That line "Blackburn have a couple of players they could trade if Steven Schumacher is interested in a deal" Dunno what to make of that. It does look they are incapable of paying any fees this summer due to their ongoing Venky cash crunch. So don't know what calibre of players they'd be willing to swap to get Lewis Baker in? Anyone who'd make a difference to us? Tronstad? Travis?

i personally think we should be keeping him. Especially if Laurent is going.

19 goals in 90 appearances (according to that article) is not to be sniffed at, can we afford to let that kind of goal return leave our goal shy squad, although hes another who doesnt show up often enough for me, its one or the other from baker and laurent, not both, think id keep baker out of the 2

Don’t want to sound like Baconburger with his Conway obsession, but Tronstad would be perfect imo, already knows Million and Burger. According to a Rovers fan I know, he was one of their best players last season, I think he’d fit right in

Dolan has always impressed me, quick thinking and direct, a bit too similar to Jun ho though 🤔

Any swaps would involve a consultation with Ennis in terms of character etc. Remember how much emphasis was put on this at the beginning. They are not likely to swap a prized asset though so you would imagine it would be a punt on potential or a cog for the way we want to play. SG was always a menace whenever we played them albeit an underwhelming goal return.

Baker for me drifts in and out of games way too much, yes, when he's involved, certainly in the final third, on his day he's very dangerous, but doesn't do it often enough over a season..

The 28-year-old has quality on the ball from deeper areas but it's the destructive side of the game which excels. He is excellent at breaking play up, stopping counter-attacks and distributing through the lines. He was very rarely injured last season but when he was, Rovers missed him.

Agree with this However noticeable in the two friendlies he's been playing much closer to goal, breaking the lines, than ever seen him play before, if the plan is to use him there I think we'd get more out of him on a more regular basis

Post by gingerninja on Jul 21, 2024 8:07:10 GMT
He has certainly looked extremely motivated in the 2 friendlies so far, whether this is because he's on it for the season, or is impressing for a potential move?.🤔

I agree with you Burger is a deep lying midfielder, so many of our fans want him further up the pitch.

Depends how they view Dixon and Anderson I suppose. People still want another CB and wouldn’t want us to go laying serious money on one. Nothing seems to get Stoke fans in a tizz like not having about 8 CB’s, it’s a Pulis hangover I’m sure.

We have 3 atm Dixon looking good if he can make it 4 that's great Like I've said many times we have three but several other players who could cover in an emergency. Another CB is only any good if the HC would play them instead of playing a more senior pro out of position and that sort of player would cost. Think Benji had a decent idea of taking the Ex Crewe lad O'Riordan (sp?) in exchange for Baker. Quite a bit of experience in mens football albeit not at this level. At least it's cost neutral we'd actually save a fair whack in wages I'd imagine.

Could see Stephens and Burger playing there if necessary, can't imagine anyone else, Junior if really stretched I'm assuming Laurent is leaving Definitely want minimum 4 actual CB's over a season plus Stephens and Burger If Dixon is that great, if he he's not ready then we need another 1 If the manager wants the option of playing a back 3/wingbacks we need to replace Hoever (or sign Hoever) Please not bring up TP, been watching way before him

Please not bring up TP, been watching way before him I'd really like that, I think he offers way more than Junior going forward but it's not a priority. I think another CB would be handy but I wouldn't want to see us lay much money on one. I'd like those things but don't want to see us dilute the forward budget to get them. I'm hoping for a CF on a perm and a pretty high profile loan who can play across the front line. To get players of note that's serious money even if the CF is McBurnie on a free. There'll have to be some serious jiggerypokery to fit him into our wage structure.

Agree the money angle The money has to go on the striker in all probability Hoever would be relatively expensive, assume it's a no go
