Clearly the transfer caught Robins by surprise or he would of been ironing his favourite Lacoste polo late last night!

Wonder if he'll be introduced slowly or dropped straight in, can't have many minutes this season, if any.

I think he had a fair bit of time in pre season at least he was scoring.

Now he’s signed someone will have to leave surely. I can’t see Bakayoko even making the squad if there are no injuries

Gray can go out on loan now, he must be desperate for some game time!

Even then he has Andreu as a 10 virtually and Hiwula as back up - I think Bakayoko will be the next Garry Collier as the strangest signing of all time

Could well prove to be.

I think most of us thought it odd when it happened anyway.

The obvious thing now with Chaplin would be to pair him up with JCH and then it would have been Biamou too as the other option if he wasn't injured.

Not quite sure where Bakayoko is going to fit in. Jones to come back in too soon.

Wedding anniversary today, Chinese takeaway ordered and Chaplin signs. What a time to be alive.

The nipper (when they arrive) might* be named Conor Chaplin Weeman

Bakayoko will go out on loan in January as he won’t be getting a game here!

I agree totally with that ... assuming anyone's interested in doing so ... perhaps L2 club ?

Glad MR has got his man. To be fair to MR he didn’t waiver. I thought he panicked and had lost it a bit when signing Bakayoko.
I think he had mixed results with his signings the first time he was with us, however up until very recently in this second stint he seems to make very good signings. I really hope he has pulled it off again with this one.
Excellent chance for JP to get some games and develop, hopefully to our benefit long term.

Am I right in thinking he can't play against Portsmouth as he's on loan initially?

Where's David Bell? Surely his contract is nearing its end at the Ricoh?

So you have got your man now then. He didn't look happy in that photo wearing a Coventry City shirt though did he? I expect it's because it just dawned on him that he will never play for his beloved Pompey again, but I am expecting to see him back as a supporter at some stage. Although I am extremely disappointed he has gone from our club I wish him and your club well. I am certain he will do well for you because he has got talent but it is a talent that has to be nurtured in a certain way, which is not as a lone striker. He needs to cut out a bit of his cockyness and the diving antics and then you will have a firm favourite on your hands. I beleive Chaplin will get better the higher up the leagues he goes where skill counts for more than brute force where his game is more suited to, obviously Blackburn thought that way. I commented earlier that when you see photos of one of your favourite players posing in their new clubs shirt it is like someone showing you pictures of your wife in the nude, only worse. Any way I probably won't comment on your site again, except when we play you maybe, so I wish you all well and I hope this player turns out to be a success for your club, or do I? Maybe it would make me feel better if he turned out to be a dud and Kenny Jackett was right all along. No I definitely hope this turns out to be a happy period for you and Conor and I think your manager deserves a lot of respect for sticking it out to get his man. Cheerio Chaps & Chaplets.

I hope CC makes his debut Saturday plays well and Bakayoko grabs a hat-trick, that will probably spoil the weekend for some on here

Well it’s been one of the longest transfer sagas in history. I’m delighted he’s here, and I’m sure Robins will play him alongside Clark Harris. Hopefully he will give us some balance and a focal point, which has been missing so far this season.
Good luck to you boys, I hope you finish second in the league, one place beneath us!
