We can all see he's got potential, someone else will sign him for cheap then punt him on to a Champ club for 3-5m in a couple of years. Yep. Maybe this time we have learned our lessons. Lets hope so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 25 minutes ago, Gerry Daly said: His obvious physicality is what impresses me. He's obviously at least 6' tall but is strong, quick and two footed. Get in quick Derby before someone like Peterborough or Brentford do Just watched the video properly and he does look strong and clearly has some ability. Be interesting to know how much they want. Also, would Warne want him and Smith? I don't know near enough to hazard a guess at which of the two would be best suited to our immediate needs, but I'd assume it'd be either / or not both?

Carl Sagan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 I would have loved us to go for Dan Kemp and Jake Young after their great Swindon partnership this season, but sadly Kemp is now impossible having also played for MK Dons since his recall. Feel he's the better player, but the interesting thing is Bradford recalled Kemp but haven't played him, so the intention is obviously to sell. I would be happy to make a move for Young if he's not yet out of our price range. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 6 hours ago, Gerry Daly said: Yep. Maybe this time we have learned our lessons. Lets hope so To be fair I can recall us bringing loads of youngsters McDonald Koblenz, Calero etc for minimal fees. None did a deal. a 200k or 100k here and thre isn't money well spent on potential when it's took weeks bartering over 100 k for their number 1 target. When they have more cash to spend OK. At the minute a 200 k gamble in this league equates to a 2 million gamble in the funds we seem to have at our disposal in real terms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 He was bombed out of Bradford at the start of the year for not being good enough, went on loan to Swindon where he scored a lot of goals (through purple patches, it must be said, as he went on goalless runs too) now back at Bradford and not really in their plans. They’re obviously hoping to cash in on him on the back of his loan spell and don’t hold him in high regard. Buyer beware, would be my advice.

Gee had already been at the club for almost a year by then, scoring regularly for the reserves and making his first team debut at the end of the 85/86 promotion season.

Maybe that 'other' striker was Trevor Christie? My recollection was that Cox signed Lillis intending to pair him with Bobby Davison. You may be right that we already had Gee on the books but all I was doing was drawing a comparison from history because the issue was whether we should sign both Smith and Young, so an experienced player and a young one to develop. As we know Lillis was intended to play but got injured so Gee took his place and played a big part in us getting promoted. So I think if we can we should sign both, particularly as Smith would probably be a loan Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had about 5 sitters missed whilst Steve Davies looked a level above. It was either nerves or he couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo. Appears it was the cow scenario.

Carl Sagan Posted January 20 Share Posted January 20 From the local paper: https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportlatest/24063171.derby-charlton-aware-bantams-fee-jake-young/ It says we've been following the striker and "are considering whether to table an offer after being made aware of the club’s evaluation of the 22-year-old." And that they've rejected three bids so far, and are not happy about Simmo's comments after Carlisle failed to land him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
