January Transfer Window.

[Bbrovers2288]

Surely some sort of pun with the signings of Thomas , cook, 

hopefully rest of our players aren’t on the beach by now already 

[RoversClitheroe]

O'Brien in and Morton sent back would be fantastic business 

[Rochdale_rover]

O'brien would be our best midfielder by a mile . Was brilliant at Huddersfield .

Honestly think a midfielder is needed more than any position . Ours is awful

He absolutely is needed. Proven top quality championship midfielder. Shocked at that, we've been as awful if not worse in midfield this season than up front.

[bluebruce]

This must be the stupidest thing I've seen Sharpe post in a while:

'6:16pm

The talk all month of Rovers not having any money and potentially signing up for what would be a record fee in the summer. What a club. '

It's a record fee if we go up, at which point obviously we will have money. Duh. Unless it's a mandated summer buy even if we stay down, in which case I'd be absolutely and utterly astonished.

I can’t for the life of me work out why we’d spend a penny on a centre back when we are so desperate for a number 9. 

Decent striker is far more difficult too find and tend to cost alot more. If you gamble on one and it doesn't pay off it's a lot more noticeable too.

[Rochdale_rover]

This is why we need O'brien.  The perfect midfielder for the championship. 

 

Everything morton could only dream of being

Because Wharton is currently unreliable and Ayala is due his couple of winter months off. 

When we played Forest at Ewood last season Cook never put a foot wrong all night. Signing him was a master stroke for Forest last season.

Sharpe hopeful 

 

 

Player might decide against. Easier to sit on the bench or in the stand for 3 months.

Not sure it will do much good if they have to line up alongside Morton every game.

Does anybody know, when O'Brien excelled at Huddersfield, was he playing in a central midfield 2, or a 3?

I'm nervous,  would be a coup so I really don't want us to mess it up

[BankEnd Rover]

[Fraserkirky]

O’Brien would be first name on the team sheet. Phenomenal midfielder

He wouldn’t be at Brockhall having a medical right now if he didn’t fancy the move…

[neophox]

Still hopeful we get a striker in before deadline.

[BankEnd Rover]

Not too fussed about cook. We need a striker, simple.

I imagine if it's going as reported that he has already indicated he is interest. Surely he can't be linked all day and be reported as "edging closer" for him to just say "nah". It's clearly a runner.

By default even our current crop of strikers should improve with Obrien picking the ball up making things happen  going forward.

If it fails now I'd be gutted, if it happens it's a huge coup.

Yeap, guessing it would be a failed medical now for it to not happen.

[AJW]

I honestly think if we were win for a striker a name would be out there by now 

[ItsRoverZ]

Shame about cook! Him and hyam would of been a brilliant partnership,  cook offers leadership and experience at the back in which we lack a little 

[TugaysMarlboro]

 

Midfielder then striker in that order for me. So I'm glad to see this O'Brien move might happen. 

I'd be hopeful we send one of ours out on loan though to get some experience.

Be just like rovers "oh shit he's actually here, quick doc find something with the medical, anything!!!...yes so Mr.O' Brien turns out you are pregnant so we are gonna have to pull the plug, sorry. Send word to Pune, we've done it again!"
