Rooney?

Having watched him in MLS, and yes off course it’s not the same standard, but as a back up for a year and mentor to Wes wouldn’t have been the worst thing at all. He’s still got terrific enthusiasm and ability. I think he will do really well for Derby.

He has a few issues.

if Rooney ends up at Derby he’ll still be the best player in the Championship

I don't think he will. He has scored eleven goals this season, the top scorer has double that. If you assume that MLS is not far off Championship level, he would be very unlikely to be the best striker, let alone the best player.

Whoever put his Youtube highlights together must hate him. Doesn't look the best.

I’m not being greedy as mist that we have acquired was required to compete at this level but a worldy top class striker with statistics is what we need to finish off.
The links we have with people like Jean KEVIN from Leipzig just aren’t good enough on top of what we have in my opinion .
Need our top team to come up with the goods  to deliver top striker by 5pm Thursday please

His scoring record is phenomenal and he would have experience playing alongside Trezeguet. Thirty-two goals last season before transferring and ten in his first twelve games for Galatasaray. He'll do. Get him in, please.

A good few reports coming out now about Mbaye Diagne. He's another unit, has a good scoring rate of 10 in 12 and 32 in 34 over the last 1 and a bit seasons. Noticed he played with Trezeguet in the same team during 18/19 so wonder if that's had any effect on Pitarch/ Smith.

Still, he doesn't look great technically from the few vids I just watched.

[exigo]

He can look technically awful for all I care, if he bundles the ball into the net that many times.

[pauliewalnuts]

He's a proper BFU alright.

Be entirely appropriate for the club that was in the days of HDE compared to Crossroads to have a front man called Diagne.  Paired with Bennyrhama.

Anything reliable sounding?

[mr underhill]

some Turkish media outlets reporting we are in negotiations - as for Benrahma, he trained with Brentford today, so that doesn't look likely to happen to  me.
