toddy Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/35251690 Paul Clement: Derby transfer incomings already done Derby County have already finished signing players in the transfer window, according to head coach Paul Clement. The Rams have brought in Guinea international striker Abdoul Camara and Reading forward Nick Blackman. And Clement, whose side are second in the Championship, told BBC Radio Derby he was "pretty sure" the duo will be the only new faces arriving in January. "The situation can change very quickly if you have an injury in a certain position," Clement added. "We know very clearly where we are strong and where we have slightly less cover. "If we were to pick up a serous injury that is going to take more than a week or two weeks to recover from, it might be that we have to do something. But at this point I am very happy with what we have brought in. "We want to get promoted this year and, bringing in the additional talent in Abdoul and Nick, hopefully we will be able to achieve tha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cam the Ram Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Hopefully if an opportunity too good to refuse presents itself we will have a go. If Wednesday have an offer accepted for Judge and it's a low fee, I'd love for us to nip in and steal him from under their noses like we did Blackman. We have plenty of attacking minded players, but Judge for cheap would surely be too good to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I still think we will see a LB and a surprise big money signing. i may be very wrong, but stranger things have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimeram Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 What about O'Dowda? Is this now dead in the water, or was it never really going to happen and was just paper talk? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe PC has any input on U21 signings, that's Wassall's area, so it wouldn't count as a signing to him. PC hasn't commented on any of our youth signings since he joined, interviews on RamsPlayer about them have all been with Wassall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stimacked Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Clement is not asking to manage even more players than he already has to. As far as Clement knows, and is concerned, the squad is strong enough, that's it. But, his position is different to the one Clough held, and even Maclaren.They had more say and input into the transfer dealings. I don't think Clement has even asked for many of the signings that have been made since he was appointed. Probably got given a dossier and a video clip and some stats and he just had to agree. "O.K boss, I'll coach them, sure Gov " I wouldn't be surprised if Mel and Sam pull off a couple more signings in the coming weeks, whether Clement wants them or not. Clement's job is to manage and coach whichever players Mel and Agents Chief Sam can haggle deals for and think would make the side even stronger.

Leicester Ram Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 I think we'll settle and if anyone gets injured we'll probably just get a loan in. We don't need to get in anymore permanent signings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Paul will have the deciding factor, you will probably find out that he asks a recruitment panel to come up a LB for example and they would then put potential players for that position to him and I am sure he has the final nod, after all it is Paul's responsibility that the team is successful.

Rampage Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Two in, two out. Camara and Blackman in. Dawkins on a permanent and Pearce out on a loan, hopefully just for a month. We need Pearce as a backup.Clement knows that every game counts. He said if someone is out for a week or two, we get get someone else in! If Grant gets injured we are down to Mitchell and Roos.

I don't think we rate him much, reading between the lines of the Pascal interviews recently. So if Grant got injured I'd imagine a loan would happen very quickly. Do we need Pearce? Probably not now Buxton's fit, but he'll probably have a 24hr recall just in case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LazloW Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Boo. If there is one thing I really love about footy is the transfer rumour mill and the anticipation of the next one through the door (like a fan version of Barry Fry).. Don't ruin the expectation by saying its all over so early. Very happy with the business we've done and the strength of the squad and so on and so forth but there you go. I like a good transfer rumour. cTakes me back to the good old days of constantly refreshing the Ceefax every five minutes to see if we'd signed anybody when Arthur was splashing Lionel's cash.

I do rate Judge but wonder if we bought him, similar to Blackman, could he turn out to be a one season wonder? Judge has been bang average before this season and don't get me wrong, players can improve but could we be seeing a ''13/14 Bryson'' whereby he has one fantastic season and then can never really replicate that form again?

Possibly, but like Blackman, if he was cheap we could probably make most, if not all the money back on him if we were ever to sell, whereas signing someone like McCormack for £10 million +, you aren't likely to make even half that back if he were to lose this good form. Not sure what the fee is with Judge at the minute though, I originally saw that Sheff Wednesday bid £1.5 million (probably a load of rubbish from Wednesday fans) and if he is available for anything near that I'd hope we'd go for him.
