If Rotherham are sniffing then they might be in the process of selling LeFondre and he could be the replacement.
Every player we are after seems to involve them, bit wierd that.
Marvin Morgan has everything we are looking for, hopefully it is a done deal as GT seems to be able to sell coal to Newcastle.

Rotherham are not selling Le Fondre, it would take silly money to get him and we are talking 7 figures we currently have 3 injured strikers,so Rotherham would be very interested in Morgan..
hopefully Aldershot will sell and he signs for Rotherham..

We thought we were not selling Grant Holt just over a year ago. Not convinced that Le Fondre is in the £1m plus bracket. Indeed £500k plus would be seriously considered especially given RUFC's financial history. Good luck for the season and looking forward to jousting with you lot for the title! To you. To me...

Rotherham have very small crowds and no commercial income at all.
Financially, there is no way they can compete with us, or, turn down an offer of 500k for LeFondre.
.....................unless they are prepared to go into administration again !!

3 million? is that a typo?
If hes worth 3million i must be worth a couple hundred thousand, you can get a good Premier League striker for that amount, clearly hes scored goals and a good player but hes never impressed when iv seen him, i dont see him doing much more then mid table Championship at best?!

Didn't realise that the Rothers were maaaassive. It's thinking like this that really gets clubs in trouble. No fan base but £25m new stadium? Just doesn't make sense. After admin so recently you would think caution would be a watchword at the Don Valley. Again I wish you luck. Got a horrible feeling you might need it.

Silly idea building a £25m stadium with their fan base.

I'm sure we've heeard that before For the striker, i'd be happy if it was any of the following... Shaun Harrad. Richard Brodie. Bradley Wright-Phillips. Marvin Morgan. Gareth Evans. Colin McMenamin (?)

He did score alot of penalties, correct, but he had the potential to score more. Just didn't get the service.

I never rated him and yes he scored bags ful in Scotland but whoppie do. Kris Boyd bags goals galore last season and his big move was Middlesboro in Championship. I reckon anyone of Shrewsbury strikers would score 20+ in Scotlish league 1

Crewe connection.... Could it be Calvin Zola? No - The rumour is Clayton Donaldson, more pacy than Aldershots' Marvin Morgan and he'd be the 1 I'd take given the option, Morgans goal scoring is fine but he's too much of a likeness with what we already have in the squad..

Maybe they had someone at the club that decided to leave contracts until the end of the season.

I'd guess that Gary Waddock at Wycombe has been monitoring who's out of contract and enticed away the ones he wants and can afford, he wanted Herdy but he's still got a year left on his contract at Aldershot. That said, forget 200k on any striker, any money being spent will be on bringing Ainsworth in.

After admin so recently you would think caution would be a watchword at the Don Valley. Again I wish you luck. Got a horrible feeling you might need it. Rotherham are not a massive club and in the context of world football are very small.. we have to be back in Rotherham in two years so the only way to do it was build a new ground, when we was in the championship we averaged nearly 9,000 and that was in a run down out of date ground, in a modern day ground with all the mod cons and under soil heating there's no reason why we can't average 11 or 12,000 there are reasons at the moment why are average gate is small i.e the division we are in and the ground we are playing in.. The 3 million price tag on Le fondre is to but other clubs off, we know we won't get that kind of money the main thing is that we are financially secure, no debts and with a bright future a head and a very ambitious board but as it stand at the moment Shrewsbury have the better pulling power when it comes to signing players

I know what you mean by this - in that Morgan's more of a target man and we already have a few - but I'd still take him over Donaldson. Morgan's touch, footwork, dribbling and eye for a pass are way beyond anything we've got at the moment and if we're lacking anywhere then it's in guile and creativity, something he'd greatly improve.
Donaldson is quick and is no mean player himself, but he's less creative and does suffer somewhat from barn-door syndrome.
