Ambitious Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Fair play to Coventry - looks like they're going to be splashing the cash if they're in for Bird and Sibley. Who have they sold to be spending £15m+ plus on players though, doesn't seem in their usual character? Carl Sagan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammy03 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I've said this before but we shouldn't sell our best young players, especially to bang average championship clubs, unless a stupid offer comes in (it won't) which we have to take. I expect Bird to stay and be a key part of the Derby County rebuild. Ram1988 and Asanovic70 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure we’ve got some good players now and are feeling a bit optimistic, but let’s wait 6-10 games before declaring ourselves kings and levels above. The size of our stadium and fanbase won’t be worth much for 90 mins if the team starts poorly. I want to be optimistic, while also not being arrogant! Not sure Bris was being arrogant. Just giving an opinion. As for famous last words he didn’t suggest in any way that he was declaring ourselves kings and levels above or that the size of our stadium and fan base was worth a lot. Bit presumptuous to suggest so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

therealhantsram Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 I can see Knight and Bird going. While we are picking up a bunch of 30-something frees, we desperately need some 23-26 year olds to balance the squad. £10m for the pair would finance a 4-5 purchases of promising lower league players.

DCFC1388 Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Bird has 2 years left on his deal so we're in a much stronger position to get a decent fee for him than we for Knight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted July 11, 2022 Share Posted July 11, 2022 Hate to say I told you all but… It’s no surprise to be fair. Bird has properly established himself as a reliable Championship player now, which I’m sure any team at that level would love to have in their squad. Explains why we’ve been linked with Stephens in addition to signing McDonald. If we loan Bielik out and lose Bird, then we’ll need to bring in two CDMs to replace them (Bielik in the short term).

Didn’t realise you had, it’s pretty obvious to anyone that the likes of Bird, Sibley and Knight will have other clubs trying to buy them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m taking the piss because someone took the piss out of me when he was named on the team sheet on Saturday. Hopefully he doesn’t go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only have to look at League One last season to see it was a league divided into two. Plenty of established bigger clubs followed the bottom half which are clubs who have floated between League One and Two. Unless there is a heavy points deduction or unique circumstances (like what happened at Bolton), then we simply can’t end up near the bottom. If we do then we will have simply drastically underperformed. No club of our size should struggle in this league. Even Ipswich haven’t struggled despite missing out on the top six they’ve been nowhere near the bottom end. I’m not saying we are set to walk the league or should be guaranteed top six. I’m saying we should be guaranteed to not struggle or threaten relegation. jono and BramcoteRam84 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only way we would be in a relegation scrap is had we started next season in admin playing kids or -15 point deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
