Damn you beat me to it 😄

Fuck sake, he signs his messages and mails off using “best” - just when I thought he couldn’t become any more of a danger

Isn't that exactly what's happening in those two scenarios (1. halal as only option due to religious beliefs and 2. fish as only option due to religious beliefs) Surely choice is the answer, not pandering for one belief or another. Agree with the 2nd part though that major issues exist at the club, and this isn't particularly one of them.

I feel a lot is going to fall on Morishita, Gudjohnson and Baradji, and I would have had some hope had we not shipped Hyam off last minute. Relying on McLoughlin (new), Carter and Wharton (crocks) and youth team players or full backs is a recipe for disaster defensively.

It’s timing though. Selling an ever-present CB in the last hour with no replacement is just shocking management from the board - regardless on thoughts of Hyams ability / leadership

Travis, Brittain, JRC, Leonard, Buckley, Dolan, Batth (English) and Hyam (Scottish). Weimann the only non-British sale from the squad.

Le Tournoi !

We can’t even compete with a 2 year contract to a 29 year old. Madness

Yeah this window just makes that look more and more like a stitch-up, if even possible. We’re treated like mugs

I know its part of his gig and he’s essentially a Rovers yes-man, but surely to fuck he ought to be the voice of the supporters and ask what the bloody thinking behind this one was.

Gibson running the ship vs Suhail - like chalk and cheese. Good choice by Brittain.

The others towed the line anyway - must have a WhatsApp group with a dress code “cream chinos and no socks for the big interview lads”

Selling the leader of the rubber dinghy boys for almost £3m would be fine if we were a proper run club. Doing it with 1 hour left in the window, no ESC slots and nobody lined up just sums up the clowns in charge and how out of touch with football they really are

Yes, what you said was utter tosh, as not only was it factually incorrect, it also made no sense.

Very strange, you’ll be blaming the ref next.

Christ, imagine them giving €10m to JDT or Eustace over the last few windows when we’ve pulled in £35m+ (Wharton, Szmodics, Raya resale, Gallagher etc). We’re led by absolute morons

Irony being most in Ewood would aim their anger at Eustace, Travis and co. Rather than those sat just above Jack Walkers old seat.

Didn’t he also sign Brittain, Szmodics and Tronstad? (albeit you hate the latter) - granted he signed some tosh as well but at least a few hits

Probably would be more use to the squad than Wharton (eyes behind my fingers very time) or sick note Carter. But this is the whole point of loans to lower leagues - get the experience then make the step up (but he’ll probably leave on a free or knock down price instead with our lot)

Bristol City at home. Gueye has done it in one match and looked like a raffle ticket winner outside of that. Whereas Yuki has found the net a few times for us (which considering the dross behind him is pretty compelling)

Alebiosu has looked good too. In reality we need to replace Brittain, Travis, Dolan and Batth - I don’t think any other departures would/should get in our squad let alone our first 11 (Beck the exception but we replaced him last year). Question is whether Alebiosu, McLaughlin, Tavares, Baradji, Morishita are capable replacements for those 4 outgoings. A lot of that will depend on Baradji I guess, who we may not see for a while. Nice to see we’re investing in a striker too, where we were clearly short last season and again so far this year. Personally, it’s the manager I’m worried about. He has a pretty terrible record so far.

Exactly.

Looking past the set 4 grammar…we’ve only signed 1 French lad and there wasn’t a single French player in our whole squad today, so leave that shit out of it.

We’re certainly going to need Baradji, Morishita and new Striker to hit the ground running as we’ve got about 15 season goals in us in Kargbo, Hedges, Cantwell and Ohashi. Attacking options are dirt, nobody to put the ball in the net. Kargbo and Gueye are not footballers. Gambles that didn’t work, we need to move onto the next ones and stop wasting more games with them
