It’s interesting to hear about potential Cashin links. There have been 2 CB names which have come to me in the last couple of days, 1 has visited the training ground and the other has only been in spoken about (I’m sorry I’m unsure which is in which order)
• Harry Souttar (Leicester) 
• Nigel Lonwijk (Wolves)
In my opinion, 2 very different centre backs but wouldn’t have thought we’d be after 2, unless there were any departures…
With the information provided, I believe Souttar is a loan and Lonwijk is permanent. 
 
Will update if I get any more info. 

I’d definitely add Aasgard of Wigan to the midfield list.

I don't think the kits are far away from being unveiled.
The kits are white, blue & yellow and mint green.

Hopefully!
He would be a perfect signing. Local lad, championship experience, within the right age portfolio and a versatile player.

BigTrav, your stage is set! 

can we have a separate thread for rumours - instead of suggestions (not in media so not worthy of a thread in the transfer section of the forum)? 
 
I don’t want to wade through chatgpt transfer suggestions to see whether any of the usual suspects have heard about anyone being shown around moor farm. 
 
MODs feel free to delete if you think the suggestion thread already does this fine. 

What does it matter? Provided they come in and do a job for the Rams who cares where they’ve played previously.

Players are starting to be shown round moor farm, heard a few rumours but no concrete names

I was interested to hear Kieran Maguire on his Price of Football podcast that came out yesterday talk about David Clowes paying off £8.8M in full to all the unsecured football creditors when he bought the club, a significant portion of which was related to the Krystian Bielik deal. If he hadn't, then Derby would have had a further penalty of minus 15 points on exiting administration.
Maguire mentions he knows of at least one other interested party to buy the club who was willing to put in a lower bid, and was also willing for Derby take the 15 point penalty as they weren't bothered about paying back these creditors.
Again, fair play to David Clowes for doing the decent but expensive thing with the football creditors. We would have been mid table last season with a 15 point deduction, but it also would surely had a longer term impact to the feel around the club that would have made our promotion this season much less likely to have occurred. 

As in a ‘keeper currently playing their football in Denmark, or a ‘keeper of Danish heritage (which matches the other ITK rumours that we’re getting Daniel Iversen from Leicester)? 

Some decent messages from Korey and Waggy. They did their bit, so appreciate them both.👍

😢 in the end he was a surprisingly good addition to the club. There’s a sense of closure in a way that a number of those who joined after admin to help rebuild the club are heading off with a sort of “mission accomplished”. 

Indeed, they finished third in the table and played some good football along the way, it was no fluke. 
Maybe the occasion has got to them today, one game too far type thing, as well as credit to Oxford for their performance and game management. 

Think your Ogbeta shout is decent. As you mentioned he’s confirmed to be leaving the Swans, 23 years old on a free he’d be a good option alongside Elder down the left which potentially frees Sibley (if he re-signs) to play in midfield/further forward.

If you did have a girlfriend, what position does she play, what’s her name, and do you pay a fee for her company or is she a free agent…. 😉 

I think i'll be hearing over the next few days exactly who we're in for with a lot of details. Already know some.  As per, I won't put any particular details on here though unless it becomes more public and confusion needs clearing, as I can't be arsed with 24 hrs of people screaming that i'm talking out my rear and demanding sources.  I don't why people bother.  Take it or leave it without the grief handed out in spades.  No need really. 

This is the goalkeepers' union with our promotion trophy. Jack holding the trophy. 
How well do you think he'll stand up to being bullied by big forwards at corners? 
Needs to grow and put some bulk on before we throw him to the wolves in the Championship.
Fwiw, I've seen him play a fair bit. He's an excellent shot-stopper but has put the team in a mess with some rash passing out from the back.  
Evans, on the right, is much stronger physically. Also a good shot-stopper, but had a bit of a 'mare in the Central League Cup final recently. 
Neither of them are first-team ready.

Not Warne's biggest fan but I'm very encouraged by this released list. 
Will see who comes in now.
He clearly recognises we need an upgrade, hopefully he can deliver it.
 

Think he’s more likely cover for one of the back 3 positions…

I gave out the Iversen info, and as you say there’s no media links.  I have zero ITK usually, all I’ll say on this one is it’s about as reliable as it gets.  
Same source also told me we are NOT interested in Johannson.

There was a bit in the latest We Are Derby episode where he looked to be having a moment sat alone in the changing room. I suspect he knew then that he was going out on a high.
I just wish we would have had him a bit earlier on in his career. Terrific player but his legs have just gone now.

I wasn't convinced with Wildsmith, not a bad keeper but not a great one either. Next season's keeper is likely to be more involved and a better keeper would be welcome.
The new keeper's distribution needs to be better as will his decision making when coming out for the ball. I would like someone who dominates his area a bit more as well.
Wildsmith gave away 2 poor penalties last season coming out to meet a player on the edge of the box, also the incorrect sending off was due to rash decision to spread himself whilst outside the area, it was only luck that the ball hit him in the chest. Whilst in with the home fans at Cambridge, I saw and heard both Nelson and Bradley screaming at him to come and take the ball, both players having to clear the ball for throw ins in a dangerous situation in the end.
Oh, for a 'Mart Poom' out there.

I don’t think we can really comment on the retained list until we learn who the new signings are.
The Championship is a big step up and we have several players who are unproven at that level.
We should be prepared for the departure of a couple of heroes from this season but it might be for the good of both parties.

Surprised about Korey, everything else is about on par with expectations. Wildsmith was excellent to start the year but there was clearly stuff happening behind the scenes and as soon as his confidence dropped, the clangers began. I like continuity in the squad, but he's definitely upgradeable and I'm excited to see where we go hunting.
Also happy Fozzy is staying, excellent cover and a reliable old head who's never let us down. Get Sibs signed up and I'd be delighted with the base of the squad.
