Elwood P Dowd Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 I think PW and his team are the type that keep their cards very close to their chest. No news is simply that, no news, it’s neither good or bad. Caerphilly Ram, DiggerB, plymouthram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amberram Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 2 hours ago, MackworthRamIsGod said: My guess for this summer. It will soon come out that our number 1 striker target is Billy Sharp, some fans will be in uproar, others ok. Billy will take most of the summer to have a think, meanwhile Players like May and Clark-Harris will sign for rival teams. At the 11th hour Sharp will decide to sign for Barnsley and will go onto score 30 goals. We will go into August scratting around for a striker, before signing an 18 year old streak of p!ss on loan from Luton on transfer deadline day. In all honesty I have a feeling most of this will be true except for Luton. It'll be from someone even worse, like Tottenham. I was with you until you mentioned Barnsley, it would be Notts County without doubt. MackworthRamIsGod 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted June 12, 2023 Share Posted June 12, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, DiggerB said: The way some are posting on here and Twitter you’d think PW was actively talking the club and the plan down to anyone who’d listen! What I expect Warne will be doing, is being Warne. He's not going to be doing the big sell BS, giving it all this and all that about how good we're going to be next season, promising players that if they come here we'll be a shoe-in for glory in 11 months time. He'll be being honest, realistic, modest even; he'll talking to players about what he expects of them should they come here, what they should expect from him in return, all of that stuff. His approach will always be somewhat of a double-edged sword in that regard. Some players do just want to be sold the big dream and if it isn't presented that way not really feel the vibe, look elsewhere, others will appreciate the more honest approach and others will fall somewhere between. Some will pay absolutely no attention to whatever it was he just said and make a decision purely based on financial remuneration. I will say though, that Warne has already publicly played down our chances next season in a Radio Derby interview before the Sheff Weds game, saying that there are "no guarantees that we'll be any better next season" which is of course true, but do I want to hear that from the man who's going to be responsible for putting a team together with the aim of being just that? Not particularly, and I really hope that's not the vibe he's giving off to potential signings. I doubt it is, but that comment does (clearly) still play on my mind a bit whether it should or not.

Why the bloody hell turn down a contract at a club where your playing to sit on a bench somewhere else for 4 months with no contract at the end.

jimtastic56 Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Blackpool are in tier 3 with us next season . Jerry Yates got 14 goals for them last season. They have turned down £2.5 mill and want £4 mill. It doesn’t seem much after what we spent under Mel. However it proves again you have to stump up for decent strikers . Run of the mill midfielders and full backs are plentiful and usually free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run of the mill midfielders and full backs are plentiful and usually free. It’s rumoured Blackpool paid about £200k to sign him so looks like good business for them. I take your point that goalscorers CAN cost a premium, but not always the case. Colby Bishop cost Portsmouth a rumoured £500k, Conor Chaplin a rumoured £750k for Ipswich and we signed a 25 goal and a 12 goal striker for free last summer. Proven goalscorers under contract can cost money, players with potential can cost less, and there are players out there who have scored goals at this and other levels who are available for free or knock down fees allegedly (Alfie May). jimtastic56 and Carnero 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby all too often end up paying the premium for a player’s second or third transfer. About time we unearthed them originally, isn’t it?

That’s partly why the Lee Bonis link from a few weeks back has me intrigued, the new recruitment guy had a few hits with signings from Ireland so I wonder if it’s his suggestion.

Championship clubs hope to pick up these loans, League1 clubs need to be of a standing where the parent club feel good letting a prospect and getting game time down here in league1. PW has a task I don't envy, Daggers are being drawn as I post where PWs longevity at DCFC is under scrutiny, Sharp would be a good signing but after his rhetoric concerning DCFC/Fans would he really come here, There'll be other suiters I'll wager.
