It's all hearsay. Eustace just said there's 60 players on the recruitment list - we haven't heard 60 names in this thread.

I'm not sure he's a better CB. Looked shaky af when he lined up there last year.

Does this have anything to do with him being a Dane, managing Sweden and you being Norwegian?

Looks like the Blackpool GK, Grimshaw, is off to Plymouth - for £600k, apparently. Wonder if we're interested in Tickle at Wigan? He was on their list, but Wigan wanted too much.

They tallied 24 points last season.

I've never seen Berge have a good game.

He also very visibly gave up towards the end. He doubled down on his style of play, despite us having two dodgy GKs and nobody to play alongside Tronstad, which resulted in us shipping a load of goals. Kompany managed to finagle that into the Bayern Munich job. JDT had to settle for the Sweden job.

He lost me when he posted a video of himself, suited and booted at some sort of Players function, doing a synchronised first pump with Bennett. I wouldn't even cross the street to say hello to Bennett - an unbelievably mediocre player.

He said the 'project' had changed and he'd like to leave - a mutual termination of his contract where both parties walk away. The owners demanded he pay out the remaining money on his deal to leave, which he refused to do last summer. Obviously things came to a head in January and he did exactly that.

Yes. He paid to get out of his contract.

Yeesh, even on his highlights tape he just runs into blind alleys.

So is that another day that's drifted by without a serious link to a player? We really are in trouble, aren't we?

JDT's body wasn't even cold and Brittain was cheering from the rafters. We've got a funny bunch in that changing room.

It already has.

It'd be a brutal season if we only sign a GK.

I'm ok with that to be honest.

He's turning into a bit of a crock if he's injured again.

Or the deal as fallen through and he's trying to save face.

I'd love to know who your source is. This sounds like water cooler griping from the recruitment team. "Bloody manager, wants a say in who we sign. Who does he think he is?"

He's shafting my enjoyment of Blackburn Rovers, if that helps? Clearly a terrible coach, but a symptom of a wider problem.

I gather they lease out the catering to an external company, so they don't make much money from concessions. Baffling business decision I know, but that's Rovers for you.

He has - apparently he's looked bright. He's training with the first team if the video they've just released on Twitter is anything to go by (unless we have another black lad that can speak French - 'cos someone walked out of the changing rooms deep in conversation with Gueye).

A cut above Blackburn Rovers? Good lord.

Stansfield would be a massive upgrade over Sigurdsson and Dolan as the #10 - but obviously we're not paying £6m for him.

Raya had a massive mistake in him every game when he was at Rovers. I don't watch him enough to know if he's eliminated that from his game, but I assume he has for the money he's been sold for.
