Zac Clough as a creative, goal scoring midfielder. Gboly Aryibi as a winger capable of taking their man on and driving forward. Both young and relatively cheap in today's market, hence hungry and would balance the squad a little. Martin's return ASAP is also crucial.
We're look at too many players past their peak. We need experience but we've given up on the type of signings that gave us our best players.
Carson - £500k (?) from Wigan
Christie - £300k from Coventry
Baird - Free
Keogh - £500k from Coventry
Pearce - Free
Olsson - £900k from Blackburn
Forsyth - Free
Bryson - £400k from Kilmarnock
Hughes - Academy
Russell - £750k from Dundee
Martin - Free
Bent - Free
That is a huge proportion of the most influential players at the club who were recruited for negligible fees and frees. The 'Derby Way' should be to develop lower league talents and keep them together to move the club forward. Especially with the academy a few years away from being as effective as it could be.
