But agree it would be good if we could find a few gems like we did with the players of the past, baiano eranio etc To be fair, our entire starting eleven at Wembley only cost £200,000 more than Kodjia cost Brizzle! That's not even taking into account the wheeler-dealing we did selling Shackell and signing Keogh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he meant vs the Eranio etc days... Which was the early years after the Bosman ruling and therefore was a different market for European players coming in to England...

Indeed, also add to that that it's not just the very top teams anymore with extensive scouting networks and contacts. Even second tier teams are scouting all over Europe now.

If so, we don't seem to have had much of a return on the time and money invested, particularly when you compare with a club such as Leicester!

That'd be because most of our foreign scouting has been fir the academy although I would agree it would be nice to be able to find these gems for ourselves rather than having to pay a premium the season after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to see here chaps Apologies in advance because this sounds like a really cocky, self entitled statement that you'll hear from me and many other Derby fans .... but Dyche, Irvine, Bruce and Powell have all in recent seasons said the exact same thing about their players when we'd shown an interest and weeks later the player had signed. Kodjia may very well be different but if he's top of the shopping list and we aren't close to FFP limits (no one seems to know where we stand with that), there's a strong chance we'll be able to negotiate a deal with you and convince Kodjia to come. Similarly, Pearson has recently said pretty much that Hendrick isn't for sale but I still expect he'll leave after Burnley up their offer. I personally don't think he's a priority as we've got Martin, Weimann, Russell, Blackman and Bent who can all play down the middle and there's been no rumours whatsoever about any of those leaving.

North_Stand_Ram Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 A good player yes but he's had 1 season at a decent level... I know the market values are crazy at the minute, but I'd rather us splash on someone a tad more proven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
