Maybe it's just years of being a Derby fan, but it feels like we either smash the league first time, or we're here forever, with nothing in between those 2 options. And obviously the longer the uncertainty goes on, the more it tilts towards the later... Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollycutts1982 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 It is typical of any team at any level that gets relegated, the fan base think they’ll bounce straight back. That doesn’t usually turn out to be the case. Most of those are clubs that have stability and a squad to work with, we have neither. Looking on the flip side they often have players who don’t want to be there that they need to clear out and rebuild. We have no players to clear out so should we be able to assemble a decent team and they gel quickly we might be okay. There are a lot of ifs and buts in that though. I just want it sorting as we all do. Taribo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of right now, we have 30 players, 6 players who have been offered deals (and likely to stay with us), and expected to name at least 11 first year scholars for the U18s. I also expect the likes of Davies, Stearman, Forsyth, Ravel and Kazim to wait until we're in a position to keep them. Bardsley will wait around to do his pal a favour. We'll be looking at 7-10 real signings, mostly for the first team but a couple for the U23s too.

Any idiot can work that one out. As another poster commented, they may be asking for BAFO bids, trying to ensure that a selected bidder doesn't drop their bid down to an unacceptable level - they do, after all, have an obligation to get the best deal for creditors, which apparently not every idiot has got into their nuggets yet. And do you honestly think that any of the "bidders" left in the race has spent "millions" in fees, given what we know about the "bids" so far? I don't.

Out of our entire squad, he had the best minutes per goal ratio last season (a little bit ahead of Lawrence and Kazim, significantly better than Baldock and Plange) Crewton, r_wilcockson and RoyMac5 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need someone with a bit more presence to press defenders, receive the ball and hold it for long enough to bring other people in to the game. A poacher is only half of what we need a striker to be in that sort of system. duncanjwitham and David Graham Brown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eccles the ram Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 I still feel that MM will not sell to MA. Appleby's 'bid' will win through - eventually. Will be over the moon that we can at last look forward to having a club! Hurry up Q, accept the bid and then pi $$ off. Come on DCFC get these season tickets sorted out!
