There are several reasons this won't happen 😂 Cadamarteri most likely won't come here. Hedges might not play for Rovers again anyway. When did anyone ever get on the end of a Hedges cross?

Jimmy Radcliffe - My Ship Is Coming In

Imagine being RG, you are literally calling the shots on transfers (terribly) at one of the most historic clubs in the land and your CV includes ex footballer + work experience. It's astonishing. One day, they'll write a business book about these years....

Salgado was tough as well. Steve McManaman said of Salgado: "The hardest person in the world. A genuine psychopath, even in training."

Tinkering, and nickel and diming in the last week of transfer dealing is a good strategy said nobody ever.

Great shout, probably only played about 5 games for us. Nicky Marker another one that could look after himself.

Wasn’t a regular fixture, or here for very long, but Andy Morrison probably tops the list.

I think Elliot Jackson would be the best person to explain all the hype about Cadamarteri. As a Wednesday fan he will obviously know more about him than any of us and what his qualities (if any) are.

Why did Rovers need Sheffield Wednesday to tell them £750,000 wouldn't work... I could have told them that. I also could have told them the wage structure isn't high enough to buy a striker for £3m like Smit, so don't bother if another Championship club has any interest in the player. You aren't competitive in the market, or taking the league position seriously.

Hull are almost 2/1 - which is a ridiculous price when you look at the current form of the teams. They've won 8, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last 10 (counting their penalty shoot out victory over us as a win). They've won at Millwall, Middlesbrough, Southampton and Preston recently (admittedly drew at Sheffield Wednesday in the middle of all that).

In a struggling Sheffield Weds side. Just wait until he gets on the end of a Hedges cross.

Whilst I don't rate him, he can actually keep himself fit which actually makes him more useful to us than Wharton and Carter. What a woeful club!

If we sell Toth and Alebiosu and Tronstadt and Cantwell and Baradji and Jorgenson we should get one bench warmer from a league in Mogadishu fingers crossed!

Id say McLaughlin is a terrible signing personally. All of the above would be on the bench for most well ran championship clubs.

Looking at the players we have brought in since summer, I've identified 8 where I can't really tell you their absolute, best nailed down position, regardless of whether they are any good at football. Morishita Henriksson Baradji Miller Jorgensen TGH De Neve McLoughlin You could argue Miller has proven himself to be a RCB rather than a RB/RWB because of his inability on the ball, but, we were told he was a RB when he arrived. I also don't know if he'll be any good in a two if we persist with 2 CBs. Mcloughlin has cemented his place as a CB, more through necessity than him being outstanding. The rest, honestly, I couldn't tell you their best position. I don't think VI knows where they should play, I don't think he knows which formation suits them. Every squad needs a bit of versatility, but we just seem to have picked up a load of Jack of all trades, masters of none.

Roy Keane listed Batty as one of his toughest opponents and called him 'nasty'. I'd have Batty down as being hard.

Mobile and athletic - but doesn’t score goals

If you know you are playing 2 up front and need 4 strikers in the summer, and you sign Cadamarteri for around a million as your 4th choice then I think it's worth a punt, young, someone to work with etc. As your main striker signing (considering Jorgensen to be more of a winger) in January when you're in the bottom 3 though? Not so much.

I thought he looked quite useful when he played against us. Mobile and athletic. We won't get it over the line though.

Honestly I'm more concerned by that front 3 than by the lack of keeper.

Ismael said at the weekend that with the injured players back and a new signing we would have 8 bodies extra compared to v Swansea. Seems unlikely that we will get a deal done before then. Cadamarteri is a really underwhelming target.

Aren't Sheff W under administration? Rudy probably trying to trigger someone looking at a spreadsheet to let him go for below market value.

No goalkeeper? I'm off to the bookies with my house deeds

I'm a bit sceptical towards Pululu. Some players look like world beaters in the highlight reels but there might be more to the picture.
