Defenders are coming 

Centre back asked to play right back gets narrow whilst defending. Go figure.

Rovers looking at Sheyi Ojo as one of the loan options mentioned.

Another winger... Yay

Pkie wanted by league 1 or 2 club on loan

We cannot let a full back go out on loan right now. We have Pickering and Nyambe and that's it. That area needs to be added to before we sanction loans. 

Liverpools article about his loan move here has him down as a rovers player between the ages of 4 and 9.

If we sell Armstrong, at the very least new contracts need to be given to Lenihan, Rothwell and Nyambe.

If there are any decent freebies left, although unlikely, maybe we could make a move for 1 of those with some of the AA money.

Id be surpised if there's enough left in the kitty to buy a home shirt from the club shop after venkys take their cut. 

If its as a permanent I'd be happy, then the fee needs to be decent too because as Gav says, we need defenders.

Brereton stuff is getting a bit silly for me now, when he starts to even be of a decent championship standard we can talk about hype. As it is it’s delving into the world of grabbi and rochina

Not quite sure what the point is here? 

We've spoke about capitalising on the Chile fanfare around him, which is backed up by the numbers of followers on Instagram he now has since his Copa America appearance. His previous returns as a Blackburn player and what he may deliver in the future aren't what we've been discussing. 

We'd have nothing to lose by giving the Chileans a reduced rate. I sincerely hope we are doing whatever we can to capitalise on this group. Its an opportunity we wouldn't have thought possible 6 months ago.

what evidence do you want? but I trusted the person who told me. 

 

We will sign around 5 players this summer. 

Nyambe has 172 first team games, Pickering has 167 first team games, Brereton has 145 first team games, Wharton has 110 games under his belt. These aren't kids but players will over 100 games to their name. 

shame he hasn't played there much 

Do you think that is 5 permanents + loans?

Or 5 in total (permanents and loans combined)?

No thanks, I'll take the money.

Me too. I don't fancy replacing our talisman with someone injury prone either.

No offence, but why does he get a clean slate and a free pass from you this season?

It's not like last season (and Brockhall) never happened is it?

Agree. Its the equivalent of expecting a shit office boss to turn it around after 2 weeks annual leave. 

He's shown us what he's capable of, not a lot.

I just hope that somebody in the corridors of power at Ewood has the good sense to see the commercial opportunity there is in Chile and cash in on Brereton mania. 

Somehow I doubt it.

We might as well send every kids shirt from last season over to Chile. Absolutely insane if we don't.

I wonder if People think he getting sack or resigning cos there were no training pictures with him in them

Probably because he's too busy scribbling lines on a big piece of paper.

Even players on social media taking a stance on this

Would Ander Herrera (employee of a sovereign wealth fund) be saying this if he still played for United? Would PSG have signed up if their CEO wasn't on the UEFA committee and CEO of Bein Sports who've shelled out god knows on CL rights recently.

The game wasn't taken away from us over the weekend. This has been a slowly bubbling process ever since the inception of the PL. With greater spoils on offer, the more scrupulous the characters that appear. 

I've seen some people state that the governing body for this might be better than UEFA/FIFA. I'm unsure how a body founded on the principal of guaranteed safety and protection from any kind of financial or competitive loss, would be motivated to instil integrity of any kind.

They aren't here for me and for you - they want these kids who follow their favourite superstar, not one club.

Welcome to the World Series of football.

As close to relegation as we are promotion as we enter March. Welcome... To the twilight zone. 

Yet to see a crewe fan say anything bad about Pickering. Not one of them is glad he's leaving and most seem to think he's bound for the prem. 

Glad to see we've addressed a problem position permanently, it's taken long enough. 

All the players look confused when defending. Nyambe is completely exposed down that right side. 

Why does he keep persisting with Rothwell in that front 3.

Fantastic defending from Nyambe that. 

I must admit, I'd have chucked stergakis in this game. Warnock got rid of Pears because he saw he wasn't good enough. He's just exploiting his weaknesses, of which he'll know them very well . Thankfully for us their front line have missed every chance that's landed to em. 

Gallaghers successful pass percentage must read 0 tonight.

The bench looks weak.  

4 self isolations and 4 injuries (excluding Dack). No real surprise. 

What's Lenihan doing and where was Pears going?
