r4derby Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 When we played Chelski in the cup, I thought he looked slow and struggled against Marriott and Mount running at him. He also wasn’t spectacular bringing the ball out from the back. Not sure he would be worth the wages, but his experience may be vital IF we get promoted.

bucktwo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 If we do get promoted If we do sign him We can only hope he is better than the last centre half we signed to shore up the defence after promotion . Step forward the wonder that was ... Claude Davies ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Wouldn't complain but if we end up winning on Monday the first person we should be signing is Tomori, closely followed by Mount on another season loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktwo Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 In my 44 years of watching the Rams . Claude gets in at least two of my select elevens. 1. Team of the biggest waste of money . 2. Team of the worst players I have seen in the shirt . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Can't see it. We play with a high line as we press high. Therefore we need CBs with pace. Cahill is slower than Keogh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I can understand Frank’s thinking here. We have a very young side with very little in the way of Premier League and top level experience and it is this kind of signing that can make a difference. Looking at the impact João Moutinho has had at Wolves this season with his leadership, experience, nous, and calmness under pressure, I am sure we will be looking at someone to play a similar role in our team. I am not sure it will be Cahill. He will want first team football and I suspect his wages will be too high, and what’s more I think we will move heaven and earth to sign Tomori if we go up. But as we signed Cole in January, it seems consistent with Frank’s thinking to add someone with mileage on the clock to be the dressing room leader and guide the players making the step up.

JohnHarkes Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 I think this would be a decent move, provided his wages aren't astronomical... and we're playing in the Premier League. He's only 33, which isn't really that old for a CB, and not getting in the Chelsea side, regardless of how poorly they've performed this year, hardly means he's passed it. He's also still getting picked for the England squad, and we're actually decent now! Obviously having Frank may persuade him to take a greater cut in wages than he'd consider elsewhere, and his Derbyshire links could play in our favour. You'd want to stick with Tomori, if we get him back, and Keogh purely for the fact that they've earned it. But the fact is we have no idea how either would handle the step up, so if either player struggles we'd need someone like Cahill. He could be our Paul McGrath, our Taribo West... our Alan Stubbs.

Style of play "Cahill is known for his technical ability, powerful heading in defence and attack, volleying, and good tackling.
