I agree in part, but what we do offer is a former Dundee Utd player who he may know and have looked up to, a young up-and-coming team who gives youth a chance in a league who would be able to contribute to.

Don't get me wrong, would like to see him here, based on what I've read, just don't think it's likely. Maybe jr could swing it for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Would *love* us to sign Wisdom. Hope you're right. If so, I think he's a better long term bet at CB and would consider swapping him and Keogh over. *vomits* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 *vomits* Not a fan of that idea then? For me "the beast" would be far harder to shrug off the ball in the middle, battling against a physical centre forward. And would be a good footballing centre half too.

No, I'm really pro Wisdom at CB and have been saying for ages we should sign him as a CB, just the idea of Keogh at RB makes me queasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree the rationale for me is very much that I think Wisdom could be the best CB in the division, rather than especially wanting Keogh at right back. But I'm not absolutely set against trying Keogh there. Though it was a fine own goal in midweek (poor guy!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I'd be half tempted, not knowing our budget, to offer Chelsea 1.5m to 2m for Lewis Baker and John Swift. They're crowded out of playing at Chelsea, hitting 20 next season too. I guess it all depends on budget though, but they'd be a great investment as opposed to signings. I think both players have the same potential as Hughes, and could be available quite cheap. I'd be envious of anyone who signs them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 With them just signing Fabregas as well! I think it would be more realistic to offer £500k for one of them They're two of the best NextGen players in Europe. 500k wouldn't be enough, I don't imagine. They both had appearances on the bench last season, mind. So, it could still be neigh on impossible to sign them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamsTID Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I think a loan deal for them sounds more realistic. Chelsea won't want to give away two great prospects, maybe in a few years if they still haven't made a break through then a permanent deal could be sorted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaryDCFC Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 If we're going for unrealistic wonderkids why don't we look at FC Porto's Juan Quintero? He looks epic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Ginkel, Piazon, Atsu...etc are all rated higher than Baker and Swift at Chelsea. They had around 30 players out on loan last season, the ones that weren't on loan (that won the NextGEN prem) are still below that lot of 30-odd players. Both are really good, but have around 9/10 players in front of them, not to mention themselves, so a strong permanent offer could see them let them go.

Derbydave96 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Max Clayton? Out of contract, few champ clubs interested, only 19, very highly rated Squad player maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abertawe_ram Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Max Clayton? Out of contract, few champ clubs interested, only 19, very highly rated Squad player maybe? I wondered about him, was hugely rated a couple of years ago and supposedly considered a better prospect than Powell. The hype seems to have died down and his stats don't look that impressive but there must be something their considering the amount of people who were said to be scouting him before. If Steve thought there was something there he could work with I'd be all for giving him a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abertawe_ram Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Talking to my mate who supports Orient today and he said that their young winger Moses Odubajo is generating a lot of interest. He obviously doesn't want him to leave but seems almost resigned to the fact he will go after they missed out on promotion. He says if Odubajo left he'd love him to go to Derby as he would actually get games and not be forgotten about plus he'd really suit our attacking style. Never seen him play myself but he described him as Zaha-esque but more of a team player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1ghterfeul Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 He's not a bad player seen him play a couple of times this year, just not sure wether he can make the jump from promotion chasing League 1 to promotion chasing Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RetroRam Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Moses Odubajo, biblical finish there. Forest are all interested in signing him so I say let's get him, if nothing more than to P them off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Wasn't impressed with him that much over the 3 games I watched him in the play offs... including the one he scored in. Seems to be all pace and no touch or imagination. Can do better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
