DcFc Dyycheee Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Good, if they're all good quality signings... we should be able to achieve the play-offs at least. 5 experienced players into our side, of good quality - put with our batch of promising young players should make a huge difference! I'll wait and see who he brings in, Baptiste would be a promising start. I should point out though, he did say it depends on out-goings, but that will just be Tyson, Theo etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mary Hindge Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 If Baptiste signs can we please call him John? Took on his step-dads name a couple of years ago and was known as Alex John-Baptise, back to Alex Baptise now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBadSleepWell Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I think with the addition of Baptiste, Forsyth, McCann, Martin and Waghorn we would have a good chance at making the playoffs. Unless I'm mistaken they are all available on frees with the exception of Forsyth who would be available for around £300,000. Will Grigg would be a good option if there is room in the budget, as would a new winger. We aren't a million miles away though, and that's encouraging if nothing else is. That would give us a squad of: Fielding, Legzdins, Deeney - Brayford, Freeman, Forsyth, Hoganson - Keogh, Baptiste, Buxton, Barker, Gjokaj, O'Brien - Hughes, Bryson, Hendrick, Coutts, Jacobs, Davies, Ward, (New Winger) - Sammon, Martin, Waghorn, Bennett, (Grigg) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gcdcfc28 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Bailey, Deeney, Tyson, Robinson and I can see Davies moving on, pretty sure he's out of contract this summer..? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harveyharveyharveydent Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 What's this notion that we strengthened our defence last year that Mr Rush said when he was up in Belper? We sold Shackell and brought in an average replacement in Keogh, this is sadly why I'm skeptical that baptise will come from new money, I could probably see Brayford going to finance Baptise, seeing as Clough doesn't recognise him as a right back otherwise he would'nt have kept playing him in bizarre positions. Hope we sign some decent players this season, my patience and wallet is wearing thin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been one of our best players this season and also younger than Shackell, who may i add, hasn't set the world alight at Burnley according to a mate of mine.

I would kindly beg to differ on Keogh, but Shackell isn't doing well because he's not at Derby, not that I'm biased or anything.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keogh is a very good defender in this division. As is Shackell, but Keogh is 3 years younger, so for a similar fee, it was a good deal for the club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Nicky Maynard injured recently but a very good player and clough tends to get the best out of players (no player has done miles better at another club compared to their time under Nigel) from memory Nigel's dad was renowned for taking players that had something wrong with them and fixing it so to speak, players that other clubs would be put off from for reasons one example is that I heard he signed a player called kenny burns that had an attitude and alcohol problem nobody knew why clough signed him but he turned out to be an excellent signing? someone could clarify? maybe give an example of Brian at derby where nobody knew why he signed a player but it turned out to be a quality signing. maybe Nigel will see past things like the injury Maynard has.

Albert Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The biggest signings we could make this off season are these two lads I've seen play recently. The first is called John Brayford and the other is Jamie Ward. Good players, could certainly help us next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
