Devante Cole - signed?

[Metalmicky]

I’m sure whoever we sign it will get turned into a negative by some

Every positive attracts a negative............ science

[dickos1]

What makes you think he’s a wide man?

What makes you think he’s a wide man?

Looks quite slim to me

[IDM]

I know wiki isn’t always 100% accurate but his profile on there says Striker and he’s 6 foot one.

[drfchound]

A good player at this level - folks would have been pleased had he signed in August.?

Wonder when this will get officially announced.?

Don't worry , I am sure there will be plenty to offer a different opinion 

Well only scored 4 in 19 and another wide player when we need a front man, so it's a massive no from me.

Ah, but don’t forget, we have been waiting for the first A list player then that is the trigger for the second and third to follow so maybe things will begin to flow now.

Mixed reviews in Scotland, missed some easy chances? Just got to give him a chance here though

Before he’s even kicked a ball for us, let alone be formally announced.?

[adamtherover]

his highlights reel looks impressive,   quick, strong with an eye for goal.....

I don’t think he’s a wide player, he was being played out of position. Perhaps explains the strike rate.

hes deffo a striker looking at the highlights reel....

[wing commander]

He played wide right at Motherwell because he needed too as they were short of options but there manager said his true position was central.Motherwell wanted to keep him..

If this is true i'm delighted,a young player who we can work with for our own benefit and long term too...

[anton123]

It’s confirmed now welcome to rovers

[Danmckay456]

Says initial deal until the end of season ?

[wing commander]

So we've paid money and signed him until bloody May..And Moore goes on about long term thinking....I was delighted but thats such a dissapointing contract

Unless its a typo the deal duration is a bit of a strange one.

[Paul Simpson]

Excellent news!! Welcome Devante👍 Worth waiting for imo .well done to the board and all involved!! 😀⚽️⚽️

[dickos1]

Will sign him again in August so blunt doesn’t have to pay him through the summer

[wing commander]

It's a loan in all but name.

[IDM]

Let’s worry about the contract duration after he’s played a few times at least.  I’m sure there will be options to extend.

[Jonathan]

A six month contract?! Got to be joking

[IDM]

It's a loan in all but name.

No it’s not, it’s a short term contract..

Will sign him again in August so blunt doesn’t have to pay him through the summer

Really.? Is that necessary to say that, unless you’re trying to be funny.?

[Copps is Magic]

The free Press article says its a 6 month contract with an option for a further year. Can't work out who the option is for, us or him! Maybe dependent on which league we're in next year. Weird one.

[NickDRFC]

Good signing and glad we’ve finally got one in (hopefully a few more to follow!) but the fact we’ve paid a fee and only got him until the end of the season is a head scratcher. The most curious transfer terms since Daniels in the summer 😂

[RobTheRover]

And this is what Moore refers to about getting them over the line.  Still awaiting confirmation on the actual contract length, but sometimes Players just dont want to sign for the duration of the contract that is offered.  There are 101 things that can make a deal fall at the final hurdle and believe it or not, budget and money are rarely those things.

Told you.......

[DonnyOsmond]

24 in 67 when played up front in League One.

[Retdon1]

Idd be interested to know how much the undisclosed fee is to say he’s only signed till May

[drfchound]

I think it was Cole who scored in the 90th minute (was it for Crewe) to put them 2-1 up at the KM.
The ground virtually emptied but we scored two in add on time to win the match.

[RoversAlias]

He has a decent goals record at this level, good experience for a 24 year old. Tall, mobile, versatile along the attacking line. Doubt he cost much.

I'm seeing nothing but positives here. People wanted us to sign a striker, here is one we know is capable of hitting double figures at this level. A great start to the week.
