Name the last player we signed for more than £2m that could be classed as a success and value for money is what I’m saying. I’d probably go with Vydra. I just don’t trust us to spend money wisely.

He said we’d got an absolute bargain. Says he’s a top performer and an even better bloke. Didn’t say what the fee was but reckoned it was a third of his value. Less than that. I’ve heard £200k.

Ramarena Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 He’s at a similar level to bogle and allows us to spend the Bogle/Lowe money in other areas of the team. Whats not to like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 8 minutes ago, Jourdan said: I am not talking about a permanent signing because we obviously can’t afford it. Jozwiak will be the big money signing. I expect the majority of our business moving forward to be loan signings, and one of those (for me) would be a midfielder. Bielik is still injured and could easily break down again or have another setback. Holmes’s luck with injuries follows a similar pattern. So I don’t see how these two (despite their talents) can be viewed as key players until they can prove they can stay fit on a consistent basis. And then finally Rooney and Shinnie should be squad players, dropping in when needed. It’s a possibility, I just think it’s unlikely given the fact it’s not been mentioned at any point as a position where we’ll add to. If injuries hit, it’s possible we shift system to 4-3-3, which Cocu apparently prefers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Famous last words but a midfield collective of Bird, Rooney/Bielik and Sibley will not stand up to scrutiny against the stronger sides in the division. Last season we picked up 18 points out of a possible 54 against sides that finished above us. If we want to improve on that, we can’t afford to neglect to strengthen such a vital area of the team and risk undoing all of the good work we have done so far.

Ramfambo Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 OK, so we have been woefully inept in defence at times with individual errors and lack of concentration/experience the key issue. We now have the goalkeeper and full back from a team that conceded 8 less goals in the league than us (rams 64 wigan 56). That would put them around 9th least goals against out of 24 teams. Throw in big Mike, wizzy, fozzy and Matt Clarke and we look instantly stronger. We also scored 62 which put us well in the top ten. If we can cut the goals against and somehow keep up the scoring rate we race up the league. Might be relying on one nils but a solid looking back line on paper I think with a guy who assisted 8 goals just added. Looks great business so far defensively to me. Very forensic additions.

Perhaps I’ll look silly and he’ll come back, coast through 30+ games and inspire us, but for me I would bring in another player just so he can come back without that burden.

Derby blood Posted September 10, 2020 Share Posted September 10, 2020 Very happy with this signing A very good right back at this level, defence now sorted. Hope a winger and forward come in soon, then we should be looking at top 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure that we have attackers in mind but they are always the hardest to find and buy Exactly. We conceded 64 goals last season...if we can shave 15 off that we'll be top 6 for sure. All successful teams have a strong defence. A very good signing & really like that he's played with Marshall recently too..should reduce that 'settling in' phase. Comes across well in his interview too. Good work Derby ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
