I could make up some interesting ones if you like.

I've heard that Luca Toni has been seen at Ewood.

Im actually of the belief that our current plight is purely down to the manager. The owners backed him and gave him time, he spoke of "journeys", yet here we are with 11 players gone, no clear direction on our style of play and no signings in 

They backed another clown, unfortunately

Any chance of a list of the players that have gone for an "out of thouch" fan?

I'm in 2023 of my Rovers save on FM20 on PC. I went straight up, with 5th in the first Prem season and 3rd in the second. Currently sitting at 3rd, 1 point behind 1st.

Of the "original" squad only Nyambe at right back and Arma up front are regular starters. (Tosin I bought on the cheap after the first season in the Prem) Dack just got pushed to the bench by Martin Ødegaard (I'm in that transfer window currently).

Lenihan and Travis are regular subs. I sold of the 

Currently alternating between a 4- 3-1-2 with 3 central midfielder and 2 Advanced forwards, and a 4-2-3-1 with inverted wingers. Using the latter very seldom as I really dont have any good wingers outside of Arma, and he has consistently been a 25 goal Advanced Forward.

I want to play the formation with wingers more, but, I have so many good and great MCs, and as said no so many good wingers. 

Some great buys, I've had;

Koni De Winter for left back

Sergio Gomes, Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham for MC

Wilfried Gnonto for Strikers

Tosin, Marco Kana and Valentin Antov for stoppers.

I'm at work now, so can't post any screenshots.

I normally favour a 3 DC back line, but in FM20 this has made me leak goals. Have any of you sucessfully implemented a 3 defender tactic?

We done well with Norwegian players over the years. Henning Berg, Martin Andersen, Morten Gamst Pedersen, Josh King. 

And Lars Bohinen, Tore Pedersen, Egil Ølstenstad, Stig Inge Bjørnebye.

Rovers have had quite a lot of norwegians on the books.

When was the last time a local player did well for us apart from Dunny?

Phil Jones?

I remember watching John Carew as a gangly 17 year old, score a hattrick and then get subbed for having cramp.  Thought he was amazing and remember Caretaker Tony Parkes saying he was too much of a risk for the money they were asking.   Please tell me I dreamt this and we didnt pass up this golden opportunity,

As far as i can remember, Carew did have a trial/training stay at Rovers when he was young.

Sorry for bringing up an old thread, but this case is far from over, it seems.

The Director of Football (or something like that) at FC Lyn Oslo at the time of the Mikel tranfer, Morgan Andersen has now been charged with forgeing the contract that made Mikel a Lyn player.

This could possibly have severe concequences for the player I think. Perhaps his transfer to Man Utd, and subsequently his transfer to Chelsea could be illegal.

Mr Anderson faces the possibility for 2 years imprisonment for his actions, if found guilty. As for FC Lyn, there is some debate around the possible consequences.

The daft part is to give managers an incentive to sell the best players.

Benni happy at Rovers

Oh dear, he's bound to leave now...

Everytime a player is "happy at a club" i get the impression there is something going on behind the scenes. I hope not, and I hope the feeling of "he's leaving" is just down to my paranoia over such stories.

For someone who's just gotten one of their most important players injured with a legbreak, you lot seem awfully amused by an injury. He was loyal to us for 5 good years, then felt he needed a new challenge. Doesn't really matter to me where he left, the result is still the same - no Lucas Neill playing for Blackburn Rovers. So get a grip folks, I too enjoy West Ham losing, but I'll never enjoy an injury to a player, and at least not to an ex-Rover.

I agree with you herbergeehh

However I think the rejoicing isn't due to Lucas' injury, but mot down to the fact that it appears that the grass wasn't greener on the other side.

That said, to applaud an injury to a player isn't something we, as supporters, should do.

Lucas who????????????

George?

jan molby did

I stand corrected

I just came up with a conspiracy theory concering the Dunn deal.

What if Rovers were letting Notlob do the "special" medical test, thus getting a second opinion.

God I dont hope so. Apart from the fact we need a midfielder and Dunn is a Rovers lad there is nothing, nothing, nothing that could argue the sense of paying 2 mills for dunn. Compare that to the 2,5 we got Benni for and you will see how ridiculous the fee for Dunns is!!!

It seems there have been sort of a mass psychosis on this board since Bolton entered the frame. Imean just look at how everyone describes Dunn over the past years on this message board. Nothing suggest that we'd be happy to have him back. Let alone pay 2 mills pound for him.

We are on a tight budget for gods sake. We cant bring in a decent left back for £1mill, but Dunny for 2 is ok? ARGH!

Wasn't the Bolton deal

750 up front

250 if Brum is promoted (wtf?)

1 mill after 50 apps by Dunn.

That is not 2 mill for an unfit player, its at most 1 mill for unfit player. An unfit player won't play 50 games.

Nelsen/Ooijer.

But Andy Todd and Zurab will also be lurking around there and we will soon have one of the tighest defences in the league shortly. Can't wait until it happens!!

Great to have Nelsen back, but i fear that we'll not see the Admiral of olden times until late in this season.

He's ben sidelined for half a season, and will need several games to get match fit and get his form back. It may, unfortunatly, be many a game until he's back to his best.

But then again, even a semi-fit Admiral si better than most defenders.

Don't see anything wrong with what he's saying..

In my opinion there are certain elements of this board that gets on players backs and no matter what the player does/doesn't do he gets slated for it.

It seems that it has been descided in advance that whatever that player happens to say or do its bad.

I'm not trying to take a dig at anybody, but that is the impression I've gotten on these boards the last few years.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

He's a good player and will get better for us i am sure if we give him the service i am sure he will start scoring the goals for us

Which is a problem due to our midfield not being at the top of their game, to say the least.

MGP - off form

Sav - injured

Reid - injured

Tugs - still a magician, but getting on a bit. If only he'd been 10 years younger, or 5 for that matter

Bentley seems the only midfielder firing on all sylinder s ATM

And in defence

Nelsen - injured

Neill - now injured

Bert MKII - injured

Oojier - nightmare start, will come good i think

Lets hope we can produce this in the Prem

Not the first half please

Seems like MGP is contributing again, at least on the attacking side of the game,

And Benni scores!3-0

From what I can read from the text commentary, I'm not overly confident that we'll win this one....

Toogs! 1-0

Do you have to bring this rubbish up after every time England play poorly?

England lost because they were rubbish! Nothing to do with 'talk', nothing to do with 'hype'...they were just crap!

He is right though...

I've always been fond of the English team, but the latest years it, and the players, have been vastly overrated and hyped by the English media.

I'm sorry to say, fact is that England is not at the top of european football,

Yes make the abroad monkeys pay....... after all they dont exactly donate as much to the club do they.... and before they go on about thier £1000+ pilgrimages - money to airlines doesn't exactly count.

Why excactly doesn't that money count?

Does the foreign fan not pay it?

2 - 1 final

Good comeback by Rovers

You couldn't leave it at just that, could you?

It would be really nice to get another goal and be comfortable.

GOPOOOOOOOOAAALLLLLL

I guess Bentley reads this board

Mokoena, Nelsen, Nonda? Ever heard of them prior to Mark Hughes? Na me neither to be honest.

You'd never heard of Nonda?
