Really annoying that our recruitment team (whilst doing an otherwise sterling job on a shoestring) can't seem to get things over the line in time and wait until the very end of the window to do business.

Calling Fabrizio Romano a "wannabe ITK fud" 😂 Arguably the most trusted transfer news source in football.

Radical suggestion: we deliberately throw this game so we don't have to play in this pointless cup with our threadbare squad for basically no prize money (£100k for the winner).

And will never get out of that debt unless there is INVESTMENT to generate/sell assets. This is the fucking obvioushood that those in Pune and their stooges over here seem to be wilfully and bemusingly ignorant of.

Some absolutely inspirational work the recruitment team have done identifying half the Birmingham squad as targets this summer.

Would be idiotic to sell Buckley for the sake of a million pounds we will NEVER see reinvested back into the club. Especially when the right manager and management might still get a tune out of him (and raise his value much higher than that) when we already lack midfield options and creativity in the team.

is Matondo not just another Dolan?

As others have noted, has only played about 150 times in his career (in a much less physically demanding league) and before 22 was playing only semi-professionally for his university - might be like Vardy and have quite a few years left in him past 30 (one can hope).

What a name!

Unfortunately seems to have all the agility and turning speed of an oil tanker.

PAOK is playing in Europe (possibly Champions League) this season and the club also has unbelievable support. I used to live with some Greek guys in a metal band who used to go to games just for the atmosphere (despite having no other interest in football)... Then again, Blackburn has The Mall, meat and potato pie and a canal (presumably full of bodies), so I know which one I'd be choosing!

Ah I see this is proof we aren't just signing youth players any more then (where do these bald lads play?)

Such a strange move, has been earning plaudits at Motherwell all season, plays in a position we lack quality/depth in, good at crossing and looked ready to jump to a (depleted) first team... and we've let him go for (seemingly) peanuts...? edit: Nonetheless, good luck to the lad

What's that? We;re averaging less than a hundred transfer thread pages per signing??

Happy clappers on FB are already in raptures about our "Brilliant new signings", none of whom they have ever seen play.

This squad could probably get to two finals on its own. Not saying Southgate is a bad manager, but my god, people are forgetting we've completely winged this (and the other tournaments) through blind luck and dismal football. We have an embarassment of riches at our disposal (and seemingly solvent in every position now with the emergence of Guehi, Konsa and Branthwaite at CB). We should be playing football that makes other teams afraid.

Remember seeing Daniel Sturridge and Micah Richards play at Ewood (in separate games) and thinking they both had something. Unfortunately both largely succumbed to injury

Wharton is definitely a patchy player, but is also a Rovers fan. Maybe we shouldn't be so quick to get rid of people who actually care about the club being succesful (particularly when their values influence the dressing room as well)

15% of profit is a fucking pisstake Read that again, a fucking pisstake!

Fully expect Pears to Barcelona at some point then

HERO

SAMMMMIEEEE!!!!

The 'football' we're playing is total fucking dross. No fight, no finesse, easy passes bouncing off men or going out We deserve to go down

It's just so maddening because you sometimes feel there IS a player in the likes of Pears, Hyam, Brittain, Dolan, Gallagher. All of them have been our MOTM several times, but nobody running the club seems to be able to get a consistent tune out of them. And as it is we have, respectively, a keeper who makes a part-time hobby of losing us games through completely avoidable howlers (two if you count Wahlstedt), a Duffy MK. 2 wannabe, a defender who can't defend (and can't be arsed), a winger with lightning quick feet but no brain and the most physically useless big lump ever to play target man in the football league.

Has a Championship team ever been relegated with the top scorer? I just have no words and no energy left for this pathetic heap of deadwood that we pay to wear the shirt every week. Where was the urgency after we went behind?
