By a country mile and I really like Gallagher 

Armstrongs performances this season would say not.

[Mattyblue]

He’s playing in the PL.

But if SG is at the same level, take it we are expecting a £15million bid in January?

One got bought for £15 million and one got sold for £5 million.

One is playing in the premier league one is in the championship

when both where here Armstrong kept Gallagher out of his favoured position (the is is up for debate granted )

and the goals stats aren’t worth comparing

Time to bring Adam Armstrong back, maybe on loan. He's not Premier League quality but he'll score goals to get us there and he's certainly better than any of Gallagher, Hirst or Vale

You've clearly not been listening to JDT's "Team first" messages. Armstrong is the most selfish player I've ever seen at Blackburn Rovers.

For how JDT wants the team to play, Gallagher.

Have to agree to disagree on this one then.

Strikers have to self centred to be successful, that’s a given. However I thought Armstrong took that to an extreme. Just my opinion.

You're right, I haven't been listening......because like Mowbray and all the others he's self-serving and I'm not that interested in what he has to say or any silly slogans like "Team First". Most goalscorers by their nature are selfish, and Armstrong is no exception. He is however an exceptional goalscorer and Rovers are desperately short of those at present.

And if he came back and didn't, it wouldn't be beneficial to the team. Who would you drop for Armstrong ?

Assuming Diaz isn't going of course. If he did Armstrong could replace him. Different type of player I know but Diaz is a real one-off anyway.

Southampton looking for a new manager now. Jones at Luton in the favourites apparently.

Liverpool FC up for sale now.

Liverpool supporters happy about this news. 

Liverpool supporters are delighted after Fenway Sports Group put the club up for sale   | Daily Mail Online

[Mattyblue]

Bit of a sleight of hand there by FSG. That reads that they are open to outside investment (and maybe a full sale at some point):

A statement from Fenway Sports Group however refused to state that the Premier League club, as a whole, is on the market.
It reads: “There have been a number of recent changes of ownership and rumours of changes in ownership at EPL clubs and inevitably we are asked regularly about Fenway Sports Group’s ownership in Liverpool.

“FSG has frequently received expressions of interest from third parties seeking to become shareholders in Liverpool. FSG has said before that under the right terms and conditions we would consider new shareholders if it was in the best interests of Liverpool as a club.

FSG remains fully committed to the success of Liverpool, both on and off the pitch.”

And so may end my mild fondness for Southampton...

[frosty]

In an era where a mid-table Premier League team can go out and poach a manager like Unai Emery, Southampton appointing Jones would be a funny one, though obviously he's done very well at Luton.

Just where is Dyche going to turn up next? Not like the 'attractive football' or 'getting a fancier name' reasoning that you often see can be applied here with them going for Jones. Unless they tried for him but he didn't fancy it, all I can think of....

Well, it's been rumoured to be happening for weeks now that he would be sack. 

If I was in charge of picking their next appointment, I would be going for Kjetil Knutsen or Urs Fischer

[roverandout]

Awful appointment

I remember you fancied him for our job before JDT, as did I, and reckon he's definitely a PL quality manager.

Looks like Nathan Jones will take over as Southampton next head coach. He is at St Mary's stadium tonight

[Mattyblue]

Good to see he’s being embraced by the fans…

[chaddyrovers]

No surprised that many fans don't want Jones as their next managerial appointment. 

Southampton do have former Brentford director of football Rasmus Ankersen as part of the ownership and board of director there, so I wonder if he has said Nathan Jones is the one to go for. Massive call by them

Wouldn't surprise me if Moyes was next PL manager to be sack now.
