inter politics Posted January 31 Author Share Posted January 31 Sounds like this one has been in the pipeline for a while but we probably wanted to keep the interest low-key to avoid any rivals becoming interested angieram, DiggerB, nogbad van 50 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walkley Ram Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Love this. It's a direct reaction to a real weakness in our side. Let's hope he does well. Square peg in an empty hole. Good job Derby. Andrew3000, Premier ram, Zag zig and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BPV Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Willing to see what he can do, but sounds like more of another puts a shift in midfielder as opposed to a technical player. Our midfield issues aren’t going to be resolved by running around more… That said, if he comes in we change the system allowing the likes of Bird and Hourihane to do the better bits of football I can’t see why he won’t improve us. 11 games played in 2 seasons is obviously pretty concerning, even if his injury was a freak one. His last full season was 2 years ago at league 2, which again is concerning. Not trying to pile on and be overly negative, but from a realistic standpoint this doesn’t strike me as a player we’ve scouted for a while and he’s a massive gamble both ability and fitness wise. Hopefully he adds a bit of something in the middle, and at minimum he’s another body in for the run in to cover injuries.

We simply don't have the budget to shop for players who come without a level of risk. Wilson was also a sick note, but he's been one of the stand out players this season. norwichram, Premier ram, jono and 6 others 1 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turk Thrust Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Though born in Greenwich, his folks are Gambian. Worked in Banjul a lot. Football mad. Hope he does really well.

jono Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Welcome Ebou. Sounds good, decent aura from an instinct point of view. Glad he’s got a buddy in Wilson. If he has fire like Kane then all to the good. My happy clappy self thinks this could be a very good signing. Happy enough with Bird OR Hourihan but the two together don’t cut it. Is Ebou the key and will Warne rotate ? Edited January 31 by jono angieram, norwichram, InstaRam and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ram-Alf Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 I liked the interview he comes across as a confident person and happy to be here...no slouching in the chair 😁, Gonna admit...I've never heard of him...so here's to a good signing 👍 nogbad van 50, Derby4Me and Reggie Greenwood 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is Ebou the key and will Warne rotate ? Be happy with both being allowed to get forward if they have cover behind them. Hourihane further up the pitch playing to his strengths?

Wilson was also a sick note, but he's been one of the stand out players this season. Wilson and Adams were team mates at Forest Green the season they got promoted to league one. Both played 40+ games and got championship moves in the following summer. I hope he can be another Wilson for us.
