I think it is pretty reliable since looking at the dates, he was one of the first to reveal Gareth Barry to West Brom? Seems odd making up a transfer rumour like that if not authentic.

Sexydadbod Posted August 19, 2017 Author Share Posted August 19, 2017 We would be able to get him for a couple of million. He seems to have stagnated but as @Nuwtfly said in the transfer thread, he's a type of player Rowett will like. I imagine it would signal the end of Anya's Derby career though.

Cam the Ram Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 For me he's just too similar to the likes of Weimann and Russell. Works hard and can produce a bit of magic every now and then, but hasn't been at his best for a few years now. I'm not against signing players who's form has dipped in recent seasons and are in need of a fresh start, but I think we should be looking at someone who can offer something different to Weimann and Russell.

The big difference though, is that Russell and Weimann are both strikers who have been forced to become wingers. McManaman is a wideman through and through, and the type of player that we could do with, especially with Lawrence on the other flank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 McManaman has some skill and technical ability from what I've seen, so that instantly sets him apart from Russell and Weimann. At Wednesday they play a very flat 442 so that might be one reason he didn't hit it off there, here McManaman would have more of a licence and freedom to do his thing. I think for what, £2m(?) I think he'd be worth a gamble. Lawrence LW - Vydra CAM - McManaman RW would be decent in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 Would be available at a decent price so wouldn't mind him here, but can't help but feel if the money's there, there are much better options out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It pushes out the likes of Weimann, Russell, Anya and even Butterfield to a certain extent in a 4231. Last year of his contract so it definitely fits the Derby criteria of: -Premier Experience -Potential Bargain in an over inflated market -Point to prove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I hope not, I simply don't rate him and I think we have better at the club already, I don't think I would be interested if he was on a free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We took a gamble for fairly low fees on Anya, Blackman and Weimann and none of those have made much of an impact since signing. Those 3 are probably on a combined 60k at the very least and we've got about less than 10 goals and assists between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted August 19, 2017 Share Posted August 19, 2017 I'd be happy with McManaman - proper winger. I already think that Anya is on the way, would assume if McManaman comes on then we'll get Bennett out on loan somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had this same conundrum. For £2 million you could potentially pick up one or two players from abroad. I can't see Gary taking a Razza-esque gamble. As I think he'd rather a player in their mid 20's with some form of experience or 'pedigree' at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still don't see a huge difference in what he can offer in comparison to Russell and Weimann. I was hoping we'd bring in someone who can create plenty of chances or who will score the goals from right wing that Ince did, not another winger who will work hard. If we trust McManaman to rediscover his form of 3+ years ago from his time at Wigan, I'd hope our fans would be patient enough to give Russell the chance to rediscover his form of 1-2 years ago.
