My lad says his pace is 81 on Fifa if that means anything. If he joins hopefully it's as an attacking player rather than another left back. Who knows with this circus though.

Probably because he was playing against pub players.

Even Nixon hasn't got anything to make up about us today.

Yeah I've always thought if the 4 lads out of contract next summer Brittain, Travis, Tronstad, Hyam stick around then we'll be fairly competitive at this level next season i think. Couple of them leave though and replaced with inexperienced players then I think we could slide into huge trouble.

He's said that from day one. The reason Chaddy etc are trying to make out that it meant by the pre season camp is because the know there's absolutely no chance of this happening.

Another excuse. Players having holidays must only ever affect this club. Weird.

Posted this on the 22nd. Brittain "positive" contract talks and Sagnan in "advanced talks" lands on the 26th. Nearly 2 weeks later not another word uttered on either of them. All a smokescreen, nothing but predictable. Surely we all know how things work here now?

Of course it was. Advanced talks were laughable. Called it a few days before we were linked that a name would he dropped any time now as a distraction technique.

Confirmed in the venkys court thread, documents are in there.

No, he said he wanted 90% of business in by the time pre season training starts. Which is in around 2-3 weeks away.

I'm interested to see what kind of contracts any new permanent signings get this window considering that the whole first team squad is out of contract in the next two years.

All by design. There is no interest in negotiating new deals here. A first team player hasn't signed a new contact here since December 2023. Can probably more than halve the wages of them 4 by replacing them with a couple of low cost foreign signings.

Suhail is running it, as allegedly he always has done.

Even free transfers are out of the question here as they usually entail a bigger signing on fee. I imagine we'll start putting a few moves together in August like we did last year, loans, maybe free agents who haven't been snapped up yet that have lowered there demands etc.

That's because it won't, it was never a serious link. Just something to get the fans thinking that something was happening after the bad publicity of the whole Women's team debacle , and then the CEO leaving.

Selling Brittain for say £3m and getting in Dramaeh for £1m and less wages would be right up this lot's street. Cooney hasn't been credibly linked. Definitely either Trav or Tonstrad, Trav is my guess.

The club don't respond to them.

I imagine there will be plenty of suiters at Championship level for him just for this attribute alone. If we are in for him I just don't see him choosing us at all.

Just something the club told him to make it look like something is happening. I imagine we might have enquired, certainly don't think it was anywhere near "advanced talks" though.

Again, wait until he plays for a club with a "bigger" following. If he think's what he gets, even online here is stick then I pray for him if he ends up at one of the Scottish two, or a Sheffield Utd, Norwich etc.

Stanley away and Everton at Ewood added for pre season https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/june/03/everton-to-visit-ewood/

If he think's he gets stick here, wait until he signs for a "city" club or the like. He won't know what's hit him.

I've always thought the price should be the price and that's that. I bet we haven't even sold double figures since the price changed. I can sort of understand as a business decision at clubs that have supply and demand and can shift the seats regardless, but it's crazy to implement it here where there is no demand.

Gestede has, he wants 2-3000 minutes from academy players this season.

Sky Sports News saying nothing in Parkinson to us, he's happy there.
