Ambitious Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 I’ve always been a huge fan of Hourihane, since his Barnsley days. However, he looked massively off it last season at Sheff Utd and lost his place in the team by the end of the season. He played just 11 minutes between the playoff games. Not sure this would’ve been the smartest move, especially as the wages would be significant for a League One side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Tup Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 What a difficult job The management have got attracting players. Who’s going to want to play alongside a group of kids. The first signing needs to be a statement to attract others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Train at some of the best facilities in English football, easily the best in league one. Play in front of 20k fans at home at one of the best stadiums in the league. Play with young players from one of the best academy’s in the country. I’d say even in our current state we’re pretty attractive.

Barkhuizen was announced between him writing the story and publishing the story. If he does have his leak within Derby, once again, then I would say there is a very good chance he is going to be a Derby player. hintonsboots, deanoakaram4life, AshfieldRam and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably too good for League 1 and also a set piece specialist. Could be the difference between promotion and a mid table finish. w8sey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loughborough Ram Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 Hourihane would be a major signing in our position. I work with a Forest fan and even he said that Hourihane is way too good for League 1. Fingers crossed that this happens but even if not it looks like we will be competitive next season if the first few signings are anything to go by.

We should be OK, just as long as we stock up on Werther's Originals and install a few beds in the changing room. The rate we're going the lads won't need a half time team talk they'll need an afternoon nap! Ramzabac 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
