Srg Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 5 minutes ago, StarterForTen said: Any contract can be signed in advance; it’s just it’s terms only come into effect on its activation date. Like buying a house. You SIGN and exchange contracts before the day you actually buy the house. CBT will have signed two contracts: one to cover his loan and one (probably dated July 1st) to cover his services once the loan expires. Playing contracts have to be lodged with the League, but only once they are active. And a player’s registration is different to their contract and will remain with the ‘owning’ club while the player is under contract terms, or is mutually agreed to be transferred. That’s not technically true. Traditionally, you can’t sign a pre-contract with another team from England in the January prior to the end of your contract in July. You could only do that with a team outside of England. Now, in this case, who knows how it’s been worked. Maybe because the loan has been agreed that that has too, somehow. Or, maybe it’s simply just been agreed that a permanent transfer happens just prior to the end of his contract and that value is £0. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBritishMidland Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Why can’t we all just be pleased we’ve signed a player for a fee, albeit a loan fee instead of analysing how it might or might be structured. Maybe it’s a legacy from mad Mel. We’re no longer run by someone who got a bit lucky in the IT world, we’re now run by, in my opinion, a sensible businessman. Lets just enjoy it as another step on the road to being run like a “normal” football club. swadieram, On the Ram Page, RamFan13 and 11 others 5 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 If we are letting Brown go on loan to Gateshead we must get a striker in as only leaves us with Collo and TJJ jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry Daly Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 12 hours ago, DavesaRam said: He did all right on Saturday, and he could affect the game in his Number 10 position if we used the midfield for more than just a vehicle to transport the ball out to the wing at the first opportunity. We slag Max Bird off for the same reason on this forum. I never slag Max off and can see he is a far better player than Sibley. This is something that a succession of Derby managers clearly agree with. But I agree with your other comments, if we played through midfield more often then anyone in a central 10 position could affect the game far more DavesaRam and sage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I understand it, the issue isn't so much with signing the pre-contract, it's with approaching the player in the first place. Tapping-up rules prevent you from speaking to a player from another club without their permission. At least until the proper process in May has been gone through and they become free agents anyway. In this case, Charlton are happy for us to speak to him and agree the pre-contract, so we have done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simmoram2024Ramsrontheup Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 From my source it’s estimated across both transfer pots is roughly £1m £300k from loan pot = £200k left £200k loan fee £500k transfer fee It’s expected that derby will either return with an improved loan fee for smith - Wednesday apparently want obligation to buy Derby aren’t interested in this as for alternatives Warne Is keen on a couple of prem loans.

ram59 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The agreement with Charlton is for a loan to the end of the season followed by a free transfer. The loan will finish after the play off final date and the free transfer will take place as soon as the transfer window opens middle of June. CBT will be contracted to Charlton to 30th June, so I don't see a problem. It's not as if we're waiting for him to become a free agent at the end of his current contract. Plenty of players are 'signed' by a new club before the window officially opens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say we bought Moxon for £400k that’s 100k left plus 200k in loans that potentially could be either 300k loan fee or £400 k for wages for a brilliant out of contract player emjem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a midfielder who can score goals and be creative and be very influential is the signing that would take us to another level This is where I'd be spending our money , I really don't like how teams seem to go straight through a non existent centre midfield at times but playing 3 rather than 2 in there would help a CM who could chip in with 8-10 goals a season would be brilliant Andrew3000 and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I might have a bit more grey hair than you, maybe not. Storey-Moore was a typical Brian Clough attempt to crash in on a transfer. Forest were never going to let him come to Derby. Your comment was "What if he changes his mind when his contract runs out with Charlton?" - raising doubts that he may not sign. No one, apart from the Club know what he has or hasn't signed, nor what fee/loan fee has been paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of CBT, it appears that the two clubs have reached an agreement for a Temporary Loan Transfer with a Loan Fee being paid by Derby, and DCFC and CBT have agreed a binding Contract to come into force after the expiry of the player's Charlton contract. Charlton must also have agreed to this for the EFL to ratify the loan transfer. It's no different to a "loan with agreement to buy" deal - everything done with the consent of all interested parties.

BuckoBeast Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Looks like we’ll be going back in for Smith then. Warne obviously rates him and he seemingly would like to move with not playing as regularly as he’d like to be at his age, and having played under Warne before 🦒. Maybe trying to force the issue a little with going public Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't sort our midfield it could be our downfall imo, we get overrun especially later in games. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
