Wrong team for me. I hope I’m wrong.

Stinks of clickbait. In my opinion it’s no coincidence that ‘exclusive’ happens mere hours after Spurs fans’ interest in Phillips was piqued.

It goes to a tribunal if we can’t agree a fee, no idea where your 250k figure has come from.

The initial outlay on Brereton and his salary/bonuses are a sunk cost and shouldn’t be factored into whether we sell him this summer or let him go for free next summer.

He’s never going to be ready to start if he doesn’t start, no better chance to give him a go than against Reading when a lot of our players will be exhausted after yesterday. Dolan is okay as a sub when some energy is needed but he shouldn’t be a starter at this level, which I believe Tomasson has already realised.

Dack for Sammy will be the only change I reckon, I don’t think you’ll see the two of them on the pitch at the same time much this season.

Yes. Beautifully weighted.

Say what you want about Chaddy but he’s (probably one of) the first to mention Travis’s performance today, one of the best of his career, absolutely relentless. He was fucked after 80 minutes but somehow pulled together a second wind for the last 21(!!).

If Phillips does play, which I’m sure the vast majority on here would rather happen than Pickering being played there, would he play on the left or the right? Does anyone who’s watched the youth teams know if Phillips has played on the left before?

I’d have thought the last thing Tomasson would want to do today is throw a 17 year old in for his proper debut!

Turns out starting the season with only two senior centre halves was a mistake, who’d have thought it?

Because he’s on around 5k per week now and if we offer say 30k on a 4 year deal, he’ll be earning 25k more per week until the end of the season and has 4 years’ financial security in case of injury/loss of form etc., along with the benefit of going for a reduced fee at the end of the season. He’d have to think about it at least.

You don’t half talk some nonsense

The 3rd keeper thing is exactly why reserve games should not take place a day before first team games.

He was fucking shite wasn’t he, how are we all still Rovers fans after the last 10 years?

Lowe is the worst footballer to ever play for Blackburn Rovers more than semi regularly and nothing will change my mind.

What the fuck is kool-aid?

If you think Dolan as a centre forward is a square peg in a square hole can I please have some of what you’re smoking?

Myth

It will be 2.5m with all potential add ons etc included. Posh will brief their local journos that the fee is 2.5m and we’ll brief our locals that it’s (say) 1.5m.

Yeah it’s nonsense that we won’t get a sell on fee.

No it wasn’t

He’s allowed to have an opinion about your personal choice.

I agree that’s the most likely option, however he would have to think about signing a new deal because 1) if he has a bad season this time, how much would a club be willing to give him next summer? 2) he’s one bad injury away from being worth nothing to anyone next summer, a guaranteed 30k+ per week for 4 years gives him financial stability 3) if he’s currently on say £8k per week (this might actually be over estimating his wage), a 30k per week contract would be giving him 22k per week extra that he wouldn’t otherwise get He’d have to consider it.

If that’s the case we need to offer him a bumper contract that will make him the highest paid player at the club, which includes a non promotion release clause. He’d have to think about it as he definitely won’t be wanting another year on his current relatively meagre pay.
