Right age and very versatile, he can play in that Left Wing Back position or Centre Mid (both areas we need to strengthen). Wages might be a sticking point however... Looks like he'll be released by Sheffield Utd and he's definitely Championship standards. I know he's an ex Red Dog and I know he scored that winner against us but he's a Derby lad and that's got to count for something, right??? It's suggested that they will take up the 1 year option they have on him. If Hourihane is going, I'd take Norwood on a 1 year contract. We do need pace in the side but we also need passing to get a good balance. Dartmouth Ram and Premier ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 Jodi Jones from Notts. Crazy assists record, good age, surely wouldn't cost us millions, already local.. Surely must be on the list of targets Gabby'sThighs, JustOneBiblicalKazim and Boycie 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 I'd take Kamara from Norwich on loan if they go up, otherwise they'll probably use him somewhat next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 14 Share Posted May 14 48 minutes ago, Papahet said: Jodi Jones from Notts. Crazy assists record, good age, surely wouldn't cost us millions, already local.. Surely must be on the list of targets Only 70 games in 6 years at Coventry, then dropped to Oxford in 2022 and couldn't get a game, then dropped to League 2 where he's clearly done well. I think there will be limited funds, so we will need to be careful giving contracts to players after a decent 6 months or Blackman syndrome. Especially plying trade two leagues below. I still think loans from above in the striking option will be beneficial. Probably a loan or two with a fee for players who've got 15 goals in this league before with pace. That leaves money to add goals and technique in midfield and more freedom on wage and contract length Dan_Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which might make him raise his game? Decent shout. I'd also love to see Jamal Lascelles at Derby, as another fan (I believe), but he's rightly not going to give up another year on his contract at Newcastle.

TomTom92 Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Dylan Williams anyone? Not sure how his career has gone since moving to Chelsea. But looked a very good prospect when fleetingly used. McMuffin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wash highly regarded, but clearly isn't going to make the step up at Chelsea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like Sheff Utd have taken up the extension option on Osborn, along with Bogle and Norrington-Davies. He would've been a useful addition if he was unattached. As you've said, I can't see Lascelles giving up a good wage at Newcastle to drop down. He seems very highly thought of there for his influence even if he doesn't play all that much.

He had a decent season at Reading playing as the central striker. We bought him and played him on the left wing. We'll never know what might have happened if we'd played him up top. He's not the first central striker we've bought and then played out on the wing. Weimann was another... ... however, I sincerely hope we don't repeat that stupidity.

abertawe_ram Posted May 15 Share Posted May 15 Reckon a lot of championship teams will be looking at Ike Ugbo (my phone is desperately trying to change his name to IKEA for some reason) and I wonder if he's one we'll consider. Big, physical, hardworking striker that got a few goals to help keep Wednesday up. He is under contract at Troyes until 2026 though it seems and with a fair bit of interest his value might be on the up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a left-footed right winger, he'd offer some useful backup, 5 goals & 23 assists this season is pretty incredible, plus he's only 26. He'd be worth the gamble on a free but he's contracted until 2025. But it does feel traditional to have a former Notts County player in the squad...
