Hughes was sold less than 6 months after he signed a new 3 and a half year deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BathRam72 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Some just can't let the past go. CM has had his time. He doesn't fit the mould and although scoring regularly now, hasn't really proved much over the last 4 or 5 years. I would be very disappointed if we went in for him (as much as I loved him in his heyday). Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Squad depth/players with potential wise, I went to watch Curzon Ashton v Southport on Boxing Day (yes, I know... I'm weird) and they had a couple of players that looked to have potential to make a step up... these being Devon Matthews (CB) and Stefan Mols (CM). Both in their early 20s.

Eoghan1884 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Leigh Curtis said earlier the Blackett-Taylor link won’t go away. Cant imagine he’d be too much as he’s in the last 6 months of his contract. He also could want to leave as it doesn’t look like Charlton will be gettin top 6 this season. I also noticed on instagram he seems to be friends with Kane Wilson and NML. Two guys who are enjoying their football this season at Derby. Hopefully they can sway him to come to the East Midlands if we are interested.

vonwright Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 3 hours ago, TINMANTED said: is edwards £6m better than cash,or do boro board have a harder negotiating method than the rams?we always seem to let our talent go for peanuts He might well be £6m better to be fair. Maybe not in terms of performances right now, but as an investment. I love Cashin but I don't think he'll end up a top-six PL regular. Don't know much about Edwards but if there's a chance he will then the future gap in value will be immense. Agree we've not been great at getting value over the years, but a lot of our best players haven't kicked on as we thought after they left the club. Maybe they weren't quite as undervalued as we thought. Andrew3000 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 4 minutes ago, Eoghan1884 said: 👀 You wouldn't think that Charlton are in a very strong position in this instance. He's 26 years old, so he can go for free at the end of the season and being 14 points off 7th place, they are very unlikely to make the play offs. However, Charlton seem to be throwing money around ATM, so might be able to keep him with a lucrative contract offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems he wants out, a lot of their fans reckon sell him as they won’t be near the playoffs this year. So who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve How Hard? Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 13 hours ago, TomTom92 said: It wouldn't mine either. But it is a bit tiring seeing the clamours for him return every window. Retirement would put a stop to that. Not necessarily, us Martinites would start a campaign to install him as our manager. 😉 Leicester Ram, Archied, TomTom92 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich84 Posted January 6 Share Posted January 6 On 31/12/2023 at 08:55, Caerphilly Ram said: Just having a nose on TwXtter and found a little “suggestion” post for Derby signings, one of the replies to that thread suggested Ronan Coughlan who’s available on a free having just about finished his deal with Waterford. Never heard of the bloke, but a quick Google shows he’s linked with Fleetwood having just scored 36 goals in 37 games this season as Waterford earned promotion from the Irish first division. Clearly a lower standard of league, but at 27 years old and on a free could he be worth signing as another option up top? Purely based on those numbers and knowing nothing else about him. Coughlan did become Charlie Adams 1st signing for Fleetwood on Wednesday..... so I assume he'll make an appearance against us today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I saw that. Hopefully he’s rubbish and my brief assessment of signing him purely based on his goal record in a farmer’s league proves nonsense. Last thing we need is a decent striker playing in a side trying to prove themselves to the new boss, we need to splatter these and get back on a winning run.

I'm somewhat apprehensive about today - I only see possible downsides. We should win. But of course I've thought that before.
