Loan bid made for a striker

[MachoMadness]

Grant getting ahead of the game in time for January - we've put a loan offer in for a forward who can play across the front three. Let the wild speculation commence. https://www.doncasterfreepress.co.uk/sport/football/grant-mccann-makes-big-doncaster-rovers-transfer-admission-as-january-window-looms-4899205

Imagine this means Yeboah will be sent back in January though.

Also hear McCann

Note he refers to the player as 'the boy' so suggests he's a young player.

Quite ironic given his reasons for Miller leaving but, I'm sure we can see the logic in bringing in some cover, and hopefully goalscoring talent, for Joe and Billy.

Could it be Louie Marsh back from Sheff u

The boy, please don't go all Mickey Walker on us, Grant.....

Underlined by this last week’s games: Billy Sharp has played 2 tough games already this week and I’d imagine GM will want him to start tomorrow. He’s 39 in February!

I sincerely hope he’s looking for a midfielder as well.

[Draytonian III]

You would think a young striker would jump at the chance to join us in January until the end of season, 3rd round of the FA Cup, 3rd in League 2, playing in front of 7000+ crowds ( home ) , that has got to be better than U21s league in front of a few hundred. Also a chance to get noticed ie Louie Barry at Stockport

[Spud]

Maybe it's also a sign that we're going two up top more often for the rest of the season.

[roversdude]

At least the imminent threat of losing Billy to a ban has subsided “ five yellow cards before game-week 19 must serve a one-game ban”

[big fat yorkshire pudding]

He mentioned that he can play accross the front line.  I imagine he wants a different option perhaps a bit more pace as we do lack raw pace up front.

[Ian Nimmo]

Really difficult to guess as we seem to have good communications with a good number of clubs.
Interesting in his interview, he says he has not contacted the boy yet, seems to me like he has contact details, so good indication he knows the boy.
Marsh would be one such possibility, but just wonder if the lad from man utd may be a possibility. He spent the week with us and was someone who could play across the front 3?

Billy is in 283 goals scored or so and he’s on record as wanting to score 300 before he retires , so he’ll want to play in every game this season !!

[ravenrover]

I haven't heard Grant say it's a loan bid, in either Dee Dah or FP video have I missed something?

[ncRover]

Marsh not the kind of striker we need. Need someone who plays on the shoulder of the last defender.

Who’s the Man U lad?

[Ian Nimmo]

Grant talks about the offer in his pre match interview, and says they hope to hear in the next few days.
Not sure about his name, but he one of the two who spent the week with us recently when 2 of our boys went to Man Utd for the week

Yeah you missed it mate, defo said loan.

[RoversInSpain]

Bit of a punt, best guess would be Lincoln’s Freddie Draper. Which would fit pretty well.

He didn’t want to sit on the subs bench for 40 games is how I read it really.
You can’t blame him for that.

That's understandable.

[Jersey Rover]

Think Marsh is a good shout.

[ncRover]

Northern Irish lad from Rotherham said to be going out on loan in Jan..?

[StocksArmy]

I think this is looking more in Gibsons position and McCann realising he’s dropped a clanger signing him. The return from that position hasn’t been good enough.

Just stating he wanted to leave, not saying I blame the lad.

I agree, no issues with the lad and wish him the best.

[Ryaldinhio]

Think Marsh is a good shout.

Not for me thanks. He was a striker who sat deep and wanted ball. IMO that is not something we need right now when we have a surplus of attacking midfielders.

Nothing to do with Marsh or what he can/can't do. Just 100% to do with what WE need at the minute.

[Drover]

I think it might be someone Grant wants to give competition/another option to Moly,when he said he was getting frustrated with our lack of scoring upfront,making poor decisions in front of goal was a similar statement and which I think he might be thinking of Moly in particular or Moly and Gibbo,hence dropping Moly to bench Wed,Hurst and Gibson are currently Moly's competition and maybe Gibbo is not coming up trumps enough to be competition at minute,so another option for here could be the target.

[graingrover]

Check out the Irish lad from Rotherham .He was interviewed at Yeovil Town  couple of times on signing then post match.A big strong 20 year old , tall  ,broad shouldered and level headed and a Northern Irish junior International . Ciaran McGukin .

[roversdude]

Don’t want to be a party pooper but wasn’t the term “can play anywhere across the front” once used to use Jordy Hiwula lol

[graingrover]

Anywhere across the front ..North Pier , South Pier !

[Campsall rover]

I think with the support of Terry Bramall and GM as manager we won’t be making those type of signings in the foreseeable future. Well never again preferably !!!

David Blunt has left the building. I don’t think any more needs to be said really dude.
