Maybe he's not worth that mate, but I'd rather pay that for Andre rather than say Flint or Hanley. IMO he's a better player and younger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 3 minutes ago, Kernow said: £2.5m for Wisdom & Davies is fantastic business. If we keep on to key players & trim the squad of deadwood then it'll be one of the most well received transfer windows for a while. Even in today's market, you can still pick yourself up a bargain. Makes our overspending of recent years look even more wasteful. Although this defence has been assembled over a few years now, the strength despite low cost is impressive. Carson, Wisdom, Keogh, Davies, Forsyth. Around £4m in total for those five players and a good enough standard to challenge for the automatic places for sure. Curtis Davies & Andre Wisdom for the same price as Andreas Weimann. Not sure what our recruitment team were smoking back then, but it's nice to know we're in good hands now.

Kinder Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Really pleased with this. He was rock solid last time he was here. It's shaping up to be a good transfer window! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rab a dab doo Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Brilliant signing really happy. For once we know who we want and are going out and getting them in early. No repeat of late panic buying like last year. Look's like GR should have our full squad all signed and sealed by before the start of pre-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Pretty sure I said earlier in this thread a deal of up to £4m with £2m upfront the rest on promotion clauses etc would be great business, so I'm more than happy with that. Well done recruitment team ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to MM here, learning from his mistakes and spending properly now. It's called the Rowett effect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 On 07/04/2017 at 12:58, Leicester Ram said: We could nab Wisdom on the cheap. A lot of people will ridicule it, 'people need to stop trying to rebuild the 13/14 team, move on, bunch of bottlers' etc. But what I'd like about that is that he's now a the stage where he is undervalued by a lot of other clubs. If you're talking about bang for your buck, Wisdom's a top shout. He's still young, he suits what we want (a physical, defensive RB to play behind Ince), has a point to prove which gives him that hunger Rowett is looking for and he has an attachment to the club/fan base already. But his stocks low coming off the back of three seasons on loan not settling at a club! Just logistically, if there's a Championship club he's likely to want to sign for, it's us. He has more value and possible upside for us than any other team in the division. He reminds me of Ince as to where he is in his career right now. Ince had shown a lot of talent coming out of his years at Blackpool/Liverpool, but didn't find the right fit for him at Palace, Hull or Forest. Came to Derby when his stock was down, suited the system and now we have a player worth a lot more than what we got him for. The same goes for Chris Martin, no matter your opinion of him. Showed early promise at Norwich, then wasn't ready to make the PL step up. Had a bad time at Swindon and Palace on loan, then came to Derby where he fit the system. Now he's worth near 10 million. We brought him in for FREE when his stock was low. We should be buying players who we can improve. It's easy to buy Nick Blackman, Bradley Johnson and Jacob Butterfield coming off really good seasons/form, but how many of those have lived up to expectations? Have we got our money's worth with Blackman? We definitely won't be getting our money back when he leaves. To rule out Wisdom on the principal that you should 'never go back' is completely irrational, when you assess him just as a player, he's exactly the type we've had success with. Just because his early success was here at Derby instead of Blackpool or Norwich doesn't mean he's not a good transfer target now. Let absolutely none of this distract you from the fact I called this back in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcfc the 1 4me Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 I hope this puts Hanley out of the picture for us now. With Wisdom we get a better player and some muscle in the back four, which in shaping up nicely. Forsyth, Davies, Wisdom and Keogh looks pretty good to me. Can't wait to see his shoulder barges again, best one being when he did one on Mcgugan and he had to go off after about 10 mins! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kennington Ram Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Great signing if true for that initial money quoted - if the rest follows promotion we won't care one jot! Was awesome at RB but maybe he's going to CB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie G Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Very happy with this signing. With Forsyth at left back we have two 6ft plus full backs who are very good in the air. Hopefully our defending from corners and free kicks will improve. Maybe GR might even keep a player up front if we do concede a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KBB Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Delighter with this. Thought he might have bigger fish to fry than derby to be perfectly honest, so delighted if we have managed to get a deal over the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
