Scored 16 in the 18/19 season to be fair, one less than Dack.

I know Gallagher has his critics on here, and i have certainly been one of them, but I'm not sure I have seen enough of Vale for him to jump above Gally in the central striker role

If the past 11 years are anything to go by, that money won't be reinvested to that extreme. I imagine his wages will be freed up in the budget, but any cash of which would probably be minimal, will probably be in next summers budget.

Cantwell isn't a replacement for BBD for me.

Yeah I've thought the same. Folk think we're still playing behind closed doors if they only saw the goal from yesterday.

Vale didn't have a good game but there is something there to work with I think. Needs games, I probably wouldn't start him next week but wouldn't have an issue if we did.

The players we have been linked with will all play today, because we're not close on any of them.

All sounds far too good to be true that.

My Riverside season ticket in 2019-20 - £319 A Riverside ST if you bought one today - £429 A £110 price rise in 3 years, which has also seen us go through a global pandemic that will have affected many peoples lives and incomes, and then the biggest cost of living crisis in a lifetime. Steve Waggott says in the FF meeting that he is "very conscious of the socio-economic situation in Blackburn and Darwen". Give over, he doesn't give a stuff and anyone who believes otherwise needs there head examining. They have, and are taking the piss.

With the WBA tickets also being on sale you will never get an accurate count as there is bound to be an overlap with that.

We'll fly out of the traps I reckon and go a goal up, before a disjointed second half ends up 1-1 with QPR having the better of it. Many who refuse to acknowledge the signs will come away saying it was a "good point".

Does my head in reading about "reinvesting" any money from a Diaz sale into the squad. Its like the last 11 years didn't happen for some. It's not going to happen.

I don't like it as much as you do, but doesn't stop it being true. Every time he came off the bench last season it was like playing a man down. Now, I was hoping he would have a really good pre season with plenty of minutes under his belt and start the season looking sharp etc. Looks like he is playing catch up again though. I love Dack, and he might still have that knack of sniffing a goal out here and there, but it's not going to be enough I fear. Think his days as a top player is this league are over unfortunately.

Styles and Bowler are pie in the sky stuff along with Anel and Davies. They aren't going to happen. Hope these prem loans are good as that's what we are waiting for going off JDT's latest comments.

Dack has looked like a pub player ever since he has come back.

I dunno, he spent 4 years at Everton and didn't play a game. I could see Forest and Bournemouth taking a punt though. Failing that someone with parachute payments maybe. Hope I'm wrong, but I don't see him herewith Hedges and Markanday in that role already. (Well aware Bowler is better than both but I just don't think we'll see it as a priority position).

Let's be honest, as much as i am happy with the Brittain signing, I can't imagine he would have had as much interest as the likes of Styles and Bowler will generate.

Said from the beginning, the likes of Styles, Bowler etc. They will go the same way as Anel and Davies. Just not going to happen.

Only advice I would give is ring the club on Monday and never try to navigate the Rovers ticket site again.

Well obviously. But surely if that was the only detail to tidy up then he wouldn't be playing today.

Yep true. Although if what Glen had heard was correct that the only thing left to sort out was a sell on clause, surely he wouldn't be playing today. Not a slight on Glen, but it looks like it's no where near as close as he was lead to believe.

Be amazed if he chose us over Besiktas. Said earlier in the thread that Styles would go the same way as Anel and Davies. Someone was always going to gazump us for him. Think it will be the same with Bowler too.

I think Styles will eventually go the same way as Davies, Anel etc. Don't doubt there is interest but don't think the deal will be done. Moreton I don't know, could go either way obviously. Presume he is a clear step up from Wharton/Garrett or whats the point.

I would have thought it would have been the Bosnian defender
