Rich Sharpe explaining why we only want 6 signings

 

So basically we don’t replace payers with better quality players  we only replace them when they leave 🤔🤔🤔… and they they wonder why we keep finishing mid table

Amari’i Bell with an assist today for Luton. 
good for him. 

Signed on a free too .. we should have been all over that 🫣🫣

Once Hyam signs I would be happy to go with the C/B we have I really don’t see the need for another , if we are only making 3 signings I would say left back and for me I think we are a central midfielder light  , an experienced player who can come on in the last 10-15mins of a tight game and see it out , IF BBD goes then it goes without saying we will probably need 2 forward players signed

Sounds like someone has managed to create an auction for Breo.

Good that it drives the price up but bad that his loss is now inevitable.

Yes .. sky sports the other night the “desperate to leave” story … I still think that came from the club rather than player or agent

Mate of mine used to do that commute for years (Stopped in 2019), took 2hrs from Rossendale most days, M6/M56 was a nightmare, Stockport pyramid too. He actually packed the job in because of the commute in the end.

Unless you left at the crack of dawn and came home at 3pm you'd struggled.

Be interesting to hear if its still as bad, with more people working from home these days, good luck AJW.

Yeah can imagine that from rossendale , but from where I am it’s straight M65-M6 

Anybody travel from Blackburn to Warrington each day can advise on traffic conditions? 
working at another branch for a few weeks just wondering when is best/worse time to travel 

I have been offered. 8-5pm 8.30-5.30 pm or 9-6pm ..

I think he would be decent enough for us. 

But if he can't get a work permit, I don't know why any club from the championship would offer him a contract. Would just be a waste of time. From the calculator I think he gets 10 points, and you need minimum 15.

Slightly off subject but what about the Malmo Left Back Knudsen ? Is he any good ? Did he play under JDT

JPvH, SVDB, Styles & Bowler 🤞🏽

Then we replace BBD with another two forwards if he’s sold…🙌🏽

Bowlers deal is dead mate trust me , embarrassed ourselves there to club and player 

Alternative view … what if this latest story about BBD “determined to leave” is actually come from the club 
? … I’ve just seen the SSN 10 second article on it and it’s virtually a for sale sign .. 1 year left £10m rejected its almost saying to other clubs come and get him 

Gary Cahill on a short term deal ??

Just seen an article on SSN regarding Fulham vs Brentford and it showed their left back Joe Bryan scoring in playoff game couple seasons ago ,he seems to have disappeared hasn’t .. he would be a good loan signing at left back

Who do you find to replace a 20 goal striker?..... we wont....BBD has benefited from being here some years and now his best years to come....shame... even if we sell him for £15m I really cant see who would replace him... he fits so well in to our play and movement... you can see that Gally and Breo had one assist each and showed a good understanding against WBA....

Personally I would try for Armstrong back on loan and then boy Boy from Rotherham .. Ogbene ??? 

Minimum £15m then let the lad decide , the Leeds rumour won’t go away and maybe the lad wants to play PL and not go abroad either way we need to plan for his exit and get replacements .. yes plural .. lined up !

There is a certain journalist who has been saying we are and have always have been after 2 central defenders , my guess is VDB will arrive end of window but target 2 will come in first 

VDB to be announced tomorrow And be introduced to fans during half time ?
that was a thing clubs used to do , can’t remember last time I saw it at Ewood … (watch some smart arse come up with a player from last year 😂)

He’s scored 1 of the 4 goals we’ve scored so far this season?

That’s 25% of our goal tally .. come end of season that would be classed as prolific wouldn’t it 

A C/B is a must , a left back would be nice and I still think we are a midfielder light Edun just does not do it for me , If BBD goes then obviously we need to replace him

Not sure when Buckley has ever been operated as a holding midfielder?

I seem him as  a Holding midfielder in the Pirlo/Tugay mould rather than the Makelele style 

Alfie Mawson still without a club too , I know he was discussed on this boards weeks ago and a lot were of the opinion that he wasn’t the player he used to be but he might just provide the experienced cover at C/B we don’t have 

Can we have some 7 year old kids in tears  holding up homemade signs saying Please Venkys sign JPVH 

At the game Saturday …seem to remember it working at Old Trafford once 🤔

Thought Vale struggled to get involved today , a few nice touches but not much else I think there is more there than what was shown today , Hedges same can’t say he contributed much but with 15 mins to go i thought Gally and Diaz were struggling we needed fresh legs that when I would have brought on Dack and Markanday , felt we were hanging on towards then end , Dack has the ability to lift the crowd even if JDT doesn’t think he’s fit enough or fits into his style of play he cannot deny his impact on the team and fans

I haven’t seen him either, his profile is interesting…

Champ experience ✅

Rarely injured ✅

High energy ✅

Tidy one and two touch ✅

Could put Brittain in those too…seems like a plan!

The Brentford model 😁
