RamLad1884 Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Realistically how many of SR targets have we got? I'm talking the ones we've put more than one bid in for then we've generally got. Hoping to see the same with Butterfield and an attacker of some sort maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 For anyone who wants to listen to Powell's words on Butterfield and Derby yesterday, go to 6:30 on here:http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p030fdkj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heisenberg Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 For anyone who wants to listen to Powell's words on Butterfield and Derby yesterday, go to 6:30 on here:http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p030fdkj Would be worrying if I was a Huddersfield fan listening to that.Powell seems all but resigned to losing him, it certainly wouldn't shock me if there was a verbal agreement already in place and he signed next week, certainly in time for the Leeds game.

Don't want to leave it until after the Leeds game with it being so close to the end of the window.

The_Sheriff Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 agree with Heisenberg, it sounded like its going to happen. A Mate of mine is a terrier and told me how pivotal he is for the team so would want a ''good 5m'. I thought that was steep but i compared it to chris martin, he is pretty much pivotal to Derby by most peoples views on here so you would demand more then what they are actually worth i suppose.

Walsall_Ram Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Thanks for posting that link @Cam the RamI'm not sure what Powell means by "I'd like them to conduct their business better"It's not as if we've offered peanuts for him, if the rumour about a 5m bid for him is true. They could easily replace him with a league one player for that amount of money.Love Powell, he's one of my all time favourite ex Rams, but he's kind of lost me a little here.

North_Stand_Ram Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 progressing well and we hope they are available for the next game, against Leeds," said Clement."Hanson is the most advanced, followed by Hendrick and then Bryson but they all do have a chance of making the squad for Leeds."Even if they are available, we still need another midfielder."Derby have a number of targets, including Huddersfield Town's Jacob Butterfield and Brighton & Hove Albion's Dale Stephens.Huddersfield and Brighton say bids from Derby have been rejected.The Rams have also had a significant bid for Nottingham Forest attacker Michail Antonio knocked back.Clement will not be drawn on Derby's targets."The priority is a midfielder," he said when asked if a deal for Antonio was any closer.He added: "I cannot say we are close or not close with any of the players. When the players are signed, that is when they are in."All I can say is we have targeted not one but a couple of good midfielders."Good midfielders – any good players – are hard to get because clubs want to keep hold of them."We are pushing hard and we hope something will be done soon to complement the already good squad we have got."Hopefully, that will happen this week."

dcfcsmith Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Really hope we get this lad from what Powell was saying it sounds like he's got no decision in the process can't believe the figure could be more than we payed for Thorne though the markets gone mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WoollyJumper Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 My guess, and it is purely a guess, is that we're playing silly ******** behind the scenes because we know we're an attractive proposition.On the surface, I think we run things the right way. However, I think we also know what buttons to press in order to give us a better chance at pulling off a deal. I don't get the whole idea that bidding for a player 24 hours before a game is unprofessional, though. I mean, when else are we meant to bid for them now? Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday... Apparently, we aren't allowed to make any bids for players on days that end a Y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
