Do you mean the Uhlsport one? We got relegated in that. Central badge too, always a bad omen.

So we should be proud and happy that a lad developed through our academy, a Rovers fan, is ushered out the back door in the dying days of January for a relatively small fee to what was a smaller club until this lot took over, and then none of that money is used to improve or advance Rovers in any way? I'm pleased for Adam and his family and delighted he's developed but totally ashamed of Rovers' conduct before and since his sale.

‘A love letter to Blackburn’… then show Darwen Tower.

That’s the thing I like the background having some local relevance like the third kit last season but I don’t need the ‘famous’ wainwright bridge on 5 times on the front

You are fixated on policing specifically on my "negativity." Another poster literally described the player as terrible yesterday. I think its a decent enough signing and the above "issue" was simply a neutral observation. He wasnt the first choice. The comment about experience was more across the board, experience going out and none before this coming in. I said when the link came out that McLoughlin will help to address that.

It reminds me of the hi vis yellow and blue ASICS one that was horrendous at the time but has since grown on me in a cult status type way

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.

Which is fine, if we see decent fees on other siginings ( I won't hold my breath)

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.

WOOF that’s ugly as sin, maybe it will grow on me! Darwen tower on it, maybe we are rebranding to Blackburn with Darwen Rovers

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 £1.5m with 500k add on maybe?

Very smart looking. Look forward to seeing it tomorrow in the club shop

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

I quite like it, in a it’s obviously hideous but sort of cool way

No claret, phew. Decent enough if a bit heavy on the copy and pasting!

Hull city live saying McLaughlin is signing for 500k...Bargain price if you ask me, hull fans can't believe it.

That is one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen….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.
