in training, due back playing by end of Jan

Back in a couple of weeks I think.

I have said it before, but with Hedges out and potentially Alebiosu off it wouldn't be daft to re think the system a bit - we might genuinely be going back to playing with wingers, Morishita and this guy on paper might be pretty good. Not that I can remember how long Morishita is out for... he's back soon, right??

Alebiosu not likely going to be here next season / if he gets injured again this season there’s adequate back up but my main issue as outlined we need a striker an this shouldn’t be championed as one of the two strikers that we need

looks like he can drive the net tbf

Good point, I actually think could have been a major factor.

This reminds me of a book called 'Rocky Stories: Tales of Love, Hope, and Happiness at America's Most Famous Steps' where people were interviewed about why they're running up the famous 'Rocky Steps' in Philly. I bet a Rovers fans book in general would be pretty brilliant especially about a range of Rovers topics from their love of Rovers, memories over the years, away day adventures etc.

Unless there's other plans for Alebiosu...

Wow, Dønnum is a suprise signing. Suprised they managed to get him, as he's far more established profile than the usual Gestede bingo. Established for the national team, lot's of experience as well. Dropping to lower Championship from top half French League as well in a World Cup year. Spent most of his early career as a right winger with a decent goal return. But I know he's played wing-back for Toulouse so probably flexible. Bit of a character, good work-rate, can dribble and a good left foot for deliveries. Think the fans will take to him. Good addition, but would be suprised if they seem him as a striker.

After his loan with us is finished?

Aye, Mogga would have shown him the door with those tattoos 😄

As soon as I read can play wingback my first thought was they're going to sell Alebiosu. Unless it's planned hes a LWB.

His lady is playing for Manchester united and they are expecting their first child in May... I smell a permanent!

God knows

Notice his wife plays for Man U Women. Not an obvious consideration but maybe something to consider as the women's game grows, if their partners play they'll likely prefer to be based in the same area

Yep

If he's a RWB, why is it a good signing when Alebiosu plays there? Seems completely pointless.

All bar the position we’re crying out for which was deemed a priority - now we have signed a cb and versatile player who mainly plays on the wing

Has also played in the Europa league. Just info if anyone didn’t know.

He's a funny character. His looks are abit Geordie shore 😅 Will have the whitest teeth in Lancashire

Good work Mercer. If you're right about this can we assume you're also right about the bid for the club and all is going to be well?

Yeah I’m one of them. Fair play.

From the clips ive seen. Mainly a right wing back. Fairly solid to be fair but can he do it in the championship m. Let’s hope so.
