Shropshire papers have already given it out as £75,000.
But does anybody really think these days that other teams and agents can't find out?
Liam Hoden in the FreePress has also said £75.000 but also said it will probably be reported as undisclosed.

If it’s £75.000 why not just say so. There must be a reason why, what seems to be 90% of transfer fees are now “undisclosed” fee.

I would guess it's due to the complexity of deals these days.
What constitutes the fee? Does it include the agents fee? Does it include add-ons for x appearances or y goals? What about any sell on clause? etc etc.

Confirmed on Twitter. 2 and a half year deal!

Get in!

Now for the Aston Villa lad and we have a squad again.

Shawndrfc · « **Reply #69 on** January 30, 2020, 01:06:32 pm by Shawndrfc »

So in the space of a week we went from in major need for striking options to bringing in 2 players who are under 25, who have scored goals in this league and us being spoiled for choice on who is starting upfront. I would say a very good week indeed.

Excellent signing and a good contract length too. Delighted with this.

RoversAlias · « **Reply #71 on** January 30, 2020, 01:14:21 pm by RoversAlias »

Ennis, Cole, Okenabirhie plus the likes of Sadlier and Watters is a very healthy striking core. Darren must be very pleased to have got these deals over the line (oh yes!) this week.

Excellent signing and shuts me and others up.. who thought he would be a great signing when it was first mouted a few weeks ago.. two forwards in with experience and goals in this league and potential to improve.. fair play and well done Rovers Board and management!

Can’t be true, as who is available in January?

Only pulling your leg, Campsall!

I do feel alot of the annoyance and worry by fans was just, after we were stung in the summer. But DM has really redeemed himself by getting 2 strikers in that will help are run towards the play offs and beyond. It sounds like he identified targets and stuck with them to bring the right players in.

Just got to get Sadlier tied down now.

I was waiting for that one Alan. Thank you, right on cue.

Yes DM has done brilliantly. Still stand by my opinion though that the January window is difficult. DM has said as much himself.
Didn’t say we wouldn’t get any one in but i do admit to saying loans from the premier league would be most likely regards to strikers being available.
Very very pleased to be proved wrong. Well done DM.

But we should sack the board, bloody rubbish Blunt, Bramhall, Watson & Baldwin.
Never back the manager do they.

You have to give a lot of credit to Adam Henshall, his hard work has been paying off.

Great signing, we're looking a lot stronger than we did a week ago!
Well done to all concerned.

Now let's beat Fleetwood on Saturday and full steam ahead to the top six!

Just had a look and he’s not played (for the first team at least) since stoppage time on the 29th December. Anyone know if he’s been injured or just out of favour/not playing whilst a move might be on? Either way he might take a bit of time to get up to speed, possibly won’t be ready for more than a handful sub appearances over the next few weeks.

Fully fit, just been left out of the Shrewsbury squad because they wanted to get rid of him. Their loss is our gain.

This is a great signing. You only have to look at the comments on Twitter from Shrewsbury fans to know this is a good player.

Martin, are you able to say how long Okenabirhie has been on DM's wanted list?
Purely out of interest.

sedwardsdrfc · « **Reply #88 on** January 30, 2020, 02:06:42 pm by sedwardsdrfc »

Really pleased by this and the Cole signing think we're ok upfront now considering Watters form in the u23's. Excited for the run in now because the only thing really holding us back was having enough regular goal scorers

Signs are good for the summer too if this is type of players were after.

By all accounts he's a fox in the box type striker, whereas Shrewsbury's system is set up to play with a big target man. With a bit of service he'll be flying, I reckon.
