Think it'll be Gudjohnsen and a free agent striker. Can't see them spending out on 2. -

The thing is we need the players now, not in the future. Leonard is not championship level now, he may be in the future. -

Down to two strikers in the squad now. We had Ramsey's Wingless Wonders - now meet Ismael's Toothless Terrors! -

No clue on the points system with regards to overseas signings, but would Gudjonnsen qualify. I notice he was born in London so maybe that is enough. -

Would Smit not need an ESC slots? Gudjohnsen in and Leonard out I'm fine with...although its always sad to see an academy player go, Leonard just never looked like he'd be able to get a solid run of games behind him. I can't see Rovers bringing in 2 strikers when we only pay 1 up top. Unless Gueye is on his way as well, which I highly doubt. -
Wharton has been included in the England squad for the forthcoming World Cup quaifiers.

It's a real shame about Harry Leonard leaving as I really thought he was destined for the top but injuries have impeded his progress. I hope he stays fit and I really hope we have inserted buy back and a healthy sell on clauses in the deal. -

Too big a wage? Maybe Jan? -

This Smit lad looks like he plays wide left too (similar to Brereton-Diaz). Would provide plenty of depth. DeNeve might have his nose pushed out of joint though. -

We could get two fees- one for Pears and one for his hair -

I think selling Leonard is the right choice given the fee. I noticed on a few occasions he'd get into a good position with the ball and then almost seize up even if just for a split second before shooting by which time a defender had the chance to stick a leg out and block it. I think that the ability to get a shot off when you get the chance is often innate and is the barrier between a player who scores for in the comparatively low-pressure and low-pace academy league games becoming a professional striker in the championship. Of course it may have developed if he hadn't had so many injury problems but to me he just didn't posses that killer instinct, he may however thrive in the lower leagues and hit double figure seasons where he has more time to think about his shots. -

Think VI has seen what us fans have seen for a while - we are powderpuff up top. Two new strikers suggests that hasn't gone unnoticed by the coaching team. I wouldn't be surprised to see Ohashi used more on the RW, where I thought he was really good at the beginning of last season. Definitely think Gueye is out the door in Jan. Think VI has already seen enough and deemed him nowhere near good enough. -

Yes, he should be Eiderson -

He's been completely frozen out, so he has to be leaving this window. -

RG has sold Pahsa the idea that no player should be paid above 10k a week and success (not promotion because he has stated that is not the aim) can still be achieved. Outgoings are broadly similar to income (will be if a new striker comes in) but plenty has been saved on wages, Raya money, backroom staff, SWAG etc). Agents presumably still being paid. -

Yes there is a striker in Harry Leonard but in the few appearances I saw of him he was the easiest forward I can recall seeing for a Championship defender to legitimately ease off the ball. Hope they serve a lot of spinach in the Peterborough canteen... Very surprising 1m coming in for him- not on my bingo card for the end of the transfer window. But the problem is my bingo card is jammed in the fax machine. -

Oh is that his son? I thought they had weird naming conventions over there? I wasn't expecting him to be a Gudjohnson. -

Maybe the fans forum gave Pasha the wonderfully out of the box idea of actually reinvesting a % of money from sales Which he apparently had never thought of before it was mentioned to him -

Can anyone put their finger on what has changed regarding Rovers transfer policy this window ? It appears that the mantra of any revenue from outgoing transfers not being reinvested in the squad has gone completely out of the window (thank god), and that loan signings will be a last resort. Have to say I for one, am all for it -
