Same applies, how on earth can you label someone a downgrade without even seeing them play? I like Callum Brittain and wish he would have stayed, but let's not make out he is defensively flawless! He was made to look suspect many times last season, in his best season for us. Miller is clearly a different player reading what he's said and others who have seen him have said. Until proven otherwise he's a replacement in my mind for now, rather than an automatic downgrade.

The first court case made clear they were wanting to send money to ‘protect their investment’. To be this = the bare minimum.

We registered 23 players at the start of last season. 12 of those remain at the club. That sort of turnover cannot be healthy (with the exception of agents’ bank accounts)

Has anyone got a link to the latest Rösler rumour please?

I assume you mean Rosler & Baradji? If so, them I would think something like below would be te 25 they might be aiming for. If they get something like that is maybe a different matter Toth NEW Barrett Hyam McLoughlin Carter Wharton Rosler Ribeiro Pickering Miller Alebiosu Tronstad Baradji Tavares Forshaw Cantwell De Neve Kargbo Hedges Henriksson NEW Ohashi Gueye NEW I cannot see beyond Travis being sold, Hopefully extra competition being brought in (probably on loan) up top, wide and in goal Assuming Leonard & Pratt are loaned out, Buckley & Pears sold/loaned, Garrett injured so doesn't need to be registered, U21s (Montgomery/Tyjon etc) don't need to be registered

More players will be leaving before deadline. Hyam set to sign a new contract 2 weeks ago and nothing since ...it will go the same way as Brittain.And Someone is bound to come in for Travis

D'Or? I'll get me coat...

His bluesky account

Wonderful!

Finally... I knew it all along... Madame was telling the truth... Welcome to Blackburn Ronaldhinho!!

All the following based on transfermarket (yes I know) and all subject to other factors (and I know others far more aware of such matters will correct me) 🙂 In Sidnei Tavares 23 –midfield –Portugal euros 2m Lewis Miller 24 - right back –Hibs (Australian) euros 860k Dion de Neve 24-midfiled –euros 759k Ryan Alebiousu 23 right back – euros 576k Sean McLoughlin-28-centre back-Hull euros 575k Euros 4.76 Out Joe Rankin Costello 25 charlton euros 870k Tyrhys Dolan 23 espanyol –free (wages saved)? Andreas Weimann 33 derby free (wages saved)? Danny Baath 34 derby free (wages saved)? Callum brittain 27 Middlesborough ??? Jordan eastham 23 free (wages saved)? Cauley Woodrow end of loan (wages saved?) Euros 870k without Brittan fee So we would need euros 3.870m for him to make it evens. If Henrikkson and Baradji are to come in, there have to be more outgoings for cash. Trav, Pears, Buckley?

Where do you see this as nothing on his X account?

Hope not, if we aign him and midfielder number eight, wouldn't that leave us more or less at capacity as regards the 25 man squad?

lol, duly amended

Despite the name of that website, I think he’s wrong. The regulation very clearly states the time period and when that time period starts from. I’m perfectly happy to be the one who’s incorrect but I just can’t see how I can be misinterpreting the wording.

I was certain the next word was going to be horse

Agree fully that this time last year it looked like a disaster waiting to happen as well but Eustace plaited sawdust with the resources he had at his disposal. VI is going to need to do the same.

vinicious jnr🙂

Yeah and then Nixon wondering why we haven't progressed with that transfer...the costing a few quid will be his answer

Its Cristiano Ronaldo, apparently he fancies moving back to the North West and reverting to being a wide player to finish off his career

And costs a few quid

Rosler is right footed I think, so it may be cover for Carter and also future replacement for Hyam seeing as we dont renew contracts

So winger is experienced and from abroad according to Nixon.

Even if I'm probably in the half-full camp, I would agree that the loss of experience is a concern and we have a weaker squad for the first part of the season. That said I was probably even more pessimistic last season. Losing Smodiczs, Wharton and Gallagher from a team that barely avoided relegation I couldn't see any quality or goals left. Expected a struggle and the team certainly overperformed. The incoming was all over the place with a reported power struggle. In came some random foreign strikers, 2 old has-beens without legs with little playing time and winding down their Championship careers, a couple of loans and a Todd Cantwell with the potential to disrupt any harmony. This summer has at least shown some resemblance of a transfer strategy bringing in people of a certain profile, before pre-season and quickly replacing Brittain.

Think the Rösler links were from earlier in the window, before we signed McLoughlin but am open to correction if they have resurfaced
