Agree there. My thoughts exactly

No-one is being dismissive of him but I won't be dropping or rotating either Hedges or Szmodics. Both have been performing so I see no reason to bring Dack unless either are injury or not fit.

Invest some and put some towards FFP. A balance and sensible approach

I think you would ideally bring in someone Veljko Birmancevic to play wide then sign a striker like Rhys Healey from Toulouse who suits the pressing forward role

I'm Rovers fan at the end of the day and I want to win, but far too many people suggested Dack on the basis he is our best player from nearly 3 years ago. Since then we have other players who are best and key players now Kaminski, Ayala, Buckley, Travis, and BBD..

And you got to accept that some of that money has to go on paying the debt off each season. That has we become more self sustainable and less reliant on their money. The Armstrong money went towards fill the hole in the FFP allowing us this season to invest in the squad. Plus Mowbray had 5 million to spend in January and didn't

All 3 rejected very good contract offers to stay here including Nyambe who gone to Wigan as back up player, Lenihan to Boro which seems a poor move considering where both clubs are in the league currently. He has basically said what I've been telling you yesterday it's a club decision and not just down to one person like you keep suggesting which is not how most football clubs are run. Busy bringing players in, talking to agents and clubs, hiring new staff, etc Up it to 12 million plus 4 or 5 million in adds on's then a deal can be done.

Look at JDT's comments from LT article today where he says "Asked about the decision-making process over Brereton’s future, Tomasson told the Lancashire Telegraph: “The owners are important in that decision-making and those who run the club on a daily basis, Steve (Waggott), Suhail (Pasha) and Gregg (Broughton) who are important in that." https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/20666499.blackburn-rovers-ben-brereton-diaz-transfer-contingency-plan/ You disagree with JDT? Well we will only find out by him playing the games. Why are you even mentioning it when it's not a problem at all? JDT seems very relaxed about it all Double it and we accept it. Also surprised if he wants to go there but European football also there. Agrees. Gregg Broughton shouldn't be given a running commentary on transfers right now. He will do interviews after the window finishes.

Was a very good player. That based on over 2 and half years ago form

No Jim, what we need is quality signings that JDT and Rovers not just paying over the odds for players. You don't need millions to get promotion but have proper footballing strategy which Rovers have got now and JDT keeps saying this project in most interviews he has done here No Jim it's called basically common sense clearly you can't understand that then. 🤔

Phone automatically correct the word. Meant Cramp now correct for you all

But according to several different people who have all posted similar stuff that we have money to spend in January but Mowbray didn't spend it. Mowbray should take full responsible for our failure to get at least playoff place cos he had money to spend. Plenty of players we could sign. I didn't people would posted false stories on here but he did. Your all attitude about the only person who decide who we sign or sell is like a football manager mentality but real football and most football clubs don't work that way any more Those days have gone. Do you not accept this that the club made the decisions on transfers in and out, and it is not the sole responsible of the head coach or manager to make their decisions? I really hope you are proven wrong JH! We sign players when we can and bring in quality over just average squad players like we seen before. JDT wants quality signings and understand they time to bring in. JDT seems to back the club approach and seems more than happy with it. Your point about bring feeling aggrieved seems you trying to make problems that aren't there. I would be more than comfortable given Phillips a run of games given his very good performance on Sunday where he was comfortable all game until he got cramp. Its confirm to me he is ready to play his part in the first team this season like I said he would be. Haven't we spend about 1 million on Brittain and around 2.5 on Szmodics so its shows Money is there and JDT and Broughton have both said we have money to spend, so maybe look at those quotes Jim? Its common sense that Brighton would need a centre back given that they back 3 and have 5 CB's including Van Hecke currently so would need a replacement for Van Hecke otherwise they wouldn't let go.

why you making changing Dack for Szmodics then?

Won't get a work permit. Nowhere near enough points to even to close to work permit

4500

well the week to go to putting them on open sales makes sense really given that its league cup game. I see your point if we were talking about a league game I totally get it.

@JHRover

I don't know the full ins and out of the situation but I have to been on the rovers ticket site and I can buy 2 tickets for the Bradford cup game very easily

it appears the deal is all but done but on hold due to Liverpool centre back injuries crisis

exactly Phili. The club makes the decision not the manager or head coach. The days when managers make the decisions like Brian Clough did or Sir Alex Ferguson are gone. Why don't believe what Phili is saying? do you have any info that can say he is wrong or just your usual attitude when people post what they have been told? Maybe you should trust people info more This is real football and the club made the decisions on transfers and that including owners being involve in the decision as much as the head coach or managers, Director of Football and CEO of the club. That is how football club works and this isn't playing the game Football Manager on your PC where you make the decisions all yourselves.

Matty is right cos Bradford are selling them directly so Rovers, Waggott or the 1875 membership isn't at fault for this.

Very interesting and wise comments from JDT and I take from that we won't be signing squad players but players who will add quality to the squad but we need to patient while we continue to do this.

Very interesting that and Thanks for sharing the info you have. Very much apprenticed and welcome by all of us. That will be good to see and hopefully we see good signings being made maybe a agreement is done but Liverpool won't release him until they get centre backs fit which means its all waiting game who says we haven't got the money? Brighton would need another centre back signing before they sold Van Hecke anyway. Its abit of waiting game if looking to sign players from PL cos they won't release they yet either cos they want replacements in first or injuries meaning they keep hold of them for the minute.
