Srg Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 32 minutes ago, jimtastic56 said: Forget that lot , we now know what Warne is aiming for . We should be talking to Callum O’Hare , on a free from Coventry . Luton want him , they have parachute money but come on ! 😂 at the very least he's going very top of this league, but likely trying for Premier League move.

nottingram Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 Actually makes sense that Exeter would want more for a player off us than Brentford because the chances of a sell on being activated were much higher at Brentford so less up front needed. Both because they were a selling club at the time and also developed players much better and were far more stable. That reason doesn’t really mean anything or make any sense.

Tisdale was the Exeter manager at the time , so I suppose you have to take what he says at face value but I agree at that time I’d say similar styles but we were better.

Unless something else in the back ground ? Speaking after his brace had helped the Bees to a 3-0 Championship win over the Rams at Griffin Park in August 2019, Watkins told DerbyshireLive he almost ended up at Pride Park during the 2017 January transfer window, when Steve McClaren was in his second spell as manager. Asked how close he came to joining the club, he said: "Yeah, really close - in the January transfer window. "Steve McClaren wanted to sign me, and I wanted to go there at the time. Then it kind of fell through - so it could have been a lot different! "I could have been a Derby player but I stayed at Exeter and things worked out for the better here at Brentford. It was just down to money, I think. "Exeter wanted a little bit more money at the time, and a loan back, because we were doing well and ended up getting to the (League Two) play-off final that year. It didn't work out, unfortunately, but I'm glad I came to Brentford." Reggie Greenwood, Rammy03 and jimtastic56 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abertawe_ram Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 To be fair Tisdale probably did the right thing for his career with that decision, since we were such a mess at the time. Who did have around the top end of our squad at that time; Bent, Ince, Nugent, Vydra, Russell, Blackman, Camara? We probably would have ended up sticking him out on the left wing and stalling his development. Brentford spanked us 4-0 that year as well I think didn't they? They were certainly the more sensibly run and organised club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

O’Hare is the flashy technical player, but you’d be hard pressed to find many who wouldn’t value Ben Sheaf more. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnoDCFC Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 We announced Ward and Vickers last year on the 20th June. I wouldn’t expect any signings until late June/early July. It would be nice to start off with a signing like Rodak who Warne knows very well. He’s been sat on the bench at Fulham for a couple of years now and will want first team football. I can see the majority of our signings will be frees and loan signings but it would be nice to see us splash the cash on some good attackers.

jimtastic56 Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 Swansea are said to be interested in Sam Gallagher from Blackburn. (Age 28) . Shouldn’t we be after a striker like that if we are going for Warne’s 3 year objective and not the 10 year one ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he scored in the game but my god the year we went down he was utter garbage against us, remember coming out and Blackburn fans slagging him off, maybe a one off night but a team nearly going down have let him go then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are not playing out from the back next season . We could do with a target man to set up a pure goal hanger like Langstaff. No way Notts County should be able to compete for players with DCFC .

Srg Posted June 7 Share Posted June 7 1 hour ago, oomarkwright said: I'm just thinking of transfer fee. Maybe over £500K They’d want about 4 times that at least. And he’ll be 28 this season and has never played above the level he’s at now. The type of striker he is is a bit of a throwback and doesn’t fit most teams. There’s a reason nobody has taken a punt despite all those goals over the past few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
