About 2 months ago as a might sign. So a development there then. |

Collins was in a promotion chasing side when this first came up. Not going up changed the options. Whose likely to be challenging for promotion?

We need players and you've got to give them a chance but not excited on paper as such.

Collins is a brilliant creative player, surprised he hasn't found himself a League One club in honesty. Saunders seems raw but started the season well before falling out of favour.

Sounds like a repeat of 7 years ago at a league higher. Would you take a repeat again at another league higher in another 7 years? |

I was thinking that... what do fans expect? Here are the league 1,2 and Conference Prem top scorers to help anyone decide... Attachment DeletedAttachment DeletedAttachment Deleted |

View AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentLook, all we really want is for Wael to splash some cash on a big name player so that afterwards we can complain that he's chucking money around and ... I'm not sure how but ... that means we're going out of business. Until then I just want to complain that we've only signed mediocre players and that Wael isn't splashing the cash - is that too much to ask? |

Here are the league 1,2 and Conference Prem top scorers to help anyone decide... View AttachmentView AttachmentView AttachmentI have to say, L2 seems a pretty low scoring division for strikers with the 2nd top scorer with 19... But tbf here, I think theres a difference between getting excited and expectation. Am I going to be excited for a striker who's scored 11 goals last season and was released by a fellow promotion fighter? Not really, no. What do I expect? Not sure, I'd like a proven (around) 20 goal striker at this level. Easier said than done though, I think we all know that. |

I quite liked the idea of James Norwood but not sure he would come to Rovers or whether the fans would take to him? Knows where the net is across all the levels he's played at Also if we have some northerners... Stephen Humphrys was decent for Rochdale last season... would command a fee though Liked the idea of Rhys Healey aswell but... |

Out of interest which realistically achievable striker signings would excite you? dc signed James Wilson, that would have. Who scored 9 goals last season. Can't comment on what he is like as a player as I have no idea, so genuinely interested as to why he would excite you? Or is it just because it isn't us signing him? |

Or is it just because it isn't us signing him? I really like him, lots of ability. Can link play or run in behind and a good finisher with either foot. Manchester United academy player of the year and played numerous games for them in the Prem, scoring a few goals. Other higher level experience having played in the Championship and Scottish Prem. If DC can keep him clear of injuries I think that could be an interesting piece of business and in the right team could be prolific. |
