He arrived too late in the day to have any impact on that decision. If he had been here 12 months ago maybe a change of heart could have happened. You can’t blame Broughton for the previous failures of the club. It’s what happens now and in the future he will be judged on

Plenty of people critical of the previous regime in allowing (whether by design or not), players contracts to expire. Finally with GB it seems the penny has dropped and the new policy is to be proactive rather than reactive. Not before time but kudos to Broughton for this.

Ok, so just off the top of my head he bought Chris woods for £25m and Tripper for £12m in January 22 , just a couple of months after he was appointed. There were probably more as well

Eddie Howes spending at Newcastle. Doesn’t include the £60m just spent on Isak. Amazing what a bit of cash can do

Think the question may well be if Ayala and Wharton are fit is does JDT go to a back 3 of Ayala, Wharton and Hyam ( who looks a solid 7 or 8 out of 10 every week to me). If so who plays rwb till Brittain is fit ? Imo there are 3 options, none of which particularly great: JRC , who may prove to be a better wb than rb, Buckley or Carter. Personally I go with Buckley

Same reason their manager left to join Stoke?

He’s the best academy prospect I’ve seen since Duffer but we need to be careful with him and play him selectively. Need to keep all the hype away from him as well

Millwall looking to take Styles on loan with option to buy

I get the impression BBD really fancies playing abroad, and I think playing in Europe would suit him more than the Premier League. Get a feeling he’ll be playing in Spain next season

We weren’t according to Sharpe.Just one article from a unreliable website reported it and all hell broke loose

Fulham 2nd bid rejected for BBD out of hand by Rovers. Can’t see him going at this stage

Nixon saying Fulham bid was £6m plus extras 🤪🤪🤪

Wharton is without doubt the best player to come out of the academy since Duffer. And that’s high praise. Just oozes class and makes the game look simple

Sorry to put a dampener on things. Not sure we can let him go this close to the end of the window

2025

What game where you watching, could have had 3 or 4 if not for their keeper

Fecking get in ! Brilliant tonight from all the lads but Wharton is an absolute baller. Love it⚽️⚽️⚽️👏👏👏👏

Is this the 5 minute argument or the full half hour ?

Don’t think anybody knows what the option fee is. Not sure where £5m came from

Scouting report on George Hirst at 17 (all I could find!) https://footballtalentscout.net/2017/02/04/george-hirst/

Bit worried about the fact JDT is being coy about the injuries to Brittain and Gallagher. Just hoping it’s not as bad as I’m thinking

Rather have Hirst than Dykes. At least there’s a bit of potential there
