It wouldn’t be. And we need a centre forward - not another wide forward / winger.

We need wingers to play up front so we can play our forwards on the wing.

This video sums up Burke pretty well.

People looking at his record and moaning. But he's been playing Premier League & La Liga football. He's got individuality. Strong, pacey, would be great on the counter with Brereton.

Downside is no central forward, but that's hardly Oli's fault.

No good being strong and pacey if you have no end product. Plus its not about whose fault it is, he isnt what we need.

So you are saying that stats don’t tell the story here?

This is bizarro world stuff

We're in need of a striker to contribute with some goals. I'm not convinced our current squad (+ Burke) have enough goals in them.

Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve entered the twilight zone.

So in summary. The berk signed Burke. Existing berk wanted a striker but ended up with about 3 wingers which is ok because he thinks they’re strikers anyway. The new Burke is from Mowbray.

Joe, just for the record, I am not blaming Burke for Rovers not signing a permanent striker in this window. For that I am blaming the Rovers management at the club and the Transfer committee we have that decide who we target as signings and the transfer strategy in this window. Now if we sign Burke on loan along as permanent striker then I would have been delighted. 

I heard yourself on the Rovers chat transfer deadline special and the question you asked Ryan and Agree with your answers for how we moved forward as a club, which is through smart thought out signings for low cost, free signings and keep bringing through our academy players. 

Going forward, I think Rovers have to been solid defensive and play on the counter with our players. I think we have a decent squad and I think we will finish a mid table this season. Gallagher must play as the main number 9 striker from now on

Gally wide right, Diaz left, then one of Burke/Dolan/Poveda/Buckley/Clarkson through the middle. As I say, it’s gonna boil my piss seeing that this season.

Burke would be a great signing on a permanent. Loan would be disappointing if we don't sign a CF

Bayes: Rovers still trying in the striker search.

He must mean Burke.

Torgeir beat me to it.

Dale going blackpool, put us out of our misery and close that window

[LDRover]

[davulsukur]

We haven't replaced Armstrong, lost Elliott plus a load of others and even with them we were shite last season, how do you think we improve this season

[matt83]

Reminds me of the pub league used to play in ring around at the twelfth hour just to get bodies in and the game to go ahead. 

[G Somerset Rover]

Contrary to what I just posted from Bayes, according to Sharpe we’re looking done for the night. Does that mean we’re not even landing Burke on loan?! 

[chaddyrovers]

Oliver Burke medical completely 

[Torgeir]

Scraping the bottom of the barrel by now in our striker search.
