S8TY Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 Tomori got us out of trouble a lot last season with his incredible pace ...sometimes to rectify his own mistake ...I thought Tomori was good enough for us to either try and sign permanently or another season on loan ...the latter being very possible as I can’t see him being first team at Chelsea ...Skirtl is a good player but for me a pacey Cb is a must Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keogh or Davies ( or even both experimenting with another in a 3), would be far more solid with a younger, faster partner alongside; affords the option of playing a high line and pressing opposition, knowing a team mate has say half a chance of catching anyone that springs the offside trap.

Skrtel was top class in his prime and is probably still too good for the Championship, but I don’t think he fits the profile of the kind of defender we need. Too old, too expensive, too high profile. I need new glasses,thought you were being very nasty for a second!?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Sounds like this one could be legit then and we might have opened talks with him. Didn’t believe the link at first by that sports witness tends to report some decent regurgitated foreign reports. I reckon this one might just happen, what with cocus links to him and his obvious qualities as a player. That said, if Fenerbahçe are in talks with him as well, if they make a reasonable offer he may well choose to stay there at top flight level. Probably Hear more on this one at the end of this week if talks are still going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fotomac is a Turkish news site right? I'd be more inclined to think Fenerbache want rid of him and are briefing the local journos that there are 'loads of offers for him' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Isn't he out of contract though but could still be agent fuelled. Have a feeling there is some interest but wages likely to be the sticking point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 No thanks. i think this is exposing the lack of recruitment skills which is still the weakest area we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 I think it would be more Cocu bringing in a player he knows and trusts, not really an indictment on the club's recruitment skills. I'm sure the majority of incomings will be early 20's age range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EraniosSocks Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Really don’t want this player to come to Derby... wouldn't be against him if he wears a ram shirt (obviously) but signing a player who is towards the end of his career isn’t one I would like personally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we've lost alot of experience in the team this summer already, we may yet lose more: Nugent Cole Johnson Bryson (initially forgot him too ?) We could possibly see Hudds/Davies go yet too. An older experienced CB would be good as long as there's a younger one brought it to be his understudy and eventually take over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 Cole was short term in a position where we only had one other realistic contender. It was fortunate that we did sign him as spider monkey malone got himself sent off prior to the final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would prefer a Tomori type ideally but we do also need someone decent in the air (maybe Davies is the option but we'll see how he is post-injury) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
