IlsonDerby Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 1 hour ago, mwram1973 said: He say's the figures being banded about are not true, just paper talk. He's asking for a fair price on a player that's in demand. I think our next bid will be accepted as he's told our people what he thinks is a reasonable fee and he won't budge, so no point going back if we wasn't going to pay up. Other clubs coming in now should hurry it up. We might have offered what they want but not in the structure they want it. Minimal upfront with lots tied to promotion etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin is sidelined until atleast the start of the season and Vydra is apparently "injured" all pre season too, probably being sold. We need a quality striker?

Rab a dab doo Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Most clubs now go down the 'undisclosed fee' route to hide the fact of how money they or may not have to spend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cosmic Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Jack Marriott: Peterborough striker wants Derby move, says chairman Peterborough chairman Darragh MacAnthony says Jack Marriott has had his "head turned" by Frank Lampard's Derby, but they must improve on the three bids they have submitted. Marriott, 23, scored 27 League One goals last season. "He's told me the figures that have been mentioned and it's life-changing compared to what he's on. Of course he wants to go," MacAnthony said. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44898330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more than one striker. He might look class in League 1 but the rest is conjecture. We've got into bidding competitions over players before - we've paid too much and it's 'cost us'. I'd hope that we had changed our transfer tactics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
