I put that list together based on a couple of factors ....

1. Free agent strikers in the summer

2. Potential free agents so zero transfer fee

3. Under 30 years old because in my opinion, if we are promoted, having players 32 years and older in the Championship will not be good enough.

4. Of the calibre required in the championship

5.  We will have several strikers who's contracts I definitely wouldn't renew in the Sumner, so we will need new strikers.

6. The strikers needs to have scored at least 7 goals in a season

 

Mbappe fits your criteria.

Should have signed him when we had the chance.

Well the top 7 there are all out of contract, and we maybe re-sign Loach as a coach but that's about it. With restrictions eased and a new league, we would be fishing in a different pond and will need a lot of players. But let's worry about that if and when we need to.

Wouldn't we be restricted to replace with championship level under 30 year old players costs a lot.

We have 10+ players who are out of contract in the summer that could need replacing.

Just wondering strong the team might be if we are promoted. Warnes got form on relegating teams

Let's get promoted, then worry about it.

I feel like the core of the back 5/6 is there if we do make it, plus a couple of the front lads. CoYR

Which club was he Head Coach at for those 2 relegations? Might those relegations have more to do with the club than the Head Coach?

Where were they when he jumped ship to come to Derby, where did they end up and what is going to happen to them at the end of this season?

There's an old adage that you can't make a silk purse from a sow's ear. Might the Miller's pending relegation and their plummet for the verge of the playoffs to near relegation last season point to it being the club more than the trainer who is responsible?

Ché Adams, Aaron Connolly, Kelechi Iheanacho, Kayden Jackson and Tyrese Campbell are all free agents in the summer.

Which ones would you choose to replace our old strike force in the summer, who are also free agents and the list includes Connor Washington and martyn waghorn. 

 

Blimey, we’ve already got Tyreece J-J, and Tyrese Fornah, I can’t cope with another

When he was only on a paltry £100k a week .😅

Klopp is out of work in summer, no wait, has form with being relegated, scratch that.

Im concerned that if we dont keep most our players on that we'll have the same issue as this season where our team has taken all season to try and gel and play together. Also id like to think we could actually get some money for players for a change... but that aint the derby way 🤣
