They have niggles already It's exactly the point. If we accept that Warne wants, and realises that we need a goalscorer, then it obviously means that at the moment we have been unable to get one that is better than we already have. I personally feel that getting a good one once the season has started is far better than getting a couple of average ones in July just so that we can integrate them.

Curtains Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 (edited) 6 minutes ago, Anag Ram said: Could you add the word Boy at the beginning of the thread name ? 😊👍 As many have said already, PW has said we need more options. I also remember he alluded to 4 or 5 before the training camp and a few afterwards. He strikes me as someone who likes to meet players F2F and so will pick things up upon his return. Some players may like the one to one option all the time others might not. Some players might not like Warnes tactics others will . Some players may not enjoy blasting around in the heat of Spain and some will End of the day it will be about results. I have my concerns others don’t . I hope Warne gets it right but lots of fans didn’t like Rowettball and some won’t like Warneball Edited July 14, 2023 by Curtains Added Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKRam Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Hope you’re not getting too anxious @Curtains there’ll be al sorts going on behind closed doors. Keep the faith. We are definitely looking better by the signing and I believe there’s a little surprise or two in store for us in the coming weeks up front. All is well in Camp Derby 🐏 Curtains, hintonsboots, AlvoRam! and 2 others 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Goalscorers attract the biggest fees and wages, at the moment their agents and clubs are demanding the highest numbers. Any club prepared to pay these figures can get the deal done now, however, most clubs including Derby don't want to or can't pay these figures. So it is a case of biding your time, until the demands fall into the window with which we can operate. It's a fine line though, jump in too early and you pay over the odds, leave it too late and someone else signs your target. We've seen what happens to the club when we jumped in too early and the knock on effect that it has. Say we go all in and sign a striker for a relatively big fee and wages, then the rest of the squad will be wanting bigger wages and we're back on Mell's rollercoaster again.

duncanjwitham Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Everybody says we need to spread the goals around more, not just have one player score them all. What people don't seem to be realising is that Conor Washington solves that problem in one fell swoop. We simply have the strikers score less goals, and then by definition we spread them around more. It's genius! 😉 norwichram, Curtains and ck- 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBRammette Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 So do you think from the thread title that PW will go "omg I forgot about a striker, thank goodness @Curtains reminded me." Rather than always seeing the most negative angle possible could it be that finalising Knight's position and getting the defence for perhaps less financial outlay than expected, that we are looking at finalising different targets now? Of course it would be good if new striker(s) were there for pre-season but on the basis PW's pre-season is for some "creating niggles", surely its better that they do miss it by that logic? hintonsboots, FlyBritishMidland, S6 boy and 3 others 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magicman Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Both Collins & Washington are 10 + a season scorers, we need a 20+ to replace McGoldrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warwick Ram Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Is Paul Warne an attacking coach / manager? I would argue that he is a pragmatic manager hence the reason he will play 3 - 5 - 2. I can’t see us being free scoring and dominating possession. I see us playing in the same way Billy Davies did. We will win games 1 - 0, score from set pieces etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jase116 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I would think he has 2 or 3 targets in mind, and is prepared to wait for the one he wants rather than sign the first player available 😉 MickD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May Contain Nuts Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 "a goalscorer Paul"? It's a long while since we could call on a Paul to get us some goals... Kitson, Peschisolido, Dickov, Goddard, o Wanchope. I think we may be a bit out of luck, the name's gone out of fashion and I'm not sure there are that many goalscoring Pauls about these days.
