Guest Posted August 8, 2021 Share Posted August 8, 2021 Ten times better than Te Wierik and fans were raving over him before seeing him kick a ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r_wilcockson Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 #dcfc are set to sign free agent Phil Jagielka on Tuesday. Jagielka will sign a short-term contract after leaving Sheffield United at the end of last season. Derby are also hopeful of signing Sam Baldock after Kazim-Richards injury, subject to EFL approval - Percy has spoken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Thank god for that. Before CKR got injured, I'd have said that Jagielka would have been the most important signing we could have made this season. 39 or not, he's going to make a real difference. Obviously now we also need a striker, whether Baldock is the answer or not I don't really know. However when the trialists we have are taking up offers at League 1 clubs instead, it's quite clear we're very far from being in a position where we can be picky. Edit: And when I say could've made, I mean realistically from the players we've had on trial, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBB Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 I can get behind a back 3 of davies, stearman and jagielka. Combined age must be over 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Jagielka was the one we had I trial that I liked the most. He's a very good competitor and despite getting on in his years, I feel he can definitely still provide a good option at this level. He's someone, who regardless of our situation, I wouldn't mind at the club to help keep the younger players focused. It also allows us to rotate our centre backs to keep them as fresh as possible. Mengi would still be a nice addition, but a striker is definitely more pressing. Baldock, I'm not convinced, but in all honesty we've not got much of a choice and I said the same (in fact much worse) about CKR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just a completely different type of striker, isn't he. Almost exactly opposite to CKR really. I assume whatever our plan is for the season, was largely focused around CKR leading the line mostly. That's going to have to change if we're going with Baldock for nearly every game.

No point signing Baldock, when we've got kids who can play that role at half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with Baldock is I'm not convinced he really solves anything. His goal record is poor, his legs aren't what they used to be and I feel like Stretton can play that role whilst being more clinical. Personally I'd rather play Stretton over him and frankly Lawrence as a false 9. However if CKR is basically going to be out for a huge amount of time and we really don't think we can get literally anybody else then needs must I suppose purely for numbers.

See whilst I'm against his signing... I actually think the plan was to set up this season with Baldock leading the line based on pre-season. Tactically we've gone into this season with at least partly an idea to try whatever we can to get the most out of Lawrence and it's very possible Rooney figured it would suit Lawrence better to have somebody stretch the space out in front of him/someone to run in behind when Lawrence drops deep.

I know where you are coming from Rev But Stretton has , what, one or maybe two starts in the league ? Which other kids are there ? Any with any league experience ? Its a big ask relying wholly on untried kids. We are where we are, having to make do and mend. Not been impressed with Baldock in pre season but he's been around the block and what other realistic options are there before deadline day ? He could come good against the overall consensus just like Colin did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
