KBB Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Alfie Mawson and Michael Hector released by Fulham. 2 very good, tall, strong defenders there Probably too good for league 1 and will get plenty of offers at the champ level i should think. Both havent played much in a very strong Fulham side which is understandable. Chance to revive their careers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both these players careers seem to have stuttered, but with the right move and management they could be great acquisitions for someone although I make you right in that both will probably get offers at Championship Level and maybe too good for L1, plus wages would be a factor for us. If we had done the miracle and stayed up then arguably the type of players we should be in the mix for, but should they be overlooked I dare say Rooney could get there careers back on track. Think we will see quite a few players like these being released in the coming days. Lets hope we can get everything settled and start to negotiate. Cheers Gangway D from the terrace.

KBB Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I firmly believe that we will be able to get a half decent squad together of freebies. There will be a lot of talent and players with good cvs available, not just 35 year olds will have been released. Get this takeover sorted and start getting a list of targets finished. Midtable will be achievable and look to get the club onto sound footings. Crewton and DCFC1388 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwick Ram Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I also think Rooney will have a lot of pull with some players keen to work with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but they also will need to want to play in league 1 (3rd tier football) on massively restricted wages. There will be players out there who will agree to those circumstances, let's just hope we can get the takeover sorted so we are not feeding on scraps.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 We need to get Cox and Burley on the job. Only two managers in my time watching Derby who created good teams from magic beans. Anyone heard of Bisgaard, Idiakez and Rasiak before they got here. Rooney could do with some off their contacts. The scouting element is crucial at this point and an experienced scout / ex manager with good contacts could be Derbys best signing.

Still not quite sure how a bloke who captained Croatia came to a club 5th bottom of the first division . Stuff like that won't happen today. Obviously he knew Poom and Powell from his time at Portsmouth. A lot of the players who improved us midway in his tenure were recommendations of the players- Asanovic, Baiano etc. If we'd signed Baggio and Petit in 98 I think we'd have been pushing for the title. When the players who knew a player left we stated getting crap like Beck, Bragstaad and Schnoor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of Cloughs signings as more functional, bar Bryson and Martin who probably turned out better than expected. He did some underappreciated work granted re wage bill and squad size. He was also lucky to have Hughes and Hendrick to give the midfield some potency. McClaren did some good loan market moves to give the functional side some added gold dust and supply Martin. Shame Richard Dunne had a blinder at Wembley and the defence were comatose in the last minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 I think Clough would need to have built that 2013/14 team far more quickly to make the list. 66 signings over 5 years isn't so much making the team from magic beans, but spreading enough manure that something eventually would have to grow from it.

IIRC, we raised quite a bit of money that summer from selling the likes of Short, Pembridge and Kitson (though he may have gone earlier?), so it was more re-cycling than new investment from LP I think.
