For the game against Omonia he was given by far their highest rating (7.9) and made 8 saves. Pretty clear to see that Omonia were the stronger team and were dominant. Context is good in these clips aswell. Not saying this guy will be brilliant but you can’t say he will be good or bad until he wears the kit.

Pathetic from all in charge. Gone from getting a very decent keeper to plan B again. The people currently in charge have no bollocks, no passion for the club and need either moving on or forcing out. This deal could have been done days ago if rovers just payed what was asked. They know we will get some income from Sammie so no reason not to.

Fingers crossed. We are crying out for a player like him. Lightning fast and direct. Not had a player like that in years.

Yeh he hasn’t said anything today about it and he’s been asked constantly. I reckon we are waiting for money to come in for Szmodics.

I think he was called Jimmy Duckworth. Likely a nobody but he said he’s been at the training ground and we are discussing fees etc. Like I say I’m just stating what I’ve read, likely nothing but one can dream

Tbh I think it’s unlikely but we can dream 😂

Don’t know how much is true but just quoting someone from X (twitter) Apparently Topi Keskinen has been at our training ground. Is he the one that follows us?? Maybe something in it, who knows?

Just worries me with 2 in the middle that we can be overrun. Which is why 442s have been slowly declining. I feel like with the right players a 3 at the back can be good and work well but you’re right in the past with rovers it hasn’t worked. Usually because we sit back too much and the wide players don’t get forward enough which is what we need to provide the width. One thing is clear, with 2 CB signings and a quick winger we have the ability to change formations which is a good thing to have.

To me it makes sense. Use our strength which now is a 6 foot 5 striker and two good crossers of the ball. Then a smaller striker to pick up the scraps

I wouldn’t be surprised to see a 352 sort of formation (hence why 2 more defenders) with Gueye and a smaller striker with him (Yuki). Honestly wouldn’t be against this as Britain and a good left winger / wing back (Gent?) would see a lot of crosses and we can be more defensively solid. It would also allow Tronstad to sit in front of the defence controlling the play and two other midfielders to go forward in attack. Although then you have Hedges, Dolan etc not being used so maybe a more 433 formation could fit them in better. As long as we are strong in both defence and attack and don’t just sit back I’ll be happy. One thing we lack from the friendlies is creativity upfront.

Recent posts on here and x have suggested the fee is 30 million yen (around 150k)

You’d have to think that if the fee of 150k is right, that the Japanese attacker is nothing to do with sammie leaving. So you would hope that if Sammie does leave that the money will go into signing some more players. However this is rovers so the money will likely go into heating Waggots indoor pool. Will be a shame if he does go, but at his age you’d think Sammie needs to jump at the chance to play prem football.

Can’t believe the amount of people already slating the lad. Saying he’s not good enough or that it likely won’t work out. Give him a chance to get to Brockhall first 😂.

It is awful and upsetting what is happening to our once great club. Im only 25 but remember watching us as a youngster in the prem, idolising Tugay, Pederson and Santa Cruz, how I and I’m sure we all miss those days. I’m glad people outside of the fanbase are realising how much shit we’ve had to put up with. It’s gonna be a long season no doubt but hopefully we can keep some of our main lads and we need to pray we don’t get too many injuries or else we are up shit creek. And let’s hope this court ruling gets shut of Venkys once and for all!! We need to get reset and go again under new ownership and make our way back slowly to where we want to be. And Waggott and Suhail need to be banished from the Blackburn boundaries.

A shame about Gilsenan. I hope he’s back soon as I really thought this season he might breakthrough. He has the talent, no question, it’s about him getting it onto the pitch at Championship level.
