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

If this deal happens its going to be mental. How the hell he sees this working i have no idea.

Also, we'll probably end up with a loaned front 3

Brighton-----Leeds-----Sheff Utd 

Crap, it might actually have some legs 

Feels like we're hitting desperation levels now. 

All the comments from Sheff Utd fans are to get rid of him ASAP.

Isn't he also a bit of a c**k? Not the sorta bloke Mowbray likes to sign.

I've just seen that we have actually loaned out Chapman, why the hell did we even bother wasting his time signing him on for another year?

What's Freddy Adu up to these days?

That kid's probably only 21.

Didn't someone say he's on 57k per week at his French club?

Plus it was circa £4m transfer fee.

Never happening

Where's the Josh Maja link come from or is it just people wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking because his move to forest has broken down and he's off elsewhere (unknown where)

Think Marcus Maddison from a few years back, if the board collectively wishes hard  enough, a link will appear.

Don't, it won't be us

100% will be a loan. Badly advised Venkys will keep the money in their pockets and hide behind FFP.

Loans aren't free though.

Even signing a top striker wouldn't put us anywhere near the play offs this season.

Throwing money away loaning a striker, a little investment now gives our player time to settle and adjust, get a season under their belt and we can build further next season.

Tayo Edun signs on a 3 year deal til 2024 with a further 12-month option. An undisclosed sell on fee in place to Lincoln City.

Seen that he can play LB or midfield. What type of midfield role, does anyone know?

Assuming he's here to challenge for a place either at LB or in MF, and not just back up.

5 hours left, I think anything we get now is a bonus.

Edun confirmed by the club

SSN under the impression that both the Brighton winger (loan) and Edun are done.

Oliver Ntcham going to Swansea.

We were linked at one point.

We have no left back cover, that's bad

We sign a permanent left back as competition, also for some this is bad 

Can't win 

I don't see it as bad, we need cover/competition there.

Just a bit odd we are spending our limited funds on a backup left back, when we need a striker.

Just now, Sparks Rover said:

Left back.....is he fed up with the Crewe lad already,?

I think he's a left back? Also seems like we are paying around the same amount as we did for Pickering? I appreciate we need back up for that position but it is a strange-ish move.

Lincoln have got their replacement left back in, so looks like Edun is inbound shortly.

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.

Not a signing that makes a great deal of sense when we signed the Leeds lad, have Chapman, Dolan and Diaz for the wide positions. Gallagher too I suppose. 

Agreed a proper striker should be the priority, permanent deal obviously better.

6 players for 3 positions, 7 if we sign a striker as well, he isn't going to be able to keep all those happy.

Brighton winger should be done according to Crooke.

Announced at some point today.

According to the lancs live:

Michael Obafemi - looks like he'll leave on loan. Bournemouth interested but we've probably moved on.

Ryan Hedges - we've had a bid rejected (£250k) and would need to at least double it. Free in the summer so might wait for a knockdown fee in Jan.

Reda Khadra - Sounds like the injury is stalling the move, could still happen though.

Jamal Lowe - Bournemouth interested (again) but would take £1m+ to land. We've made an enquiry but its likely to go down to the wire.

Tayo Edun - Should happen

Looks set to be a busy day of links but I'm sceptical we'll actually get much done.

The Jamal Lowe link is a bit from left field.

Surely they will want more money than we have.

Especially if we are spluffing 500k on a back up left back.

Also Reading signing Scott Dann on a free transfer.

Christian Walton signing for Ipswich, who sit 21st in league one without a win to their name.

A ball playing centre back according to the rovers website.

Please god not a return of the possession based crap.

You are allowed to say that but it is complete nonsense. JRC is our best player imo. Our form falls away when he is missing. 

Not sure we have ever been in a situation where JRC has been our best player.
