The Summer Transfer Window (Press Submit)

This could them selling everything of value before they actually leave us.

Sad, but if this is the case, more will be going.

Maybe they want some money back before they do so.

One can but hope. 

Sadly, I very much doubt it.,

Ipswich in talks with Rovers - £6m deal with add-ons for Sammie Szmodics.

 

 

Same club that's spunking £20m on Hull players?

If we were a well run club I'd tell them to do one - alas £6m will be enough for our CEO. 

[rovers11]

Liam Cooper would be a good first signing tbf. He's a good defender and has the leadership qualities we are lacking. Sounds like he wants to come so I think it will happen. 

Sammie will leave this summer - but not for £6m. Not even we would sell him for that price.

£4.5m-ish after Peterborough take their share lol

So we paid £2m and added a 25% sell on clause for Szmodics? I doubt it somehow.

course we will,if we can sell adam wharton on the cheap then i can see no reason why they won`t sell sammie on the cheap either,defies belief they appear to value gallagher at more than 2 million,dem indians and the fat geordie are crazzzzzzzy

This is a joke, budget or no budget we should of seen some free transfers in by now - we’re battling wages on free agents  and worse, we cant  even get OAPs in who we’re playing for us 3months ago.

Us and Swansea the only teams not to of brought players in…Swansea must have slept in on the job…JOKE

Eustace should be knighted if he keeps us up and you know what, I think he will…Just.

That is on the same level as, England were odds on to go out at the first knock out game , because of the shit performances in the group games.

I did some betting on that game, and can confirm we were definitely not odds on favourites to go out. In fact the Spain game is the first one we haven't been favourites for.

Would be good logically signing. Loads of experience, left footed and leadership quality after been captain at Leeds aswell

Everton.

I would be going all out for that keeper that's just left Ipswich, suprised he hasn't been snapped up yet.

We are still after a first choice senior keeper and I suggested Hladky before and given he is available on a free transfer. For me, its a no brainer and one of the most sensible and logically move we could make this summer

Nixon has laughed off the £6m Sammie fee FWIW

Ipswich need to offer £15m plus Ali Al-Hamadi to even consider it

I expect this season to be a grind with Eustace having a completely different approach to JDT. He showed last season that he could set up a defence. If we sign the 4 or 5 quality players JE wants I’m hopeful of a half-decent season. 

If you were at Accy Stanley game, you would have seen a different approach which was right winger cutting inside and Brittain providing the width from right back and Dolan playing wide and high on the left. 4-2-3-1 out of possession and 3-4-1-2 in possession.

We're not selling for £6m, not a chance. 

We needed to sell Wharton to see us through the season and beyond now that the taps have been turned off. That and the Raya money means we don't need to sell Sammie quite so desperately. 

We will sell him this summer though, probably for around £8m plus add ons. A deal totalling around £10m will probably be accepted.

[Browjd]

As mentioned above, don’t forget Szomdics has a sell-on clause…

[DeeCee]

SS, if he goes, will be £10m tops.

I meant odds on from the fans, the same as some fans have us odds on for relegation next  season.

[Andy]

I was told (and posted) at the end of the season that SS would go for around £8m - it's what had been agreed between player, club and agent at the end of last season, before we went away.

Same person who told me exactly what the kits would look like back in May, right down to the roadmap effect on the pink 3rd kit.

Hasn't been wrong yet.

The reaction on szmodizcs for me is over the top…This ridiculous figure of 15-20m is stupid especially looking at his numbers on paper…8m on a 29 year old’s ‘one season’ wonder is okay if we were a real business…It makes it alot worse because this is Venkeys and this is Blackburn rovers - 95% of it will be stuck on that last flickering light and the 5% will be used on the canteen to feed the staff.

Perhaps his contract extension last December came with a release clause specifying an £8m fee?

Bet this was agreed when he signed his new deal at the turn of the year, allows club to safeguard getting a fee and would allow him a premier league move should one materialise. We can moan about the fee, but we would be complaining even more now if he was going into the last 12 months of his deal and was refusing to sign a new deal.

Can imagine Szmodics party insisted on it as this will probably be his only opportunity for a move to the premier league and the big money that comes with it.

Unpopular opinion but I don’t begrudge him or the club if he leaves for the premier league for a fee of around £8 million.

Which is a shame if true as it should be more like 10m minimum.

If I remember rightly, his old deal would have been going into its last 12 months...then had a 12 month extension option. His new deal only added one year of security for the club.

If we allowed an 8 mill release clause in that deal we're even fucking dumber than I thought.
