LincsRam Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 We finished 4th from bottom, claims to resign Waghorn, Gregory etc are ludicrous, our team at present is pants and we need a major overhaul. Lets not get emotionally involved in players who have ultimately failed over the season, by one good game at the end of it.

Igorwasking Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I want Adam Armstrong up front. Mengi and Edmondson will be ok for centre backs. Assume Byrne and Buchanan will stay - but Marshall will go - so a new keeper needed. Assuming Bielik is fit - I would like a creative midfielder - someone like Maddison (Leicester) but more affordable. I then would have a fully fit Ibe and another creative wide player - any chance of Harry Wilson?! Oldben and DCFC1388 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Hughes Hair Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I’d be tempted to try and get three or four in from League One to bring a bit of depth to the squad. It would act as a bit of a refresh and works with various budgets (if we do have a few bob there’s still room for marquee signings). I’m going to ignore anyone in a promoted side (Dembele and Lewis-Potter would have been go to signings otherwise). Top of the list is Conor McGrandles if Lincoln don’t go up. 6’1” CM, leader and potential captain. Boosts options and could fill the Bielik gap. With Pompey not going up I’d be on the phone tomorrow for Jack Whatmough (Matt Clarke’s slightly better looking twin). 6’3” CB who wins everything in the air. While on the phone I’d also be asking after Roman Curtis. Goals, height and pace. Could play anywhere across a front three. What’s not to like? Up front, it might be worth sending @DarkFruitsRam7back to the Accrington Fan Zone and seeing if he can smuggle Dion Charles back to Pride Park. 19 goals in mid table team. Electric pace. If Blackpool don’t go up Jerry Yates fulfils a similar remit. DarkFruitsRam7, Carnero, DCFC1388 and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramboy63 Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Love to get Adam Armstrong from Blackburn buts thats not going to happen Mentioned a few times to go and get Barry Bannan always looks to play a forward pass its immaterial whether he as signed a new contract thats just so Weds can ask more money for him,a 2 year deal still playing in the Championship should do it and always liked Joss Windass also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikechi Anya being the ultimate lesson. So for that reason Clucas and Barkley wouldn’t be on my shopping list. Wyke is a question of playing style. He’s a monster in the air and could see Byrne getting 20 assists next season. But (and this is my view and I suspect not Wayne’s) I’d rather we had a mobile front line with multiple threats. I’d rather keep CKR as our foremost battering ram when we need to play it but recruit pace, mobility and goals across a revamped front line.

Goalkeepers: George Long (hull) or Craig MacGillivray (portsmouth), Chris maxwell (blackpool) Defenders: de wijs (hull), Tendayi Darikwa (wigan) Midfield: George Honeyman (hull), Jorge Grant (lincoln), Marcus Harness (portsmouth), Aiden McGeady (Sunderland), Strikers: Clarke-Harris (Peterborough), Wyke (Sunderland), Yates (Blackpool) Honestly none of those would improve the team. Sign League one players that's where you end up. We need to be smarter and more creative with our recruitment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angieram Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I also have a worry about signing players who have been good elsewhere for a long time. Barry Bannan is 31 years old, his best days are probably behind him, we would be his last gig. This goes right back into the category of signings people are saying we should avoid.

Carnero Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Purely based on EFL on Quest highlights over recent months but a couple of young flare players who've caught my eye are Carlos Mendes Gomes (Morcambe) & Scott Twine (Swindon) Comrade 86, Will Hughes Hair and Premier ram 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Will all depend on what budget the new manager will have. That will depend on who ends up owning the club. angieram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to be smarter and more creative with our recruitment I'm just thinking of the best players Derby might sign. Its not just do we have new owners who have money ... 1. Do we have a team to interest the best players, based on this season prospective championship talent might be receiving advice from agents that the teams in a mess 2. Unknown what the size of the budget is, don't want older Premier league or championship rejects, would rather buy rising stars 3. The rising stars are likely to be cheaper than the top stars in the championship at present. 4. Derbys a bigger club in my mind than the clubs I've suggested buying players from 5. Accused of only selecting players from the clubs being promoted from league one this season, true but I did so purely on the basis that at league one level, Derby need to sign star players and not the average league one player 6. I've not looked at Europe because there's less guarantee that the quality of player needed would want to play for Derby or would cope with the rigours of the championship 7. There are so many players Derby need to bring in to strengthen the team. Its not a matter of saying if we just had 3 new players that would be enough. In my mind due to players performances this year and contracts ending, I believe Derby almost need a team of new players. 8. Derby are in the unenviable position of having to say no matter the fee the club needs to buy but again that limits the number of players the club could sign even with new owners bringing the money 9. Efl rules will probably limit how much can spend on putting a new team together 10. Rooney doesn't seem to get the best out of players. So the players already need to be talented to play for a manager like him Will Hughes Hair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RYRAM Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 this all depends on the new owner. if it us our Eric then will he bye the 20mill striker he thinks we need?.Will HE buy the players he as listed that would struggle to get work permits (worrying) all will he that others run the recruitment side..
