That came from Norway, and I don't believe it or disbelieve it, I'd much rather we got him for free. I'm simply asking the question where it came from ?

I know what you mean, it looks to me having watched him the grand total of once, that they see Jorgensen on the right, Cleary on the left and Gudjonson middle,with Ohashi wherever. It would appear to be a plan, who knows ?

Where has it come from ?

Of the 2,I'd choose Pickering every time, but Cashin played well yesterday and he's staying in on that form. Not really buying the has to play story, especially after being dropped at Swansea after his terrible debut.

He didn't, he said not prepared to pay the "going rate" for Championship players, which I took as fees. Take your point though,fair comment.

The amount wasn't the point really, it was Rev asking why Rovers won't spend money on Championship players. The problem is, everyone wants them to spend money on players, then when they (supposedly) do, nobody believes it anyway because it doesn't fit the narrative. It's all a bit of a pointless conversation.

That's why I quoted their end. Let's spin it on it's head, Bodo say undisclosed and Rovers say £3 million?

Tin hat on for this one, but according to the Norwegian end, they paid £3 million for Jorgensen. Does money have to be spent on a Lyndon Dykes for it to be acknowledged ?

What a strange reply, you ask me why they won't spend money, then when I answer what they would say, you laugh🤷

What they'd tell you is, that isn't the plan,as well you know.

Oh, I'd wish they'd go tomorrow. If someone has the money and the will to take us on they can step forward this week. They can see the situation, there is literally nothing stopping them making an approach, that's if someone hasn't done so already, and has been turned down.

Don't see it that way whatsoever, but there you go. It may well have worked with other owners, but it's the difference between wanting to and having to.

All part of the same issue, the problem is Venkys aren't a distressed seller,which then influences any approach from a potential buyer. If someone comes in now, I'd be confident that they had the funds and will required. If Venkys were forced to just get rid of the club, I'd be extremely worried about any potential takeover. As I said the other week, the club doesn't have to be put up for sale for someone to buy it, a takeover in that situation would be much more preferable.

I genuinely don't know the answer to this,but how wealthy were the owners of the clubs which have been recently taken over? To me there are 2 main reasons that clubs are sold, either the owners want to sell or they have to sell. I don't see Venkys falling into either category, certainly not the second one.

If the table doesn't lie, there aren't many better than Watford.

Final ball or not, he gets us up the pitch and generally makes the other team restart from a defensive position and allows Rovers to reset. It will be important as the relegation battle plays out.

Aye, good time to play them, that'll be it. It was a much better time for them to be playing us.

The wealth of the owners should be a positive, but when it comes to getting rid of them it is their wealth which is the biggest problem. The problem here is that they don't actually need to sell, which is why comparisons with Chansiri and Oyston are missing the point. Their wealth will also deter potential buyers looking for a good deal,you can't bully someone financially if they're richer than you are.

Improvement in performance will, in the end, bring improvement in results. We're still in January.

No,but a definite improvement. No need to point to the negative every time eh? Still looked decidedly toothless with Ohashi needing a rest and the top scorer out, but who wouldn't miss their top scorer. One the whole, thoroughly deserved a draw against a team in decent form,and a comeback draw at that.

Aye, got players back and played better, who'd a thought it ? Badly missing Gudjonson, if only to give Ohashi a break. I'd be desperately trying to get a left winger in though, as well as the other forward he's after.

Didn't seem much, if any different to the last couple of home games.

I'm assuming you've managed to miss the sarcasm

Whether anyone agrees with anyone else, it's nice to actually have a chance to debate a line up.

That's footballiI suppose , I was calling for Forshaw to start after the Swansea game.
