Whatever talent he has is wasted, wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. If I had Mel's money I'd be tempted to buy Ravel Morrison and Nile Ranger then lock them in the dressing room until only 1 remains Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waffle Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Ryan Ledson as previously mentioned would be a great signing, but it would depend on playtime guarentees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to transfermarkt hes valued at £5.95m so a cheeky £7.5m bid to test the waters IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Perhaps it is just me or does anyone else find it slightly worrying that there is talk we will off load Keogh and have tried to bring back Buxton?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been worried since we decided to sell Will for pittance and keep being linked with OAP's. Cancelling contracts by mutual consent for them to sign for another club 12 hours later. Now talk of our top scorer who's been the getting better every year stats wise. its all a bit bonkers to me but will reserve judgement and see who we sign and how we look in pre season.

I'm fine with this - He wasn't good enough and it seems fairly obvious to me that Guingamp must have got in touch and said "we can't afford a fee for him" so we let him go - Probably cancelled the contract with zero compensation - Some players you can't get money for and you have to accept that unfortunately 1 hour ago, Jimbo Ram said: Totally agree, GR will get my 100% support.

I will be upset if anyone who started the majority of games last season goes to anywhere else other than the Premier League - Ince, Keogh and Carson firmly in that box for me However anyone who gets an offer to step up a league I wouldn't stand in their way - Disappointing yeh but we've had 4 seasons of being up and around the promotion chase and should have done better - So won't begrudge anyone a move If we let Keogh go to the places he's been linked with THAT will be the one which I question the most - You improve a squad by improving the weakest links first - Not by removing your captain and best CB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cream before any signings were made would have been Carson, Forsyth, Keogh, Hughes, Thorne, Martin and Ince...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 We may as well close this thread now, because Twitter user ashleynoz has replied to a Derby tweet with a fool proof plan to finally get us promoted. We've been making this far more complicated than it needed to be! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
