Maybe, after 9 years of trying, we've finally landed Danny Hylton.

Could be crap but its a rumour... Club's posted a Carabao advert which means a signing is CONFIRMED.

Could be crap but its a rumour... I think that's just 1+1=3 based on the recent game. I'd be delighted if it's true but I think we'll be looking for yet another loanee I am happy to be proved wrong

Could be crap but its a rumour... Noticed a tweet on that account from a "source" saying it'll be a 2pm announcement. Think it's very much someone just looking at the names at the PFA game and making stuff up, but we do desperately need a striker, he's a number 9, which as we know is vacant, and he's also probably at the stage of his career where he needs a club soon or risk being left on the scrap heap. We'll see at around 1.50pm I guess.

Monk hinted at 2 players so assume one will be permanent at least otherwise that's two players we need to leave out the squad when/if they're all fit.

I think they just tweet stuff hoping it'll happen and then if it doesn't they delete, so their feed appears to be 100% correct shouts.

I can't help thinking Gayle would be expecting a prettier penny than we can offer. At 5'9, 34, and with six goals in the last five years, I'm not sure we should offer it even if we could.

Not scored a lot in the championship over the past few years but 3 in 6 for Derby when he signed at the arse end of last year is not too shabbey
It's not a signing I'd be that pumped by though I don't think. Not entirely sure a near 35 year old really fits what we're trying to do 🤷🏻♂️

If we continue making chances, he's the sort of striker who can put them away. If his attitude is right, could be a great signing.

It's not going to be Gayle. If we wouldn't pay the reported 4-4.5k Mullin was asking for a few seasons back, we're not going to be paying the two to three times that Gayle would be asking for now.

Gayle has had a very good career and maybe he can still do it for another season.
But asking a 34yo to be an in behind striker in a pressing team feels like a disaster waiting to happen.
Think it would also confirm what we already know which is:
We’ve missed out on pretty much every target we had.
Signing the 34yo free agent on deadline day doesn’t scream ‘he was top of our list’.
