2025 Summer Transfer Thread. 😂

[Trinidad Rover]

Chadometer must be flirting with negative after Baath signed a 1 year deal with the mighty Derby. 
 

 

[Ricceh]

I bet VI is going to try and get ball playing defenders and we'll concede a million just like JDT times. Hyam back passes are back on the menu.

[davulsukur]

Weimann also announced by Derby.

2 down, 1 to go for them. 

[Tomphil2]

Well i think the aim this season will be to develop Carter into a saleable asset whilst Hyam sees out his contract and walks for nothing.

Back to square 1 next summer.

So some of the ITK's were wrong about Batth by saying the stumbling block was the length of the deal. It wasn't - clearly it is down to wages and it is so disappointing when, after seeing his worth to the team last season that we can't pay more than Derby.

Our loss is Derby's gain.

And anyone who argues otherwise is a complete fool.

Kaminski announced at Charlton. Rothwell to Rangers imminent...

Is it "sign an ex Rovers player" day? 😅

Or, we got a good season out of Batth, and Derby get a poor one ?

That’s always a possibility at his age but my gut instinct says he’s got one good season left in him. I would have gambled on that.

I’m not too bothered about Weimann. His race is run in my opinion.

[Tomphil2]

Derby and our ex head coach and players are going to ruin our 150th aren't they, you just know it !

I would put the mortgage on Weimann scoring. Zero doubt in my mind.

[miqaayil]

Don't quote me on this ...

 

But on good authority i can confirm Venky's are doing Rovers...they doing it like it's never been done before ...doing BIG'ly for 150th year ... Gestede is screaming , Pasha is cheering and VI is guiding.....

Jason Lowe signed for Tranmere yesterday. 

[Forever Blue]

Did we actually offer Batth and Weimann contracts? Or were they deemed too old? 
 

IIRC Eustace had to put up a fight to sign them in first place because of their age. I don’t think they fit the ‘model’ cos there’s no sell-on value….not hat we offer contracts to players with a sell on value either mind.

Basically we don’t offer contracts!

[yellowsubmarine]

That snake had the same players at his disposal in January, a top six position, and yet chose to leave us. Now he's coming back for the same players for a reunion. Not surprised if Dolan, Travis all end up there. 

[Tomphil2]

Personally i don't think there were ever going to be offered anything although they did feature on the retained list but were still under contract at that point.

At best it would be the same terms and that's fair enough but going off whats happened in the past they were probably offered less however the main point here is Eustace got those guys in. He played them and Rovers wouldn't even sign Batth the year before pulling the plug at the last min.

So both guys have their loyalty to Eustace not the people who run Blackburn Rovers and that is understandable although hard to swallow.

Genuine question. 

Our records on 'giving players another year' or 'not giving players another year' in the 30+ bracket.

Andi Weimann and Danny Batth - to be determined, but doesn't look good at this stage.

Adam Forshaw - to be determined

Kyle McFadzean - should have just been a 1/2 season signing.

Daniel Ayala - 25 games for Rovers in 22/23, wasn't retained, went to Rotherham United (relegated - 7 apps for The Millers)

Stuart Downing - a season too far, should have just been the one year, 2 starts and 16 sub appearances in 2020/21, though COVID had a huge impact.

This article on the retained list says that they were offered new contracts.
