How quickly people forget what a coup it was to get him in at the time. Yes the Club has put paced his talent, but given time am sure there is a player there....but accept that will only happen elsewhere. |

This has been my summer fever dream....can't come true can it?! Make it happen Mr Ashton..... and try and keep Sammy too. If that happens then (and only then) I will agree with the bookies about us being favourites! |

Comment | Morsy Flying Out to Kuwait Today
at 12:53:40
Legendary status already assured. Top player, top man, who has arguably completed English football due to coming to our wonderful Club. I was proud to see him lead us out at so many major stadia, to lead us to promotions and be such an ambassador for us. Am sure he feels he can play into his 40s but also understand the Club can only go so far to keep him financially.
Even if he turns this opp down now, this trip is a sensible reccy for the future, but I really do believe he is not ready to leave us just yet and we still need our main man to (at very least) set the standards. However, he is for sure correct in putting his family first.... we have to accept we are his 2nd family!
Right behind your Sammy, regardless. Always a Blue! |

at 15:00:55
Well done all concerned and that we put the BS that it didn't matter (not current leadership) behind us. It always did and does today. More pressure on the Academy to deliver 1st team players too, which is also good news |

Comment | Blues Among Clubs Linked With Scotland International Miller
at 14:56:39
What he needs to know is if he will get regular minutes, given his age, progression and amount of games he has already played. What we need is an upgrade in midfield for this season and someone who will then be more productive at Prem level than what we had last season. If these boxes are ticked by Ashton/McKenna then break the bank and go get him....but suspect that is unlikely not least due to (latest trend) physique. |

Comment | Burnley Now Leading Cajuste Chase
at 18:06:25
I repeat. Love the guy but was not physical enough, nor able to be fit enough to help keep us up. We need to be bringing in Prem-ready players and as much as I loved his style and ability, the whole package is wrong for us. Dodged a bullet i suspect. |

Comment | Cajuste's Besiktas Move Still in Question
at 20:04:27
I guess this is the kind of redundant content you get when literally nothing is (on the surface at least) happening. We only really need 4 quality signings (1 CB, 2 CM, 1 CF) and would assume we identified targets ages ago, so the Club is presumably working on and holding out for them....but be so good to hear something! |

Comment | Hirst: Somewhere I Feel Valued and Wanted

Wonder how things would have played out if George started last season fit and in the team. He/we will never know but his loss was massive and this is great news. A bit like Omari, he was shunted around before finding a home at Town. Honestly think this is the right deciding for George....and Omari should take note and do same! Now for some NEW signings! |

Comment | Players Return For Pre-Season Training

Chieo and Harry down the right could tear things up this season and give Leif room to do his thing on the left....welcome back lads.
PS for those Harry haters on here who have critized him before when he basically played the whole of the Championship season injured and in pain. We are yet to see him him fully fit and flying at this level, so please give him a chance now he has finally had his op! |

Comment | Young Full-Back Lewis Signs First Pro Deal
at 10:38:52
Great stuff and delighted for the lad. Has to be said though that this season in the Champoionship is (hopefully) a short window for young players to impress and get game time, as that 'oxygen' was in short supply in the Prem. And at 18, you have to be making inroads on the 1st team, otherwise why sign....maybe why he delayed. We have a few players that have come to the Club in their late teens recently; it cannot just be to improve the U21 side (though that has merit) but has to be aboutproviding talent to the 1st team.....and Ashton will expect results and soon from the Academy....I hope ! |

Comment | Tuanzebe: Memorable Two Years, Thank You
at 11:06:01
Great guy, was our best defender when on the pitch but I maintain that we need more offensive capability from RB slot this season....there will only vbe a handful of games where we will need to shut up shop...so maybe he is not the profile for this year. Plus, he wants to be in the NW so good luck to Axel and family, be well....it has been a pleasure ! |

Good grief, let's not make an agenda of everything. A player we have appreciated and that has grown with us, has lit up the final of a European tournament. I am proud of and for Omari ! End of. |

We need to relax when people leave as we develop coaches as well as players and they cannot all be boss....and under this management, every departure is an opportunity to recruit better! The times they have a changed! |

Comment | Villa and French Sides Linked With Cajuste
at 13:43:43
With the greatest respect....SO WHAT ?! Never saw him as suitable or capable of a full Championship season, despite his quality. Midfield needs a complete overhaul now so let's go invest in quality, younger players like Josh Brownhill (OK not so young), Jason Knight and esp (Morsy successor) Hayden Hackney. |

Comment | Trabzonspor Concerns Over Tuanzebe Injury Record
at 15:35:52
Axel is a great player who has had his issues and should know that the grass is not greener....highlighted by the Turks already trying to penny pinch before he has even signed !
I still think Axel needs coaxing through a long Championship season and would dovetail well with Harry. In most games Harry would help put us on the front foot, and in some of the tougher games, Axel can shore up the defence....they could dovetail well. And if/when we get promoted again they would hopefully both be fitter/stronger to better compete at that level as we know Axel can....and I suspect Harry can too if plays injury free. people forget Harry carried an injury for almost all of our Championship promotion run and so we do not know quite how good he can be yet...plus he is still young ! |

Comment | Trabzonspor President Confirms Tuanzebe Interest
at 13:54:59
Tough one. Club must feel there is an element of a gamble here with his health history and wages involved. Also, do we need a defensive RB in the championship? We have not seen a fully fit Harry Clarke for 2 years almost, but if he is fit then I think his profile and ability to push us up the pitch may be a better option....even if Axel is (arguably) the better defender. |

Comment | Szmodics: I Refused to Play For Blackburn
at 13:22:36
Easy to say things could have been so different if we had got business done early last summer, with Sammy getting time to bed in and a proper, ITFC-level pre-season.....but am guessing the Club were aiming higher. Turns out Sammy was one of the few that looked decent at premier league level and am curious how KMcK will handle Sammy this season as he could/should tear it up...esp if we play with a Hirst (rather than a Delap) up top who will create the space for our 10s ! |

Thanks Cam. There is much more that can be said about the choices we have made and decisions that have lead to your leaving but sometimes things can wait and we just need to be grateful for what we had. Thanks again, you gave it everything and we gave you everything back except a song (soz) ! :-) |
