roosram Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 He’s a good player. We need good players. Warne obviously rates him. He’s on a free. I understand the risk but I would take the gamble. derbydaz22, Jram, Premier ram and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaianoPOTY98 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 1 hour ago, Gaspode said: I seem to remember someone from the club saying that the rams medical team had managed to get to the bottom of the long term issues that he’d been suffering with - if that’s true then the season ending injury may just have been a case of us being desperate for a striker and rushing him back and him being over keen to show what he could do. He may not be quite such a risk if he can get a ‘Warne’ full preseason under his belt…. Good point, but for me hes still too bigger risk because of his past record over the last few seasons.

Reggie Greenwood Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 We all know how this works , DCFC sign him plays a couple of games scores , does well then gets injured and hardly plays again. Another team signs him , stays fit , scores loads of goals , gets sold for 50 Mill and plays for England CBRammette, derbydaz22, admira and 2 others 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magicman Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 No thanks he is injury prone and spends too long on the floor when playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Still torn on this. I've probably seen too many players come with expectations and then spend their Derby life on the treatment table, so gambling on a player with a history of injury seems a bit of anathema to me. But. 23 still has years to develop, including physically. Offers an option, when fit, that could trouble Championship defenses, plus we need players. If the deal is right then yes, with forwards so expensive and us needing several then it could be a good deal if we can get one a little cheaper.

Rample Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 1 year deal, nothing lost really. There's definitely a championship player there if we can get and keep him fit. All I would say is be aware of his injury record and make sure that is factored in, he can't be recruited as first choice striker. I'd want 2 more strikers in aswell to ensdure we don't get caught short again. Premier ram and Wignall12 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anag Ram Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 He strikes me as a player who would desperately love to repay Derby for their belief in him. If, and only if, he can prove his fitness in pre season I would see a short term deal being worth the gamble.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 A year contract, with the club able to trigger a 2nd year. Someone could get one hell of a player, even if he is used for 6 months as an impact sub. Wignall12 and Ram-a-lama fa fa fa 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram1988 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 I agree with the sentiments of offering him a years contract to prove his fitness. He seems like a good lad who has the raw talent to do well in the championship. If stays fit he would be a fantastic addition to the sqaud.

None of us have a crystal ball to tell the future. Yes, we know that he is an injury risk based on his history, but there is also the chance that he could get some important goals for us.

RadioactiveWaste Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I'm coming round a bit on low wage/good bonus deal, goals are a precious commodity and as long as we can cover our risk sufficiently. Not one I'd be kept awake at night if we didn't do though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
