Transfer Window - COMPLETE. Where’s Gregg?
TheRevAshton replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Would be great for him to feature regularly, though at this stage he would be needed should Travis take a knock. Since we're apparently looking at Brannagan there's probably an opportunity to make a deal with Oxford there, a 'sell us Brannagan and we'll loan you Garrett' sort of thing. -

Yeah I noticed that - there were 4 more gaps in the sticker book, more signings on the horizon lads! -

The ads are tailored Daniel, of course I do! I bet you leave comments on the vids; "Ooo solid technique, my new fave! xoxo" -

Respectively, i'm not sure what to make of this... but i'll ask anyway; Have you been given the names of the players? Can you at least say what position they play? -

Hopefully we've got other targets lined up, if so we'd better keep it quiet... can't risk Accy Stanley catching wind and hijacking our deals. -

Really starting to worry now... 11 days until our opener against QPR and still there is pretty much nothing going on regarding incomings. When Broughton and JDT came in we'd released a bunch of players already, and it seemed likely that Lenihan and Nyambe would be leaving (which they eventually did)... yet, my thinking was along the lines of "Oh well, just watch who JDT and GB bring through the door! It's gonna be signings galore around here... Scandi talent, decent frees and quality loans - we'll all soon forget about who we've lost!". My mindset has changed drastically, to say the least. Praying we have a mental couple of weeks before the season starts, we simply aren't ready at this point. -

You never really know I guess, but... We were the worst team in the league for the second half of last season, and we've lost some of the better players from that group without replacing them. I think we're in for a very bumpy ride, if we can make 3/4 quality additions in the next 15 days things could be different... but really new players benefit from having time to get to know their team-mates, gaffer and to get properly integrated tactically - we're so far behind it's ridiculous. -

City are looking to loan Liam Delap out… really hope we at least ask about him, next to no chance of it happening but y’know, worth a punt… -

Or 10 minutes into the Celtic game on Saturday... expecting a pasting. -

Shock, Middlesbrough are now linked with Davies... Call me petty... but I just f***ing hate them 🤣 Praying for them to flop this season -

On to the next then... Christ we really aren't going to sign anyone are we? The season starts in 16 days 😳 -

Looks like he's off to Chelsea... another one we've been trumped on. Sort it out Rovers! -

Let's hope they don't then! He's the one I really want us to push for, looks class from what i've seen - if BBD is sold surely we'd then be able to get this over the line. If we're after buying low and selling high, he's the type of player we should be snapping up. -

Was literally just commenting this - I think we'll only need more than one CB if we lose Ayala. With Wharton and Davies as our main pair we should be fine with Ayala (or a replacement if he goes), Carter and Phillips as backups. -

I've heard from a good source that he was indeed offered around 22k per week until 2025 -

If he'd be happy with less than 20k/pw then great - but how much would Liverpool expect for him with 3 years left on his contract? -

Ahh very handy cheers! I guess I can stop hoping for his name to pop up now then 🤣 -

You'd think so! I've been looking at a bunch of them who are in our price-range. Carlo Holse looks like a good'en from the clips i've seen, and scout reports suggest he's a talent. He's currently playing for Rosenberg and making peanuts even compared to what we could offer, contract expires in 2024 mind so they might want a few million. I hope they're (as expected) really scouring the Scandi' leagues in the background, there are some great prospects over there who'd probably jump at the chance to play under JDT, whilst receiving a decent pay bump too. -

Money like that on a loan would be madness... If we were looking to seriously push for promotion i'd get it, but aren't we expecting to have more of a transitional season? Money down the drain. -

Shane Long at 35 years old, no thank you 🤣 An extra striker could be handy, but we already have a natural bagger who (I believe) is going to be attracting offers of £10m+ this time next year... it's the year of the Vale! Speaking of which, does anyone know a site where I can stick a few quid on Jack Vale to score 15+ goals this season? Would consider doing similar for Markanday too. SkyBet doesn't seem to have such options -

Why does it matter that Davies and Wharton are both left-footed? Plenty of teams operate with 2 right-footed CB's... it's the same difference -

If he signs a contract extension I agree, but there's no chance he's gonna do that. £20m will massively help us on the FFP side of things, and I like to imagine at least some of that will be made available to reinvest in the squad. The money is of way more value to us than keeping him whilst he runs down his contract, plus he could revert back to plain old Brereton anytime. Take their money and run.
