We haven’t had a top class striker since Lewis Guy !!

It wont be anyone who is a proven scorer at this level.
I wonder how likely we are to get news on the replacement strikers before the weekend? If reports are to be believed then negotiations began earlier in the week and fees are already agreed. You’d have to hope that talks over personal terms are being conducted with some sense of urgency given the position the squad is in. It’s obviously pleasing to hear of progress, because if you’d said after the final whistle at Charlton that the squad would look like this on August 1st, I don’t think anyone would have wanted to believe you. There’s time to pull it round, but as close seasons go it’s been pretty terrible so far - that’s my honest assessment. And that isn’t a dig at the club, we weren’t to know that our manager would oversee the decimation of the squad and then leave us in the lurch. We got Darren Moore in the end which is a testament to the owners and I think we’re all delighted with that. But he’s been thrown into a difficult situation and the state of the squad right now is nowhere near strong enough to meet the aim. Let’s hope that starts to change significantly within hours.
So could be 6 players in within the next week that would be some turnaround
Liam Boyce?

Then outside chance for tomorrow if not early next week for the 2 strikers we have had bids accepted for
Quote from: Donny Exile in York on August 01, 2019, 01:18:23 pmIt we knew which I am sure we did that Marquis was off why didn't we go for someone like Tyler Walker earlier in the summer if we had funds available and get a replacement in for Marquis before his departure.. that would have been better management.. granted the old McCsnn saga left us high and dry but surely we could have been in for a main striker or two on knowing Wilks had left and Marquis was about to..As a club, we don't seem to forward plan. Everything is done as a reaction to something happening.

Just thinking with all that we'd definitely have enough numbers up front, in defence and at CM but perhaps we could add one more in the 3 behind the striker, such as an Oztumer.
Evans is not for me to be honest. Nothing to do with the court case, but the way he conducts himself on the pitch. He was a total cock-end in that 0-4 against Fleetwood last season, and not in the same way Marquis was for us. Does score goals, good physicality but he's 30 years old now and I feel he was only as successful as he was last season due to the style of play/attitude installed by Joey Barton. It will not be the same here, in fact it'll be the total opposite.That all said, if we sign him I will get behind him as I would most who pull on the Rovers shirt. But I wouldn't be keen to bring him here.

They come with a price tag but surely a striker of this caliber is worth a gamble money wise. For a good few seasons now we have been a team that buckled in the final third, causing coppinger to try and create things he isn’t capable of due to his complete lack of ability, like trying to cut inside and take players on. He just has nowhere near enough skill to do this. Top and bottom, money needs to be spent on a quality out and out striker !
Destination championship let’s sign someone who’s been injured and played 1 first team game!!! Absolutely shambolic, RATSO!!!
Williams was a weird one he did score goals and tried hard but will mostly be remembered as not been good. Think he got unlucky really. Just shows going out and getting the "best available" isn't a guarantee of success, we all know that anyway i guess just another example

Are you going to put your hand in your pocket then?Seem so keen to put the club in financial turmoil. Our owners are already putting in 2 million + to balance the books every season.Easy spending other people’s money isn’t it. You need to get real. If you continually spend more than you bring in then you will eventually end up like Bolton and Bury. Can I ask, do you not understand that?
