G Somerset Rover

Shambles as Gary Neville would say. Not a chance in hell that we’re replacing Arma’s 29 goals with our current crop, so we better bloody hope that Ayala stays fit, otherwise IMO we’re going to be in deep trouble. Another God awful transfer window under this lot to add to the every growing list.

I can’t believe there wasn’t a current or ex Boro striker that Mowbray couldn’t sort out for a few quid. That’s when you know we’ve got problems signing any bugger.

Contrary to what I just posted from Bayes, according to Sharpe we’re looking done for the night. Does that mean we’re not even landing Burke on loan?!

Bayes: Rovers still trying in the striker search. He must mean Burke. Torgeir beat me to it.

Gally wide right, Diaz left, then one of Burke/Dolan/Poveda/Buckley/Clarkson through the middle. As I say, it’s gonna boil my piss seeing that this season.

It wouldn’t be. And we need a centre forward - not another wide forward / winger.

It’s because he’s sh*te and he’s not a centre forward. Is our plan just to play 3 wingers up front every week? Mowbray, Waggott and our owners boil my p*ss.

Jesus Christ. He’s not a f*cking striker Tony!!! Sick to death of all these wide players coming in and blatant further use of this ‘false 9’ crap.

Strikes me as a player who Sheff Utd have been trying to flog the whole window - every other bugger in the league has said ‘no’, so we’re gonna end up with him as we couldn’t organise a piss up in a brewery elsewhere.

If that’s the name Sharpe is running with then you would imagine it’s Burke or nobody. And it’ll be a loan if he even did come. And he’s not even a CF. Knew today would be extremely frustrating.

I could see that on loan. Please nobody claim he’s a striker (deff more of a wide forward for me). Kid couldn’t hit a barn door.

Seems like the shortlist started and ended with Obafemi. Piss poor.

Couldn't tell you to be honest. Just talking about bringing in loans in general. Unless they're diamonds, I don't see the point personally. Seems to be a case of throwing lots of sh*t and hoping something sticks.

Unless you bag a worldy like Elliot. Which we haven't/won't.

Andre Gray confirmed at QPR.

Alex Collado is an insane bit of business for Sheff Utd. God knows how they’ve managed to get him; I thought he’d be fighting for a spot at Barca.

100% gearing up to be a final loan isn’t it. As predicted.

Swansea signed Rhys Williams on loan from Loverpool too. They’re doing some decent business today! Edit: Blue and White beat me to it!

Well there goes the ‘Saints aren’t letting him go’ rollocks. As I said earlier, just hope we have someone else lined up otherwise we’ve had a stinker chasing him for so long.

Yep - seemed a non starter all along. I hope we haven’t wasted too much time behind the scenes. ‘We tried’ is still my prediction. Prove me wrong, Tony, please.

Yeah just seen that. Not fussed on this Brighton lad to be honest, but happy to eat my words! A permanent striker is still an absolute must for me.

Yep - I’d definitely see him as more of a wideman/inside forward. All the signs point to Mowbray not being after any out and out centre forward. Crazy if so.

I’m still confident that we won’t land any striker on a permanent basis.

Sharpe says ‘progress made’ with striker. I hope it’s a proper CF and not this PNE lad.

To be fair, I think he was about 18-19 then, so understandably he only had occasional sub appearances. Expecting (hoping!) for better from he and Clarkson soon though, otherwise I fear we’re just preventing more of our lads from progressing.
