Be interesting who misses out on the 25 man squad if we did get one more striker in.

That would make for 29 players who could be registered.

Toth, Pears

Alebiosu, Miller, Carter, O'Riordan, McLoughlin, Wharton, Pratt, Cashin, Pickering, Riberio

Morishita, Tronstad, Forshaw, Bardji, Tavares, Gardner-Hickman, Garrett, Kargbo, De Neve, Hedges, Afolayan

Cantwell, Henriksson

Gudjohnsen, Ohashi, Jorgensen, New

 

Obviously Garrett would be one, then one of either Pickering/Riberio I imagine.

Pratt loan maybe? Hedges to miss out because of injury?

Sack Henrikson, De Neve & Tavares off because they will never be good enough?

Garrett will be nowhere near.

Hedges

Pratt (left out or loaned out)

One of Pickering / Ribiero will be gone

Cadamateri unlikely according to EJ

I'd be half tempted to send Gardner-Hickman back, think he will be 5th choice in midfield now with Montgomery and Forshaw back.

[Bohinen1983]

So would I, he isn't good enough- Foreshaw is significantly better.

Surely there's a few quality CM's knocking about in league one or two that can control a midfield that are worth a gamble.

Our centre mid is eye wateringly poor in my humble opinion.  Still desperately need another striker too.

I bet Ryan Hardie's name will be mentioned before the day is over.

Rovers' Deadline Day Betting:

4/6 - Alebiosu to be sold with less than an hour of the window remaining
EVENS - Ismael to leave the club within a week of the window closing
2/1 - Rovers to make a ridiculously low offer for a player that they've no intention of signing
5/1 - Rovers to somehow miss out on a player due to an admin error
16/1 - Rovers to sign a player that I've actually heard of

[MarkBRFC]

I actually don't think Alebiosu will be sold today.

100% it will be. He won't be signing though.

And we will be beaten to him by Bolton.

Bolton keen apparently but Wrexham won't let him go without replacement. Also injured.Not for us, got my heart set on the Motherwell lad,.more fool me

[ROVER_N_OUT1978]

If Hardie is fit I would take him in a heartbeat but we will end up with some 2nd division Belgian guy with 2 goals in 30 appearances who will need 6 months to adapt 🙄

[TugaysMarlboro]

Forshaw has pleasantly surprised me the past couple of games, but he can't be relied on for the rest of the season.

Baradji is being rotated, I imagine due to his previous injury, so I'd expect that to continue. 

I'd keep Gardner Hickman if only for the fact he can play a full 90 minutes and hasn't seemingly been injured much this season.

That's not me advocating his ability as a player, more that we have others who are worse than him and a few who can't string together 5 games without breaking down.

No chance. All Brum fans told us he is actually half-decent in League One, so they'll need to make sure he's on board for next season.

[rovers11]

The Cadamateri deal was off as soon as other clubs became interested. No player joins us if they have other options.

Can I put my mortgage on a double please?

[roversfan99]

Im guessing that Ismael has his pre match press conference today so we can find out then that there will be no striker coming in.

[Tomphil2]

Nobody seemed to want Cadamateri so lets not pretend it's a big deal if he doesn't come.

Offers nothing more than what we have imo.

Only thing worse than not signing anyone is signing more of the same you don't really need in an act of desperation to make it look like you are doing something.

Heard this lad Travis at Derby might be worth a punt. Maybe we should take a punt with an offer.

Oh wait ...

Will he been loaned with an option to buy at the ned of the season instead?

Just to give an extra layer of excuses as to why no money was spent 😉

Whilst I agree and wouldn't be enamoured by his signing, I also think it's quite damning that we are incapable of putting a reasonable offer together to a team in the same league where everyone is for sale.

Our recruitment team seems so amateur on every level and it shows in the squad.

Agreed but i get the impression they were maybe not that serious anyway and just thought they could grab someone cheap for the sake of it.

Probably expected Weds to grab the first offer on the table but even them in their situation weren't having the piss taken by this bunch of clowns.
