Gone Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Just now, Chris_Martin said: So you would be ok with Davies, Forsyth, Jagielka as our CB's ??? Anyone with even the slightest bit of pace will run rings round them. Also, can't expect any of them to play 40 odd games a season. Davies coming back from a long term injury and also getting on a bit now, Jagielka is an old man, and Forsyth very injury prone. What’s the alternative? Wisdom and a unknown loanee from Man U who could make the 1st team when we finished 4th from bottom last season? We need goals, we have 1 forward whom I wouldn’t expect to play 40 games or be consistently hitting the back of the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mengi would add some much needed pace to the back line. Think he could turn into a real good player, remember his MOTM game v Barnsley last season. Baldock as the other ST, then Morrison for some creativity in the no.10 position. DCFC1388 and DCFC Kicks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We could have Menghi sorted for the season, starting 18th August, rather than till the new year starting this week. Who in their right mind would have an agreement with Mel Morris in place? Blokes reputation is through the floor and he's seen to be financially flawed so can't see anybody ever agreeing to anything like that with Derby whilst he's the owner Derby blood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jourdan Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Personally I’d be going back to the drawing board and seeing who else is out there. The last thing we should be doing is rushing into signings after minimal due diligence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I am not a manager, don’t know how fit Curtis is. ? But he is a brick wall and proper club captain. Worried about Morrison but we need creativity so he’s in. Wizz is in because he isn’t old yet. We know what he can and can’t do do and he is flexible Jagielka .. that’s a yes from me I liked Aluko on Sunday. Think Wayne would like Menghi ackkkk I can’t answer honestly this because I don’t really know enough about the possibles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, we are in a difficult situation and the first league game is 2.5 weeks away but losing our heads and signing the first five players we take on trial simply because they are in the building is hardly going to resolve anything.

The last thing we should be doing is rushing into signings after minimal due diligence. Literally the only possible rationale for allowing Rooney to continue is his links to Manu. If he can't pull some strings and bring in the cream of that academy then he needs sacking off. Otherwise abandon that list, get rid of Rooney, shove poor old Wassall into the dugout and see what's what. What does McClaren do? If he's still here sack him too. And Rosenior and the other one. Keep that tall one with the crazy curly hair and big glasses I like him. But otherwise get back to bare bones and start again. If we get relegated then we get relegated. Probably worth finding a couple of centre halves from somewhere though. Wassall'll sort it. What was the question?

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 6 hours ago, Kernow said: With the news we may be initially allowed to sign 5 players on a free or loan for 12 and 6 months respectively, who do you go for out of the players we know we are interested in. The free agents training and playing for the club must have some kind of assurances that we hope to sign them, but we can’t have them all. Focus needs to be put towards the areas we need most. Players like Wisdom and Mengi have an edge as they cover areas where we are very short, and play more than one position. Wingers and striker wise, we are a bit better stocked but there isn’t exactly any depth. So you have to pick 5 of the following to join immediately, who are they? C. Davies A. Wisdom P. Jagielka R. Stearman T. Mengi S. Aluko R. Morrison S. Baldock I imagine the combined age of that lot must be about 230 years and that includes a 19 yr old. Based on that I'll take the youngest 4 and add this fella for firepower. Can't be any worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
