Can’t take this shit anymore

So from Saturday night full of positivity about the squad, manager and team... Back to squabbling and disappointment. All because of some far fetched rumours. @Paul Mellelieu, please ban Madon for disrupting the harmony of the board.

Arguably all three?

All the more reason to be cautious, pragmatic and edge towards self sustaining. It’s a large part of the reason I have so much respect for Mowbray - he puts the long term health of the club over personal career building short term success a la Karanka.

I’d be very happy with Marquis, but this stuff rarely comes out of nowhere.

Bump for a January signing, and the man without whom we would be languishing in 14th 7 million.

Correct. Let’s keep this thread on imaginary daydream loan signings and discuss our actual January permanent signings and their effect on the window elsewhere.

We’d be 14th without his two assists.

I’ve got Ben Brereton’s bellend for winning goalscorer in the playoff final so I reckon he’s a bargain.

Fair comments, and I understand your point of view, much of what you would like sounds great of course. But for me I do have to boil it down to the fact that our current methods have led to better results than most other clubs get, and they have us progressing solidly as a team.

Again you are only looking enviously at others successful signings! I maintain we have done good business overall, business that MANY teams will envy, and as you say - it doesn’t matter where they come from!

Eh? You just said you don’t care where they come from! ? There is an argument for a core of common language, culture etc. too.

Ah, understand apologies. However I do feel compelled to weigh in when people put it like - “Why aren’t we signing players like Maupay and Pukki from abroad like everyone else!? We are missing out! Recruitment department needs sacking!” Its ridiculous and completely dismisses the fact that every team in the league and half of the one above must be sick that they never signed Dack for peanuts from league one, and many will see that Arma is as effective and shrewd a signing you can hope for. Pointing at other’s successes and at our failures is so ridiculously myopic and illogical that I often wonder whether the argument is being made in good faith.

Even if you’ve written him off already - how does the Brereton signing negate the fact that we’ve made some cracking signings that many teams would be jealous of?

Next big things like Bradley Dack? Lewis Travis? Nyambe? Raya? Armstrong?

A wild rumour appears! New poster, wrong thread... it’s not very effective!

You don’t get it. If other clubs happen to sign a good player that makes all of our signings and recruitment wank.

Gonna find a lot of “pure bread [sic] dingles” down Ewood in a few years after the proper maternity ward shut down.

https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/14231038.in-pictures-footballers-who-have-played-for-rovers-and-clarets/ Historical dominance would usually mean its them signing our cast offs not the other way round... They had Bradley Orr and Shane Duffy before us which I wasn’t aware of - the less said about that the better.

I'd have said "underwhelming"... But cold light of day, any reinforcement up top is always welcomed and Sammy G on a permanent wouldn't be too bad at all. Mods please ban Madon cheers.

It’s quite a batty as anyone who follows his missus on Instagram can attest. Think they often tumble in his Rovers gear as well. Reyt good.

It’d be to a team we pass on the way up. He’ll stay. One more season. At least.

The Brickie Dingle is a Premier League player all ends up. THIS is one I don’t believe.

He’s a dingle but I’d have him. Badge kissing celebrations mandatory.

Ok, but I also wouldn’t spend decent money and seek out today’s Joe Nuttall as a marquee signing either.
