I think Serie A clubs should be looking at Mitrovic. He's a technically gifted player that lacks elite pace that is almost a prerequisite in today's Premier League. I've always thought of him as a poor man's Edin Dzeko. I think he could bag 20+ goals in that league. £28.5m would be tough to turn down for BBD, but I think the Rovers need to hold out until the summer. Promotion would be worth a lot more to Rovers than £28.5m. If Rovers don't go up, I think they could still get £20m this summer. He has the international pedigree that Armstrong lacks and there appears to be genuine interest from abroad in addition to the Premier League clubs.

I'd much rather see him as BBD's backup. He'll get limited minutes, but he doesn't offer anything when paired with BBD no matter who's playing the false 9. I'd like to see the front 3 like this... BBD/Gally Khadra/Markanday/Dolan Buckley/Dack/Dolan Don't play BBD and Gally together. Don't drop Buckley into a box to box CM. Let him create and roam a bit. Of course, I wouldn't replace BBD with Gally unless injured, exhausted or suspended.

First off the ref was abysmal. Hull's first goal was questionable. It was clearly over the line, but prior to that, it appeared to go over the end line before being crossed. BBD was brought down for a stonewall pen. Not given. Hull's 2nd goal was a farce. McGloughlin lined up Kaminski and plowed into him. Not even debatable. Clear foul. All that said, Rovers were awful and I think TM deserves a lot of blame. I like that he stuck with the current formation, but the players seemed lost by moving the guys into different positions. Khadra should have started up top alongside BBD. Gallagher to the bench. Buckley should have been in his normal role as well. Davenport or Johnson (I don't rate Johnson as I feel his legs have gone) should have started for Travis. I feel like TM disrupted the team by putting guys in roles they haven't played in months. JRC was a weak spot too, but the new RWBs weren't ready yet. Awful match. Awful lineup. Awful ref. Bounce back against Boro and Rovers will be fine.

Rovers and Fulham with automatic promotion. Hmmm that sounds familiar. 🤔

Just started playing again in Sweden after not playing since 2018. Shockingly, he's only 32. Actually his contract was terminated after a month.

Look, I think 99% of us are done with Mowbray, but do you want him to say "we have 7.2M to spend"??? Don't show your hand. We are clearly open for business, but we shouldn't tell teams what the owners are letting him spend. It's Negotiations 101.

He's at Anderlecht this season.

Our wage spend was 189% of our REVENUE last year. The wage bill had to come down. If we don't sign anyone now, with 12 players off the books and $10M for Armstrong (assuming Newcastle will get $5M), fans will have the right to be very upset. Let's see what happens over the next few days. There should be several incoming signings.

This is exactly why we did a separate deal. If it were a cash/swap deal, Obafemi's value would have to be taken into consideration. We would owe Newcastle another 2.4M (if Obafemi's valuation is 6M).

Mowbray can't admit that he knows the he is interested. It could be used against us if Newcastle protest. Legally nothing could stop Southampton from cancelling the deal. It sounds like they want rid and they just brought in a new striker.

We won't be buying Obafemi for 6M. We will be getting a cut rate deal. Here is how I see it breaking down: Armstrong sold for 15M, bought originally for 1.75M, but raised to 3M based on incentives. We owe Newcastle 40% of the profit on the deal. (15-3)*.40 = 4.8M. That leave Rovers with 10.2M. We will buy Obafemi for around 3M in a separate deal to avoid paying Newcastle an additional 40% on the 6M (2.4M) valuation of Obafemi.

ALMOST!!!

I honestly don't know right now. It appears that Buckley is playing a false 9. Well he's coming off now. Bizarre.

Haha he's moved Travis out wide into Gallagher's position.

Davenport for Buckley please!

Are foreigners not going to be able to stream games this year as in years past? I've been following Rovers for a long time and had a seasons pass to iFollow since they started streaming in 2017. Under the "View Subscriptions" button all I see is the Bolton preseason match listed. Is there not a season streaming pass on the new RoversTV? That would be brutal. I'd go from watching all 46 matches a year to getting to watch 3-4 on ESPN+. That would be devastating.

Don’t forget they can make 5 subs now. Changes the game.

Nyambe what a run/pass!!! Great finish too.

If I tried that, I’d be on my way to the hospital or morgue.

I did the exact same and the celebration was icing on the cake. Brilliant.

Hahahaha. Nope.

No.

THANK YOU!

Bell and Evans need to sit this weekend and for the season. The lineup should be: Kaminski Nyambi Lenihan/Willaims Ayala Douglas Holtby Trybull Rothwell Dolan/Elliott Armstrong Elliott/Brereton Work Dack in once he's ready. I can't get over how bad Evans is. He offers nothing going forward.

Davenport for Evans please. Much better on the ball and can run. Evans next to Johnson is pointless.
