Don’t know who they are but I choose to believe they’re done deals Fingers crossed. Sonny Bradley would be a fantastic addition and it will be interesting to see if Rodrigues can do it at League One.

I always take with a pinch of salt until a more “reputable” source comes through with the info (typically the local press to Derby or Jon Percy etc) and things are pretty much done. However, this thread is the summer rumour mill and is definitely the place for wild speculation and optimistic predictions when it comes to signings. For what it’s worth I think they’d both be sensible additions on free transfers, one is a solid cb with plenty of experience through the leagues, the other is a young-ish (26) player who’s scored and assisted for fun at a lower level for a couple of years and could make the step up with relatively low risk to the club if the contract was sensible.

I think he is be worth using making Posh a offer now he is transfer listed. We could, but my guess woulld be we would need to spend everything we have for him and it still probably will not be enough to meet the over inflated prices from Posh. We could buy a number of good signings with the money we would spend on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maydrakin Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 I remember seeing Clarke-Harris play us for Rotherham and thinking he looked a really good prospect, and played very well against us. He then seemed to just tread water for a few years and be in and out of the teams he was playing for. He seems to have put it together in the last couple of seasons though.

Yeah I’m really embracing the excitement. Tbh, I prefer the wheeler dealer nature of our trading these days over the 2015 Mel era where you knew we would be blowing millions. It feels a lot more exciting knowing it’s low risk but you might find an Ebiowei or a Mcgoldrick and all the signings can’t really fail to meet expectations as there are none. When we were signing Johnson et al, they were doomed from the start. I’d say in hindsight Johnson was a decent player for us but I always thought he was gash because of the price tag whiteroseram, Ramarena, Andicis and 6 others 7 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Daly Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Johnson started really well with us then seemed to get worse. We had that way about us unfortunately, making players worse not better. Hopefully we are different now. We did the same with Butterfield, he had some ability but just looked miserable here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbydaz22 Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Speaking to a Notts fan and he said he didn’t think Rodriguez would be a starter for us and after watching him in the play off final I thought he looked bang average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree we need multiple signings though and we can't blow the budget on one man. Woodley Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to break it to you B4 but Warne is not well enough regarded in wider footballing circles, nor is the pull of playing for Derby that strong, that a player being given the opportunity to play two leagues above (The Premier League if Everton stay up), or the chance to play for a Champions League qualifying club (Fenerbache), or even the chance to play for a potentially top 6 EFL Championship club (if Everton go down!) will sign for for Derby instead.

I’d assume any player from non league would be a developmental option, rather than an outright starter. He had a bad game in the final, but unfortunately we simply can’t be in the market for players who don’t have bad games. He’s had a few good seasons, technical ability doesn’t look to be a problem, perhaps he will need to step it up with regards to strength and conditioning. If he signs, we will find out but we need options all over the pitch and depth. If he can provide some depth and an option of the bench in tight games and not completely disappoint then he will have been half decent for a free signing from non-league. Anyone with any sort of expectations of him, however, need to temper them immediately because it’s not fair.

Simmoram2024Ramsrontheup Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 It’s about rotation. The problem we stuttered to the end of the season was burn out and the ability to rotate our team. GK - Wildsmith then I’d imagine we’d re-sign the other two maybe make loach a coach or something WB/RB - Clare on a free , knight maybe Harding CB - Cashin / Forsyth/ Bradley / Robertson or Harding possibly Roberts on a free too LWB - Forsyth/ Roberts possibly a younger loan player CM - Knight/ Hourihane/ Sibley / Bird + maybe a new midfielder if knight or sibley goes FWs/W - mcgolderick if he re-signs / Collins / Rodrigues/ another striker / Mendez Laing, Barkhuizen plus another winger maybe a loan I’d imagine depending on who we get rid of it will be CBS all on a free and RB on a free a LB on loan , maybe an extra midfielder on loan or for a small fee , a winger on loan , then two forwards one a free and another our biggest fee maybe Bonis or someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We fell down due to depth, that's what this signing would bring. Squad depth at an affordable price. That's what we need.
