Yes please 🙏🏻

Next post will be someone saying we have ‘no chance’ if mighty Hull of the Championship are involved

[Caerphilly Ram]

Interesting one if true. He’s 6 foot 5 so would be the physical presence we need as a cb in both boxes and has plenty of experience through the leagues, plus leadership. However he’s a Hull lad so if they’re in for him the appeal of moving home and still playing in the championship may suit him more than joining us in league one. 

EDIT: posted as @Gerry Daly did, not that Hull are mighty but he’s from Hull and he came through the youth ranks there.

Can't think of a better reason for him to want to come to us - most folk can't wait to get away from Hull....

[Dean (hick) Saunders]

It looks like they (Hull) released him early in his career. May count against them..

Fits the profile other than age.

Would he be guaranteed to play every week at Hull? I suspect he's been told he wouldn't be at Luton, hence the 'amicable' departure, so could guaranteed game time help swing things in our direction? I guess we wouldn't be favourites to land him as things stand, but this would be an excellent start to the new season's recruitment drive if he can be persuaded that Derby is the right fit for him. The only pause for thought for me would be over the health of his knee.

Last chance in his career to play for a big club. It's a no brainer for the lad! Welcome aboard Sonny.

Derby may have someone whispering in his ear he will know James Collins well from their days at Luton.

Well if he’s as good as Collins…

[Ram1988]

Would certainly add some much needed physicality and presence from set pieces.

[Ambitious]

As good of a signing he would be, I would think Hull being interested probably makes it difficult to us as he is originally from Hull and I imagine still has friends and family in that part of the world. He may still think he has something to prove there too after being released as a young player. 

He would be quite the coup for a League One club though.

Would it? He's only really played 3 proper seasons  in the Championship in his career (not including 2 appearances as a youngster at Hull), he's 31 and only managed 20 games this year.

[Curtains]

I think he would be very good for us. 

Alway liked the way he played for Luton  .

 

 

[Ram1988]

A no brainer to me. In the Peaks of his career (just about), a leader and someone who adds a physical and a aerial presence which I feel we lack.

[Anag Ram]

No player is safe when it comes to injuries.

Each club insists on a medical ahead of signing.

If he’s fit now, we should certainly look at him. We need a few nasty bigguns to support the clever littluns.

 

[CBRammette]

Like the look of him - when Luton players all ran straight to fans think he was the only one who went straight to the player who missed

[Sparkle]

He will be getting a promotion bonus then
