Carson, Christie, Keogh, Shackell, Forsyth, Thorne, Johnson, Hendrick, Ince, Russell, Martin

 

Don't think that's what he will do though.

Looking the most balanced team, Srg. However, they all have to play well on the day to get on top of these teams. There are still five Clough players in there as would be Hughes. Three Maclaren players and only three Clement players. Interesting.Three Clement signings out of nine looks a bit odd. A possible conclusion would be evolution rather than revolution.Can anyone tot up the transfer fees for this team?

Chris, If I could invent a sub-thread here for a few people  it would be:-

Which Derby players are playing better than they did last season in:-

a) The Pre-Meltdown games? 

b) The Meltdown games?

For me:- a) Christie, Keogh and Hendrick

               b) Everyone who played in the Meltdown!!!!

 In addition:- Johnson, Shackell and Carson are major improvements on the Squad

May be worth a couple of comments here Chris.

Carson - "nominal" - c200k?
Christie - "nominal, set by tribunal" - not a clue. 
Keogh - £1m
Shackell - "undisclosed" - c£3m 
Forsyth  - £150k
Thorne - reports of anywhere between £1.5m-£3.2m
Johnson - "undisclosed, club record" - £5-6m
Hendrick - academy graduate - free 
Ince - £4.75m
Russell - £750k
Martin - free

So you're probably looking in the £15m region for that starting XI

Hi AnimalsaRam, thanks mate. It looks good value at that money in my opinion. Got to be worth twice that when they are playing well. Always assuming that we had the money available, Johnson looks worth the money at £10 million if he continues to be at least as effective as he has been so far.If Thorne can do a whole season and continue to improve, his transfer fee will look like peanuts.Martin for free, what a signing! The way that Keogh is playing now, nobody could complain at £6 worth. Carson could make it to fourth choice for England, the way that he is playing, if he continues to improve in front of a solid defence.The other players that we have in addition to this eleven puts in a very healthy position on paper at least.

What's the Clough / Macca / Clement split on those signings?

What's the Clough / Macca / Clement split on those signings?

Carson - Clement
Christie - McClaren
Keogh - Clough
Shackell - Clement
Forsyth  - Clough
Thorne - McClaren
Johnson - Clement
Hendrick - Clough
Ince - McClaren
Russell - Clough
Martin - Clough

Scores on the doors, George Dawes:

Clough 5
McClaren 3 
Clement 3 

I gave Ince to Mac on the basis that it looked like he would come here despite Mac being sacked. You could also argue some Clough influence on Shackell's signing given that he was here before..

Fair enough, Keogh was worth around £6 last year but the way he's playing this year I'd say it's nearer £6,000,000.
