JHRover Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 12 minutes ago, Ricky said: Just don’t think we can let him go for nothing with the mess our finances are in. If it’s £20m now or a free in the summer then I think we have to take the £20m now. We seem to have got over the trauma of letting 3 players walk this summer for £0 when it would have been very easy to keep them all under contract / sell them earlier and together would have raked in £10 million. It seemingly hasn't made much difference to our finances either because we've gone out and spent further millions replacing those 3 players. So probably £15 million laid out or lost for what might or might not be an improvement. If the people owning or running the club were interested in its financial state we wouldn't have seen this happen. They can clearly afford to run the risk on Brereton. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neophox Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Well Breo can always repay the club by signing a new contract and then walk for a big fee in the summer if we don't get promoted. That would show loyalty to the club. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Diaz, we’re probably still in the playoff mix longlist Without him we probably aren’t. I think Balaji likes a gamble, and I’m all for it. I don’t think flogging Diaz on the cheap is the difference between keeping the club afloat or not. The money isn’t going into my pocket, so I want one of our best players to stay. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody will pay the asking price, he’ll sign a new contract with a release clause and big payrise and what happens after that depends on where we finish and how he does.

Cherry Blue Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The Daily Telegraph's Mike McGrath reports that Blackburn Rovers' Ben Brereton Diaz is set to remain at the club after much speculation surrounding his future.

G Somerset Rover Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 The time to have gone for Surridge was surely last season. Can’t see us competing against decent Chanpionship teams even if we did go for him now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rothwell hasn't kicked a ball all season, sitting on the bench is all that Nyambe is doing at Wigan, and when he is not being sent off Lenihan is "starring" for the team with the second worst defensive record in the division - so I don't think we would have been in a better position. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waynerovers Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I'll be delighted if Brereton stays, much rather watch him bang the goals in for another season than cash in. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think venkys will be losing any sleep over him going for nothing, they have proven that with the lads who have left for nothing this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
