe to say it will likely be a mixed bag.

he hasn't had a club for over 12 months

Back on 2016 Glen proposed answers to the following from our Shadow man and still we haven’t had clarification but are still in the same position. We know the score and have for years but yet we are still going through the motions!

Gueye out, Connor Wickham in? I'd take that

well you asked the question and I gave you my answer. 2 or 3 is joke from you given you don't know how many of the new signings will be hit or miss all depend how quickly the new players settle in and perform and understanding the league. I would take mid table finish now and that what I expected after so many new signings and losing some key players
