Can't think of many better signings in the Premier League era. Top class guy.

2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂
Tim Southampton Rover replied to Upside Down's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
After listening to the likes of Paul Merson slag off Rovers fans over their over the top reaction of Steve Kean and the goings on at Blackburn, I take anything from pundits and journos with a pinch of salt. Judging on a few of the comments i've read from fans of the team he's leaving, we've got a player who is hardworking, wants to improve, and a decent person. Seems like qualities I want in a player at Rovers. Let's hope our coaching staff can work their magic and turn him into a gem of a player. Fingers crossed! -

Dodgy goal to concede too. Not his fault though, the player seemed to use his hand to control the ball and the goal counted 🤷🏻♂️ - Today

Bingo. I actually said the same at the last Fans Forum. I used to religiously watch Match of The Day, every Super Sunday, all Champions League etc. Now I barely even bother. -

Add in how Rovers is now run and I’m guessing that probability drops even further. -

Was talking about this at work yesterday, but I was saying that when I was a kid, if football was like it is now, with the slow play and aimless sideways passing- I probably wouldn't be a fan of football. Certainly not like I am, anyway. -
Aware we are missing a few players, but that still doesn't excuse some of the selections or the start we've made. It's very concerning and it looks like we've gone backwards, tbh. I'll only start really worrying if the September matches are as poor as the ones over the last few days.

He has a documentary coming out about his early career - but no news as to where he goes next

Very strange signing indeed I watch the odd bits of Belgian football purely for betting purposes and the standard even in the top flight is dreadful it really is, most teams way below championship standard - Kortrijk included. Hence the vast majority of the national team play abroad apart from the odd player from the bigger clubs like Brugges. I can only assume our scouting network (I use the term loosely) were tasked with finding someone with a bit of pace, with a valuation of < 1M. Basically like when you set the filters on champ manager as such. I find it hard to believe we've been tracking him for a while or even seen him play much. Despite the above I will give the guy a chance like with any new signing, we may be pleasantly surprised. -
Any news?

The game was meaningless as far as qualification goes but I hope that Tuchel learned from it. The crowd certainly let him know that it was unacceptable. He must know too. It's time for him to ditch his experimentation phase and start planning for WC 2026. Get rid of Walker, Henderson (J), Burn, Chalobah. I'd probably ditch Gallagher too. Play a left footer ant left back, a right footer at right back, and start thinking about a central partnership, All of us on here want Wharton to play. Kane was goosed at last year's Euro's but still has it. He'll score another hatful for Bayern next season. If he stays fit he'll be as effective as ever. It's what Tuchel does with Bellingham that will matter. He can be England's talisman but Tuchel needs to play him where he will be most effective and avoid a Gerrard-Lampard situation. If that means not playing a talented player (Palmer for example) who could get in his way, then so be it. There is summer, more qualifying games, and a long domestic season to go before the World Cup starts. Tuchel was hired to win. His ego is/was big enough for him to take the job. Roll on to September.

Not really, it's standard fare everywhere especially for government and other institutions like that. The whole institution of 'journalism' is completely co-opted into that. That's why you never see any real exposés of any corruption or what have you. It's not really journalism it's just propaganda. There are smaller independent journalists that actually do their job properly but they're harder to find. They are out there though. Venkys use a lot of the same tactics as governments but just in a cheaper and shitter way which is why they're so easy to predict. Unless you were talking about the woman fighting her toddler over a bag of smack, which again is a daily occurrence in Blackburn and not really much of a newsworthy story.

Dont listen to journo’s anyone can do it just look at Alan Nixon -
It is about time friendlies and Nations Cup were scrapped. It is far too easy to qualify for major tournaments now.. The better Premier league players are foreigners.

There's nothing whatsoever to suggest that's the case, things had started to get very stale under Southgate and results and performances were going backwards not improving. We were incredibly fortunate we didn't go out of last year's Euros at the last 16 stage against Slovakia. Southgate peaked at half time of the 2020 Euro Final. After that match he should have been replaced.

Belgium podcast soccer journalist far from complimentary about De Neve. Lacks creativity and rarely attempts on goal. Was not considered to be one of their better players in a team that's been fighting relegation from a lower standard league than the Championship. Also mentioned that the club has been badly run so all in all he should feel at home at Rovers. Might be ok in L1 the season after next. -
He'd have reached the final this time, that's the standard Tuchel has inherited. I just hope he doesn't ruin all Southgate's brilliant work throughout the whole set up.
-
If he has, then that's more a reflection on the players than the manager. There's nothing wrong with Tuchel's managerial credentials. He needs to stop picking Gallagher and Henderson though. Former is useless, latter is past it.

I had a neighbour that looked like that when he’d been sniffing glue. If fact he looked better than that.
