Well we broke 300 with all this excitement. Looks like the surface is ripe for spin. We are going to need it today. Anyone for oranges?

I guess a good tax loss for their overall business.

Everyone is always for sale. No offers of note I presume.

Here is an artificial intelligence response. Looks like Nicko’s job is safe for the moment. 🤣 Blackburn Rovers should look to sign players that can strengthen their squad in areas where they are currently weak. They could look to sign a creative midfielder to help provide more attacking options for the team, as well as a defender to provide more depth in the backline. They should also look to sign a reliable goalscorer to provide more support for top scorer Adam Armstrong. Additionally, Blackburn should look to sign young players with potential to develop into key players for the club in the future.

200 for 1. Tea is called. Let’s hope we can knock a couple more over before final day of play is over.

It is quite a risk knowing that your top scoring striker is leaving on a free and will still be motivated to give his all and risk injury in the dying months of his contract. we are going to need a target man before close of play if we are going to give our new signing something to aim for. Otherwise Gallagher it is.

There is a long term plan in place. Just not a short term plan in place.

Hope he doesn‘t know how to pass sideways.

He fancied him enough to make him captain. Probably not many alternatives at the time. I think being captain has cocked up his game. Take that burden off him and he may regain his form.

In the absence of anything remotely interesting happening on the transfer front, i have been dumpster diving on the theory of the tin foil hat for those waiting for page 200 to reveal our latest signings. “While the underlying concept is good, the typical foil helmet fails in design and execution. An effective Faraday cage fully encloses whatever it's shielding, but a helmet that doesn't fully cover the head doesn't fully protect it. If the helmet is designed or worn with a loose fit, radiofrequency electromagnetic radiation can still get up underneath the brim from below and reveal your innermost thoughts to the reptilian humanoids or the Bilderberg Group.” Credit: The Atlantic

Everything has been delegated or parcelled out so everyone can blame everyone else when magic doesn’t happen.

This whole transfer window for loan players is a lottery. Rovers identify a player who may be surplus to requirements > manager checking injuries to see if he needs back up > other clubs get involved > agent stick his/ her oar in to get the best feel for the player and himself/herself > player’s partner has a say in what they like > Rovers are doing the same thing with other players at other clubs to cover their bases> loan club then buys a player a week before the transfer closes and loan player is suddenly made available> Rovers need to ship a player out to pay for the incoming player> loan deal needs to be made with player/agent/club >medical etc Probably cheaper to go in early with a bid that is over what we would normally pay and get your man early and save thousands of man hours and admin costs Am I being simplistic?

“and George Hirst shot wide from a great position.” Dodged a bullet on that one.

Sound logic

Breezed through the century with a flash of the willow. And no sign of anyone new at the crease. Reality check. We are 5th in spite of ourselves. Our owners have stuck with the journey/project in spite of ourselves, when other owners have bankrupted their clubs or put them up for sale. For all of our frustrations we are not Wigan or Blackpool. We are not recent relatively recent Premier League teams struggling in this division. I hate watching us lose by ridiculous amounts to shitty teams. But I trust we will bring a few warriors to support our youngsters and steady the ship by page 300.

He knew what he was signing up for. Presumably he was given assurances of some sort. He hasn’t had a proper window yet. Let’s see what the crack recruitment regiment brings in.

The only way to stop the “Mowbray death spiral” rebranded the “JDT tumble” is to buy/ loan three rock solid proven players in defence, midfield, and attack. Games like these need ugly. Every pass backwards is 20 seconds less opportunity to score a goal. We need a few bruisers to push forward and to eek out draws and wins in an ugly way. I am also in a minority here I know I love Dack and on his day he is capable of magic but relying him to be the talisman these days is not a real option. We need real balance. Dack had an intuitive partnership with Danny Graham which yielded plenty of goals. We don't play Brereton or Gallagher as target men. We should, against teams like Rotherham

Ipswich beat this lot 4–1 last week. We are losing by 4. WTF

Masterclass in 25% possession and accurate long range shooting.

In fairness we are only page 76 I believe we need to get to page 300 before the real action starts. I think that if any of the big clubs came in with a bid of seven or 8 million for Brereton with a really good target man replacement we would give that serious consideration . The question is who could be an attractive makeweight in such a deal?

Looks like Liverpool see something in Tyler that some on the thread don’t. https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/liverpool-talent-signs-new-contract-25950713

We are shipping them out like its Amazon sale day. I hope the crack recruitment regiment have better replacements ready to come in. All we need are a few continental imports with work permit issues for a few months. Our squad is getting thinner than a Walls Neapolitan wafer.

https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1719419/Newcastle-transfer-news-Everton-Leeds-Championship-Ben-Brereton-Diaz-Premier-League So it looks like nobody is buying Diaz for 15 million quid. They will all pick him up on a free at the end of the year when alt least one may be in the championship. At a time when strikers are being signed for 4 times the money minimum, why risk missing out? As for us, Venkys are trusting that 15 million is worth sacrificing if we make the playoffs with Diaz goals. Good for them. We supposedly have an army of crack operators in the recruitment area. We should have had options lined up by now. Transfer chat could be another 300 pager before the shoe drops.
