Last year i was suggesting certain players from the SPL and my comments were rubbished, <players in the SPL not good enough for the championship, maybe league One standard at best> and now here we are 12 months later suggesting SPL players, unreal. One person's suggestion becomes proof of what exactly? Good players are found at all levels and if Brentford scout them we all get envious. Perhaps we do need a money ball strategy rather than one too conscious of our status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itll be the likes of Bournemouth and Norwich who will be signing players. The best we can do is free transfers and loans. Expect the big clubs to snap up talent and then loan them back out. Derbys turnover must have gone from circa 30 million to 8-10 million pro rata. No gate revenue, no commercial income on stadium, honestly the only income is sponsorship and TV revenue. So unless there is either cash left in the kitty from the sale, or MM puts his hands in his pocket, we are the same as everyone else, fighting for scraps. Any outside investment will also have gone dead as well right now. He’d have to be a contortionist unless he took his trousers off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Brentford they decided to scrap the academy and pour the money into scouting better players that could make the grade more immediately so there are pros and cons ...it would be fantastic to have both of course but at least we have a good academy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we need to do at DCFC is get scouting for some better scouts.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I'll admit I've only suggested this on the strength of his YouTube highlights... but that left foot would rival Wilson's! Could be a decent loan option if Celtic want to loan him out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
