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

I haven't seen of Brereton playing for Chile, so I can asked people who have watched games where has he been playing and how good as his performances been? Now looking at him in Blackburn Rovers shirt where would you play him and how can we get the best out of him?

another bizarre post containing more false comments. Nowhere have I said the club can do no wrong. I posted my unhappiness at the club new kits not being unveil yet and this delay, I said season tickets should have been on sale weeks ago, I said we should have appoint a new head of recruitment by now(but I don't keep posting about it daily to get my posting count up). On signings, until we can sorted out with the EFL whether we out of embargo or not, or facing other problems we won't be making them. But the EFL are as always slow and dithering as per usual

The club and Mowbray have already said that the new head of recruitment wouldn't have much of impact on this window as the work on this windows signings has already been done. thats why we have recruitment team including scouts, data analysis people and video analysis people. Did you miss this?

Good for you. It should be the target for Mowbray and anything else is simply not good enough. I see no reason why with 2 or 3 quality signings and we keep Armstrong why we shouldn't targeting and getting top 6. Mowbray has built this squad and can't have any more excuses now. Where did I say it didn't matter? Not what I said but I said I'm bored of you keep going on and on about daily.

He has months to plan this summer recruitment and has everything in his favour. He got the recruitment strategy and structure he wanted. No short Summer break, pandemic under control. I'm not confusing anything. We should be targeting the playoffs every season I think we need 1 or 2 more experience but we have plenty of players with experience in terms of games appearances like Kaminski, Nyambe, Lenihan, Travis, Pickering, Ayala, Wharton, Johnson, Rothwell, Armstrong, Gallagher. I've have mention Mowbray's transfer businesses over the 2 years not fitting a plan at all or the tactics he wants to pĺay. Glad to see you agreeing with me

You mention Barnsley having a structure and they do have recruitment policy of signing players 24 and under. When I.mention us having some sort of similar policy you were against.. change your opinion on this? Cos he has too. Last season he didnt perform well enough and should have paid the price with his job last season. He cant have any more excuses this season now like shorter summer period or the pandemic or anything else? Last season we should finish in the top 6 given the backing he has had and last season in terms of wage budget for signings. And in transfers fees in the past 2 seasons before last. This is his squad now Change the record. You just keep going on and on this head of recruitment position.
