Should have gone for him in the summer (tshimanga) was definitely worth the risk, surprised we didn’t to be honest, would have thought he fitted the process perfectly 

Was signed by Chesterfield for a fee over £100,000 and believed to be on a wage in the region of £4,500 a week , that to me was not worth a risk

Jack Diamond could be a good shout? Was on loan at Harrogate from Sunderland, who have recently recalled him but now seem ready to let him go on loan again? Didn't play great against us, and got sent off, but he's definitely played better than that. His record for Harrogate is: P23 G6 (P17 G5 in the League). Just turned 22, he's a bit of a Tom Conlon type.

He was on trial at Bolton and they wouldn't pay the wage he demanded so i doubt we could afford him

I'd love to be proved wrong, but I think those of you pushing for a "proven" striker are not thinking of the problems of signing one in this window? Clubs want to keep hold of them; if they're likely to be listed they will usually command a good fee, and will want high wages. I think we'd be very lucky to get a proven striker in in the next few days?

He’s been playing in Sunderland’s first team so I doubt they’ll loan him out again unless they have an upgrade planned.

Wasn't Rodney instrumental in setting up both goals in his last appearance for us, against Burton? The assist for the 2nd was a class above, certainly not the sign of someone masquerading as a footballer. Would much prefer him on the pitch than 1 or 2 others who will be staying with us. 

I think Rodney is sort of a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.
Last season, he was a bright spark of light, in an otherwise dim side. But this season, he's literally had people thinking "who is this guy, posing as Rodney??"

There has just been sooooo many things going on with him, and can't imagine it has all been nice or easy for him. But the club putting him in the twilight zone, in a "the name we shall not speak" way, certainly hasn't helped one bit! I mean, just fake it and say he has a long term injury? It's not like we haven't had a lot of those already, so one more or less wouldn't make a difference, in the bigger picture. Or as I suggested in another thread, just come out with a simple, calm and professional statement, saying something like "due to personal issues, Devante Rodney won't be available for the foreseeable future". Just having him go MIA, nobody mentioning him or even referring to him, just start all these speculations, rumors and content towards him, I'm seeing both here and on all SoMe platforms. 
Just think his absence has been handled really really poor by the club, acting like he's not a player at our club, to be honest.

He's been at Harrogate until this January, and was with them for part of the 2019/20 season when he didn't play for Sunderland at all. Has only played 3 games for Sunderland this season and the word is Harrogate are hopeful of getting him to the end of the season - unless somebody hijacks that?

He can only play for two clubs in the same season according to EFL rules

If he’s played for Sunderland he can’t play for anyone else apart from them or Harrogate as can only play for 2 clubs a season.

Re Rodney

I think we have to remember Rodney the person, and not just Rodney the footballer.

We know he's become a father for the first time recently, so maybe this has affected his football?

It might not have, but as a father myself, I remember how hard those early months can be with the stress, pressure and sleepless nights of having to look after a newborn.

I wouldn't write him off just yet (unless those Walsall rumours are true and he's leaving today!

If he is, we must have got a fee, and I'd hope we would have someone lined up quickly ourselves?
