Randall did say when he first joined we would sell to balance the books etc.

As sniffer aluded to, why go to Blackburn.

Perhaps there were no PL takers?
Unlikely I know - but odd that Rovers seemingly have the market to themselves...

Top prem clubs have probably decided hes not going to be the next Harry Kane and so have lost interest.

Probably .... after the Arsenal game he was at his peak...the months that followed ended up taking away the positives from that performance ...
Maybe there were also scouts from these clubs at the U21 Championships and they werent impressed with what they saw there eighter...in this applies to character and attitude not only ability...
referring to Olly Burke at WBA ... on Saturday his team trashed QPR by 7 goals ... and he didnt even play any part of it ... would you pay 12 million for him to get him back? how much is worth now? 5-6 million tops ... if Blackburn dont get our BB they might be tempted to spend the money on OB ... is he better? your comments...

Personal opinion:
I thought Ollie to be over valued at the time & I’m unsure as to the contribution that Brereton can make to our season - would sell @ £10m with the proviso that the money is reinvested.

Agreed PL. He aint going to improve our first team and thats exactly what we need right now. It needs to be accepted that some of our Academy talent will now and again be sold. We have to wheel and deal, such is the size of our club.

Oliver Burke imo would be an awesome signing, in simple terms he could pick the ball up by our corner flag, run the entire length of the pitch and score, maybe this won't happen often but I think he would get us more 'easy' goals, as opposed to 'probing' and ticky tacky stuff, I did think he was exciting and strong and inspired others, a bit like Matty Cash on cocaine, sign him up, this would soften the blow if we lost Ben, I would hate to lose Worrall I think he really should be stay, strong and generally fit and big!  :heart:

Good question.

Agree with this. Fawaz sales always came across as a desperate attempt to recoup some money (see Ollie Burke)

EM and Randall appear to have a far more cogent plan when it comes to transfer dealings
Too school for cool

I really don’t see the point in selling Brereton. Any replacement will cost similar and probably want more in wages. Where would we be better off?

Victor Anichebe is at the Blackburn game tonight. Maybe they're signing him and giving up on Brereton.

Mowbray after three players but one of them was from QPR who has turned them down.
