The audit report from last season perhaps highlighted the difference in transfer fee, and therefore potential profit, between defenders and forwards? Its hard for us to accept that Blackburn Rovers might not be run principally as a football club.

There's been dozens of those type of articles. prominent among them is the number of clubs who've been "advised" to sign Dack!

The point of buying young lads for potential is that they are cheaper than the real thing------usually!

What's he done?

YET!

I ran out of breath with that message so ,sorry, missed the end!

I was referring to his Premier League experience, his England caps and his reported massive wealth! I think that's what young players would be interested in these days."been then, done that" "he can do it, so can I" sort of thing. His character doesn't bear scrutiny as I've clearly implied.

I don't somehow think we'll see Rodwell again. Certainly not fussed about it. Thought he'd be a good influence on young players and give them something to look up to. Can't see that he earned any respect really. Just wasting our time. Should be training hard now for a new season but he obviously isn't.

Part of that audit a year ago I'd bet. Sign young British lads and sell them. People keep saying "Mowbray has a plan", that's the plan and its not his! We'll be able to sell season tickets to the EDL at this rate! There's a marketing angle for you Steve!

Welcome back Sam! His career went downhill after he left us. Let's hope he shows Blackburn form not Birmingham!

....that's fine with me!

That means that Raya was solely to blame for the Goals Against Column. He wasn't. we emphatically do not "just" need a gk.

Vodka? More like jet fuel! Do you really think TM will play those 2 upfront and Dack in the same team?

£12M for those 2---utterly absurd.

Well I'm only going by the contract extensions!

I can't understand why we didn't sign Gallagher a year ago. He'd have been cheaper, would have been able to play all season and we wouldn't have paid £7m for Brereton. Better player, less dosh, good management.

Pity that doesn't apply to the defence!

Its not how much you spend that counts----its what you spend it on.

Sad.

We're gonna play all 4 at once?

Nothing I've seen to justify Brereton being given a season. 46 games with 10 men! I'm all for giving him a run at some point but It might simply confirm what most of us feel. Including TM by the way. If he'd cost £1M you wouldn't be arguing that way.

I didn't mean to look like I was having a go at you, it was meant to be a more general comment. I think you can go to and fro with someone over several posts without someone telling you you're bickering or taking offence. So long as its about football! Too often I read that the bickerings putting them off and I just think its an exchange of views. When we get someone inventing a future dispute which they "can't wait" for its a bit much though! So----sorry, I usually agree with your posts too!

You make some good points but, while I am glad we are not losing Dack or Lenihan (it seems) I think we have a very unbalanced side. This is particularly true of defence which has that League 1 feel about it. The worry is that our goals against column was alarmingly bad and you would have thought fixing it would have been the first priority. However we live in hope.

I don't see anything in the most recent posts that deserve the "Daily Bicker" label. Biz and I have exchanged a few posts holding different views, perfectly friendly and nothing personal. Isn't that what an MB is for? I think this "bickering" complaint is overdone and should only apply to personal abuse

OK!
