Looks like he's playing through the middle as well

Its happening!

Yep, no phones, emails or anything in Cornwall.  🙄 Problem with us, we rely on loans too much and no parent club decides to loan out until they've been on pre season tour etc....so, all our business is done late.  

Still no word on what's happening with AA, JR.....paralysis as usual..

Looking more and more like its Mogadon again for next season folks....

 

100% he's staying. 

No idea how he's held onto his job after last season but I suppose we do have the most clueless owners in football.

Shouldn't be a surprise, really.

Pretty sure he's been mentioned on here as someone who would be a good signing.

Not logged on for a while but good to see we've made our first signing early for once.

What position does this lad, Data play?

Signed for the youth team.

Safe to say,we have another season of Gallagher on the wing, winless runs and horrific possession based garbage to look forward to next season.

Can't wait 😐

My argument was that he doesn't know how to use them really.  Look at where we finished?  But you can support Mowbray if you like, I want him gone and replaced with a better manager.

On Dolan.  The jury is definitely out. And the other one.JRC.  You can't say they are established championship players,

Jury is deffo still out on Dolan (and JRC too really).

Problem with Dolan is, he burst onto the scene and was electric in those first couple of games. Steps overs, tricks, pace etc. Gave us something totally different. Problem is, I think he was quickly worked out by the defenders in the league after that. So his performances dropped. 

He went missing for a while but came back with less step overs but was a bit more productive.

Next season, hopefully he continues to improve but at the moment, the jury is out for me.

Norwich linked with Armstrong 

https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/blackburn-rovers-adam-armstrong-transfer-20730613

I would be asking for Jordan Hugill as part of the deal. 

According to that, they only want to pay £10m. 

Gotta be a non starter at our end considering the amount we have to give Newcastle.

Barnsley confident they are keeping him.

https://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/news/2021/june/dane-murphy-update/

Hes on holiday at the moment by the sounds of it, so I don't think he's signing for anyone at the moment.

ON ALEX MOWATT

“We are confident that we can get something done with Alex. 

“He’s currently on holiday but I believe when Alex gets back we’ll sit down with him and his representatives again and the club believes, I believe, Valérien believes that this is the best place for Alex Mowatt.

“He’s our captain, our leader, he provides us goals and assists, he puts in the defensive shift. I don’t see a better place for him and I hope we can get something done there. 

“We know other clubs are interested, but we’ve been speaking to Alex about an extension for the better part of 18 to 20 months. He knows where we stand. We continue to put forward offers that should attract any player. 

“So hopefully, when he sits down and looks at his offers, sees the full scope, he’ll realise this is where he should be and we’ll see him lead out the team again next season.”

Lingard is left out, but for some reason he is starting the game tomorrow against Austria....🤷‍♂️ 

Looks like we have a Mogadonesque manager in charge, wants to be everyone's friend and we will end up nowhere.

Yeah, really weird decision. 

As you say, Southgate now taking tips off Mowbray!

9 free-agents who Blackburn Rovers should have on their transfer radar and why | Page 8 | Football League World

Players available on a free.

Always thought Alex Prichard was quality and still only 27.

Mowatt has had a good season or two and only 26. 

Jack Wilshere can fill the vacancy in the Vince Ayala suite. 

I just couldn't see Wilshire working out for us at all. For the amount of money he'd want and the amount of games he'd play, it would be a serious waste of the wage budget.

So, expect him to sign shortly 🤔

The point of course is that there was a claim going round that he wouldn't be obtainable for a Championship club and particularly not one in the North of England without substantial investment. Unless the Prince at Sheffield United is suddenly changing his ways they won't be throwing tons of money at it.

If Venkys (apparently billionaires who want us to get promoted) wanted Jokanovic we could have beat Sheff Utd to the chase by lining him up to take over several months ago. 

We haven't done it because they don't want to. Not because Jokanovic wouldn't come. He clearly would if the offer was right. 

Anyone like Jokanovic would come here if Venkys would pay the money.

Bizarrely, Venkys never pay for a good manager and it's been our major on field problem for 10/11 years.

slavisa jokanovic set to become Sheff Utd boss.

Ross County's appointment of Malky Mackay has gone down like a lead balloon (as you'd expect)

Same old arguments, same old boring football tactics, bla, bla, bla. Have you guys no ambition to have football like we had in the 90’s? Your not reaching for the sky, you can’t get out the basement. I don’t know who’s available and don’t profess to know the pro game around Europe. I’ll say again can we find the next Howe or in Europe Nuno.

I imagine most Rovers fans have ambition and would absolutely love to unearth another Howe or Nuno and have them deliver promotion.

The problem though, as always, is the owners. They have no ambitions for the club. 

They jump into bed with whichever agent gets their ear and we end up with some cheap dross (See Coyle and Mowbray). They get sacked and round and round we go.

Until Venkys are gone, we won't be getting promoted.

Trust me, he’s not!

How is Mogga seeing this?

Surely this is more ammunition for him to keep his job?

A large investment which is now starting to pay off (on paper). Unless he was expecting BB to get an England call up!!

That's class.

This is strange and awesome in equal measure. 

How the hell has this happened? Good luck to him though, I genuinely hope he does well for the Chile National team. 

And just because of this, I'll actually have an interest in a game I otherwise wouldn't have given a moments though to.

The club reckon Armstrong is going to stay. 

If he's not signing a new contract then its probably the worst business we could do?

Yes League 1 is looking very strong and tough to call who will win promotion next season. 

Ipswich and Sheffield Wednesday will be huge rebuilding jobs player recruitment wise. 

Is Cowley staying at Portsmouth? 

Will Richardson remain at Wigan for next season? 

 

Didn't Sunderland but Will Grigg for 4 million pounds whilst in the first season in league 1?

I think Cowley signed a contract with Pompey the other day.

Nuno Espirito Santo available after tomorrow. Leaving Wolves

Would be Dreamland stuff, if by some miracle he ended up here.

He'll be staying in the Premier league though, surely?

I assume the letter gained no response from the club or the owners?
