    So the transfer window is about to slam shut and we still have the same amount of strikers we started the day with.

    And 4 less than we had about six weeks ago
    Hanlan gone out on loan, we have less than this morning

  • I reckon dodoo will do ok. Let's good on youtube ! I expect he was the contigency signing if our main targets failed though.....which looks to be the case.

    Also looks more like a winger than striker.

    I think this fella could have been a good addition if he was 3rd choice behind Josh and Novak. He offers something different and an option to change the way we play.

    Instead we let Novak leave and so he is second choice.

    He is not here as a compliment to what we have buy as our only other option. Stupid.

    Ist choice on Saturday & God help us if Big Josh picks up an injury over the next 4 months.

    We/they should've gone all out to get another decent player in up top. I sat in the meeting with KM before Swindon at the end of last season, and she was at pains to point out that she wants them to be judged on this season and believes they are turning the corner

    This season has started brightly and I think the first XI are decent. But it is just a first XI. Happy that we haven't lost a Konsa, but that could all change come Jan

    I think they've missed a trick here. Particularly as we have got Watt, Tex, Ceballos off the wage bill

    Time will tell, but I'm not sure now

    That would be the deja vu all over again...
  • Shambolic . We needed a minimum of one striker FFS . To let Novak go is unbelievable under the circumstances . If big Josh gets crocked , we'll be well and truly in the Doo do .

    2 weeks ago Novak was fat, lazy and useless. Definitely not good enough for us. Now he's gone it's like we've sold Neymar.

    Last week we hated that the club conducted it's business in public - now it's being done quietly people are moaning.

    Nobody has seen Dodoo play so how about we give him a chance before dismissing him. He was incredibly highly rated at Leicester a couple of years ago so let's see how this plays out.

    Yes,Novak is fat and lazy but we've let an experienced fat lazy pro go to a rival on a free and signed a nobody who has scored 3 goals in Scotland!!!! I hate it when people post on here and say underwhelmed but.....underwhelmed

    I don't think anyone is calling Novak a world beater, but having 2 striking options with 1 being a loan until January is ridiculous.

    I hope this striker is good, but Rangers are a shit team in a shit league and if he is getting in their side i have my doubts he is good enough for ours..

    No not in the slightest. We have let Novak leave and whilst he wasn't a world beater he was the only option we had who was a like for like (ish) replacement for Josh.

    The new kid offers something different - and that's great - but leaves us short of a striker who suits our system. That's why we're disappointed to lose Novak. Because it leaves us short. As we have been left short every transfer window since these idiots arrived.

    I hoped Josh stays fit and Doodo hits the ground running but if we don't get lucky there we really are screwed.

    And come January this kids loan ends? We're left trying to find 2 strikers in the Jan window which is famous for good value and getting decent players in. Ohh yeah.

    And in the summer? We're left with just Josh who will only have 1 year left on his contract.

    I expect Clarke, KAG or Reeco to lead the line on Saturday.

    Exactly - I doubt whether KR has seen him play

    So highly rated that he left a Premiership club to join a scottish club that has been in turmoil for a few years.

    Rochdale away
  • Welcome Joe. Slightly worried that a shit team like Rangers would allow him out on loan though.

    Fanni and Dodoo in the space of 2 years, can't wait to sign Steve Clungeberger from Belgian 5th division in Jan

    I think we have a team that can win promotion, no question.
    But with serious injuries to key players? Not so sure.
    But there's another window in January.

    And yes, let's judge Dodoo after we've seen him in action.

    I did say it would be a signing that we had not heard of this window, and I believe we should look at the players that Robbo has signed so far and cut him some slack and consider for just a moment that he might know what he is doing.

    Having said that, I would have kept Novak, but pehaps this was not possible.

    Anyway, is it is what is is and we go again Saturday. COYR!

    Would rather have kept Hanlan, underwhelmed.

    Certainly sounds a bit like it.

    If I am honest. No

    Hoping something else up our sleeve...loan window or Dodoo turns out to be some kind of Wunderkind

    But I don't see we are a great deal weaker than 2 hours ago
  • Welcome to Joe and I seriously hope he does well but a 3 month loan after selling/releasing all but one senior striker is embarrassing to say the least
  • What loan window ?
  • Maybe there's another striker coming in on loan from a Premiership club?
