We don’t have a pot to piss in and as the season is still weeks away likely don’t want anyone in till the first game to save paying wages like last year. Frees and loans is the best we can hope for

love him to come here but other clubs will also be circling and we never win a race for anybody🙂

Not targeting an additional CB to replace Batth, but we are still targeting the previously mentioned left-footed CB.

Jackson said they are not targeting an additional centre back to replace Batth .... beyond the left sided centre back that they were already targeting Will basically leave us with Carter & Hyam as right sided, Wharton & new guy as left sided options, with Atcheson, O'Riordan, Litherland as younger back up

Wait? Jackson's has said that we arnt targeting any CB with Baath leaving...I imagine it's either old news or just smokescreen crap like with the other French lads.

I think Legia are playing tonight and he isnt involved. But wasnt an issue that he didnt want to come to a Championship side? Before you even consider finances.

Looks like Legia are up sh*t creek and trying to offload whoever they can, can’t imagine he’ll be earning a right lot in the polish league either..

I’d argue we didn’t even want Forshaw, given we actively released him.

Being posted on several accounts though. Either copying each other or something in it

Legia is in serious money problems. They need the cash they can get. They are even in more problems than Blackburn. Selling a player cheaper than they want to is least of their problems.

Nar its probably bullshit but yeah, you're right, gets it out of the way at least. Reckon we'd be in for a proper pasting though.

Southend are playing Cardiff and St Mirren are playing MK Dons at the same stadium so there’s no guarantee our matches will be against Spanish teams.

There's absolutely shit loads of teams in Spain, shouldn't be an issue finding opposition although the standard won't be great I don't think. Real Murcia and Cartagena would be the obvious choices.....

more chance of venkys appearing in blackburn,he`s not going for the peanuts we offer,thats for certain,think legia want 4 million for him,seeing as we will probably offer 400k,it is definately a non starter

Better on a Saturday in August than a Tuesday in January tbf, not that I believe it's a legit rumour like.

Looks like Steve Kapaudi is the left sided centre back they are focusing their attention on, with the stumbling block being Legia owe a 35% sell on. 6 foot 5 french born Congolese international, spent his entire career in Eastern Europe. Scored in Legia Warsaw’s 2-1 win over Chelsea last season. Being reported by a Polish journo on X…

12pm

Do we have a rough release time?

Carsley should have stayed as England manager

No way Pickering can play LCB when we play two CB’s.

Two good goals from Elliot. We need to find a striker though, the lad from Big Club never touched the ball.

Twitter rumour that we are away at Southampton on the opening day. Would be a horrendous opener.

New signing in the medical department 😉

It’s not our first rodeo.
