I would say stats don’t always tell the whole story, I’m sure Danny Graham didn’t have great stats after his good seasons with Watford

I can get it in that we can play different strikers for different opposition gueye- strength, hold up play, Ariel threat Dennis- speed, strength, run the channels woodrow- clean striker of the ball, can score from outside the area, looks to pick up loose balls in the box, wing back cut backs/ crosses

I’m Scottish and watch a fair bit of spl, shankland is slow, overweight and generally unfit. He was generally blamed for Naismith getting binned early in the season as hearts were bottom and he was missing good chances galore, generally feeling was that he was having his purple patch season last year and now he is where he is more at. He is not champ quality, he would really struggle in the league. Not quick, not tall/ strong, think dickov without the grittiness

I’m actually not dead against the Woodrow one if true, wanted him when he was at Barnsley , scored some cracking goals and has previous with brittain. he is by far a better option than shankland

Need somebody else to mix the contracts up and have cauley Dennis and Emmanuel Woodrow on the contracts to scupper the deal last minute

Believe I did say Dennis start of January and we would be rushing one through that’s been hush hush until today 😉

Think he is so similar to warnock , even slightly looks like him

Yup this, his strength is tackling and stopping wingers , saw his attacking attributes on Friday when he should have scored

Riberio is a decent signing but beck has been one of our strongest players this year so it’s not exactly one to come into the first 11

I’d rather Woodrow than shankland but neither are exciting or even champ quality

Ahh your all falling into the trap of hedges again, said he wasn’t good enough coming from Scotland and shankland will be the same, I’d honestly rather get nobody

Shankland has been terrible this year, overweight and unfit, it’s a terrible signing

I really hope you are wrong

How angry does this image make you? Absolute trigger

Honestly you do not want shankland , please heed my warning as I live in Scotland and warned re hedges, utter one season wonder, he has been awful this season and is overweight and unfit

Ahh this is just a hunch I’m afraid

Still think there will be a left field deal coming out shortly , player not already linked

If this really is our lot and granted we still have time to do something but if we don’t I want whoever has capability, to be asking waggot, gestede, what on earth is going on for us to throw away another very good chance with a poor January recruitment. Where do we go from here , simply we can’t continue doing this and expect the fans to back them with their money on a Saturday afternoon. So frustrating seeing the same mistakes over and over again

Footballers aren’t particularly known for their intellect , and we have had a few that iv thought look like they wouldn’t be particularly pleasant in a social setting- el hadj diouf for example, but as long as they are not physically hurting anyone or breaking the law I think we can just let the football do the talking and leave personal and political beliefs out of the terraces. Certainly wouldn’t be against the signing if by a miracle we stumped up the cash

Didn’t think it was a dominant performance but a great and much needed 3 points to keep us interested. Rode our luck at the end, we looked hella nervy after 90 mins. Gueye has improved massively, got odds on a scoring streak? Pears back to being inconsistent and a bit of a liability. Think we need to part ways next season and get a new keeper. hedges is absolutely rotten, what exactly does he do? He looks busy but creates and scores 0, replace replace replace

As much as I agree with you , this isn’t our club as we all know it and fell in love with, how are we as middling fans going to get them out because if there was a way I’m sure we would have activated it by now. We can’t do anything but voice our disapproval by whatever channels we have but in reality, it’s doing nothing. Nobody can get them out but themselves

Heard osula on a loan is a possibility

If we do sell, assuming we are priced out of johannssen at stoke my next choice would be mitov at Aberdeen , stands out in the spl, Bulgarian international

Would be one of the biggest shock sales at rovers to me if boro bought back pears. I’m not a fan and if we can get some money for him this is ok by me- if and it’s a big if- we suitably upgrade

Not that I believe it for a second but there is no way in hell we would get 5 mill for pears, would be a similar fee to kaminsky
