Rhodes will demand big wages (on par with Hourihane) and at 33 y/o has surely seen his best days, 9 league goals in 58 games over the last two years with the terriers doesn’t scream goal scorer to me. Why is Johnson Clarke Harris (Posh) not being looked at? At 28 y/o entering his prime, a proven goal getter at this level, transfer listed by posh, in the last year of his contract and will cost less in wages. Seems a real no brainer to me. 
Use the Knight fee and go and get him! 

I’d probably have a w***!

Our 3 strikers: Collins, Washington and Rhodes. Poor from Warne and the recruitment team. Where’s the money?

Agreed , a prolific goalscorer or our main source of goals is the most important part of the puzzle and you want him up to speed with the players providing him the service etc , yes there's plenty of time to sign someone before the window closes but there's an urgency to getting them accustomed to Warne team and game plan and fitness levels 

Can't read much into pre season friendlies and it's a good job because we've been kak 😂

So preseason isn’t important then .
We need the new players to integrate.
Warne has been saying he didn’t have a preseason with his players and the players were not signed by him .
Im not criticizing Warne I like him but he can’t have it both ways 

Oh no! It's happened again!

Can't imagine that little injury-prone tubster doing the pressing that Warne wants.

Think Sam Smith from Cambridge on a free now is an obvious one people have mentioned, but the fact no one has signed him would suggest his wage demands are rather high.
 
Might be one we see move in a few weeks time when his wage demands drop. Only 25 years old and has scored around 15 goals last two seasons at this level for a poor side. You’d hope he’d add a few more in a better team. 

What I’d give for a proper CF ! Pace, power, skill and a shot.
it’s been a while since we had a CF that scared opponents and was a big neon sign saying “give me the ball and I’ll do something dangerous with it.”
Crying out for a real Derby’s No 9 
Chrissy Martin (when he wasn’t falling over), or Nuge in his initial purple patch, maybe. CKR, once in a while, brave though he was. 
We need a king ! 

Peanuts? Interested to know what you'd think he's worth...
He's 22 years old, wasn't really a stand-out player in League One, and averages about 3 goals per season. He doesn't have a role he's nailed down and has a year left on his contract.
I think he is a good player, but that price is fair. His international manager is obviously hammering in the need for him to play at a better level to continue his international career, which is having an impact. Just like with Bielik. Personally, I don't see how playing for Bristol City is going to propel him to the level that Ireland want him to be, as opposed to us, but each to their own.
If we re-invest the money well, then it's an excellent deal for us. He's a good player, but at this level, that sort of money needs to get you the difference between promotion and no promotion. Jason Knight isn't that player.

I've seen mention that he can cover LWB? Not sure if that's right, but he would be a really good option at RWB for us. It gives more depth as Ward can play further forward, and Wilson can also play in a flat back 4, so gives us flexibility should we wish to change things mid-game.

Any news about Mark Harris? This is a Mark Harris thread right?

Couldn't give 2 figs about what he's said about us.
Scoring 3 goals last season and being 37... I do mind.

As a player, you'd say no? 
I can understand some reticence around his personal character, but as a player?

Wouldn't say he's ducked out , he has barely featured yet for any manager , he must have something about him to be a big figure in man cities youth team so hopefully he kicks on this season and earns himself a space with us next year

Cosgrave is a bit of a Conor Sammon throwback - not something I want to live through again. 

I hope he's a winger with them awful stats 👀

Would be a signing I'd be quite excited about , dont think he's on our radar for some reason though

Agreed , ideally you'd want your main striker in asap to build relationships with the people providing you the service , hope to see bielik go tbh so we can spend a bit on a striker
