  1. Well technically the story says they've enquired. ie they'll be asking if he's available and how much we want for him. They're not going to offer a fee we'd be happy with.
  2. Giles was wasted here because Mowbray insisted on playing him as a RW, then evidently fell out with him. If Boro want to stump up £5m+ for Gallagher and take his wages off our books I'm sure JDT would be interested (if he gets to use the full transfer fee to replace him). We know what Gallagher is about as a player.
  3. I would never describe anyone at Ewood Park as Machiavellian. You're giving them far too much credit.
  4. Nixon thinks Magloire is being linked away? I mean he's not Championship quality, but bloody hell we won't be able to field a team soon!
  5. I suspect that's a big reason why Mowbray and his chums were let go. You didn't mention the horrendous deals given to Pears (and transfer fee, reported to be circa £400k), Smallwood and Gladwin. Just money thrown down the drain.
  6. He looked crap against Birmingham - far too slow.
  7. Not if our starting FBs are Pickering and Brown / Pike we won't. I don't think JRC is a RB either, but he played him there against Celtic.
  8. Maybe, but currently he's got a choice of Brown, Carter, JRC and Pike... so he's fucked.
  9. We don't currently have a Championship quality RB on the books, so that's a brave stance from Rovers.
  10. 6 weeks? We don't have starting FBs for the beginning of the season in 2 weeks!
  11. Our last manager couldn't even get a phone call from the owners. Who the hell is whispering the deep, dark truth to you? 🤣
  12. I want a refund on my season ticket if he signs for Wigan.
  13. Exactly, not training with his new team - so he'll be behind the eight ball.
  14. Why would he purposefully miss pre-season training?
  15. He talks a good game and he's got all the qualifications. He's not just a chancer.
  16. Without question it's been worth every penny.
  17. If Spurs / Utd etc are interested and he has no loyalty to Rovers then there's nothing we can offer him that they can't blow out of the water.
  18. From what I've seen of the Rovers graduates that have come from other Academies, they're failed ones that we've identified and given a second chance to - JRC, Travis etc. We're not stealing the cream of their crop.
  19. To be fair if FM is anything to go by there's a ton of clauses in such contracts that benefit the club that made him - x amount after so many first team appearances, x amount of transfer profit etc. It's just all on the never never and doesn't benefit us now if he walks.
  20. I THINK they're in for 3-4 quality players, with the rest of the squad being filled out by Academy graduates... which realistically is how it always should have been at this level. If they're not being backed to get those 3-4 players then they'll both walk - they're both qualified and ambitious enough to land good jobs elsewhere. Mowbray was always backed, so hopefully this silence is just them doing their due diligence on the right players, rather than there being no money available.
  21. And he's currently surplus to requirements, having never played a game for them in 2 years.
  22. However do most teams manage with two right footers at the back?!
  23. He's not worth £4m, that's an absurd price. Rangers have been mugged there - Liverpool bought him for £1.6m and he never played a game for them. He's not suddenly become twice the player.
