YorkshireRam Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 I agree with you fully Yorkshire. He's nearly 35 years old and clearly not good enough at Championship level but he's here for one eventuality. To get a minute or two if there's no other option. That's why I was so surprised Saul Deeney got so much stick, it's why I was surprised when there was a near 40 page thread panicking about MIchael Boulding coming in on trial and then getting a short term months deal. Lee Naylor is the same type of signing. Not decent cover at all but someone we'd throw on in a real emergency or at a push if we were already 3 or 4 nil up with 4 minutes to go, and even then it wouldn't be right. Exactly, I'd like to see Eros Medaglia given a chance over Naylor if he signed. He's meant to have quite a lot of potential according to reports in Argentina.

If it's McClean then it's the proof we need that Nixon isn't as #ITK as he makes himself out to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMemsahib Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 It annoys me that every time we bid for a player the other club is straight onto the media telling them they have rejected a bid Anyway promotion winning teams are built around a blend of players so this guy may do a really good job My main bugbear too. I long for the days to return when the first time we heard that we were signing someone was when the club released the picture of him wearing a Derby shirt.

Ambitious Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Sky Sports are usually spot on, so I can't see the Francis being false - McClean, maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 MIchael Boulding ring any bells? No-one, no matter what kind of stick I have to take about it, is going to convince me that the signing and then subsequent re-signing of Lee Naylor is anything other than Mac doing an ex player of his a favour. Which is fine, maybe he knows him and he feels he knows what he can expect from him, it happens all the time in football and it's ok as long as we're up front about it and dont try to pass it off a decent signing. The lad couldn't get a game for Accrington Stanley and he's here for a year and a half? I don't think Naylor has ever played for McClaren. I think he considered him for an England squad once but he was never actually picked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right I think. I'm wrong, unless he played for him in the under 21,s Makes the signing even more remarkable but I've got to be honest and say I was wrong.

But Nixons strike rate is really good, and I don't think the DET has ever had an exclusive on a dcfc transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Nicholson is more closely associated with the club which, in my eyes, makes him more reliable. Nixon seems to ask more questions to people trying to push transfers, Nicholson gets told what he's told. If Derby don't want the public finding something out, even if he's told, he won't publish it. I'd argue Nixon can offer the 'juicy gossip' that he is fed from agents, advisors...etc and Nicholson can clarify the questions. If Nicholson says we're interested then it's not 'speculation' rather than a given, but Nixon can find out where the bids are going and what not. That's my take on it.

-JW- Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Nicholson said that the mccormack thing was nonsense, 24 hours later he backtracked and said we were monitoring him. He obviously knows some of the media boys at the club, but they don't know much about transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
