Summer transfer window 2021.
Tom replied to chaddyrovers's topic in Blackburn Rovers Fans Messageboard
Is there a solid argument that we are stronger in any position other than left back? Keepers - same Right back - lost back up in Bennett, otherwise same, Nyambe near end of contract but Pike and Carter showing promise Central Defence - lost THB and (thankfully) Branthwaite, brought in the Dutch lad. Carter and Wharton seem to be a future pairing but Ayala staying fit (big if) is crucial - Lenihan nearing end of contract Left Back - Bell and Douglas gone, neither a big loss, Pickering looks ok and new lad could be a good un - progress Central midfield - lost a playmaker in Holtby and backup options in Evans and Trybull (neither a huge loss) brought in Clarkson who seems to occupy similar positions to Buckley Wing forwards - brought in Poveda and Kedra, could be good but big ask to replace Elliotts contributions Strikers - lost a 29 goal man, not replaced at all It seems we are now reliant on a number of attacking players chipping in with goals but the concern is we’ve lost 40 or so goals from last season and brought in players with less than a handful of career goals (maybe even games) between them -

John Park was described by the manager as a workaholic https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/19510574.blackburn-rovers-transfer-chief-appointment-no-brainer-mowbray/ Now call me old fashioned but if someone is a workaholic, working all hours and getting those results something indicates they may not be very adept at actually doing the job. -

Quoting myself a couple of weeks back here but was this the easiest prediction of the window? -

Maybe Burke was a tactical leak so if we sign nobody the argument becomes ‘well people didn’t want Burke so they should be happy’ Either way the whole thing stinks -

Oli Burke fits the bill - as in not very good and bottom of the barrel -

One way or another we’ll know in 3 hours, I’m in no rush to find out before then just get it done! Expecting it to be someone we haven’t even discussed and comes out of the blue -

Morsey going to Ipswich is a surprise, he’s a shithouse but good enough for this league. Him and Cook forming their grin partnership again -

Wanted it to work out for Harry here but it’s been clear that’s not going to happen, he looked miserable warming up against West Brom recently A move seems best for everyone -

So we need a striker and are linked to Obafemi and then Lowe along with Bournemouth. Lowe has gone to Bournemouth and Obafemi is going to Swansea to replace Lowe. Hope ours is a good un -

Seems to be the direction we are going Anyone know a lot about Lowe? Be nice to have J Lowe back in the team -
Ah fair enough, I didn’t see them announce it and saw a few people asking, as I said I didn’t see them pick a winner but glad it did happen

He’s got a long name, he’s got a long name, Adetayo Oluwatosin Olusegun Adio Aduramigba Iretioluwa Edun, he’s got a long name! -

Interesting signing this lad can’t say I know too much about him but a decent cheap gamble maybe (full name Adetayo Oluwatosin Olusegun Adio Aduramigba Iretioluwa Edun) -

I don’t really care about motivations at all as long as they are good enough. Chaddy coming across like a scorned lover here, if we only sign players who want to play solely for the desire to be at Rovers we wouldn’t have much of a team at all -
The sponsors are just as bad, they did a Twitter competition for corporate hospitality for 10 people for the Swansea game and as far as I can see didn’t actually pick a winner so just got the exposure of lots of retweets Edit - corrected below it seems they did pick the winner just maybe didn’t announce it

I remember Pedersen using a towel on occasion, and his shirt on others. I also remember Burnley moving the advertising hoardings closer to the pitch when Stoke came to town. I tend to think it to be a minor thing to moan about as long as the ref is adding time on. There’s plenty of minor things done to try and improve performance or counter another teams strengths.
