If he was to sell for £150 million, I'd wager that Suhail Pasha's head might be the next to be nailed on the boardroom wall. I mean, even to a bunch of remote and disengaged halfwits, the sale of an asset for around 13.6% of 'fair market value' might be seen as somewhat cack handed and incompetent... Just think, the Venksters, could have recouped a large slice of their sunk cost in one fell swoop, simply by holding on to a star player, adding a little extra support to a manager clearly capable of cutting it at Premier League level (or at least ambitious enough to take the club to that level again) and waiting for the offers to roll in - who'd a thewt it? And what stopped this alternative universe scenario playing out? Well, apparently there's this shadowy figure at the club who holds the purse strings, but has the imagination of an ant, the football knowledge of the average foot scraping and the business acumen of Mr Magoo. So, come on Liverpool, Barcelona, whoever, make this prick stand out for the fraud that he clearly is (NB, Suhail Pasha, not Saint Adam (I bleed blue and white) Wharton. PASHA and VENKY FOOTBALL SCOURGE OUT!

And if that is the case whoever decided that we should ship out Travis and replace him with Baradji needs firing. You can't replace your captain with a player who won't be fit for months.

They wont sign another CM having got 3 in (Forshaw, Baradji, Tavares) As many have said, despite that we are chronically short there in both quality and experience. Tavares looks very poor from what we have seen, granted he missed most of pre season. Will define our season.

Doubt Baradji will be fit till november time then he’ll need time to get up to speed and adapt to the championship.. may aswell have got him in January

That midfield 5 is terrifying, Tronstad the only championship quality player in there, the other 3 I don't believe are the standard required and a massive question mark (being kind) next to Baradji who we have no idea a) if he's any good b) when he's fit.

Dan Barlaser or Sam Field.. both below average footballers but would be our 2nd best midfielders and have experience, panic day so would definitely take either

Even though I don't think he is outstanding someone like Dan Barlasar at Boro could be brought in on a cheap enough deal Gestede ...ismael...Owen.. etc have seen our games it's frightening if they are not concerned over our options at centre mid

just put the R next to our name now

Installing Gold Plated Toilet Seats and Taps,luxury padded seats in Darwen End...free Pie and Pint also.

100%, he signed up for this too so he isn’t faultless at all.. go get an experienced number 2 on a free 🤷‍♂️

Its bizarre. He played (his request) for the under 21s a couple of weeks ago. If Toth gets injured and a young lad comes in and makes a mistake. Thats on Ismael.

think Bucko, him, Trav and Leonard did, could be wrong

The Pears thing is really odd. Even if he is "Hair transplant guy" how bad can it be? Surely he could at worst play with a protective cap or dressing on. Can't understand him being frozen out to the extent he isn't even being considered as back up. Did he stick up for Lesley as well?

He wont be going anywhere regardless. He has 3 years left. They arent paying that off.

It's just a guess You just ignored all the facts in front of you again. I will leave it there

2 years and 230 pages later and still no better informed as to what the feck is going on!

No centre midfielder he will be gone come October internationals looking forward to hearing the absolute nonsense that will come from Rudy about how this window has been exciting - will cite gudjohnsen and Morishita signings which will then in turn fall into they are going to need time to get up to speed etc so predictable

We are a tronstad and Toth injury away from being the 2nd worst team in the league. But I guess the pathway’s are more important!

Would feel more comfortable with adding someone a bit more experienced in centre midfield. Particularly if injury concerns / doubts over Baradji.

I'm really concerned about centre half. The ease at which a decent centre forward can beat our centre halves whilst also giving them a 1 yard head start is worryingly to say the least.

If we end today without adding to midfield then we're going to run Tronstad into the ground. Foreshaw, Tavares, Kristi and sick note as midfield options should Tronstad be out is negligence in all honesty.

Jackson wrongly claiming we are at the 25 man squad limit, Goddard & Montgomery do not need to be registered as they will still be 21 come 1st Jan 2026, & it looks like Pears won't be registered. I would personally keep Pears as back up, but if he is not registered we have 3 slots left. If he is registered, we have 2 https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/25430100.transfer-deadline-day-live-latest-blackburn-rovers-news/ As things stand, this is what we're looking like as squad depth. Rovers can name a 25-man squad with Tyjon and Michalski two that don't need to be registered. So they're at the limit. GK: Toth, Goddard, Michalski, Pears RB: Alebiosu, Miller CB: Hyam, Carter CB: McLoughlin, Wharton LB: Ribeiro, Pickering CM: Tronstad, Forshaw, Montgomery CM: Tavares, Baradji RW: Morishita, Hedges CAM: Cantwell, Henriksson, Tyjon LW: Kargbo, De Neve ST: Ohashi, Gudjohnsen, Gueye

The injuries will be the only thing to stop the big move.

It would be a disaster, but a shoe in for relegation is a bit much. There's some absolute dross in this league. You don't need much talent to finish above the three worst teams. Having said that, I'd obviously be much happier if we had another proven midfielder coming in before the deadline.
