Derby blood Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 We need to get some centre backs in, Davis and Jags are a must, then hope to see Morrison or Carroll, rhen another forward but not Balldock, also woukd like to see Mengi back on loan, woukd give us pace at the back, the clock is ticking, hope to see a centre back by monday at the lastest.

Would you play the established players tomorrow or not ! Nope, I'd stick with the trialists and then slot in a couple of our 'CBs' if we're nowhere for the first game. But I reckon we will be at least a CB in by then! ? Curtains and Derby blood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooney needs to start wising up and making contingency for the worst possible scenario so playing trialists that we may not even be able to sign come start of the season is utterly ridiculous. If he's been fed BS by the club that these players will be signing then that's another matter. Either way looks pretty grim. Prepare for the worst now Rooney then anything else is a bonus. kash_a_ram_a_ding_dong, Carl Sagan and Curtains 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Oh my dizzy days. What a time to be alive. I can’t wait to tell the Grandchildren that I was there when the Club worked tooth and nail to get Curtis’s contract renewal over the line.

Could just as easily be the EFL moving goalposts rather than the club giving Rooney duff information. Agree with sentiment of your post but I'll probably be 'happier' seeing trialists playing tomorrow as it'd be inconceivable Rooney would still be playing them 6 days out from the season without cast iron guarantees they will be able to be signed in time. If Cashin/Solomon start alongside Forsyth, it probably confirms there's still a lot of work to do on that front.

I think you may be a little too trusting in either what Rooney has been told or indeed Rooney himself. None of the information given to us by the club or him in the past six months ago has really come to pass. I'd pretty much guarantee that we won't be starting any of the trialists for Huddersfield,it's all just taking too long to become a reality in time for the game.

Ghost of Clough Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I'm expecting Davies and Forsyth to start tomorrow. Jagielka and Stearman/Cashin to come on for the final 20-30. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we been told anything by the club (or Rooney) in the last 6 months? Its been a black hole & all we've got is educated guesswork in terms of the embargo. Rooney isnt stupid & given the time constraints, will know how likely it is he will have to play youth CBs v Huddersfield. Therefore to feel confident about playing trialists tomorrow, you think he would insist on written assurances from the EFL (via the club). If that isnt forthcoming, then like @Tyler Durden says, we need to be starting our contracted players only & am sure thats exactly what Rooney would do.

Eatonram Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I assume non of the trialists are currently being paid at all. If the current cap is 4.5k per week, offer them a rolling one week contract on this figure till it is sorted. They of course can walk away if get a better offer, but we could play them if they sign on that basis. They have nothing to lose, we have nothing to lose and they still get net pay of 12k at the end of the month instead of Zero.

Give them a one month contract on £4.5k and uplift once we've sorted our poo out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
