We're a more attractive proposition now in the Championship, if the owners would agree to sell us for our actual worth.

I'm actually quite excited about our transfer activity - and this is coming from a dyed in the wool Venky hater who isn't fond of Gestede at all. We're targeting big, athletic players - ones who are hungry (having come from smaller leagues so this is a pay rise). They're gambles and inexperienced in this league, but at least they're not jaded by ongoing contract talks. Loans are a literal waste of money unless you're desperately fighting against relegation or pushing for promotion e.g. Hull set fire to £1m + wages for 6 months of Louis Barry sat in their treatment room last year.

I think that's 3 starters and then 2 guys you only want to see come off the bench. We need another.

Sheffield United have been throwing money around this week. Good page to keep track of it all: Transfermarkt

Personally I would have quite liked to have built upon the squad that finished 7th last year, rather than dismantling it and starting again. Granted, that takes money which the owners refuse to provide.

So you're happy with him publicly running down the club at every opportunity?

Do you have another highlights video, cos the top one on YouTube doesn't show that at all!

Yep. Think they should split the difference between Gueye and Ohashi and get a quick striker that can run in behind.

Spending £5m on that lad would undo all of the thrifty work we've done in the summer.

Can someone please make up a transfer rumour?! It's got to the point where people are trawling through LinkedIn profiles of Rovers employees.

I think it was 'tanker' and he's ultimately proven to be right. Granted we've had anchors like him weighing us down.

I've got no problem with a Manager being about the players / his staff (heaven knows Eustace was!), just don't verbalise it! The fans will turn on you in a second.

Then have your say - don't put out cryptic "glad we're both out of there 🤪" posts on socials. That stuff happens in every walk of life and in every walk of life people move on for other jobs - as Brittain et al have done. A select handful have called them snakes, but then a select handful emailed the GM of the Miami Dolphins and wished his daughter died of cancer - so, y'know, there's nutters everywhere.

Who's said that?

Not a single sniff of a transfer rumour today...

Brought in that Spanish coach, no?

Eustace didn't like him either.

Massively overstayed his welcome, especially when it was clear he had zero ambition. Brought us some stability then should have been replaced.

That's because he's the only one in recent memory that has been good enough to care about.

Need a CM and a CF or we're relying heavily on a handful of players to stay fit / in form / hit the ground running.

He's been given chance after chance and failed to deliver. I'm delighted he's been shipped out.

Couldn't afford him. Will also never forgive him for hiding on the wing for 6 months.

I'm glad we're not paying money for loans - so we may look very attractive to PL clubs, but we wouldn't be at the front of the queue.

Pretty much. The amount of times in the last few years I've thought "man if there was just a CM making a run into the box here they have the freedom of Ewood to pick their spot in the back of the net". Hopefully one of the two CMs will push on now. I know Tavares wanted ten goal contributions this season...

Lots of those in this league.
