Can play CM, or anywhere across the front three. Big powerful runner - got 19 goals last season. Hull and Wigan interested apparently.

Sigh, so annoying seeing all these players mentioned or previously linked with all being snapped up by much better prepared sides. All the while, the silence from Ewood is deafening.

Jokanovic managing in Qatar. Good manager, wasted over there.

Like the look of that but think Travis is better suited a bit further forward rather than being a CDM. Would hope Davenport nails down the CDM spot but our midefield would be extremely young then so expect Evans will play there - unless we sign one of these experienced players we keep getting linked to. Morrison would be a decent shout for midfield as a short-term option.

His goals didnt really bring that much in terms of benefit tbh. We lost far more games when he was in the team than we won. Admittedly, if he can play int he team and score goals without then losing said games, big benefit indeed.

Yup, trips to India, TM on hols. I guess we start getting to work today (hopefully).

Missed a trick there.

On Hanley, think its the type of defender we need. Runner up to Maddison as Noriwch's player of the season the one before this. Big and ugly - almost literally (no offense Grant!).

Perhaps a 4-2-1-3 variation of that? GK RB CB CB LB CM CM AM RF CF LF

Did he? Missed that - any links?

I doubt the main reason we didnt sign McGinn was the wages, it was how slow things operate at Ewood. It was clear from very early on that mcGinn was a target and had we had our shop in gear, we'd have picked him up long before Villa even showed an interest. That 5k eventually tipped things but playing in Scotland he would hardly have been earning much - if we moved (were able to move quicker) and just went out and got our man instead of having to wait for trips to India and money to get authorized he'd probably be a Rovers player now. Same thing is probably happening now.

Mayonnaise specifically.

Brentford slapped a 30 million price tag on Benrahma. Being heavily linked to Villa (the boss that found and bought him). What a bit of business he has been. Ollie Watkins also being linked to three PL clubs including Sheffield United. We could do with snapping up whoever is in charge of scouting over there, would be nice to get players from further than the West Midlands.

On monumental wages.

Who gets married in a gym? Jokes aside, this is what I wish Dack would do. Find a nice lass, settle down and focus on your footie. None of this party lifestyle with z-listed celebrities.

Just as good? Time will tell but at this moment in time he is not - Connell was called up for the Rep of Ireland full squad just last month, is 18 and probably about to sign for Celtic but has also been linked with Spurs among others.. Would be a snip signing considering Boltons situation - value for money and all that. Celtic likely to pay just 300k.

Id be spending a few hundred K to bring in Luca Connell from that lot. Celtic sniffing around him.

Just pleased that he says we have a similar amount to spend this time around too - just hope they have identified and made early moves for our targets this time around. Maybe spread the money around a bit more this time too - CB or two, GK, CM and CF would do then bring in some more experienced loans (not kids from the PL).

John McGinn, Bersant Celina and Luke Freeman With those three in our midfield, good chance we would have made the playoffs.

A single act that he will regret for the rest of his life. Young men always think they are invincible - we've all been there.

At a guess, a post by roverite that has since been removed. See their comments to eachother a little further down. Just a guess, might be wrong - initially wondered myself.

It means to order it before its even available. Just means that once it is, you'll be shipped a copy straight away.

Shaven? Dack is mediocre because he has a beard? We got a few of those.

He would always be top scorer or thereabouts every season anyway as the team is set up for him to score. DG has run him close the past two seasons but primarily he is playing as a target man whereas Dack is meant to be there to pick up the pieces. Not sure this lack of pace thing means much in the PL, he has a knack of timing his runs perfectly and being where he needs to be to get his goals. Plenty of top players that you'd hardly call quick.

Pretty solid left back for us I thought. No world beater but i'd have him above Williams and Bell.
