Fans Forum 9/8/18, 7.30pm @ Showcase Intu

[Day]

SP - Loan players are different. Clubs come with players to see how players will be used, and visit other clubs too so our setup is incredibly important to convince parent clubs to let players come. FL - no guarantees to parent clubs that players will play but will develop them

Mind me asking, being a bit dim, but why is it so bad for the transfer to be leaked?

[Day]

FL - We sell #dcfc on how we will play to attract quality creative talent

Other clubs could catch wind of the situation = higher wages & transfer fee to 'convince' a player to come here.

MM - Last 12 month's we've stuck to our buns on how we will do business. We're now only approached by people bringing us players that fit our model.

[Day]

MM - intell on transfer targets is incredibly important to getting best value. Frank is a huge part of making #dcfc attractive

Judging by this summer that’s about everyone.

FL - All big signings but Marriott and Waghorn will bring goals. Frank Snr definitely been giving him advice "goals win games". Bawdy jokes about Waghorn being a big lad. #ladbantz

sticky buns not sausages

Gibbo is doing maths. Going down memory lane on a tangent. Might be about to talk Brexit with Frank

[Day]

FL - every player needs to know about Derby's history and what it means to Derby. Create your own history. ?

[Day]

FL - great to have Dirty Leeds up first, players know and feel the rivalry. They will be up for it. last week their fans created a big atmosphere. THATS WHAT WE NEED

[Day]

FL - wanted to bring energy and speed into the team. Some targets were identified very early, others were identified after discussing attributes and who might fit the team

[Day]

FL - came from WHU academy, want to make sure players see a pathway to the team. Want to balance getting them time with 1st team without putting too much expectation on. If a young player earns a spot in training, they will be involved.

Because, in this example, Villa lost out on Bryan at the last minute after Fulham hijacked their deal.

Malone could have been an ideal fall back option for Villa if they knew a deal was ongoing.

DW - early debut for Bennett wasn't good for him in the long term. Much better place now, come back in fantastic shape, outstanding application and looks very sharp. Frank did 1st yr scholar induction and is showing academy players they'll get a chance if they're good enough

[Day]

DW - seeing new players arrive shouldn't deter youngsters, it will happen throughout their careers, need to get used to it. They have a right of a fair chance. Lots of calls for elsnik and guy.

[Day]

Half time interval now.

Has a murmur gone around the Intu with the news that Blackman has gone??

[dcfcfan1]

Did anyone ask about how we are doing with FFP?
