Title: New striker to sign very shortly
Post by: RedRover45 on June 06, 2010, 12:17:44 pm
I have heard from a very reliable source that we have beaten off QPR and another Championship side to sign a 21 year old striker, who has agreed to join us from a L1 club. Watch this space.

If true, then the only one I can think of that fits the bill has initials that have been allover the news lately.
Title: Re:New striker to sign very shortly
Post by: RedRover45 on June 06, 2010, 01:03:17 pm
I dont want to name the player for obvious reasons as we've lost too many signings in the past, but he knows 'Doncasters style of football well' ;-)

Would this put us out of the running for Billy?
Title: Re:New striker to sign very shortly
Post by: Shornton on June 06, 2010, 01:42:45 pm
I was working on the intials.
Title: Re:New striker to sign very shortly
Post by: Snods Shinpad 2 on June 06, 2010, 01:42:58 pm
Even if we sign Billy, we still need another striker surely.

At the moment only Brooker and Fairhurst are on the books, with Hayter out of contract in 3 weeks.
Title: Re:New striker to sign very shortly
Post by: RedRover45 on June 06, 2010, 01:48:30 pm
We've lost Heffernan, Guy and Sharp from last season so I would suggest we need a bare minimum of two, but hopefully 3 strikers to replace the shortfall.

Title: Re:New striker to sign very shortly

Charlie Austin could be Ashley Cole he has been in news big style
Title: Re:New striker to sign very shortly

Charlie Austin isn't 22.

Title: Re:New striker to sign very shortly
Post by: MrFrost on June 06, 2010, 03:06:47 pm
Initials are obviously BP so that indicates who it is.

If we want anyone from Huddersfield it should be Jordan Rhodes. Theo Robsinon does have a very good goal ratio however.

Dean Bowditch. Ex-Ipswich player now playing with Yeovil Town. He scored 10 in 30 last season.

Not sure if he's 22 but I do know that he's fairly young.

He's only a slip of a bairn though. He'd get knocked from Pillar to Post by the centre backs in this division. The fans would be Oblivious to him.
 
We need a striker who is Deep and Wide and Tall.

Bloody hell it's Barry White, Wide as hell, must be very tall and buried deep to get it all underground!

Whomever it is I'm sure that shortly we'll hear his footsteps in the street and it wont be long before we meet.

Post by: DonnyBazR0ver on June 07, 2010, 12:30:47 am
It could be a very good week.

Oster confirmed as signed.

Tom Kennedy's signing is confirmed

If true then either Brett Pitman or Jordan Rhodes signs.

Billy decides Donny is the only place for him.

Then there's Steve Brooker chomping at the bit to lead the line.

Put your money on the Rovers !!

Why can't you say who it is. If he's already agreed to join us then there is no risk of a rumour on a forum effecting it.

 He has told his Dad that he wants to join us and no-one else, but he hasn't signed yet. I am erring on the side of discretion to be on the safe side. I only started this thread to allay peoples fears that we weren't actively doing anything apart from hoping to get Billy.
  Have patience and faith.

As usual, we get a sniff of a rumour and speculation goes into overdrive.  I guess its just how men are.  To pay for all these players, SOD must have been working in a goldmine.

(And its Roddy FRAME, not Frain)
