I'd guess 8-10,000. I have nothing to base this estimation on though

Thing is if we are sticking to a 4231 we probably want forward thinking fullbacks on both sides. It's part of the benefit of that system is you can afford very attacking fullbacks on both sides.
Like I said elsewhere it's not so much Koiki that raises an eyebrow, I think we need that kind of player, it's more signing Stearman, Roberts and Fozzy that feels like we are bringing in one too many.
I agree. It does feel like we have too many CBs (Davies, Cashin, Chester, Stearman, Roberts). If we resign Fozzy then can also play there too.

Definitely want this rather than Stephens. Bielik out on loan, sell Knight (make sure B4 is leading the negotiation but remind him we do need to sell him so be prepared to negotiate), keep Bird, that’s really good business and midfield sorted.
It's getting to a point where our midfield is bloated if we sign Korey.
What type of midfielder is he? I can't really remember him if I am honest.

Joe Lolley told he's not wanted by forest and made to play with the 23s. I'd take him any day of the week
I would too. He would be the last piece on the jigsaw for me outside, but only on a free transfer.
-
Interesting that Fozzy has a sqaud number but hasn't signed a new deal yet.

CKR’s kid is in Burton’s academy and he’s put some money into their set up there. Person who told me thought he’d be going there - admittedly this was several months ago. Wouldn’t have shocked me at the time.
I can see CZR at Burton. He can stay local and would be a big player for them.

Looks like Bielik hasn’t been given a squad number so that makes sense.
Any idea where he may be off too? must be a case of just waiting to see which the best deal is

Surley we don't need another midfielder unless someone is off?

Lewis Grabban is free, I’d take him for a season. I still think we short up top, if Collins gets injured we have no back up
McGoldrick? Stretton?

Cyrus Christie who runs up the pitch and doesn't bother to come back, has no positional awareness or footballing intelligence of any kind, can't defend offers nothing in attack and just gets in other people's way?
Cyrus Christie one of the most useless RBs we've had in the past 15 years who was shown up for what he was by a 33 year old Chris Baird?
I do share some of your concerns but who do you suggest? Someone who gets up the pitch, provides an attacking threat and is available on a free.
Phil Bardsley would be solid defensively but wouldn't have the legs to get foward much.

I suspect Kaz and Foz both may be waiting for acceptable offers but the manager wants other players before their deals are done. We are under a strict budget and maybe someone might have to go to create funds for K&F to be re-signed. I certainly would have Stephens before either of those two. Roberts and Thompson can play left back, or @Anag Ram
We are stacked at centre midfield unless Bielik and Knight leave and in that case then we could bring in Stephens. I'd concentrate on two full backs right now and maybe another wide man.
Fozzy would/should be one of the two full backs and maybe Glover as the wide man?

Wonder who the 'more experienced' RB could be.
Martin Kelly, Tommy Smith, Cyrus Christie and Ryan Nyambe are the only domestic based RBs I can think of who're available on a free. Wouldn't say no to any if them. Lee Pelier, Danny Simpson or Phil Bardsley if we're after someone even older with less game time on offer.
I think we need someone with legs who can get up and down the pitch the way we play. I would take Cyrus Christie back on a two year contract if his wages were reasonable.

(Ozzie) Aghatise, Bardell and Ibrahim were all in the Man City academy. Aghatise and Bardell were in the same age group as Oduroh, Ibrahim the age below.
I didn't realise that mate. Hopefully they will help him settle in and feel at home at Derby.

Osazee Aghatise was at Man City academy for a few years
Thank you guys. I forgot about him, that makes sense now ?
-
Just listened to his interview, he seemed hungry to prove himself and play first team football. He was impressive against Bradford for me.
He said that he knows Ozzie at the club is that? unless I misheard him for Fozzy?
-
Pleased to get Oduroh over the line. Another right back, Fozzy and another wide man and we will be about there for me.
Any news on what's is holding up Fozzy signing a new contract?

Stearman will never play RB for us. It would be Knight or Mendez-Laing based on who we currently have signed up.
I'm not convinced either of them have the disapline required. Let's hope we get a right back signed up soon.

Based on all the players under contract with us what is our strongest 11?

We need another goalkeeper, a left back, right back, and a couple more forward players with pace preferably out wide.
We certainly have enough CFs in Collins, McGoldrick and Stretton but I agree another pacey wide man would be a welcome addition.
-
I think full backs are we are short. Maybe three fulls back? Fozzy and Oduroh could be two of them.
Maybe another wide man? a loanee or Glover?
Then we are about there (not taking into account any future departures) as we don't want a bloated sqaud.
-
I think he was impressive at the weekend and clearly has raw talent. We need a couple of right backs and I can't see why he can't be one of them. He will only get better with experience.
Hopefully we will sign him up and then we can look to add with a more experienced right back too.

David Clowes is the man who has made it all happen !!
Korey Smith - Signed 2 year deal

I keep reading how "versatile" could he feature a right back sometimes?
