For what it's worth I think Payne would actually score goals for us if he signs. My main concern is that I thought we're supposed to be looking for a No.9 as DC calls it. Someone who could bully defenders, hold up the ball and bring others into play, which according to Shrews fans isn't Payne's game. Also concerned they say he wins nothing it the air because we do have a habit of going a bit direct at times. The amount of long diagonals played up to Harrison last season must be in triple figures. Maybe if the other No.9 we want to bring in has the strengths Payne is missing we would have a decent mix with Rielly and Nichols as well. Most people assume that Payne was just the next target on DC's list after Bakayoko. Maybe he wanted both? He said he wanted two strikers anyway so this could have been the case? If so maybe he will mention this at his next press conference. Now I feel that hopefully we will get Payne by tomorrow and then another will come on loan after this weekend.

In an ideal world Payne would’ve been a great replacement and upgrade on Gaffney, and we would’ve brought in a name player to fill the void left by Ellis, Devante Cole or Ivan Toney would’ve been perfect. This is Rovers though and we’re leaving things to deadline day (failing that the loan market). Hopefully we can get at least Payne over the line. Funny you should say that. I was thinking Payne sounds a bit more like a Gaffney replacement based on his strengths and weaknesses. Can we dream the best is yet to come? We're Bristol Rovers, there's always a dream.

Don't they normally post a teaser tweet a couple of hours before it's confirmed or is is just a few minutes before the signing, I can't remember?

Apart from some random tweet is there any evidence of this actually happening?

He might not even come(sorry to be a downer) just coz a bid is accepted by the club it doesnt mean he wants to come to us.

Someone claimed earlier in this thread that they knew Payne wanted to stay in Yorkshire. Confused me a bit as that's no where near Shrewsbury. Was that a wind up?

Almost unknown for pro football clubs to leave a big striker upfront when defending a corner. For obvious reasons. there is no way TN can start again - Reilly will end up like Telford ...sat on the bench thinking what the hell is going on ?? the lad should get a chance, especially to play with a larger striker/no.9 Just been speaking to Gavin he doesn't know yet if he is starting on Saturday, I sincerely hope he is. He indicated that he hasn't seen any striker coming in today yet.

It seem fairly clear to me, Payne use to play for Barnsley so he could still live there and commute to Shrewsbury, although surely if it's true then that's for our HoR & DC deal with not for fans to worry about?

This thread is crazy. Fourteen pages in one day about a striker that we MIGHT sign. (PS: How is the stadium redevelopment coming on and who IS in charge here?0

Friend of mine in barnsley is good mates with Payne and was saying although we've had the bid accepted, payne himself at the time was not sure about the move because it meant moving his young family again when they're made friends and settled in the South Yorkshire/ north Midlands areas, meaning he could still commute to Shrewsbury. Haven't asked/spoke to Him today asking what's up so no idea if he's had a change of heart one way or the other

Okay, I forgot he used to play for Barnsley. Still a pretty lengthy commute to Shrewsbury though. I would have thought that was getting on for a 3 hour drive.

Haven't asked/spoke to Him today asking what's up so no idea if he's had a change of heart one way or the other You do realise the distance and travel time between the two places you’re talking about? I’m sure he doesn’t commute 4+ hours everyday. Edit - If he does I’m sure he’s thought about relocating and if we were to offer security of a 3year deal on more money I’m sure he would be tempted.

I'm aware yes. But at the same I dont know his specific address so could of further away or closer, and I don't know his travel arrangements or whether he stays in a certain place every couple of days. This is what one of his mates has told me. Don't know anymore than that. I could go for a knowall angle of " I can neither confirm or deny, however all is not it seems " if you like?
