is ‘average height’ of a team a thing? Personally I’d like a keeper who’s well over 6’, a couple of CBs over 6’1, and a 6’2 centre forward who is not called Collins. I don’t care if the rest are Midgets like Messi or Maradona or Modric

Just missed out on another midget -Mac Allister has gone to Liverpool.

Not many rumours in here. So…

Chatting to my old mate with a shopping trolley and a talkative garden gnome last night.

Neither had seen a list but both had heard Tom Bloxham was on it. Leicester lad playing in a Steve Cotterell farmers XI at Shrewsbury. Tall, mobile and can play as a 9 or 10. Seen as a good foil for Alfie May and / or Sibbers. Needs to add goals to his game but Warne believes that is possible.

The only downside is he’s an ex public schoolboy like the much beloved Will Hughes, so local newsagents could be in for a hard time 😧

according to my random googling he needs to add goals and assists (0 of either) plus maybe a bit of bite (0 cards) in 33 appearances as a striker for shrews last season.

looks like it was mainly off the bench, didn't even total 1000 minutes.

watch out tomsdub you will get abused all day for daring to suggest things don't look rosey such is the way of this place

Or, just maybe not every single target we are going for is known to the press and fans? Had it even crossed your mind that Warne has multiple targets or do you think our target list was the three or four players that have been reported on?

This time last year how many of the players we signed were known targets and how many had we signed?

Quite a few teams in for Morgan Whittaker. Wonder if we have a sell on included in the deal that took him to Swansea

Doesn't sound very Derby. We probably added a clause to pay 50% of any sell on fee.

I just got this pic straight from Pride Park. As you can see, Pukki got his deal done already and Messi can't believe his luck to join League One! Double signing imminent! Is Sergio Ramos next?

We have 25% sell on clause in there I believe. Morgan waiting to see who new Swans manager is though

The best rumour yet - We are going to get 30 mins of football per match next season.The EFL will introduce the multi-ball system and stop players polishing balls for ages. Fitness levels will have to go up a notch.

Assuming that the administrators didn’t cash it in at a discounted price

‘Could be a free agent?’ with insight like that I’m expecting Pete O’Rourke to be banging on my front door later demanding a bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 😂

If he signs a new contract at Notts County before his current one runs out then strictly speaking he'll never have been classed as a free agent?

 

Not that that's going to happen.

So he could sign for Notts or one of five other clubs. Interesting but I’ll have to come back to it as there’s someone banging on the front door 🤣
