It closes 11pm tomorrow.

I know we've signed the old fella, but are there any updates on anyone else?

This massively depends on how important you think he is to the team.

It could still happen, but with him being the only (proper) senior striker at the club, they'll want someone else through the door first. I'll be surprised if he doesn't go purely based on his wages but perhaps the Wharton sale will mean we keep him.

Don't spoil it.

I believe they were fine before they had two professional footballers too. He's been being pushed out of the door for a lot longer than this last week. Lad wasn't happy about it, wanted to stay here. But back then there wasn't the huge sums that there currently are. Sad really, heart wants to stay here but head can see it's too much of an opportunity to pass up. Especially with the state Rovers are in right now. I wish him all the best.

Certainly don't go mad, but with underinvestment last Summer we're already stretched. Last time I looked we were in 18th place and falling. 8 points from the drop zone.

It's a load of McBollocks.

He still needs to be able to play for those 4 months. Coventry fans think he's done. Signing a 37 year old is fucking bonkers whichever way you spin it. Some people were saying Danny Batth was over the hill at almost 33.

So the old fella comes in as our second CB signing. Which would be a ridiculous signing if true. Wharton goes, we need to replace him with a good midfielder. We need two strikers, freshen up our attack. Get Ennis (loan) and Gallagher (Ipswich) out. Could do with a winger too. And a left back. All that with our recruitment dept, in 24 hours.

The above is complete made up rubbish folks. The other poster was right. He lives at home, he loves Rovers, and he wanted a crack at getting the club promoted. His family are Rovers fans and he was living the dream. They were trying to shove him out the door at the tail end of last season and he wasn’t happy about it. Unfair to blame the lad for any of this.

So that's that then. We're signing his Mum.

I was getting Mandela effect vibes so I'm glad other people are saying he's signed a contract.

Siggy signed permanently.

Kaminski going was always happening once a PL club had shown an interest. The biggest shame was the amount we got for him. My point was, Pears getting injured and having to perservere with Wahlstedt was damn bad luck. Pears isn't ideal but we wouldn't be -12 goal difference.

Or a meat shield as Venkys like to call them.

At the moment I'd say it's 50/50. He signed the bloke that hopefully scores the goals to keep us up this season. On the other hand Wahlstedt was a massive mistake and is a big reason for our decline. I can't blame him for the striker situation as he wanted to aim higher but his hands were tied by wankys.

He gets plenty of blame on here and social media. Making him the scapegoat for all of our recruitment errors isn't helpful.

Anyone recommending Cooper automatically revokes their rights to criticising Broughton, or moan that we have a leaky defence on a match day.

Broughton isn't perfect, but it's stuff like this that excuses the owners.

Leeds fans call him a donkey.

Injured, Travis is on loan. We're already stretched.

I think Palace want to play him.

Wahlstedt is his major mistake. However the three strikers were all brought in for nothing. He wanted better strikers then Enny and Telly in the Summer but wasn't given the money.

So who are we replacing him with?
