McCann has spoken to 2 strikers who are a different kind of number 9 according to Ricky Charlesworth he didn’t specify loan or permanent.Hope of fetching 1 in

Jatta has suddenly got a "back spasm"
-
Different to what we’ve got - does that mean better than what we’ve got?
-
It would be Jatta for me we need a different option up front, alternatively someone with some height and strength. There is nothing up with Joe Ironside if fit he should start !!

I think it's really good the way he's handling the possibility of players leaving. Obviously not under pressure to force people's hands, whilst not burning any bridges.

Jatta would cost a lot of money and wouldn’t be meeting with McCann this week in the run up to a Notts County game. It won’t be him.
-
There isn’t a run-up - he now has a “back spasm”.
Makes you wonder!
-
Kemar roofe ?
Imagine if it was, he’d get slated on here.!
-
Can only see it being a loan for Isak

Kemar roofe ?

A bad performance and we would all be saying he had had a night out on the tiles

He'd definitely have the right pitch! And I know after a bad performance he'd be guttered.

I’ve heard that our pitch could be changed to one of limestone and broken bits of concrete and tiles.
It would be good if we needed to win a game on aggregate.

He'll get to the apex with us.

Roofe joined Derby County on a short term deal in February 2025; he remained at the club during the following summer as the club assessed his injury before deciding on whether to offer him a contract. "Unfortunately, after three weeks, he did break down, but we're still here for him. Let's see where he is in a couple of weeks on his fitness, and who knows where he'll be."
Does that really sound like a real prospect? I would be doubtful about his reliability to say the least, but he is obviously class player if fit.
-
Isak and Wissa were seen shopping at lakeside
-
You know what I would do? I'd ask Shrewsbury Town if they would be interested in Joe Ironside going there and super Johnny Marquis coming back to us.
I love "The Chief" but he's way down the pecking order at Rovers. He'd be playing every game for the Shrews.

personally think ironside is far better than jm, he has struggled for the last few years
-
Adelukan? Is he still un-attached? Definitely offers something different and is more ruthless.

I’d love us to get Jatta but think he’d be well out of our price range.

Something interesting is brewing at Argyle:
Plymouth Argyle have triggered the release clause of Port Vale striker Lorent Tolaj’
Wonder if he plays tomorrow for Vale?

Hardly, he’s gone.

McCann says “I wouldn't bring them in willy-nilly. I've got three very good number nines at this moment in time so it's about making sure it's right.".
So what’s the panic then .. 7 points from 4 games not that bad is it ?
-
Duncan Watmore would be my guess
Just conversations thought isn’t it? Been here before and nothing happens.
-
Adelukan? Is he still un-attached? Definitely offers something different and is more ruthless.
Not a No9, though, is he?
-
Think Watmore would be a wide player rather than no9. Guess he would be something different, which is what McCann was saying.

Yeah can play wide or central. Think he’d be an interesting option if he’s still quick.

Lincoln have just signed a striker on loan from Everton, probably nothing in it
-
Depends what the club want, are we looking for one long term who can improve or the oven ready that everyone is after .
Not many good strikers are floating about as everyone wants them, Fletcher Holman at Wolves u21's would be my one for coming in and pushing what we have got, if we go for the oven ready then one if not two already here need to be shipped out, and other teams need to want them.

They signed him but have been monitoring this summer. They have sold a wide forward and lost another with injury so they brought him in quicker than they had planned.
If we wanted Street we should have paid the fee and wages we didnt. That’s what Plymouth have done for a to take a striker/forward

4 first team players left this summer all to teams above Lincoln 2 free transfers and 2 sold.
Street wasn’t playing for them last year so I doubt if we have made them a very good offer we could have signed him before those players left the club

Yet again Ironside not in the squad today and Hanlan as yet failing to prove he’s worth a start. We rely on Billy. We should have gone for Street and paid the price

Assume you know for certain we didn’t try and get street then?
-
And I say again, he might not have been for sale. Just because we may want him, doesn’t mean we can get him. And you don’t know what we may or may not have offered, do you.?
If only life were that simple.!
-
Excuses are coming Rob scored 12 goals in 22 games with his contract I would expect a fee to be large which could have put us off. But we may have gone for him but did offer the right fee. So now we brought in a striker on a 2 year contract that at the moment as not worked and we are looking at another otherwise this thread would not exist.

I think we have to be a bit more patient with Hanlan, it takes a bit of time for some players, Mols was not an immediate hit, it took him a full season to get the system.
-
Don't think Grant fancies him tbh and us in for another striker makes me think he's realised he's not up to the task. Sharp did well against Huddersfield and with the chances we've been creating hopefully he finds the back of the net today

My dad who apparently has a contact too said he met Street and Roofe this week, thought it was a load of shite until you just mentioned it aswell.
Can’t see Street coming back unless we pay mega bucks
-
Street was a perfect fit for our way of playing in the second half of the season.
-
IF and its a big IF Lincoln are prepared to sell Street,I believe TB would match GM's ambition and provide the funds for him,But I don't think they will want to sell him.Hope I'm wrong.

I expect you, I, and virtually everyone on here has no idea what has been discussed between the club and players..

As much as I want to believe it, he's under contract at Lincoln and we would have to get permission from them before we could speak to him. Not saying we haven't like, but guess we would have had to submit a bid before that could happen. Again, not saying we haven't but from how McCann talked about the meetings doesn't give me confidence one is Street.
-
We have a spare loan place and GM usually maximises all of them.
I think GM is playing sharp so much as a bit of a show that he needs someone else.
Personally I would have no issues starting with Billy all season IF we played to his strengths.
-
Let’s stop talking about Street he’s not coming I agree with DBR we would have had to have permission.
-
I doubt he'd have come off the bench if they were likely to sell or loan him this week.
Although I do think he's a decent player for a McCann team, and we brings attributes that were currently lacking in pace in central areas, unless Hanlan shows it. Also noticed before today's game we were top of the list when it comes to crosses made, so it would be nice to get someone with his height to get onto the end of them.
-
Grant has stated that both players have just become available which implies that both are presently employed
-
Macaulay Langstaff didn't get included in the Millwall squad today, he has the required connection to the North East too
-
Maybe their contracts from last year just didn't get renewed, maybe they signed for a club this time last year.
I'd be very surprised if it was Streete.
-

That is a great shout.
-
He’s on a long term deal and Millwall paid a decent fee for him. I’m not sure we could pick up his wages as a loan, or offer a fee sufficient to tempt them. He will be on at least 10k a week you would imagine, probably closer to 15k.

Could be a simple case as Hanlan struggling to settle into the area. A move up North isn't for everyone.

Agreed.
That is something that lots of people don’t even consider when players don’t look great at first.
-
He's largely played in his career as a wide or wider player. He's now being asked to play right down the middle. This will take time getting used to.

Being stubborn with team selection to make a point like that is something managers do when they aren’t getting backed.
There’s three strikers contracted at the club thanks to the chairman’s money because that’s what Grant wanted.
I also think Grant would make whatever decision was right in the moment to win the game of football.
-
Let’s stop talking about Street he’s not coming I agree with DBR we would have had to have permission.
Although Steve, there could be another scenario where incoming could be being balanced against outgoing with associated fees.
There are lots of players considering moves right now in the run up to the close of the window. As we know, some moves are dependant on others, when the chain reaction starts.
We may not have considered losing one of our better players, but if this is offset by bringing in another of 'equal' value going forward, then anything can happen.
-
Grant has stated that both players have just become available which implies that both are presently employed
He also stated that they could be either loan or permanent. My take on that is that one of the 2 is possibly a loan (I see ManU have recently made one of their U21 strikers available for loan and we have contact there with TR).
The other could be at a Club where they have recently signed a striker and he’s become available.
Both guys are being looked at by other Clubs, so, as Grant says, it’s complicated, which could mean we may get neither!
-
Street on bench today might not be liking life back at Lincoln. Terry might be willing to spend some of his money to bring Street back to Rovers. Could be the difference between getting and not getting promoted.
-
Think the problem with Street at Lincoln is that he isn’t the main man and they play him on the wing. Maybe that is what McCann is trying to sell him by telling him he’s the main man.
The difference when we moved him there was phenomenal but maybe he just knows he ain’t getting in front of Collins (I think) over there.
He suits our playstyle better methinks but if I was McCann I would be knocking Terrys door down to go all out for it however if if I’m being honest I can’t see him coming back at least not this season.
-
Maybe he isn't fancied at Lincoln but has been playing to make it look that he is, improve value but ultimately willing to sell. Who knows.
There are lots of teams that play chess with players during the transfer window, put them in the shop window, affect valuation. It's not always about results on the pitch.
I think window should shut before first game of season personally.

-
I see Lincoln have just signed another winger
Apparently can play right wing or right back, seems odd though when they have enough forward players since they describe him as a forward on their website.
-
I have no idea or any information, but I will point out that there have been times before when we have signed a player on a 'permanent' when we all thought there was no chance whatsoever. Billy Sharp (in 2010) and Matt Mills spring to mind.
(apologies I am a pedant, a 2 or 3 year contract is not 'permanent'. I would prefer something like 'signed outright' or 'on an x-year contract' :lol:)

That Street didn’t want leave Lincoln or come to Donny . Just speculation. We I think will have enquired but I can only SPECULATE he was on a price we couldn’t budge for as IMO he was better player by the time we got promoted than when he joined on loan .. so one can only SPECULATE he would have liked to join .. BUT ..
-

Thats probably nearer the truth .

Rob Street is on a long contract at a club in the same division as us who forked out a 5 figure fee for him before he came to us as a loanee & was highly successful here.
Lincoln, even if they contemplated letting Rob go, would be looking for £1 million plus, probably nearer £1.5 plus.
I think that’s a ‘big ask’ from Terry along with his wages.
Can’t (as much as I would love it to) see it happening.
-
Lincoln manager was asked about any more incomings and he said there may be both incomings and outgoings!
They’ve signed a forward from Colchester?
-
Fingers crossed Alan?
-
Yes, they have also sold a player to Dundee and have a forward who they have announced will be out for about 3 months.
Interesting on football deck, they state that the PFA have 2 forwards looking for clubs who may interest L1 and L2 clubs.
Fabio Borini and Ravel Morrison.

I highly doubt half the players in front of him are even worth 1 mill, anywhere between 500 to 600 K i reckon with sell on clauses.
-
Across League and cup Street has averaged just shy of 70 minutes a game so far this season.
I’m not sure where people are getting the idea he’s not an important player for them from.
-
Not saying he’s not important player but they just brought in a forward who plays on the right from Colchester and has played 5 games this season.
Also they have brought in last week a loan forward from Everton who plays all across the front three. So yes it might be a pipe dream but it might not be
The player sold to Dundee was a midfielder not a forward
-
I've still got a feeling it will be Roofe.

I would imagine even 500k would be ambitious. Nobody outside of the Saudi Pro League is paying £1.5m for him. That’s just fantasy.

£130,000 signed in July 2024 since then he joined us where he scored most of his goals playing as a 9. At Lincoln he’s never played a 9 always on the right. He’s got Collins and Draper in front of him. We might not be going for him. But let’s wait and see.
-
230k plus a decent sell on if he does come good for us might tempt them.
If he’s not a nailed on starter it’d be like someone offering us 100k for Gibson or Clifton. He’d have to be their version of Moly to command over 1m imo

Are there any players called road or Boulevard out there for us to buy

No good then, he’ll be cup tied for the final…..

I hope we all realise that if we sign a striker that isn’t Rob Street, it’s going to be a real anti-climax! ;)

Starts on the right of a three with Everton loanee playing 9 according to BBC with Draper and Collins on the Bench also Hackett and House two wide players on the bench

Expects to have him in the building over the course of the next few days. #DRFC

Langstaff is injured apparently

Any particular reason? Really don’t think he’s up to the level we need to be honest, so would be very surprised

McCann saying it is definitely a loan so this really reduces the likely candidates.

Yeah, you've seen my post. Feels like a signing from the Blunt days.
-
When we signed street this forum and elsewhere as in uproar at how it wasn’t a statement signing. Everyone was wrong.
-
If this lad is coming in then we must be having some outgoings. Surely. The squad is absolutely colossal.

Of course, we'll never know whether the new lad was McCann's first or second preference but I think it's fairly certain Rob Street wasn’t either of them.

TBF it's still early days so there's chance for him to come good can't really see it myself though. Even top managers make mistakes in the transfer market, striker and our no.10 are the 2 positions that will hamper us this season as it stands. Having said that we've had a good start to the season and just need Bailey to keep banging them in!
-
He can do a lot worse than putting Bailey in the 10 role until Gotts is back! The only trouble with that is - Crew looked so disinterested last night!

If his attitude drops again, he'll be out of the team like last year, seemed to do wonders!

Agree with that Alan, his body language wasn't good last night, especially first half. If he's to become a top player, & I'm sure he will, he needs to roll his sleeves up, whoever the opposition.

I don't think it was disinterested, but i felt like as close was being the ball dominant one, which crew does like to do it was harder for him to get into the game.

Doncaster Rovers are close to completing the signing of Houston Dynamo forward Toyosi Olusanya, according to reports.
-
Yes numerous press report suggesting Toyosi. So guess he’s one of the two Grant has spoken to, plenty of interest from other clubs in L1 including Luton and Bolton.
On the St Mirren forum, they were all delighted with him, with most comments saying he gave everything in every game.
They also state he a really great guy with lots of interactions with the fans, he gave them a great goodbye message when he left for the mls, nobody slagging him off in anyway.
Reading this, get the feeling he just could be a decent loan, if it is him.

Been around the houses all over the pyramid.

Problem is that we are near to the shutting of the window so a lot of these football media sites will be creating stories to drum up traffic, its best to take most of the noise with a pinch of salt!

his scoring record over 10 years is horrendous, no thanks..

Full name: Olutoyosi Tajudeen Oludamilola Olusanya - we should base a song for him around "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"

[/quote]
I agree, when I looked at his history, that was my reaction.
However having looked at his time with St Mirren, clips of his play etc. I have changed my opinion and feel he could be a good loan. He his very quick and certainly matches Grant’s comment of Rapido, which makes me feel it will more likely be him.
-
Underwhelmed, but then again I was with Rob Street's signing, so what do I know.
This kid's made 126 appearances for teams all over, mainly in non-league, and has scored 20 goals.
If it's him, it seems a big ask to score goals for a top end League 1 side.

I think thats the point. With our budget we need managers like grant Mccann who can work with players to turn them into more.
He has done it so many times.
We are never going to to sign a 5m forward who scores 30 goals a year. Who ever it is Mccann and his team would have seen attributes they think they can work with. It's then on th epercentage of success and I would say he is high. Probably the 80/20 rule should apply here.
We still haven't given Hanlon nowhere near enough time and it was nice to hear Mccann address that last night.
-
Big no this one from me. We need someone who can either score or hold the ball up. This guy isnt either of those things.
Cant see what McCann is seeing from him, same as with Hanlon.

The problem is that strikers who have a proven goalscoring record are just not available except for a very hefty transfer fee.
Like I said, if you view various social media, he can score goals, he looks strong and his lightening quick.
-
Big no this one from me. We need someone who can either score or hold the ball up. This guy isnt either of those things.

We have 2 strikers that are designed to hold the ball up, McCann wants something different who plays on the shoulder and will use there pace to get on the end of balls, which from the games this season shows we are lacking, same as last season until Street came in. So if this guy is a quick as he looks on highlight videos he fits exactly what we are missing.
Street didn't have a vast amount of goals to his name but in our system he scored, same for Olusanya if he is the signing, from the highlights, the goals he scored are varied and he knows how to strike a ball.
Think McCann has earnt abit of faith on signings based on his track record.
-
With Middleton on one wing and Molls on the other it's obvious what we need. Another Billy Sharp type or a big Brendan O'Clalaghan type to nod em down for a Peter Kitchen type to pounce and score.
-
Lads not even signed yet and the moaning starts. Trust that the management team know what they are doing they haven’t exactly done a bad job so far.

Street wasn’t just a pacey in-behind player. He could do it all.
When Hanlan was signed Grant highlighted his pace. And Hanlan hasn’t shown any real hold up / link up play so far either. Can’t win a header.
This lad who’s coming in wasn’t the focal point for St Mirren. He typically played on a front 2 with Mandron - a good target man / link-up player. We play 1 up front. It’s a concern.
We are throwing lots of bodies at this squad. Is it sustainable in the long-run? Another 5 loans this season now.
-

Can someone please explain this ‘holding the ball up’ stuff.
As far as I can see Joe Ironside does this best, however all I see is a complete stop in the attack, a ruddy great wrestling match which Joe very rarely achieves a free kick and by the time that’s all happened, the opponents have organised themselves in defence?
We need quick incisive moves down the flanks down the middle running onto the ball facing the opponents goal. The only time hold up or an exit ball comes in is 1-0, 5 mins to go.

Richarlison did it great for Spurs last weekend.
You go direct to the striker who holds off a defender and brings other players in to play as team mates get up the pitch. Because the original pass moves faster than any player could.
A good option if a playing it out or through ball option isn’t on. Which it isn’t always.

Reading that about he gives everything when playing plus the apparent videos of hom being very pacey has convinced me it will be him,giving his all is what grant likes In his players,Clifton for example,and will suit his liking of playing the press,as some others eluded to,I was not to optimistic with Street signing,but thats why Grant is gaffer and not me.

Has this lad actually signed yet.?
Isn’t it within the realms of possibility that Street could join on loan again.?

You look at Streets goals, majority was using his pace has his main asset, that burst that gave him the advantage.
Hanlan is quick but doesn’t have the burst and also doesn’t seem to be running, over a distance he could beat a man but that quick set off it what gave Street the advantage last season, which this new lad seems to have.
He played as a 2 but we play a lot more expansive, so it’s a different system. We are lacking someone that does what Olunya does, so if it is him then I’m all for it.
Hopefully he kicks on and people are happy.

So far, I haven't seen much evidence of Hanlan making runs, rather reactive than pro active. As you say, Street would make runs as does Billy, constantly looking to get into space. That's what McCanns looking for, someone peeling off beating the offsides and someone who's a bit of an all rounder, as was Street, as was Biamou.
Still too early to write off Hanlan as he probs just needs a goal to get him going and to be less anxious.

I'm not saying Hanlan has been any good but his first touch is fantastic and when he is in close quarters with a defender he uses his body well and is strong.
A big issue is that we have not created that many chances. We've been superb defensively.
-
So true Gaz, he is being hung drawn and quartered on FB posts, it’s shocking and embarrassing.
I think he will come good once we find what type of service he needs to thrive.
-
According to the DPS we are apparently resigning Street, no mention whether it is loan or permanent. Maybe Terry has stumped up the money to bring in Street on a 2/3 year contract?
-
DPS?
-
Should read DFP, the article was in YP.
-
Earlier today I’ve read an article by a Lincoln reporter that has me convinced it’s not Rob Street and that he’s very much part of their plans going forward. He cites the fact he’s played in nearly every game so far this season and his length of contract would mean a healthy price tag!
The article was on X, but I can’t find it to copy the link.
-
McCann has said it is a loan. There is no way Lincoln City are going to loan a player to a rival in the same league. Sell for good money, yes. But why weaken yourself at expense of a rival for no material financial gain?

How many minutes has he played? 200? We've seen this managerial approach from GM before with Gibson and Crew last season and both players came back a bit more focused.

Hanlan did his acl, he will never be the same player he was before, it will be more a mental thing than physical. There will always be that fear in the back of his mind that if he pushes himself beyond what is comfortable it will go again. I’ve been there although mine didn’t repair fully.

Also did mine a few years back and it's having confidence in the strength of the ligament.

That sounds a good rationale and seems feasible. So his mentality could be getting in the way of producing the quality that GM signed him for. Whilst one might question GM’s judgment, you could also say that it is up to the player to overcome his fears and commit 100%. It is a risk for him, but it is a risk that he effectively undertook to handle. Clearly many of the questions are about the degree of his commitment in a position in the team that demands 100%. It makes me wonder about the thoroughness of the “medical” that goes with transfers in the modern game at lower league level.

It's just dreadful journalism.
The author even says he's lifted the piece from Sports Boom...whatever that is.
There is no quote from McCann or the club to back it up.
Had they bothered to check they would have no doubt been told it's a load of rubbish.

Patrick Bamford has just terminated his contract with Leeds.
Just saying........... :whistle:

Surely the Spurs tie means we're shopping in a different shop of strikers now. Tried and tested in our system Street.

It won't be Street, but imagine if it was.

Bamford has left Leeds could it be him? Hope not!!!!

My Brother imp season ticket holder and ex SLO, has said there is a Lot of talk that Donny Rovers has put a bid in, i understand why Grant is playing his cards close to his chest, so another team doesnt start a bidding war.
Street it will be , Grant is just getting the ACES in a row, Now that would be a TEAM going for promotion ........ Terry the man can make it happen.

Perhaps they've just believed the false rumour that was likely generated for clicks?
The last rumour sportsboom came out with was proven to be nonsense when Grant was asked directly.

They’re leaving it late!

No doubt Street will be unveiled @ 11.00 tomorrow. Unleashed on an unsuspecting Millers defence :)

Maybe Grant is bluffing and then at 6 drfc twitter gives the eyes and then bang new player but just not feeling it definitely feels it will be next week
-
Unless it was Street, or the person had secretly been training with us this week, it would be a bit desperate to chuck any new signing in for a local derby the day they signed, given we've got good options for now.
In the DFP article Grant isn't committal on outgoings, however surely this squad plus one more isn't sustainable for a season, it's great having cover but we've got half a dozen players who don't even get on the bench each week. Close has made a great case for himself over two games, but Sbarra and Westbrooke haven't and should go out, and I really like Ironside but I wouldn't expect a player of his quality to be fourth choice so would expect he'd want more of an opportunity elsewhere.

From this I still think it will be Toyosi

If he is in the Lincoln team at all tomorrow then we can more or less end that rumour, McCann has said all is agreed so a team wouldnt play a player knowing he is off.

Folk who believe Street is a realistic target live in fairy land. McCann met with 2 number 9s last week, if they had given him permission to speak to us he wouldn’t have even been in Lincoln’s squad on Tuesday never mind start the game. As much as I’d like him back, I can’t wait for the window to shut and not have to hear his name for a few months! Also for what Lincoln would want for a player who is under a lengthy contract, selling to a rival club I think wouldn’t be value for that kind of money.

Yes he starts and his picture is on the X team sheet

Sorry chaps ! My mistake

We’ve missed our chance! He made the difference up top, last season.
Hope the new lad can replicate what Street gave us!

Bit disappointed that at the end, hanlon was free of the last defender, but still couldnt get a shot away?
-
Wasn't on that long but Hanlan looked better today.

Yes, he seemed to be caught in two minds, shoot or go to the corner flag.

Looked like he thought he was offside so stopped running.

Signed the guy from houston

Maybe Lincoln wanted silly money for Street that’s why we looked elsewhere. McCann probably thinks waiting patiently for Street to be available on the right terms for Rovers, we can’t be held to ransom to buy a player, even if he is very good.

Oulyana’s loan lasts until January 6th, just in time for the Winter transfer window.

Exactly, in other words he isn’t for sale unless someone either makes an offer they can’t refuse, or come in from a higher division which is better for the player (or probably both).
Some folks think signing players is easy.!

Rob Street is on a long contract at a club in the same division as us who forked out a 5 figure fee for him before he came to us as a loanee & was highly successful here.
Lincoln, even if they contemplated letting Rob go, would be looking for £1 million plus, probably nearer £1.5 plus.
I think that’s a ‘big ask’ from Terry along with his wages.
Can’t (as much as I would love it to) see it happening.
I highly doubt half the players in front of him are even worth 1 mill, anywhere between 500 to 600 K i reckon with sell on clauses.
I would imagine even 500k would be ambitious. Nobody outside of the Saudi Pro League is paying £1.5m for him. That’s just fantasy.
What do I know eh Chris?

Luton offered more than £1M, according to latest on X.
Make of that what you will.

Maybe he didn’t want to move South, if we had offered 1N it might have been a different outcome.

The thing is, Les, Lincoln turned it down, not the player. Yes, he could have said he wasn’t too keen, but if they return with a better offer, Street may end up having to be keen!
Money talks, as they say.
This, to me, is a perfect example of what is wrong with parachute payments. Totally unfair.
