Sound the 'he's trying to get fit for a move to the Prem' klaxon.

PNE pay less than us. He can't be that greedy. -

Why 5? Let's make it 10, or 20. Or let's count trophies over the last 30. Or let's just count the most recent season and only worthwhile comparison. They finished a massive 2 points above us. PNE. Massive attraction for any player? -

I've not really seen him play so no idea if he's any good. The problem though now is that PKE are now seen as a bigger draw than us for prospective signings. I'd be surprised if they pay bigger wages, they certainly don't spend bigger on transfers. So what have they got that we haven't? My guess would be an inspiring, positive manager and not Lance Corporal Jones. -

I don't remember him saying 2 up front but I remember him saying we would be trying 4-3-3 'like Liverpool'. So a big target man and AA on one side and someone else on the other. GK RB CB CB LB CM CM CM RF CF LF No idea where Dack would fit into that. Be interesting to see what formation he starts the season with because I'm pretty sure it won't last. -

Newcastle were paying him £45k a week according to the article. He had to take a huge pay cut to go to Norwich. However, I bet he's still on more at Norwich than the highest paid player in our squad. Norwich's crowds are a lot bigger than ours and they aren't £130m in debt. Two years ago they reported (at the time) the Championship's 2nd highest wage bill ever at £55m. It will have gone down since then but it will still be considerably higher than ours. We pay around £15m at present iirc. -

I like Hugill, he's a big, strong mobile front man suited to being up there on his own. He's probably only a 15 goal a season man though at best. In a similar mould to Sam Gallagher. I'd imagine he's have to take a massive pay cut to come to Rovers so I can't see it unless it's on loan. -

£45k at Newcastle not Norwich. The article clearly says he had to take a big pay cut to join Norwich. However, that wasn't @JHRover point, he said Hanley wouldn't have got a big pay rise going from Rovers to Newcastle, and then made some bogus comparison with Armstrong. Always best to read the articles. -

Hanley got at least £45k a week when he went to Newcastle. https://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/newcastle-defender-grant-hanley-faces-10528597 Comparisons with AA are silly. AA has hardly played above league 1 before joining Rovers. AA was essentially on U23 money. Hanley was an International when joining Newcastle for £5.5.m - was joining a club flush with parachute money - and was seen as a top Championship defender. -

No. A Championship club wanted him and then when they got promoted he rarely featured and so they sold him back to a Championship club a year later. Good Championship player, just not obviously 'far better' than Lenihan. -

TBF I can say with absolute certainty that you don't have a scooby doo what every manager in the world would be prepared to pay for Lenihan. -

TBF you couldn't possibly know that. All I know is that Lenihan is massively underrated by some. I'd be very surprised if Rovers put a price of less than £10m on him. -

I think the question is will a passing game out from the back (as Mowbray has said he wants) make us more secure defensively? Mowbray hasn't signed a good defender in his two and a half years at the club. This summer that needs to change. This is the summer that Mowbray runs out of excuses on the defensive front. Bauer seems to be the favoured option. He'd better be good or we may be in all sorts of relegation trouble next season without the momentum-inspired start we had last season. -

Frig me, people have speculated about that on here. He must go from forum to forum reading all the made up shite and then claiming it as his own. -

The tenchion as we await our first signing is palpable. We need to raise the barbel where quality is concerned. If only Steve Guppy was still playing. ? -
No, he'll imply that Rovers historically isn't a big club and then go on to question the commitment of the fans. Just like he did last summer.

Agree with you about needing another striker. I'm hoping it's Assombolanga. We can but dream! -
It finished 3 hours ago. You need to let it go?

Connor, that you? ? I always though he was ok but he's not in the same class as Graham. Washington is more yer run the channels type of player. -
