Likewise, don’t begrudge Sammy his move. That must be circa £40m in within about 12 months, I now expect the club to allow us to recruit with some proper money but know I will be disappointed. It really has been a long hard 14 years and sadly, we still appear to be on the road to oblivion. Let’s see what happens on the 20th.

Maybe it is Ipswich denying him the move, pay up and he’s gone.

He is too slow and laboured to do it against better teams.

Nice to see the Big Mac, up and running.

Looked good defensively save for the set pieces, three in two games.

Wow, only £3m less than what they took Adam off us and they reject it ! Take note Ipswich.

We can indeed, Sammy is effectively under contract for 3 more years, a contract that he was happy to sign 6 months ago.

Quite possible, that is what happens during negotiations. Until a contract is signed, there is no deal cast in stone.

And Teacake / Barm debate

No, perceived value can be very different depending on perspective. I’m sure that, like me, you have suggested that we sold Adam W way to low but under your scenario, we received his value 🤷‍♂️

Only if you have a willing seller, a reluctant seller can ask for whatever they want and any interested party can then make their own decisions.

If a release clause was included, there would be precious little room for negotiation, meet it and he’s gone. My guess is that no such clause is in the contract.

The salient point your missing is that he is effectively contracted to Rovers for another 3 years. He is paid well and was happy to sign a contract for good money and therefore, we are under no moral obligation to sell, unless it is seen to benefit Blackburn Rovers.

Because we would get a fee and there will be no fee when he is out of contract.

I think Siggurdson would love QPR or PAOK but a pity that he has shown next to nothing in a blue and white shirt.

£1.5m for Iversen would be a steal, cracking keeper.

Certainly not the quickest but seems to get in some decent positions.

Every credit for coming up from Wiltshire to support our club 👏

I thought he was injured and weeks away from playing football. On face of it, a good loan provided we bring replacement player in.

Didn’t he go for £1m, nothing at all for a quality keeper.

But Liam Delap with no EPL experience and hardly any Championship goals is worth £20m ! Sammy is from Colchester, Essex not Ipswich, even Suffolk, although admittedly not too far away.

I think he probably wants a move, he’s played very little football since joining for one reason or another and has shown very little after the first couple of appearances. I think if he goes it will probably be back to Scandinavia or some low level Spanish / Italian side for a pretty small fee. Has ability but little pace and no real grit / determination.

Whilst I can begrudgingly understand the not risking him in the pre season matches and Sammy’s desire for an EPL move, I simply don’t understand the training away from the squad etc ! He is getting paid handsomely to play for Blackburn Rovers and is contracted for another 2+1 years and whilst he is, he needs to be on the pitch and giving 100%.

The Starman has landed, at Barnet !

Anticipation of that first match of a new season is a feeling that should be full of excitement and expectation. I’ll be at Ewood tonight but with no anticipation, excitement or expectation just fulfilling my duty as a Rovers fan, this thanks to the Pune lunatics and the Swag / Suhail axis of evil.
