I don't understand this at all. We have no interest in playing him regularly but are happy to lose £800,000 on him by not selling for no reason.

Just reminiscing on some of these bold decisions Mowbray was addicted to making. Wonder which players he'll play out of position the next time round? Anyone for De Neve as false nine?

Hate those announcement videos of them biting flowers and striking poses. Rather they just put out a press release.

Hyam a done deal https://x.com/RoversXtra/status/1962611816963428825?t=1F__GBQmWNRbh7znj2H7pw&s=19

It's a bad year to implement the Gestede ball strategy of selling all our best players and hoping there's three worse teams. All the promoted sides will stay up I think.

Been told he has no future here apparantley. https://x.com/RoversXtra/status/1962603259413045331?t=PUv4_9lOgBLQt5zL0Xlm4g&s=19

I also wonder what's happening with Jake Garrett. Will he be released?

Harley O'Gardy Macken off to Oldham.

My thoughts as well, if we'd added to the squad with some of these signings I'd be pleased but we've replaced proven championship players who composed the spine of the team with cheaper alternatives from minor European leagues.

Hyam deal still In the works, think they have until 9. https://x.com/NathSalt1/status/1962592629146739131?t=E7pfF-exovmrTYw-YYe91w&s=19 In other news Jack Barrett has gone on loan to Tranmere.

Pretty irrelevant but I heard through the grapevine that he's got into the habit of booking £5000 tables at nightclubs to impress girls.

I think selling Leonard is the right choice given the fee. I noticed on a few occasions he'd get into a good position with the ball and then almost seize up even if just for a split second before shooting by which time a defender had the chance to stick a leg out and block it. I think that the ability to get a shot off when you get the chance is often innate and is the barrier between a player who scores for in the comparatively low-pressure and low-pace academy league games becoming a professional striker in the championship. Of course it may have developed if he hadn't had so many injury problems but to me he just didn't posses that killer instinct, he may however thrive in the lower leagues and hit double figure seasons where he has more time to think about his shots.

Harry Pickering had a stand out performance for me which was impressive given the quality of the rest of the team.

Rich Sharpe is at his best when stamping out rumours.

Todd Cantwell looks a bit like a girl I used to fancy

Feel like mentioning Sam Gallagher is still rubbish. Loses the ball every single time he has it, terrible target man, creates nothing and never makes anything close to a good run. I've seen the statistic that says we win with him in the squad but as I've said all along we need Brereton-Diaz in that central role.

Hedges played more than anyone during pre-season so I think JDT must fancy him

If we're just chucking about Norwegians then why not Henning Berg?

Always slightly annoys me when people call us 'Blackburn' but he's got time to learn. He seems screwed on in the interview tbh and if we appoint Knutsen I think I might actually be excited about Rovers for once.

just think the guys worth a look... https://tinyurl.com/yhvs2vt6

Might be time to consider the Queen's Park manager from up in Scotland. Took over mid-season and guiding them to the Championship for the first time in decades.

In fairness to Sharpe he's usually not great about who might be signed (and with this search clearly nobody is) but after he's ruled somebody out you can usually expect that that's true.

If Andy Bayes is to be believed in that there will be more interviews conducted after the bank holiday then we might see some of the names mentioned like Unsworth and Ferguson given an interview...

Saw us linked with Ferguson then somebody who's 'close' to him poured cold water all over that and now all of a sudden we're being linked with David Unsworth. Was there some confusion with them both being associated with Everton? Personally I'm not keen on either of them.
