Wonder if there is something in this Maddison link, a few of their fans think we are in for him and their chairman on twitter isn't replying to any questions from Rovers fans about the link but is replying to others.

Ha, yeh sorry, meant to put 'played' - he retired 8 years ago did Nonda

Nonda has done okay, now at Galatasaray, plays European football regularly etc. Danny Simpson gone on to win the Premier League. Jermaine Jones you could say carried on playing a a good level in germany and in a world cup. Mame Diouf, carried on playing in Premier League, but now in Championship. Michael Keane, done regrettably well EDIT Sorry you said Keane

Makes me laugh, bet all the posters who are 'positive' about England, were part of the vast majority that jumped on the 'worst team weve ever had' bandwagon. Now we have got to a quarter their all over it, but yet people who have criticised even when the team has won are all fools. One extreme to the other with this country, lowest of the lowest confidence straight upto the we are going to win it, within 3 games won (one scraped, one againsta primary school team and one on a pennys) its disaster to euphoria. And thats allowed, but realists are negative and have spoken out of term and are idiots.

Asked one of chaps from city academy about davenport said this: Yes struggled to find form after a fairly long injury just over a year ago but finally started to show some really good form after work with Pep and carried it on to playing under Clough at Burton - Blackburn have got themselves a great young midfielder

Yes but we paid them an agreed fee, presume because it may have gone to a tribunal otherwise.

From one of local reporters: Jacob Davenport is an excellent signing for Blackburn. The kid is class and excelled in a struggling team last season. Play to his strengths and you've got yourselves one hell of a player. #mcfc #Rovers #bafc

You don't follow him, becuase he blocked you ? "no, Alan blocked me for being a fud "

If that is the case I would guess our budget is around £3-4 million, for transfer and loan fees with wages on top. With Rothwell probs being around £250k, Chapman would be around £1mil (with just a year on contract) and Bauer probs looking at £1.2mil. All guesses obviously, but that would be nearly £2.5mil on permanent signings, then could see us bringing in a couple of loans and maybe another permanent towards end of window when clubs are wanting to get rid.

I certainly wouldn't be expecting us to be any of those sides, mate. I fully expect Columbia to turn us over. I didn't think we would beat Tunisia in the first game (we only just did).

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2018/june/fixture-changes-confirmed/ Leeds and Preston home games both 12pm kick offs, typical rovers.

It's a funny one, I don't think we have really exceeded anything yet. Look at it this way, if we lose against Columbia which is very much possible, we will have been knocked out having won 2 against two mediocre teams and lost two against two decent sides. Wouldn't have been a great tournament really.

Just seen Boro signed Flint from Bristol City for £7 million. They are still spending big aren't they. Bristol sold Reid to Cardiff also, their fans aren't happy.

Ha good shout, you're both right.

Don't know why its tagging lobt comment but anyway. Rothwell, if that's the sign of intent, then i presume the intent is to go straight back down. Poor player. On par with smallwood who wont be good enough for championship.

Birmingham Mail says we have an interest in David Cotterill. https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/birmingham-city-transfers-bolton-sunderland-14775084

It isn't the Lancashire Wide Web LOBP lol

Chaddy mate, people don't post looking for your approval every time pal.

Are you high cause you've just beat us at cricket? Bloody disgrace from Englands bowling department.

Id imagine we will be concentrating more on permanent signings at the moment with the window closing at the beginning of August this time. Then maybe loans will come in after that with the loan window open until the end of August. Interesting few weeks as a lot is needed to make the squad competitive in terms of building numbers with is being short and improving on quality which will be needed.

Was he? He was pretty average "However, despite scoring 9 goals in 77 appearances, he failed to make a major impact during his time at Everton and had been on the fringes of the first team squad during the 11/12 season after finding himself playing in the reserves. In November 2011, Bilyaletdinov said that he sought to leave the club if he did not get a first team place, as he feared losing his place in the national team"

how's he worked that out, am I being thick? If it's a private reg then you couldn't work it out could you? As the letters and numbers will be irrelevant

Hi twitter name is AnthonyPilkingon11

Mowbray seems to be very honest with his players, maybe he's told him that Bell is his man at left back next season and with Williams now on the international scene and wanting more caps, maybe Mowbray has agreed he can go.
