Will be known as short ass rovers signing all these diddy men Nichols,Telford,Craig,Mensah,Bennett,sincs etc we need some power pace and strength in league one. Northampton and MK Dons were full of tall, powerful players and what happened to them eh? Quality over Quantity!

Did anyone really, deep down, believe DC would make a signing a week before the end of May?
3 year deal though. if it works out he may be sold on for a tidy sum.

Knowing our luck it wouldn't and then we'd be stuck with him for 3 years, not sure how clubs in Div 1 survive giving out all long contracts to youngsters. Back to the OP I guess this proves once and for all that brfc_transfers/thegasfc just make the rumours up!

Fair play. Whether we were in for him or not, Daws must be a good salesman to get him signed up so early. Olomola was born in London, has played only in the south and south west and now he relocates to Scunthorpe, of all places. I suspect they have offered him a very good contract.

I've only seen highlights on tv and he looked ok, but I'm not fussed we haven't signed him, plenty of good players across Europe available to target.

I don't know anything about the player apart from what I have read here. Based on what I have read here, 7 goals in 21 games at league 2 level doesn't excite me at all. Surely we can find better, maybe someone who has experience at our level with a better strike rate? Im not bashing the player before anyone claims I am. If I knew more about him then I might understand why some are excited and of course, if he signs then I will give the lad me full support. So you want us to sign somebody like Harrison or better i.e. 15+ goals a season Div 1 striker? How much is that going to cost the club £500K/£1m as that is surely the minimum we'd hope to get now for Harrison? I want us to sign better than Harrison. I want us to sign a 20+ goal scorer. Im sure we all want this, like every fan at every club obviously. Not settle for someone who cant get 10 goals in a season (Gaffney) or struggles to score just 1 goal in a season (Nichols). Or even struggle to score full stop (Luke James). It could cost the club just a signing on fee if the player is available on a free!! Plenty out there.

I know he hasn't scored 15 in a season, but his strike rate is that, and you were the one who mentioned strike rate. I would be interested in a 20 year old who could achieve a strike rate of 15 in one season, with only better to come (or hope for) as he matures. I mean full season strike rate not a projected strike rate. He could of ended up doing a Gaffney and fail to score in his last 15 games for us! I also said someone with experience at league 1 too.

But DC did also say that this is something we will do when we get to the Championship “I think certainly if you go up a division into the Championship it's a good time to have a look. To be honest, we have looked at this now and we're moving in this direction."

We've already 'moved in that direction' with the signings of Dunnwald and Baghdadi.

Plenty of players who are guaranteed to score 20+ goals a season in League 1, and are available on a free? Name one.
