ripleyram88 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 That's a fiver you will owe me then. He won't be going any where at 11.59pm on transfer day, seeing as the transfer window shuts at 11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'm assuming the logic is the squad looks ok. Enough options. In Jan though a few players might not have performed or injuries have taken toll and we'll know where to strengthen. Where would Nige want to strengthen? Who won't he be pleased with? I think he's fairly happy that this team can get amongst the Play Off area and he can strengthen in Jan for a push. (Personally I'd buy a CB.)

Tricky1884 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 MAYBE - more options or better players are coming available in the next window and we're saving the money we made in this window until then. If we're near top six better players more likiely to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I assume he's going to wait and then persevere with OB for CB cover/starting competition. Anyone know when he's meant to be back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notts_ram Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Theres no context to Cloughs statement that hes happy with his squad so in itself statement is meaningless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I assume he's going to wait and then persevere with OB for CB cover/starting competition. Anyone know when he's meant to be back? There was a piece on Rams Player the other week where OB due back next month. I'd say he's in with a shout of being on the bench by October.

rammieib Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 OB and Buxton doesn't fill me within confidence. The worrying inning for me at the moment is that I wouldn't ven know who he would put in at centre back if Keogh or Buxton were to get injured. That's a sad state of affairs to be in.

Srg Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 That worries me in itself. He hasn't got the ability to be as fluid in possession. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkoRam Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 He may well be happy with the side and believe the side is capable of a top 6 finish. But no club achieved anything by only having a good starting XI. You need a squad, you need rotation to some extent, especially in the championship with the amount of games you play. You need cover for injuries, suspensions, loss of form. We're not exactly renowned for going a season with few injuries are we?The idea we are waiting until Jan to get them on a cheap? Jan is the panic buy window. Teams spend the extra for the player to help them push to the top or away from the bottom. We won't get anyone cheaper then than now. I know Nigel likes a small squad and maybe he's thinking that OB and SB will be back this season at some point so if he signed another then that will be 5 for two places. I am understand that. But there's no guarantee that they will come back, how they'll come back or if JB and RK will stay fit until then. Why not get a CB on loan from a Prem club. No expectation to play every week, good cover and not someone we're lumbered with should OB and SB come back all hunky dory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuff264 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Maybe if we save the money we have right now, then when January comes and were sitting 5th or something, we can buy that player that will push us over the final hurdle into first place!

WilkoRam Posted August 28, 2013 Author Share Posted August 28, 2013 Or maybe if we save the money we have now then by January we'll have more due to interest and can buy an even better player - some blue sky thinking going on a Pride Park!

needles Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Surely we've got more depth in the squad than we've had in years. I'm not convinced yet that the first team is any better than it was last year, although Martin and Russell threaten to make me retract that. The centre half situation doesn't bother me massively. If we can get a significantly better one then I think we will, but no point getting one for the sake of it. I'd have taken Richard Dunne, but I wouldn't be signing a Champ journeyman like, say, Luke Chambers. We all know they'll take a loan if necessary.

Perky1106 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I hate deadline day. We always end up selling some of our best players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 He'll have a cb loan lined up i reckon. Maybe for 3 months to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WilkoRam Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 What makes people so sure we have a CB lined up? If we did why wait? What's the benefit in waiting?I'm not trying to make a big issue about this as on the pitch things are going well and we should all enjoy that but a lack if depth there is a worry for me.
