Animal is a Ram Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/gary-rowett-reveals-how-many-transfer-targets-derby-county-have-asked-about/story-30438634-detail/story.html Quote Gary Rowett says Derby County have made inquiries for 10 players as they look to shape the squad for the new season. They have signed defenders Curtis Davies from Hull City and Liverpool's Andre Wisdom. Four players - Will Hughes, Tom Ince, Cyrus Christie and Abdoul Camara - have departed and the squad needs to be trimmed further. Derby are looking at making probably two or three more new signings but they are having to be patient. Rowett said: "I would probably say we have made inquiries for 10 players. "Their clubs have said 'we are having a look at them and we will make a decision when we get back from tour' which might be a week or two. "What I don't think is appropriate is we go and get our third or fourth choice now because we can. We can wait, we have to wait. "If we can get the ones we want, we will get them tomorrow. If we can't, we will wait patiently." Particularly like the bolded bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle guest Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 if we bought in Huddlestone, arfield & Lawrence I'd be very happy with our business this summer, and in an ideal world, got rid of Blackman, bent, shackell and olsson think we'd be looking good for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pearce I agree with problem is shackell still has this back problem so doubt anyone will have him anyway , bent probably paid off in nobody comes in for him and if we do bring in Lawrence and arfield a winger needs to go, can see it being weimann as you've said Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DEL Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Huddlestone first then Lawrence then another winger (whoever that is) That's what I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I want the Lawrence deal wrapped up, that would be one hell of a signing. Signing Huddlestone would be cracking business then, given we would have signed a 24 year old, 23 year old, 30 year old and a 32 year old, a nice amount of balance.

For whatever unwarranted poor opinion you have of Bent, he's a good player, with lots of know-how and experience, and I'm led to believe a thoroughly decent bloke around the dressing room and training ground. If you're going to pay the money anyway, may as well keep him around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not a Rowett type player, he won't even make the bench if he were to stay and he's on a big wage, Rowett wants the wage bill down and he's not gonna want to pay 30k a week to someone who won't even make the bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rowett has never had the luxury of a big squad before b) He has no choice but to pay him, that's what a contract is about! It will cost the money whether he's here or not. The only way of saving that is if someone wants to take him on less wages, which Bent is NOT obliged to accept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oomarkwright Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 There didn't seem to be much point in triggering Bents contract extension to pay him off two months later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn't a choice they made at the time of announcement - It had already been triggered It was a fairly standard "Play enough games in your final year and you get an automatic extension" type clause Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
