No striker makes it a failure.

Again, there'll be deals being finalised throughout the night everywhere. As long as the paperwork to say we're working on a deal is in by 11, then we're ok.

Wouldn't we just have to get the paperwork in by 11pm to say we're working on a deal? Ala Zurab.

That was what I was going to post originally. But considering our history with how we do loan deals, I suspect we aren't able to without being financially penalised.

Sky won't have the foggiest what the latest is with Rovers.

Midfielder then striker in that order for me. So I'm glad to see this O'Brien move might happen. I'd be hopeful we send one of ours out on loan though to get some experience.

Ironically, the profile has said we're after George Francombe from Crawley, who has one League 2 start this season. Probably more in the wheelhouse of where we're looking at this hour.

follows 6 people, has an embedded link that goes to some crypto page and the profiles first post was 1 hour ago. I put it in the file marked bollocks. Probably some kid using ChatGPT or something.

At 22, he had 17 in 34 for Cercle Brugge. For comparison, At 25, Undav had 25 in 33.

To be fair, Ugbo has 1 in 16 from his loan at Barnsley (aged 19).

I'm pretty sure at the first 3 clubs. He was 19,18 and 17 respectively.

Looking at his stats, it genuinely looks like an ok signing. He was part of the Chelsea youth setup that was loaned all over Europe. He's played at Cercle Brugge (17 in 34) and Roda (13 in 29). He's had inconsistent minutes at Troyes, but did score a few last season on loan there. He also had 47 minutes at the WC with Canada. And he did manage a goal in the championship in the 17/18 season. So is that better than Hirst?

Well they'd better hope they can get a decent striker in if they want to try and distract from a BBD pre-contract announcement.

Could be a loan with a view? Ala Hirst and Mola. I'm not adverse to loan signings, if they fit the 'project' we keep hearing about and we have an option to buy should they work out.

Think there's just the one. Remi is Dutch and the rest are British i think? Either way, as Andy said, it went down pretty fast once people pointed it out.

Its been deleted since, but shortly before the post on here I saw something on Twitter about it. It opened up with, 'apparently a friend of a friend is mates with Lewis Travis'. Mentioned something about him going to Milwall because of a fall out. Then cracked on about how JDT has lost the dressing room because they think hes a bit of a clown and all the coaching staff speak Danish to each other.

Is that based off that load of shite posted on Twitter about all the coaching staff speaking Danish and "he's lost the dressing room"?

I think Ryunya Bollocksov was something Nixon tweeted and a certain member brought it to this board as a 'scoop'.

Is there any chance of a buy option for Undav? Similar to the Hirst deal, or is that pie in the sky stuff? No idea how much Brighton bought him for. Although they've not been as effective as I'd hoped. It was refreshing to see an option for both Mola and Hirst.

Know nothing about him, but looking at some YouTube videos he looks like another Norwegian more than comfortable using either foot.

Did we ever find out who the new Head of European Scouting was? I may well have missed it.

Glad Kaminski will be staying around, but genuinely surprised he hasn't made their top 3, although I don't know much about Casteels. Shame for him but good for us.

I'm a bit confused here. The same Brittain who's won our two corners in this second half and at least one in our first half and had our best chance of the game? (Granted he should've done better with it.)

Brittain is absolute quality isn't he.
