Maybe we were hedging his potential compensation figure for his replacement and now that's not come about, we're snookered.

Looks like Rudy picked up a thing or two whilst shadowing Waggott.

There's is zero chance Leonard is seen as third choice striker. If he was, he would have been in Spain and not turning out for the U21's against Oldham.

Cheers for these posts Chaddy.

He played 44 games in the championship last season for us, under 2 different coaches, surely it's a big hole.

We really need a RW, Hedges frustrates me more every time I watch him. There's times where he has 5 or 5 touches in quick succession and does well, then 30 seconds later, banjos a 5 yard pass. Tends to fall to pieces in front of goal and usually picks the wrong option. He's a workhorse, but if we do want to push on, he's one that needs to be replaced as a starter.

That defender absolutely shited himself when that ball was coming towards him.

A good move for Dolan going to La Liga, regardless of the team. I think his biggest attribute is his overall ball control, which La Liga suits. He won't be reliant as much on speed/pace. Needs to work on his distribution, which is more intelligence than ability in his case. Be interesting to see how he gets on there as Espanol were tripe in their forwards areas last season.

He's gone back to Switzerland. It was a medical issue. It could be off, it could be renogtiated. Splinters everywhere.

That might depend on your definition of working.

Maybe Sonny can put a word in. Contract situation aside.

To be fair, the club said they wanted a centre back and had offered Batth a contract at that time. My assumption was that if Batth didn't renew, we would want a replacement for him as well as another centre back. However the club have now said they aren't going to replace Batth.

Yeah I've definitely seen Toth on some of the social media posts from the club.

I vote for an narrator with expert knowledge on what is going on. David Brent perhaps?

I have imagined what one of those behind the scenes documentaries would be like down at Ewood and Brockhall. Sub genre - cringeworthy comedy.

Oh we were so close to agreeing a contract extension. We definitely can't now Middlesbrough are interested...

That's the key for me. Once we lose Travis or Tronstad out the first 11, it shows massively.

Granted it's only one YouTube video. But just looking at the lad, he is one big strong unit.

The jist is, we are interested, but other clubs are too.

I've been told they're tiles at the entrance of Blackburn Museum.

I see this mentioned semi regularly and although I agree with the premise, there are 2 problems in the pipeline. 1. We will replace players who leave with inferior players. I don't necessarily mean by design, more that the law of averages state if we don't increase transfer spend, we will replace with inferior players. 2. If we have to keep replacing 3 or 4 of our best players every calendar year, then we aren't really building are we? At best we're rebuilding the sandcastle that a wave has just knocked down - knowing another wave will soon turn up.

But how do you know we didn't offer him a good contract? He's closer to his family if he moves near Derby. He wanted to work with Eustace again. Sorry, I seem to have jumped the gun defending the club.

The spin from some on that is going to make them dizzy.

Maybe somebody misheard and thought there was someone we could to sell to Cash in.
