Would be pleased with Dunk, though Brighton won't sell to anyone. Just trying to think of possibilities from PL/Championship - Liam Moore, Marcin Wasileski, Tommie Hoban, Shane Duffy, Christophe Berra, Jake Cooper - can't think of many other realistic signings that'd add much to the squad/team. Moore was rubbish for Bristol City and Berra's age has caught up with him. Would happily take Dunk or Hanley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t'oldu Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Bucko would just disrupt the basic back two if used as a third CB. He is all heart but too wayward. Baird can play in a 3 at the back. Don't know anything about Pearce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Aden Flint from Bristol City could be a possibility - originally from Pinxton. That said, in an ideal world I'd happily bring in Dunk and Hanley to replace both our first choice centre backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Personally I'm not too concerened about the CB's we've got - depending who goes. I'd like to see Rawson given a chance. He's been a star in a poor Rotherham side and I bet many of us have never seen him in a Derby shirt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Nixon saying that the story that didnt make the paper is still a possible deal but unlikely to happen in the next few days...goes on to say its a an attacker (someone to play off a main striker) and would be a buy, also says he thinks someone may have to go first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wouldn't say our wingers played off the strikers, I've allows had the impression someone playing off the striker is either a pacey striker off the holding man, or an attacking midfielder who pushes up like Bryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems far more likely that we'd be looking for a centre forward for one of them to play off, given that we've only got Chris Martin - who may or may not fit into Pearson's system, but even if he does, he needs back up/competition.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 A crazy wash my mouth out suggestion could be Matty Fryatt from the red dogs. Ive always been a fan of his, he plays off the striker and can score goals in the right team. I may be wrong but I think he came up from league 1 with Pearson scoring a bag full of goals, although I think Pearson then sold him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about having more though, is it? It's about bringing in better players. You're telling me you wouldn't rather have someone like Kodjia in the team over Russell, Bent, Blackman and flipping Mason Bennet!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say that Kodija plays off a striker, so I assumed that Nixon was talking about someone else. The reality is though, I'm happy to trust Nigel Pearson's judgement. If he thinks we need another 'second striker', then that's good enough for me. If that's the case though, I think we'll see more than a few tweaks this summer.

I'd prefer Forestieri, but Fryatt for £1m might be a bit more realistic than Forestieri for £10m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernRam Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 Forestieri would be a quality signing and would fit the 'playing off the striker'/secondary striker role - can't see Wednesday even entertaining an offer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 14, 2016 Share Posted June 14, 2016 I think it was waghorn, but we were linked with Fryatt, but it was in the days when we were linked with a player and then offered 50k max.....oh how times have changed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
