Sure, played there many times

Pretty sure that Rodwell would be seen more as the centre half cover than as a midfield option.

Maybe, just maybe, like us, Venkys trust Mowbray. Thats why they are releasing funds. Would you trust Coyle et al with that amount of money?

As a matter of interest, can anyone explain the repercussions of ffp on the club if the money being mentioned is actually spent? Will it result in another embargo?

As I mentioned in a previous post, I think last night proved that we can play Armstrong up front on his own and don't necessarily need a 'Graham' type target man to get the best out of the team. Playing a smaller front man allows for a more fluid attacking style and relys on Armstrongs movement. I know it was only Carlisle but it did prove we have other options. Having said that, would still like to see a target man arrive!

Rovers make 5m bid for Ben brereton

Yeh, like they've had a great window

The Maddison story is interesting. Clearly there is something in his character perhaps putting sides off.

My guess is the latter

No, coming from the 2 clubs concerned

I'm no venkys fan but how is it their fault the money they made available hasn't been spent? Suppose they identified the targets as well

So maybe that will help produce a more attractive style of football, not having to play up to Graham so much. A front 4 of Armstrong, with benno, dack and palmer behind sounds pretty decent to me. Much more mobile

minutes ago,  blueboy3333 said: LOL.  We have one good Championship quality striker (Graham). It couldn't be more threadbare.  Have people forgotten Armstrongs favoured position is up front?

Not a striker but can play in the three behind. Agree striker still needed

Won't be Kean Bryan , not a striker and failed medical at Rangers. Diaz a good shout though.

Can play wide either side as well. May not get in the side though the way Samuel appears to be playing tonight!

See WBA being linked with the Leicester winger Harvey Barnes this morning. So may not be after Maddison after all

Interesting! Cheers

Has anyone actually asked Rich Sharpe if Rovers have an interest in Maddison? He is pretty quick to deny any Rovers' interest on linked players in the media (Harrison, Eisa, Edwards, etc), but haven't seen him deny the Maddison rumour?
