Blackburn Rovers are interested in signing Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Robbie Burton. Blackburn Rovers interested in Dinamo Zagreb midfielder formerly of Arsenal - LancsLive

Do you know that they don't take an interest now? without any of us knowing what their motives are and why they continue to finance the club. Is it Venkys now or Just Balaji that's the main interest in Rovers? That's what Wharton was saying 4 days to the Rovers website. Wharton: I'm in a good place | rovers.co.uk

Players playing without fear and past experiences of past failure to kick on and get top 6. Looking at the current squad without any signings, my starting team for the 1st game I would play this Kaminski Nyambe Lenihan Ayala Pickering Travis new DM signing JRC Buckley Brereton Armstrong Like I keep saying I would like Mowbray replacing and I don't know how much clearer I can be. But Balaji has decide to stick with him so we start the season with him but if we start badly in the first 10 games I can see him being replace Like I said yesterday about this comment. He is talking out of his arse and needs to talking BS like this. Clear enough? This is just example of how we could involve a player within any deal for Armstrong If Norwich offer 12 million plus Idah. Newcastle would be entitled to 40% of any profit above the 3 mil we paid. So they would get 40% of 9 million which is 3.6 million leaving us 8.4 million from the deal. I will just say this to be clear this is just an example Idah has scored 3 goals in the championship and 3 goals in the FA cup. so thats 6 goals in 32 games which 17 games were in championship, 3 in the FA Cup and 12 in the PL. You werent certain that Armstrong would produce the goals as a striker when he was moved there from the wing. I suggested it and I am delighted with the amount of goals Armstrong has scored for my club.

For me, There is players to be optimistic about like JRC, Dolan, Buckley, Travis, Pickering to watch and perform in a Blue and White shirt. Getting rid of the deadwood and bringing in young players is a good way to go. Don't want to see Armstrong go but its very likely he goes and we need to bring in a good replacement whether its Woodrow or Yates or Healey or someone like Idah from Norwich if we get him as part of Armstrong transfer for example.

This was reported a few weeks ago that Southampton would send a player here on loan. The player was Michael Obafemi if I remember correctly

why do we need more 4 or 5 signings. We have good young players coming through like JRC, Carter, Pike, Dolan so play them and used them. This is perfect opportunity to play them and let them cement the place in the starting 11/match day squad. why the hell do we need 6 centre backs and wasting more money with signings we don't need. Wharton will be back in September and We have Carter so use him in the match day squad. Maybe 1 signing at best. But I would rather play Wharton and Carter then just make a signing for the sake of it. In January both were out long term and then we need 2 signings then. Not the case now. Hardly a problem cos you need a back up player there for your first choice left back Pickering so you would sign a replacement even if he isn't sold. I wouldn't be signing a striker unless we sold Armstrong. We have Gallagher, Brereton, McBride and Vale. why not? McBride has performed well enough for the under 23's so why not use in the first team otherwise we might aswell get rid of the under 23's and the academy then if you aren't going to them after perform well enough in games. whats the point in re-signing him if we are going to use him. I wasn't in favour of re-signing him in the 1st place any many of these free agents who you wanted to sign here and have the quality we want and need? can you name them and who they did sign for? very different issue and something I was angry about from day one and posted on here that I was against the restructing of the training ground/academy tranaing ground plus signing Rev's letter about it. Did you forget my stance on that?

None of know much about what the current situation is.\ The EFL doesn't want to go public with any teams. Why not? Hopefully we find more about the situation is this week

I have no idea why the club need to go away from our Brockhall training base. I can see the benefit of an overseas training camp in Austria for 10 days or so but with current restrictions in place what's the point?

how can the club comment when it's appears the EFL haven't decide on anything from what it looks like apart from Derby County and them not getting relegation for breaking the rules?

Why do constant believe we haven't JH? any story from anyone is another conspiracy theory from you.

No wonder you aren't interested cos you would keep players who need to leave and replace them. We only need 4/5 signings this summer and no more. left side wide player, centre midfielder, back up left back and centre back depending on Ayala fitness issues. The Current Squad. GK- Kaminski, Pears, Stergiakis, Eastham RB- Nyambe, Pike CB, Lenihan, Ayala, Carter, Wharton, possible new signjng LB - Pickering, back up left back CM- Travis, Buckley, Davenport, Johnson, Rothwell, new DM signing RW- JRC, Dolan LW- New signing, Chapman ST- Armstrong(or his replacement), Gallagher, Brereton, Vale, McBride So do we need any more than 4 or 5 signings? Did I not just say we have sell Armstrong if he won't sign a new contract and use that money for replacement. I named who I would be targeting. I disagree with that. Why keep Bennett or Evans when we need to move on from them. No point keeping them at all. apart from waste money on wages.

Cos the EFL are clueless. Owners should be allow to invested in their own club with own money without any restrictions or sanctions. But the 3 PL relegation clubs will spend millions after millions to get back up at the first attempt with any of these it's seems that the EFL haven't decide what they are but it appears that at least 10 clubs with face some sort of restrictions this summer. But its appears that the EFL won't go public with the teams yet or if at all. So much for the fans

Apart from the 2 loans of Elliott and THB we won't miss any of them. Would you have kept any of the out of contract players then and why? I'm pleased we let the lot go and we can rebuild through a few signings and playing more of up and coming players like JRC, Dolan, Carter, etc. And if Nyambe, Rothwell and Armstrong won't sign new contracts then I would sell them and buy replacements. Here are one suggestion for each position. Right back. Dion Sanderson. Impressed me at Cardiff during his loan spell there. Centre midfielder. Joe Powell. Striker. Cauley Woodrow from Barnsley. Been impressed by him for the past 2 seasons.

Thats where this FFP is bollocks and needs scraping. If owners want to in their clubs through their own money then whats the problem?

as I posted in the Championship 21/22 thread its appears that a number of EFL clubs will be under certain transfer restrictions but it seems that the EFL won't go public with a list of clubs but keep it private

It appears that a number of EFL Clubs will face tighter restrictions on transfers. Derby and Sheff Wed but likely to be others. Don't know if Rovers will be one. But it appears that the EFL won't go public with who these clubs are.

nothing to do with our head of recruitment so stop with the obsess. I just find a strange move for Johnson leaving Blackpool for SPL team like Aberdeen. With Blackpool in the championship and looking forward under Neil Critchley

Thanks @rigger and @riverholmes for the replies. I hope that Brereton comes back and perform even better than last season

Former Rovers head of recruitment Tommy Johnson leaves his position as Blackpool head or recruitment today for possible a more to Aberdeen. Tommy Johnson leaves Blackpool role amid links to Aberdeen (eveningexpress.co.uk)

Stoke set to sign Vrancic from Norwich City on a free transfer. Thats a good signing for them. I wonder if Rovers will look at Tyybull again if Norwich cancel his contract.

I ain't accusing you because its a fact. 13 times you have mention about the head of recruitment in the past 4 weeks

Well if we are signing him then surely we won't play playing possession based football but looking to the back wide and get crosses into the box. Not a player I hope we sign. Do we need another striker if we are planning 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 with Armstrong, Gallagher, Brereton and possible McBride. Surely we need a wide left player, centre midfielder and centre back. Then a back up left back for Pickering who will be our first choice left back
