cant see it personally. Carson's departure announced last night coincided with Marshall at the Peterborough friendly. 

Would be a dramatic u-turn now.

Wonder if we’re under a soft embargo until the EFL charge is resolved.

Might explain the delay.

Well we haven’t posted any financial results yet have we which would probably put us in that scenario but that doesn’t mean we can’t sign players 

Isn’t there a ‘one out, one in’ rule with a soft embargo in any case?

Generally, but most clubs under an embargo have an inflated squad size. But with a senior squad size of just 18 (players aged over 21), I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't apply to us.

The other restrictions [that I can think of] are:

  • Wages - roughly £12k per week, OR 75% of the outgoing player
  • U21 players can be signed but not used in 1st team matches
  • Exceptions can be made with the EFL's permission

Of course a soft embargo is lifted once a club shows it will meet P&S requirements. Considering the cuts to the wage bill over the past couple of years we are already safe (excluding Covid impact) which by default means no soft transfer embargo.

Maybe he’s asked to go and speak to them to look at their offer, hence the delay 

maybe he’s already signed for us 

maybe he’s on his way to sign for them as we speak 

Footballs crazy, there have been plenty of stories over the years of players at a clubs training ground, medical done , even in that clubs training kit! about to sign a contract before jumping out of a window when a better last second offer comes in. 
 

it happens, wouldn’t surprise me at all if it happens to us, it is Derby after all

Club is having their photos taken today so wouldn't be surprised if the photographer is also doing David Marshall's signing photos and then we announce this afternoon.

That sounds pretty logical, nice one.
