Tick tock…..repeat adfinitum 

[RoversClitheroe]

Absolutely embarrassing for the club if we don't get a perm striker in.

And RE Maja someone on FB originally posted about it saying he had heard from an ex player.

it does`nt work like that though,you need to bring your own young players through and give them experience,some will make it,some won`t,doing it the current way just inhibits their progress,you only get better by playing with better players,if your good enough you`ll get games if you not then you`ll be released

I understand and agree to a certain extent what you're saying. I think you can do that with a couple of younger players each season. However, with number of younger players we have that could claim to deserve a chance in the first team, it just isn't feasible for us to afford them that without severely harming the quality of the team.

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

For all I think the squad is piss poor and needs strengthening in a way new faces concerns me. With Tonebola more options means more tinkering and lunacy. He’s at his best (in the loosest definition of the word) when his hands are tied and there’s limited options.

good point,though if we had a balanced side we would`nt need to import loan players and could bring on our own gradually,the blame lies on mowbray tbh

I know it won’t happen but if we signed Josh Maja that would be an unreal signing.

It would be a masterclass.

Has he ever broke a transfer story before anybody else? Always seems to be the Pete O'Rourke guy on Twitter that breaks our transfers and Rich and Jaquob pick it up immediately after from what I've seen. 

They never post anything that can jeopardise their relationship with the club. Always names a player we were chasing or just when we're about to sign him. If the club wants to cast some bait, then they'll let them name them too, like Obafemi. O'Rourke is freelance I believe, so he doesn't have the same ties to the club.

Chapman to burton Albion..

Why re-sign him in the first place. another bad move this summer by the club

Rovers looking at Sheyi Ojo as one of the loan options mentioned.

We don't need another bloody winger but a permanent striker. 

He's 24 years old. Far too many loans.

no strengthening of the defence. 

we signed 2 defenders. 

 

[TruRover]

It’s interesting that noises out of the club are positive that a deal for a striker will be reached but there’s literally no names currently floating about.

Most of our permanent signings have always been kept well under wraps till the last minute, hopefully it’s the same again for a striker.

We signed a Dutch centre back. 

Plus Carter and Wharton backing up Lenihan and Ayala

[Iceman]

if only we had proper people in charge, we could have gone in for Alex Collado 😒

[matt83]

In the mind of moggasurus strikers and wingers are totally interchangeable. It’s not even a question for him. Perhaps he thinks strikers are already here in great abundance.

For context, the lad hasn’t played a single game of league football in the UK.

That's because it will literally be a "no name" striker

Don't usually promote stuff in here but we're doing a live deadline day show, completely Rovers orientated, from 8:30pm tonight. We'll have Jaquob Crooke, Rich Sharpe, @Herbie6590 & a few more live on the air as the deadline day clock counts down. Hopefully get an exclusive or two from the reporters. Feel free to join us later 

 

Had to search back for this when I remembered. Probably a good time to re-post.

He may be decent in the championship given previous showings at a higher level - but I’m not sure quite why he’d be out of our grasp transfer wise.
