Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
Mike E replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
This time last week, there was no hint of Brittan signing. By tomorrow night he was ours. I'm trusting that other moves are similarly under wraps. -
They're shaming the recent men's performances tbh.

I've enjoyed watching these women play more than any of the men's games since the Euros. There's a real magic about tournament football with England at the moment and it's fantastic. That bit of absolute filth from Russo for the third goal was 🤌🤌🤌

Actually yes, I believe it completely. It's exactly how White and Cryer operated with the club too. They were regularly told things so they could prepare potential reports ahead of time. It's part of the trust of being a local paper journo. -

That's the manager's job, not his 😉 -

It does have its advantages in that he's worked within much tighter parameters at international level, in that he could only identify Welsh players. The track record of rising through the world rankings as quickly as they have with players apparently identified via his own programme is a positive. Applying that criteria to a wider scope of players at club level should mean he can have more scope and scouting to do (IE: a new challenge that isn't SO different). -
Guilty conscience, methinks.

When @Miller11 has presented collated fan opinion on the last 10 years to SW, he was very surprised. Think he generally expected us to be happy with promotion to the Championship, forgetting about the journey down to L1.

It's the Rovers way 😄 -
I can vouch for this. Worse than Mrs. E in an argument 😂

As a Rovers fan, how the F*** was Paul f'n Scholes your first point of reference for a 'maestro well into his 30s'? 😅 -

😍😍😍 Legit mancrush on him I think 😅 -

I keep hearing the word 'lovely' in his voice for some reason. -

JDT wouldn't have tracked him, but GB would have. Although when I first read your post I briefly considered the fact the Denmark once owned Iceland, until Iceland broke away once Denmark was invaded by Nazi Germany. -

I really like all 3 shirts, HOWEVER I struggle to envisage actually wearing them. Might be able to justify the navy one as a golf top 😅 -

It's a surprisingly physical league tbh. Hard hitting at times. -

Give me a Bert any day of the week. Really reliable player up and down that wing. -

Berger in particular sounds like a good utility option for filling in at left back (Warhurst style) if we need Pickering or Edun to pack the midfield. -

Not saying we 'should', Chad's. Just using it to point out that I'm now getting nervous, and I would feel more comfortable if we had that particularly weak area boxed off. I'd much rather sign the players you mention, but I'm now getting concerned that we haven't signed ANYBODY. -

Won't be a loan as his contract is up next year. That gives me hope we may still be able to sign him at a relative knock-down fee of £3-5m. -

It genuinely settle a lot of nerves for me if we turned round and re-signed Nyambe, because right back looks WEAK at the moment. I'm hoping this era is 'a bit Allardyce' in the sense of only signing experienced players to go straight in the team, while the flip side (non-Allardyce) is using the academy to get younger players into the first team. -

I find it bizarre. You don't see the media calling Richard Branson 'The Virgin'.
