Good watch for any one who is interested in how recruitment work in the championship and has a Barnsley player analysis staff member on

I watched alot of the under 23 and 18 over the past 5 to 6 years until this lockdown prevent fans attending. The first time I watched Travis play I thought he will be one for the future for example. Players who are over 23's can play for under 23's like Dack and Ayala have done over the past 12 months so I don't see the point you are making tbh.

I would want to be playing regular first team football in my peak years This is where our recruitment and data analysing department should have already identify possible replacements for Armstrong. I would change tactics and formation from last year and go back to playing a bit directly and play JRC or Dolan or new wide players on the wingers and get crosses into the box. is he not refering to the Israel Gaza Palestine conflict?

It makes no sense to you but its depends what Armstrong wants and what Rovers wants. I not going to judge him on it cos we don't know the player or what his wishes are. for me, it depends on who we recruit this summer whether Armstrong stays or go and most of the championship clubs will be cutting back on wages and outgoings. Its going to challenging summer for most of this clubs at this level this summer. You got Boro and Bristol City looking to Luton striker James Collins being one of the transfer stories today

How many clubs would play the first team pro's in the league when you consider the number of games that the first team play each season? Did you used to watch the old reserve league style system before it was changed to the current format? How much of the current format have you watch over the past 5 or 6 years?

So Stuart, you haver no idea who we could target as possible replacement for Armstrong if we sold him? I gave a list a few weeks if not a couple of months ago. here is a link to the 6 players I suggested as possible Armstrong's replacements https://www.brfcs.com/forums/topic/33479-adam-armstrong/?do=findComment&comment=2181248 Shame you cant do it given all the footballing tools out there You have suggested we could get 3 gems with the Armstrong money but suggestion no names who these players are.

and who did Bournemouth buy this past season? They don't need a striker they need a quality manager. Yet again Brentford would have to sell to buy but is a very different type of striker to Toney tho. This i9s why I said I would keep Armstrong only if we could get him to sign a new contract unless we have to sell and replace him somehow. If we do sell it will be interest who we sign to replace him with. I have suggested to going back to playing 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 and playing with a target man and pacey striker in front 2 or goalscorer number 10 with a striker in 4-2-3-1. What do you think of that Idea?

Well lets see and what happens with Armstrong. I did say I would keep Armstrong here if he signs a new contract otherwise we have sell but get the price we want given that Newcastle get 40% of any money above 3 mil pounds we paid for him. Most Championship clubs will be cutting back on wages and fees they are paying this summer and it will only clubs who are relegated from PL or clubs who sell players before they buy. What Championship club apart from the 3 clubs relegated from PL who will be in the Championship this coming season can afford to buy him?

I agree he has played a blinder Mowbray if he stays on next season

Depends whether Armstrong is obsess by money or by playing football and scoring goals not sitting on the bench at a premier league club. Looks at Rhodes's career or Gestede's career or Marshall's career went after leaving Rovers I think its abit of both to be honest between his signings he made in the last 2 seasons, his obsession with this passing style philosophy without having the right players, his team selections and sticking with 4-3-3 when 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 looks the better option to me. Stuart, How do we replace Armstrong and his goals then? any suggestions of replacements?

We won't miss a 29 goals striker so Stuart who do we replace him and what he gives the team in terms of pace, movement and finishing ability? can you names any potential replacements for him? I would keep him if we can get him to sign a new long term contract

Guess it down to whether Armstrong wants to those PL clubs who are interested in him? and if we do sell how we replace him and play formation and style of play aswell without him?

Worth noting that Newcastle get 40% of any transfer fee above 3 million pounds so if clubs will only bid 10 million pounds? Would you sell for that? If we did sell for that then we would only 7 million pounds to spend so who are these 3 hidden gems and how to replace a 29 goals striker? Can you explain how we do this? Can you name players we could sign to replace his goals or would you change tactics and formation to make up for the loss like Move Gallagher up front and sign someone like Yates from Blackpool then play a front 2 for example surely another 20 goals this coming season and his stock will be higher surely? depends on the clubs who wants him and the role he will have there? Does Armstrong want to be sub player at West Ham or Brighton? Or would he prefer to play regular first team football and scoring goals here under a new contract? How is a 29 goals striker Armstrong overrated? can you explain that one? If we keep Armstrong and signed a new contract and sell Rothwell why are we going to struggle given the lack of impact Rothwell had on the team and performances last season? Are we going to really miss him? Surely it means more starts for John Buckley to fill the gap?

The Srivaddhanaprabha family since buying Leicester have been credit to the club, fans and the community

https://the72.co.uk/235814/blackburn-rovers-ready-to-sell-joe-rothwell-to-give-adam-armstrong-pay-rise/amp/?__twitter_impression=true I would be if favour of selling Rothwell if order to get Armstrong to sign a new contract. We can't replace his goals or the player like for like so it's a no brainer for me.

Bennett hasn't been offered any contract yet. I still think he will move to a club closer to home based in the Midlands

You are wrong on this point cos I mention Reach as potential signing in this thread back on the 14th March Apologise?

this shows he is just slightly ahead

delighted that Leicester won the final. Pleased for the Srivaddhanaprabha's family, Rodgers, the players and the fans. What the Srivaddhanaprabha family has done since becoming the Leicester owners in terms of investment in the club, investing in the area of Leicester and building such an impressive training ground plus an owner who is in touch with the fans and listen to them. Tielemans's goal was fantastic and deserved to win any final. Schmeichel made 2 great saves and shows why he is top quality keeper. VAR was used correctly to disallowed the Chelsea whilst I am no fan of the VAR system in Football it was spot on today but would the Linesman have given it offside if they had been no VAR in the game and its was great to see fans inside the stadium and enjoying the game

I agree with that being a strong right hand side of the team.

Adam Reach is out of contract and someone who would fit that role. Patrick Roberts could be another option on loan. Another name I will suggest is Bristol City left side midfielder Callum O'Dowda. JRC or Dolan on the right wing then.

I would be playing JRC or Brereton there or look for left footed wide player

Wouldn't be surprised if we announce the new kit supplier and launch the new shirts next week given the sales/reduced prices going on with the current kits this past week

Mowbray has always know what his budget after his meetings with owners. I don't know what communications he has had with the owners and Pasha about this coming season's budget. Hopefully a change still happens but I'm not counting on it currently

No surprise we have released Grayson or Mols. neither were ever going to break into the first team football here. I think Grayson might end up at Fleetwood under his dad and Dunn there. Don't see Mols playing any higher than league 2 football sadly. Pleased we have extended the registration for Pike, Burns and Barnes. Also a shout out to the work that Billy Barr has done with the under 23's this season and Mike Sheron with the under 18's this season. They deserved praised for the work and results they have achieved this season
