Josh Parker I think it is. How the f**k did we end up here?

No money to sign anyone last week but have the money to completely waste on a signing like this. Throwing good money after bad.

There can’t be a person at the club that has any concept of value.

It’s literally because our hand is being forced. The other option is to do nothing and hope the injured players come back and hit the ground running (unlikely, they haven’t had a pre-season).

We are in a sorry, sorry state.

Nick Blackman and Joe Dodoo too. I'm hoping Parker is the one who wants to take some time away from football........

Dodoo is my preference but he hasn't played at a higher level, only abroad unless they consider the SPL as a higher level?

Looking at his scoring record did it looks like he’s taken time away from football years ago

We talk about strategies that only works when you have the appropriate money to spend to get the player you want. When it comes to strikers at our level unless loans we don’t have that money to get  good strikers to the club. The talent manager and we’ve had two can only select players that we can afford. When the finances are available people who were accused of dithering have acted and got players they required. So Richie will have selected a striker / forward on requirements to fit in our team plus the financial package to suit the club and player. He might turn out to be a gem or someone to rap Richies knuckles with. Let’s hope for the team, Richie and the CEO that the player provides the qualities we need.

If we are scraping the barrel and signing strikers that don't score goals, might as well go for Jerome Sinclair at least he is young (clutching at straws)

Max Biamou would be my choice

I hold out some hope that it’s Sinclair based on the suggestion that our signing can play anywhere across the front line.

Parker is more of an out and out striker isn’t he? And a terrible one with a shocking record at that.

Parker last scored a league goal on 26 December 2018. That is almost unbelievable.

That Josh Parker looks the ticket!
Get him on some kind of contract that suits the club, he looks physically imposing

If we can sign Bogle why not Parker ? He fits the ..We haven’t clue sighings” Rovers make now !!

Maybe play Bogle and give him a bonus payment for goals and assists, Ya never know what can motivate a player ……

Or use some of his music for the goal celebration

I think Sinclair will be the one that wants time away from football. I’m sure I read somewhere he had struggles with being at a big club price tags etc

So does my 60-year-old next-door neighbour but I can't see him doing very well as our new striker.

If we can agree a contract then he could be here to celebrate the three year anniversary!

Doesn't fit the ‘a higher level and abroad’...... criteria I don't think.

Is Mendez-Laing the one who got his contracted terminated because he was apparently part of an underground fight club?

Scored against us last season for Wigan. Last goal on 1 May away at Hull. Could be worse.

At the very least this should diminish his ability to score against us.

What’s an empty crisp bag and Lionel Messi got in common?

Donny fans would find something wrong with either if we signed them to play for us!
