Nice, any good mate?

Saw that earlier - sounds like they've sold it to him based on the fact that he'll go straight into their senior squad. Fair play to the lad!

What day did Suhail go to discuss budgets with the owners? Things just always seem to take yonks here... that could've easily been done via Zoom. Thank god the Euros are on for now! As this is likely to be a very shite window.

Couldn't agree more... though there's a good chance he'll end up being our marquee signing of the summer with this lot at the helm.

Incredibly underwhelming, we'll struggle to get to the quarters playing like that! The squad has bags of talent, but a god awful coach - how on earth did he ever get the job? This team would be different gravy under a proper coach, Graham Potter should have been brought in for this IMO. One thing is becoming more and more clear for this England squad... Adam Wharton is inevitable. We'd have won 3-0 if he played 90 last night.

Not for us 😒

Will probably be about £300k at best i'd imagine... enough to cover a couple of fancy holidays for Balaji and his side-boob.

Couldn't help but notice that Sammie's Twitter images have now been updated with Ireland ones, after his 2 games with them... talk about prepping for a swift exit 😅

Tbf i'm pretty sure it was that muppet Alan Nixon who used this 'Guru' term originally... highly doubt it'll have come from within the Club, despite how moronic they may be.

Correct. Sammie's 27 goals were very close to being completely irrelevant, thanks to the numerous howlers by Pears and Wahlstedt.

Window opens in 2 days and we still haven't even taken John Park on as Head of Recruitment... who's been nailed on to get it for weeks. Things are also now stalling with this Adam Owen chap as Technical Director... plus we still haven't replaced the scouts who recently left. It's all part of the plan isn't it? They'll try and drag it all out as long as they can - since the reality is that they can't do anything in the market until after the August court date. I mean, obviously the owners are dying to spend some of the millions we've brought in - but they can't! Not without a Head of Recruitment, without Scouts, without a "Technical Director"... right? Absolute shambles, we deserve better.

Apparently, Wednesday are close to signing Max Lowe on a free transfer… We need another RB, and should have been in for him… but our lot of muppets won’t go for anyone expecting more than £7k a week.

Aint it mad, that even the idea of us signing a decent free agent is wishful thinking nowadays. Marek Rodak, Josh Bowler, Aaron Connolly, Tyrese Campbell - all available as free agents, but all of them seem so far out of reach. Just thinking of the players we've had in the past... these lot couldn't lace their boots. Kills me seeing what they've done, and continue to do, to our Club.

I get exactly what you're saying, but it's just a bit of a stinker overall... A properly run Club in the same position would take the ~£1m from selling Wahlstedt, and put it towards the purchase of a top keeper who could be our #1 for years, like Daniel Iversen for example.

That'd be great! Only issue is, the money would simply disappear just like the rest... we'll end up with Ruddy on a free transfer regardless 🙄

It could be all bollocks, I really hope it is... if not, preparations for League One are clearly well underway.

Palmer over Saka, otherwise it's pretty much spot on!

Absolutely, around £2m in total i'll say - and not really on anyone who will immediately impact the first team. It'll be all about grabbing youngsters to develop and sell further down the line, which i'm generally on board with... but right now, the starting 11 is in critical need of reinforcements, our Championship status depends on it.

I 100% get what you're saying regarding Maguire, but the thing is... he somehow turns into Maldini when he pulls an England shirt on 😂

"John Eustace is expected to work closely with Park and Waggott on Blackburn Rovers' recruitment this summer. The head coach is expected to have some funds available after the January sale of Adam Wharton." Above is what Jackson wrote, i've highlighted the key word there. JDT expected funds also. This is Rovers under the Venky's and Waggott... the only thing we should expect regarding funds, is that they'll provide way less than we need, if anything.

Would like to see us go with this for the first game against Serbia; Am I being biased towards Wharton? Yes, but also no... the boy is genuinely phenomenal.

Fully agree. In an ideal world, this would be the case for the majority of loanees. Only making exceptions for very highly rated young prospects who we'd never be able to afford (such as Elliott, Tosin etc).

Incredibly bittersweet. So proud of Adam, he's proved us all right and shown the world what we always knew he could do, huge things are on the horizon and i'm absolutely delighted for him. On the other hand I just can't shake this anger towards the owners and Waggott... Adam wanted to stay at the Club he loves, but was flogged on the cheap at the earliest convenience just to cover the bills for our dodgy negligent owners. What if JDT was properly backed in January 2023? If he was given funds to sign a good striker, and the O'brien deal wasn't botched... might we have been promoted? Might Adam have been playing for England right now, as a Rovers player? Might Bayern have been looking to offer north of £60m to us and not Palace? I'll never forgive them for many things, but this one possibly takes the top spot. Get the Venky's, Pasha and that disgusting little rat Waggott out of our Club.
