Totally agree. "Don't judge the manager on the transfer window yet, wait till its closed" I remember reading---often. Now its too late to get in the defenders we knew we needed more than a year ago, according to the post you're quoting. I said a while ago, TM has a charmed life with some, nothing is ever his fault and no blame ever is attached to him. Every excuse under the sun! If its too late now why didn't he start the campaign earlier? That's not hard to follow is it?

"generally"----with a few exceptions?

Woy thought so!

We all do but some of us would have kept Raya in reserve. Guess the money wasn't there.

Really? You reckon?

Have we any pointers though?

Well that's true.. So Gordon Banks' save didn't signify? Obviously there's room and necessity for both!

ummmm......what about those reflex saves?

Much like us then!

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.
