Kamikaze Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Torn by this one, 2million is clearly value just don't see him as an improvement on Thorne, Johnson or Hughes. Plus means less opportunities for the likes of Elsnik, Vernam, Hanson and Guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andicis Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/40203346 No idea if this was posted already, but Nigel Clough said this a few days ago. 'Burton Albion could find it "very difficult" keeping midfielder Jackson Irvine if the Championship club receives a good enough offer, says manager Nigel Clough.'

Parsnip Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think this would be a great signing for us - a perfect fit really given his playing style and Rowetts preferred formation. I've never seen him play or owt, don't know what he looks like or even really what position he plays - attacking midfielder is he? But I'm really excited about signings now so i want to get this one over the line. And we can call him our Rameroo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistoldPete2 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Don't know much about this guy. He scored 10 goals as Dm, but I guess quite a few headers in there. We don't have anyone who can cross the ball, so he won't get many goals for us unless we improve other areas. Is is he any good as a Dm? If so he could be useful if thorne isn't fit.

I'm in the same boat as you as not knowing a deal about. I'd like to add on the question of 'how good is he on the ball?' For anyone who has watched him play a fair bit.

I don't think he's a defensive midfielder - He's a box to box mid like Bryson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes Fan Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 He's 6"2 strong in the air and strong in general. He doesn't look out of place next to Mooy in the Aussie national team although his technical ability is lacking in comparison. He works hard and scoring ten goals in a struggling side as a midfielder who puts a shift in defensively is obviously impressive. I think he'd be a good (potentially very good) signing. Is midfield an area where you need reinforcing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is midfield an area where you need reinforcing? We've got a lot of technically good players in there (Thorne, Butterfield, Hughes) but we arguably need a warrior who can battle in the centre of the park and get the ball forward. For me, Irvine ticks all the boxes, and at a young age he's got time to grow in our side. Other than Wisdom, he's the only player I'd really love to see Derby sign this window.

Sounds like Irvine would be perfect for you then. Does Johnson play in the centre for Derby? He's always looked like a good player to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was never a McClaren type of player for me but he'd suit a Rowett counter attacking style more. I imagine it would be Thorne+ one other at the heart of midfield.

Is is he any good as a Dm? If so he could be useful if thorne isn't fit. I think he'd be wasted at DM, even though that was probably his position at Ross, as soon as NC got hold of him he pushed him into an advanced role, starting out on the right of a 3 man midfield, then moving him central as his influence grew. I think to put him back into a DM role now would actually nullify a lot of his strong points. He's not a silky passer but he's good enough on the ball, his real strength is his box to box ability, he puts his foot in without being an enforcer, he can pass it without being Hoddle-esque. Where he really excels are in the timing of his runs, his finishing ability and he's more of a threat in the air than he gets credit for. I said earlier in the thread he's Bryson like, perhaps not yet as good as Bryso at his best but probably more potential to eventually be better than Craig in the long run. Having said that, I'd snap your hands off if you offered me Bryso as a swap. Definitely in my top 5 favourite NC signings ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
