Apart from the goal keeper and central defence, England have probably the best squad in Europe. Bellingham, Kane, Saka, Foden, Rice, Walker, Trent, Palmer all top class, they could get into any team. If Radford gets back in form, Henderson gets back to playing good level you have got a very good a chance to win it this summer.

Radford ? He has been retired since the 1970’s , he gave Roy Mac a runaround at Highbury once.  😉

Can’t believe the sentiment on here about a talented young player who is desperate to prove himself but whose career has been blighted by injuries.

Warne has seen a player in training who exhibits amazing skill. He has shown faith in TJJ because if he could get fit, he’d be a great addition.

It didn’t work out but surely the hope is that this young man realises his dreams?

 

Hopefully when he recovers he can get a full preseason and kick. Could still be a useful free signing on the right terms

There are pages and pages on here - ITK and speculation about transfers . We know Rice and Hernandez were £100 mill each . Just saying , Rams are keeping it quiet .🤷🏻‍♂️

I honestly cannot remember the last time DCFC disclosed a fee. Over the last few years they always seem to have been undisclosed.

So , you know some of the details do you ?Many clubs will announce what they got for a player . DCFC did say they had had a derisory bid for Bird .

Most transfers seem to be fee “undisclosed “ these days

But I thought BT said it was Ennis, I am confused 🙃

Pretty sure BT said it wasn’t a name that had been mentioned before but didn’t name them.

Definitely the type we should be looking at. A quality player that's about to start his peak years and on a free transfer, perfect! Being a Derby supporter is a great bonus for sure. He'd be a good value asset on the books and an ideal replacement for the holes left by Knight and Bird. Top shout there.

Shrewsbury fans not very complimentary about him on their forum. 
Another player we have been linked with a few times. Scored a good free kick at PP last season.

I remember it well, Just think what we could have done if left as was, A York perhaps?, Maybe a Chester?, If you go out of the back door of Jorrocks pub it takes you alongside Sadler gate, Where the Tiger Bar is at the old fish market look to your right above and you'll see the outline of an old police station from the 1800s, Stand where the Assembly rooms are and to the left of the Guildhall you'll see a pub sign the Royal Oak I think that never opened...if still there🤷‍♂️ A shedload of history gone in a stroke of a planners pencil 👎 

There are lots of tunnels under the streets as well that go from building to building. Again if pumped out and well maintained would be a tourist attraction 

Exeter 2-1 up 80mins 

2-1 Exeter

Peterborough's new winger signing (Olakigbe) sent off for a 2nd yellow. Poku still meant to be out for a few more games due to injury too

Exeter 1-1 with Posh now

Is it not a moot point until things are in our own hands? Until then it doesn't matter what we do - we could be brilliant and win every game left this season and still end up in the play offs if Pompey and Bolton do the same.

Except that we won every game we would beat Pompey and Bolton and they would also have to play each other so on that basis Pompey and Bolton couldn’t win every game 😉😅

I send Mrs Badger one and never sign my name, but I've no idea why. Thinking of not bothering this year and getting her this instead.

Will it meat her needs?

You said it would be two months before any of our strikers were back playing, now you change the narrative.

Perhaps previous collapses have coloured my view a little but we have a tough run in too. We also seem to have incredibly bad luck with injuries.

I think Derby and Bolton will get over the line as I think you will grind out the required wins.

All ifs and buts at this moment though, still lots of football to be played.

Hopefully we both go up.

Carlin a name that has a past Derby connection

We did the right thing here, If, IF, we go up he’ll likely join, Wednesday will almost certainly be in league 1 again and find the position much weaker. 
 

Still a concern that we never entertain signing younger talent. I’m hoping we’re going to do that from day 1, when back in the championship. 

TJJ is the young talent we gambled on . Might still sign when out of contract in the summer if he is fit and has a good pre season ?

Remember when we were linked with Jordan Rhodes?

Some people on here did the exact same thing. 

"No thanks" "Hes past it"

People pointed to his goal scoring record being poor.

He ended up at Blackpool and hes second top scorer with 15 goals in 19 games. I bet we all would take him now.

Now we are doing the same with Gayle.

Same with McGoldrick and CKR

I’m not sure what the situation is with him, transfermarkt has him as a free agent but @sage pointed out last night he signed a deal with a club in China and I can’t see anything saying he left that club so I reckon it’s an error on the website which happens. IF he is a free agent he’d be a good option but can’t see that we’d sign him 

Think he has since left China and is a free agent again 

Just now, Curtains said:

It’s not that good is it .

He won’t stick around in League 1 

But potentially massively increases his value if DCFC decide to sell.

So by that we sold him now because we think we would get less in the summer?  Obviously Bristol disagree.  Surely they would only do that if they think they would have had to fight off competition in the summer.  I always thought there was no way to accurately predict what the independent tribunal would assess the training compensation to be

You would have to ask BC that,  probably so they didn’t get involved with a beauty contest with other clubs that might want to take on Bird and potentially offer bigger wages in the Summer window when budgets have changed.
Nothing to do with transfer fees , once Bird is out of contract it’s his choice where he goes DCFC would have no influence.
With regards to how the compo is worked not wanting to be rude but read the article ? 
Mainly to do with how long at the club , appearances , current wages and wages in the new contract offer . It has been reported in the local press that we would be due a “substantial development fee” what ever that is. Hence why we could ignore low ball 250k bids by Hull etc.  

45 minutes ago, Spanish said:

interested to know the basis for how much you think that the independent tribunal would have valued him at. 

Bristol don't need him currently so hopefully have paid up in order to stop a bidding war in the summer.  There so many things I don't understand.  Why sell him now, why loan him back, why do we need the money now, if Bristol  think there will be a bidding war why didn't we just hang on?  I currently can think of nothing that makes this a good deal, perhaps someone else can suggest something

There wouldn’t be a bidding war in the summer because Bird could just leave and we would get the financial compo award. 

A quick Goole on “How to work out development compensation for EFL players “ gives you the formula. I’m an old dinosaur so unable to copy the link .
