EraniosSocks Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 It’s refreshing to see a Derby Management team at a game like this looking at raw talent. In other notes, I did like that Ola Aina that was on loan from Chelsea to Hull last season, can play RB and LB, just missed out on the Nigeria squad.

Ambitious Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Jay Dasilva is the obvious choice. We need a left back, absolutely no doubt about that. Olsson can't play for us next season, nor do I think we'll offer him a new deal. Forsyth has shown at times he's not completely incapable of getting to the level that he was, but I wouldn't trust him as a first choice going into next season. Lowe is obviously talented, but he in hindsight he perhaps should have ensured he joined a team where his position wasn't in doubt. Dasilva, in comparison, went to Charlton and won POTY. The only concern I would have is that he's very small. In all honesty, there is no shortage in players we could have been looking at regardless of position. I'd also look to take a chance on Kieran Dowell. He's got a lot of ability. Karanka really, really took him backwards towards the end of the season, though.

S8TY Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 How refreshing though to see Frank and Jody at the tournament watching players....This is something I can't remember Rowett ever doing, I like the fact they're going to back there own judgment by the looks of it rather than relying on our quality scouting department!!!....This partnership already looks very promising, definitely doing there homework....fantastic to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Dasilva is really promising and would be a great fit to solve our long running lb problem (I've never rated Forsyth, and can't remember the last time I genuinely felt comfortable with who we had at lb). I also suspect that with Lamps and Jody, it might be possible to get him on a cheap permanent as, as good as he is, I'm not convinced Chelsea will view him as a priority.

Sexydadbod Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Good point @MK-Ram about potentially getting Da Silva on the cheap. It’s unlikely he will ever be a starter for Chelsea and they currently have Alonso, Emerson and Baba ahead of him. Leicester bought a number of Man Utd youth players on the cheap a few years ago-De Laet, Matty James, Drinkwater, Lawrence and made huge profit. It’s definitely an area to exploit as if it doesn’t go well, a team is unlikely to lose much but if they do well,mega profit can be made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did nothing to really shine in the U21s last night - Lowe would easily be as good. Just cos he's at Chelsea youth doesn't mean he's any good.

Dimmu Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Has someone regularly seen Da Silva play? I watched the playoff games and at those, he didn't look like an improvement to what we have now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rate Lowe but we shouldn’t be relying on him to be our starting lefty back as he’s injury prone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beckles wasn't the main left back, he was a centre-half stand-in and I think Lowe did play, says 12 appearances on Wiki. Still no reason to get over-excited about DaSilva. All 5' 7" of him! Lol.

Luis Van Gaal also assembled a team out of young players at AZ Alkmaar and they didnt do too badly But youth is a great area to get an eventual return in money, but only if they play!

I didn't mind Fozzy in the Mac 1 phase. But other than that you'd probably have to go back as far as Chris Powell for a quality Derby LB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fast, attacking footballer with a decent cross on him, but quite short and, at times, not physical enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not knowing Lampard's favoured formation, this is purely speculation - but if we play with wing backs and a back 3, physicality becomes less important in that position.
