IlsonDerby Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 4 hours ago, Ambitious said: Exeter didn't offer him a contract and he's not been playing regularly at the back end of the season. He's still only 22, honestly I'd be happy to have him based on what I've seen - even if it's a low cost viable alternative. Usually, at this level, you don't see too many technically sound players and he looked very comfortable. I can't get my head round Exeter not offering him terms, therefore no compensation, but they must have their reasons. If you consider Roberts did the role well and is a potential free transfer if Brighton don’t offer him big bucks then this lad could be an excellent deputy. norwichram and SKRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !!

The reaction from Villa fans alone would be dynamite. Stimac did it with Asanovic and Eranio with Baiano, so it happens. Both were a considerably higher standard of footballer in terms of their opinion holding weight admittedly SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram1988 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I also think Ben Osborne would be a good fit. Versatile player, at the age who knows what it will mean to wear black and white being a Derby lad. SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I’ve just had a look through Rotherham’s transfers between 2017/18 to 2022/23, as those were the summer windows that Warne had there. They consistently sign at least 6 or 7, sometimes more, each season. Of those 6 summer windows, a total of 4 players have been brought in who are over the age of 30. Warne clearly favours players in the 21-29 bracket, players who are in their prime. It’s exactly what we need and would freshen this squad up no end.

Ram@Lincoln Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 I'd be looking at Tom Hamer from Burton for one of the full back slots. Also a great usp with his mammoth long throw that's been such an effective weapon for Burton with countless goals directly/indirectly from them. 3 goals and 9 assists in 44 games in all competitions this season, will be 24 in October. Barnsley were on for him in January, fee circa 100-200k. He's now out of contract according to reports. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/barnsley-make-six-figure-offer-23-year-old-centre-back/ Carnero, Jubbs, Gerry Daly and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Versatile player, at the age who knows what it will mean to wear black and white being a Derby lad. Plus he's got a good engine on him. And he seems to have that little bit of needle about him, that we've been missing. I wouldn't mind us taking a look at Josh Harrop as well. Had a good couple of seasons at Preston before doing his ACL, good set pieces and is a bit of a dribbler. Still only 27 and I think his short term contract at Northampton is up...

Kernow Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 Sonny Bradley has announced he’s leaving Luton at the end of the season apparently. It’s a strange one, he’s been one of the Championship’s better CBS of recent years and they have a real chance of getting to the PL. I don’t for one second think we’d be able to get him here ahead of the other teams who will surely be interested, but he’d be some addition to our defence. 6’5, still ‘only’ 31, tons of experience throughout the league. Would be an excellent signing. Premier ram, Wsm-ram, Caerphilly Ram and 3 others 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only usually do birthday messages for current players and/or certain ex-players don’t they? You could obviously argue he’s a current player, but also that he’s not seeing as right now he isn’t going to play for us again. His contract is expiring and we probably want to keep him if we can, so it wouldn’t surprise me it was a hint. Caerphilly Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising as he’s been very good in both games against us. Really? From what I've seen of him that is surprising. Have they indicated why they think he will end up dropping a level?

I can't get my head round Exeter not offering him terms, therefore no compensation, but they must have their reasons. So I've been to about 10 exeter games this year, he's very much been in and out of the side Historic injury problems so Caldwell brought in dimitri mitchell who is light years ahead of him. Sparkes whilst great off the bench never really kicked on this season and was one of the only people seen sulking at times, clearly wants regular football which is fair enough. They have a big rebuild this year with Key, Brown, Collins, Sparkes, Blackman, Stanno, Chaulke, Harper all first teamers leaving so are essentially starting afresh He'd be a good rotation option to learn from Fozzy, Josh Key and Archie Collins would be fantastic players to kick on but general consensus is they'll end up at a lower end champ club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
