Has JDT got a release clause in his contract, similar to Lambert ?

Is he better than Vale. If the answer is no, go nowhere near him.

Very careless, he isn't even playing.

I don't understand what is happening with Burns.

U18s forward.

You can't do anything about things that have already happened. If the things that have happened are for the worse, then fix them.

Of course whether they are our players or not matters. They would not be available for us this season, so they have no effect on this seasons starting eleven. If the talk is about last seasons team. Then we have lost 5 starters from a team who finished eighth and underperformed for much of the season. I believe we should not only replace the players who have left, but more importantly, improve on them.

It is just my attitude. I tend not to worry about things that haven't happened. If other people want to worry, then go ahead.

Van Hecke and Khadri weren't our players, so they would not be starters this season. Rothwell and Nyambe would have been in and out of the team dependant on how the manager wanted the team to play. I'll give you Lenihan.

Who are the five first team automatic selections, who are out of the door ?

I agree there is a problem getting players to sign for us. What I was trying to show, is a way that maybe this problem we have, could be nulified or at least reduced. I don't believe in just saying, "yes we have a problem" .

Firstly, I would be selling the Rovers and our ambitions to the player. Make him want to join the Rovers first, then negotiate on the money.

And Blackpool.

Just think though, you will become a Super-dooper supporter.

I see the Rovers have rehashed the 1875 club. One of their main selling points is that you get a fiver off the price of a Cat A game. Why would season ticket holders subscribe, they have already paid for those Cat A games. Another selling point is that you are bumped up the pecking order for away tickets. There are few away games that tickets will not be freely available, so why would non season ticket holders need to join. Another point is, why is it more expensive for non season ticket holders to join. Another example of how to alienate the market you should be targeting.

I'll have a tenner on that.

If Burns is fifth choice stiker, why was he not playing for the U23s on Friday. He could have still been on the bench in case of an injury on Saturday. I cannot understand the logic behind it. Will they take Burns to Scotland to sit on the bench, in case of injury ?

So why wasnt he in the second eleven. I am not saying what was done is right or wrong. Just that I don't understand the reasoning behind it.

I can't understand what is happening with Sam Burns. He scores five goals in two games for the U23s, he is then not played in the U23s Friday game. He doesn't get picked for either of the starting 11s on Saturday, yet is an un-used sub for both games, so isn't injured. Are the management trying to piss him off, to see how he will react ?

I'm positive, I'm going to enjoy myself this season, even if we sign no-one. Cardiff and Sunderland will be new grounds for me.

You could say the same if we signed midfielders, and something happened to them. At least think positive. We have two good home-grown central midfielders, with two competent (although young ) back-ups.

You've got the wrong sort of trial.

His second touch is often a tackle. Which I must admit, he wins most of.

I reckon there will be more than 2500 Rovers on tomorrow

I, would not want Ayala to leave, I would want him to be available for more games.
