gfs1ram Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think all the Rowett haters will be in for a bumper season 2018-19. They will love it as I think next season will be very difficult for Derby and Rowett. I think there are about 12 members of the current squad who's contracts run out in 2019 and a further 4/5 that run to 2020 - so when we say the rebuild begins - how ?? How do you get rid of most of those ageing players who are on high salaries?? Some out on loans maybe but I don't see much change until the end of next year. If Mel is not investing then Vydra must be sold - he is probably our only saleable asset of note - to create some funds for fresh blood but changing the system/ style of football is going to be very difficult in the short term, hence a field day for the Rowett haters !! 2018-19 a difficult season I think.

dcfcfan1 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 The teams coming down arent great- and there will be no (hopefully) team buying the CC like Wolves did I think Boro will win the league next year (as I think they will back Pulis, who is a good manager) and then its anyones for that second spot WBA- Will do well if they keep Moore, but have lots of average players Stoke- Mass rebuilding, selling and buying, need a new manager ect, even if they end up doing well, theyll struggle for the first few months Swansea- garbage players apart from Mawson and Clucas, honestly nothing to be scared off Villa cant spend as much next year (assuming Fulham beat them in the finals), and lets be honest, the teams below us are nothing special. We are probably one of the few teams that dont rely on one player (I dont think we rely on Vydra as much as people think). Jerome can easily get 10-15 next year and I think Lawrence will have a much better second season (He definately has the talent, just needs the composure). If we can add one good striker and winger, we will be golden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralRam Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Every year we say it's a bloody rebuild. Maybe if we stuck by a manager for more than 12 months we might get to start tweaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just need a few tweaks, no need to tear down the shed and start again, We all know what ******* us, Winalls injury, russell leaving, and us not being able to get a winger or a striker to replace them (Jerome was awful when he first came) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam the Ram Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 I know Rowett likes his tight-knit squad, but the lack of depth hurt us this season, particularly in our bad run. It's all a bit of fun to throw ideas out on potential targets, so here's my shopping list for next season. Get some of these in please Gary GK - CB - Lindsay, Souttar, Odarabioyo (loan), Tuanzebe (loan), Flint, Bartley RWB - Tavernier, Byram, Yiadom, Aina (loan), Odubajo (out of contract) LWB - Brad Smith, Charlie Taylor, Antonee Robinson (loan), Max Clark (out of contract), Knudsen CM - Mount (loan), Windass, Kamara, Woods, Luongo, Saville, Honeyman RW/LW - Brandon Barker (loan), Marcus Maddison, Celina (loan), N'Koudou (loan), Marshall, McGeouch (out of contract) ST - Winall, Marriot, Abraham (loan), Woodburn (loan), Brewster (loan), Eisa, Wells, Abel Hernandez (out of contract) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can do our business early this time, we will have a good start whilst relegated teams take a dozen games or so for their new players to gel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritty Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Some thoughts from a few weeks ago (before we changed formation).

StockholmRam Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Sorry to throw a giant size spanner into this but didnt Mel Morris clearly state on RD a few weeks back that " there would be no spend in summer if we dont get promoted and THIS LOT will have to do the job"!!

Correct me if I'm wrong but he hasn't got in Shrewsbury's side since he's gone there.
