Maybe I've missed it but there is an Italian striker in Germany whose very highly thought of and will be sold before his contract ends in summer 2026: Nicolò Tresoldi from Hannover 96. Nothing about Juventus though unless they also want to sign him.

This is a league one standard game. They can't shoot and we are missing some quality

I would guess if you remove the parachute payments teams the level would be fairly similar in quality. Maybe slightly lower but games between teams should be competitive. Overall attending matches is a really good experience. Cheap tickets, beer and bratwursts, great fan involvement in running the clubs.

Comfortable victory today. Looked very solid at the back and showed a few nice passing sequences. Another 115k prize money in the coffers too. Hopefully get a more exciting draw in the next round

Wow that's crazy if true. Could get 2 championship players for that, or Dolan + 1.

Despite all the issues discussed in this thread we are on course for our highest average attendance this season since relegation! Over 16k average and a few big gates to come too... 19th in league https://www.transfermarkt.us/championship/besucherzahlen/wettbewerb/GB2 Highest since 11/12 https://www.transfermarkt.us/blackburn-rovers/besucherzahlenentwicklung/verein/164

As Telalovic has been brought up, he's doing really well in a poor bundesliga 2 team! Hope we have a sell on clause with him. Strange how he's doing so much better back in Germany and at a similar ish level to the championship.

Dele Alli? He will probably end up at a championship club

Just seen today is the 700th consecutive match day squad, so that answers half of the question. Must be a while without a starter though.

No academy graduates starting today. When was the last time that happened!?

Interesting read. https://www.theguardian.com/football/article/2024/jul/07/why-are-bournemouth-fulham-and-brentfords-womens-teams-so-behind Seems like we are, along with Reading, one of the few clubs that's bucking the trend.

That's a shame! I was hoping to catch a game whilst visiting home

Is there likely to be another friendly game squeezed in between Stockport away and the Derby game at the start of August? Don't we usually have a 'big' name home game before the season starts?

Imagine buying a season ticket for the women's team after today's revelation....
