When you decide between the two, let us know.

The penny only just dropped this morning- I see what you did there. Very clever, made me chuckle.

Thanks to Scott129 and Ghost of Clough for teaching me how to quote multiple posts in a posting of my own.

It was rather a stretch, tbf.

Nice to see you put your new quoting skills to good use though 🙂

I don't think anyone else is needed unless Cashin moves.

We need someone on the left who can get a cross in.  Elder doesn't look very comfortable in the final third.

Sounds like no One will be coming in from todays presser

I agree Elder looks unable to cross but hopefully Fozzy can keep his place.

Elder got 9 assists from left back the last time he was at this level???

Think the actual quote was” a couple of irons in the fire unless something major happens” according to Leigh Curtis. 
That sounds like maybe two in unless someone (Cash ? ) gets sold. Guess we will know at just after 11pm tomorrow 😁

That's encouraging then.  My comment was based on the little time he has played for Derby.  He has looked reluctant to cross and when he has put the ball in it has been poor.  

Even if he turns out to be decent I don't think it would be a bad idea to have another option for the left though.   We've got better options down the right and look a bit lopsided.

Don’t think we’ve seen enough to judge tbh.  He had a disrupted preseason with injuries and has struggled to get into the team ahead of Fozzy. Think he’ll come good!

We also have Sibley as an option once he gets fit.

And there lies an issue with me. He divides opinion on this forum - some people being critical that he hasn’t kicked on and realised his potential, with others who do recognise his potential but are frustrated in how he has been treated. Ever since Rooney arrived, all Sibley has been given is a bit part role, more often than not out of position. He has needed a long run in his favoured position all this time, and never had it. Even when he gets to play his No. 10 role, and even if he plays well, he is either back on the bench next match, or sat up in the stands. His attitude doesn’t seem to be in question, given how he applied himself to playing left back, but when that position was sorted it was back to bits and bobs.

Now although he has been injured so far this season, what this transfer window has done is brought a bunch of players in who will all be in front of him when it comes to team selection time.

I fear he us going to be yet another Derby player with great potential that we are going to consign to the footballing wastelands, ever wondering what might gave been. He isn’t the first to be treated like this, not by a long way. What a waste!

Play him left wing back in a 3 at the back, was good there 😊

Yep. Not strong enough in possession to play as a ten. Needs space in front of him which is why he looked okay at LB.

I’m wondering if he’s one of those who struggles in front of a big crowd. 

He was more successful in lockdown.

Start January 2024 suggestion thread 

[Ghost of Clough]

With RB becoming a cursed position, I imagine we'll be trying to sign someone to help cover for the rest of the season, rotating with Smith.

Todd Kane would be my pick. He'll also help cover CM once Ward and Wilson are both fit.

Ryan Nyambe would be a versatile option, offering cover for all defensive positions. RCB (in a back 3) is were see him eventually. Would add a lot of pace to our backline. May be too expensive.

Maybe Nyambe is the mystery free agent
