CWC1983 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 13 hours ago, Tyler Durden said: What kind of players though? They'll have been released for a reason. Many of them won't even get clubs for obvious reasons never mind have to worry about lowering their wage demands. That's the skill of a recruitment team and manager. Pick up players that offer something more or different than you have at your club at the moment. Just because a player is released from Middlesbrough, Bolton or Sheff Wed doesn't mean he's not of use to Derby. There could be personal family reasons behind it, a falling out with the manager, not fitting into a style of play, or perhaps the player has sat tight and waited for his contract to expire before wanting to try somewhere else.

RoyMac5 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Stoke are in tricky financial waters, I wonder if we could get Gregory on a free to save them his wages? Edited May 29, 2021 by RoyMac5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Lee Gregory has joined Derby County after being around the fringes under Michael O'Neill. The 32-year-old striker also joined in 2019 on a three-year deal, despite some suggestions on the internet that he was out of contract at the end of this season. Stoke City loan players’ contract status as confusion cleared up on striker’s deal - Stoke-on-Trent Live (stokesentinel.co.uk) But I didn't realise he's 33 in August. Joined Stoke on a free from Millwall. In which case prefer another year loan deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Just watching the L2 play-off final. Sam Lavelle from Morecambe. Get him in. Very solid centre-back and good with the ball at his feet... rarely see that in L2. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GangwayD Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Some interesting names on this thread and it's what we'll need to be doing, although quite a few other clubs will be shopping in the bargain bucket. I did overhear in the pub couple of lads discussing names and some of those brought up I don't think we'd have a prayer of getting on wages I suspect we could offer. Danny Rose, Ahmed Elmohamdy, Robbie Brady we're three they wanted us to go for. None of these would be for me if I'm honest, even if we had money. Think it will all be last minute again and we'll go into the season under cooked - same as last year no doubt.

Taribo Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I think it’s going to be brutal watching all the other teams pickup cheap players. We won’t sign a single first team player for weeks - if at all as firstly we’re still under embargo until we’ve submitted the accounts, I imagine these take a while to be ‘signed-off’ and are possibly also pending on the punishment dished out for our accounts last time, and last of all until Mel hands over the keys to the Americans (if that ever comes to fruition).

Tight summer ahead boys Define cheap? Most of the players listed in here are players coming of the back of brilliant seasons in league 1 or 2 or free transfers released from premiership clubs. Take Jerry Yates at Blackpool as an example. Could have had him for a couple of 100k a year ago. Now, after last season, Blackpool will want big money, same for clarke harris. Cheap they ain't. As for some of the premier league's released lists. Wages, wages, wages. Not aimed at you at all mate,but have we learnt nothing as fans from our transfer dealings in the last 4 years or so? Buying players, often player of the season, at at the very height of their value, chucking big wages as previous prem players, signing for top wedge a lad who has scored a few in lower leagues. Seems some are content to make the same mistakes again and again. Let's take our time and get it right for once. Taribo and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hope that a) we do get a transfer kitty / no embargo and b) that things in the way currently get resolved in timely fashion, I'd hate to see us embargo'd/no new owners until a few days before window closes resulting in dross overpaid signings.
