Utd already confirmed it last night

Hedges' end product needs consistency, but what do people expect given the level he has come from and to? What he does seem to have is vision and awareness, as well as some technical ability. The highlights below illustrate this, as well as Pickering playing a forward ball when he had an option down the line https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/teams/blackburn-rovers/12662139/blackburn-1-0-qpr-sky-bet-championship-highlights

Don't disagree he had to space to use, but when Brereton goes inside, another forward needs to offer an option down the channel.

Pickering's confidence looked shot especially in the first half, but one thing I did notice which didn't help him at all is he had no option down the line. Diaz was immediately going infield when Pickering received the ball and nobody was running the channel. Early in the second half BBD ran the line instead and Pickering found him.

Irrespective of what you may think of their talent, I doubt anyone can argue against Gallagher, Kaminski and Travis not being key players at the time they all extended during the last 12 or so months.

So by that logic if we win comfortably, give JDT a new contract and anything below the play offs is an abysmal failure?

Apologies if this has already been answered, but in the forum minutes, it said a permit was denied for a signing from Austria last year. Any idea who it was?

16 goals in Serie A last season. IMO outweighs the 22 in the Championship. Not sure I'd say it makes him FAR superior per the OP, but I view it as more impressive than BBD's haul.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-62256634 For those who criticised the club for 'only' getting an initial batch of shirts to sell, this is an interesting read. Supply chain issues mean some prem clubs still aren't selling kits, including fellow Macron team crystal palace

A marquee signing is exactly that and generally a one off. Without wanting to get all 'Football Manager' , wage budget needs to be adhered to or you knacker your finances. Had Nyambe been given 15k, a lot more of the squad would think they'd be worth that and our top earners would seek more. Barcelona are a prime example - and they had one of the world's best 2 players. But by continually increasing Messi's salary, they had to increase everyone else's in relation to it. Now they're 1 billion in debt and selling off future broadcasting rights.

Don't know much about him but Wiki says he wears number 7. It's back to the days of Emerton at RB, or better yet, Ben Marshall wearing 10.

Im sure it'll end badly, but didn't Crawley do this and sell £3m worth? Not that I endorse NFTs in any form

Depending on when the promo photoshoot happened, perhaps he was on his extended break?

Turns out not quite so much credit is due to Macron

Lots of credit going to Macron, but do they actually design the kits or is that Rovers? Given designs are in place around 12 months prior to release, doesn't that indicate Rovers actually design the shirt?

Like the away kit, too much of the detail for my liking. Last season's rose was beautifully embedded and more subtle, this is all over the place.

Just because designs are approved a year before, doesnt mean they get produced immediately. My interpretation of the statements from the club is that macron would have had shirts delivered, say, end of August but we negotiated/paid for a batch to be produced and delivered earlier. Macron have a massive portfolio, I doubt we are high up their priority list.

Liverpool might be willing to negotiate a pay off with him, should he be willing to leave for a lower wage. As for us potentially paying him £20k, it's a great way to piss off the rest of the squad, especially if he doesn't justify being highest earner when he plays. Breaking the wage structure for Arma, BBD and to a lesser extent Lenihan would have been understood by the squad, they'd have earned that standing. Much harder to accept for a new signing unless it's a genuine marquee player.

I may be wrong, but I believe you can still go on Rovers' Twitter or Instagram pages without being signed up to those sites

Rovers website or their social media

Away shirt officially unveiled. Like the idea of the crest in the fabric, but too many of them for my liking, looks a bit messy

I also tried this, with the same result. Gutted to get an email from macron this morning offering £10 off for leaving it in my basket!

All sizes up to 4xl initially showed as available online

The talk of Ayala playing up top got me thinking - could we have a xi of players completely out of position (joking aside for the likes of Pears in goal and Gally RW)? I can think of the following: GK - Smallwood, albeit forced. RWB - Dolan had a go there I believe. CB - Johnson False 9 - Johnson - double duty RW - Giles ST - Ayala Surely there's some more?

Zebra was pretty bad. Probiz was awful, possibly worse than this.
