Every chance they go down reading that article... Despite seeing 13 members of his first-team leave over the summer, Cook has made only two ‘new’ signings this summer – goalkeeper David Marshall and midfielder Lewis Macleod. He’s also brought in defender Antonee Robinson – who spent last season on loan at the DW – from Everton on a permanent basis.

Any chance of selling Mulgrew to a club at the level he should now be playing at went out the window in November when he signed an improved new deal to 2021. Scottish clubs (Celtic aside), as an example, won’t get close to matching his wages.

We must be starting a poor man’s version of the Chelsea loan system...

Thought he couldn’t even get in the side at Lincoln? A top end League 2 side at the time.

Maybe he’ll have a year out like Whittingham. Why not, ay!

To be fair not on here. LT below the line and Facebook groups very much so. ‘We need to be realistic we can’t compete with parachutes’ etc

What is so frustrating is as an attacking force I think we are on the verge of something special. Every chance this opportunity is thrown away because of his defensive blind spot. Things change so rapidly in this division, this season could be THE chance for the foreseeable, we spurn it, Dack goes Etc and it’s another ‘what might have been’, akin to the Rhodes/Gestede/Cairney et al season.

The odd lot to the west are obsessed as ever, I see. 6 page thread on our season tickets, more than the one on their own sales... https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/cheeky-plastics.3428475/page-5

Be delighted to see it. I think he’s a long way away personally and i’ve said so, but there would be nobody cheering those goals more than me at Ewood. Because you know, I want the best for Blackburn Rovers.

On the books since 6. He’s a Manc, I think

Club shop still haven’t sorted that damn photo of Harry Chapman!

You’ve not seen the defence?

‘Offensively’ to note attacking prowess is perfectly acceptable, in contrast to ‘offense’, the opposite of ‘DEEfense’ as the Americans like to use, which certainly is not, thanks though.

Offensively we are going to score plenty. Alas, that defence will be our downfall.

DE! Proper longer time member getting involved! Makes me almost feel bad for not putting my hand up... almost

2022

He’s 20 in couple of months, not 17-18, so time for him to make his mark.

The lad looks the real deal. I can only imagine it’s his slightness that counts against him. Year in League 1 to ‘toughen him up’ etc. I don’t particularly agree, but that must be the rationale.

Haven’t you used this before? I honestly couldn’t care where they find it, a hidden stash of Kean brown envelopes in the manager’s office, wherever. As long as those centre halves arrive.

Someone reckons what Waggott ACTUALLY meant was the total budget - fees and wages would be similar. Gallagher, Downing and Johnson must be on some wedge...

Still same 7. Nicko states that 6 out of the 7 have handed in their notice - guess who hasn’t?

So the striker money wasn’t spent on a striker, we used the Raya fee instead? Now we get to spend the striker money on a defender? Excellent.

And if people don't just get ‘100% behind the team and TM’ on an Internet forum with about 50 regular posters, instead they just post their opinion, that impacts the team how? Ewood? Get behind the lads. Here? Say what you want!

Course he will. Feel like I can’t remember a time he wasn’t crabbing around our midfield.

Things happen in the run up to a season, having a picture taken in a kit, probably in May doesn’t mean much.
