I think a low bar of one goal for every 3 appearances would represent a surprisingly positive return. Don't worry, we've got Jack Vale and Harry Leonard. They're bound to score at least three goals between them.

If you think 1 in 3 is a low bar then I’m not sure you’ll be happy until Mbappe turns up.

When Eustace said the 11 players we have left becomes a reality

Jesus Christ that attack 😂 have to laugh or you’ll cry.

8.5 plus extra according to Nixon. New bid. 

Nixon has said that Ipswich has come back in with a new bid of £8.5m with extras approaching the figure we want for him if he was to go. 

For me, its is £12m plus Al-Hamadi or £15m straight or no deal. 

[London blue]

He's gone. It won't be over £10m total. The sooner people accept that the better.

No chance either of those bids will happen.

Wake up Chaddy. It doesn't matter what the number is - it means nothing to the Rovers squad for 2024-25 campaign. No player in their right mind will want to come here as a makeweight, either.

Zero chance we get that sort of deal for him. As above will be under £10m but perhaps with a few extras.

Same with Armstrong and Rhodes and would have been the same with Dack and BBD, ask for 20 mill but any deal of around 12 million takes them.

I haven't seen a worse squad than this in 30 years supporting Rovers.

Thank you Venky's. It's long over due that you fucked off!

Total negligence, shouldn't be anywhere near English football. Ignored by the media.

Supported by the local postmen (The LET). A club ruined in Pune and happy clapped by the majority of fans throughout. That is the reality.

Not a penny of the Wharton money reinvested. Not a penny of last seasons unspent budget spent. Not a penny spent this season.

Total scum (Waggott included)

Missing Szmodics, Gallagher, Gent & Sigurdsson

 

Look at the state of that.

Gallagher and Sigurdsson are no strangers to the treatment table, with Szmodics off the depth in this squad is comical.

[MB Rover]

That team comes bottom 

[simongarnerisgod]

this squad is getting frightening now,iv`e never seen a weaker rovers one,ever,it`s one or two injuries away from having to include 17 yr olds,definately going to kick off with the fans this year,we are going to be shipping goals heavily and not scoring any

[KentExile]

Jack "the Messiah" Vale to discover a long lost South American heritage and have a revival that makes Breretons pale into insignificance by comparison

It’s a fair point. It’s all good and well refusing to sell Gallagher during his last year with the club but realistically how many games will he be fit for? A third? 

Who plays up top then? Vale? The 16 year old lad?

It’s gonna be a car crash.

I know plenty of people that want a refund on their season tickets.

As daft as it sounds it almost seems a reasonable request.

Don't agree one bit. Why can't we? £8.5m with extras up to 12m with Al-Hamadi coming to us as first choice. How much is he going to really play at Ipswich and Eustace can talk into coming here.

We got more than £15m for Armstrong but Newcastle had 40% sell on clause

We're pretty much guaranteed to be the lowest scorers in the league.

With Eustace in charge we'll be drawing our way to relegation.

We're not going to win many games.

[Mattyblue]

‘A more senior look’… even the club socials know 

[tomphil]

Whatever happens in these pre season games the shit is hitting the fan big time at some point at Ewood this season.

Off the pitch as well BUT if they clear out Sammie and Sam for money and wages off the books, get rid of Siggy then it's obvious we are in the mire financially and that is just the finger in the dyke that staves it off a few moths longer.

Whatever happens in court in August unless the Vs get around the 20% tariff on money transfer funding will be massively reduced anyway.  This is the future boys and girls so get used to it, there might be 5 or 6 come in but how many more out first and what quality the replacements ?

[Paul Mellelieu]

I think £9m is as good as it gets.

I think it’s fair and reasonable for a 29 year old and we should do right by someone that single handedly took it upon themselves to keep us in the league and now has an opportunity to play Premier League football

I agree with you here. 

After that, Eustace can talk Waggot into retiring, then phone Venkys and talk them into giving us the full warchest.  Next he can talk Gally into playing like he’s Zlatan and Pears to become Gordon Banks.

For a finale he can talk Nicko into not making shit up and talk the record books into actually showing he has won a home game.

I have full faith in his, y’know , silver tongue.
