Gee SCREAMER !! Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 11 hours ago, Ambitious said: There is a lot of noise around Oxford that we have put an offer on the table, he's been shown around the training ground, but they've improved on our offer and hope to keep him around. I really hope he does. The new manager has a lot of belief in him and has put him in a system where he's producing again. I just don't like the fit here, nor do I think he's good enough to transcend a system that isn't ideal for him. In a similar fashion to Windass, I find both players to be technically good enough to play for Derby County, I'm not saying they're poor players, but I don't like the profile, inconsistency, and I don't believe they fit our 'go-to' system. If either of them do sign, though, there's a real chance they could be excellent for us. Who knew Ebou Adams, who wasn't getting a look in at Cardiff, was going to be the most important signing the club's made in god knows how many years. We have made an offer and he has been here. Kayden Jackson who was referred to earlier, is someone we've also made an offer to as are Iversen and Osborn. Vaulks was the other but he's gone elsewhere Sibley has 4 offers he's considering as well as Derby- two abroad, so Rotherham isn't an only option. Collins was offered one year but wants two. I can't see Derby would shift on a year. That's my own opinion though. Heard nowt about anyone else like Adams, Clark , Dembele, leonard etc but maybe someone else has or maybe hasn't gone past registering interest..

Black ('n' White) Sheep Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 As with last season, I'll only post my brief snippets of ITK stuff when people start losing their minds... 🤣 We've had one signing wrapped up for weeks and a couple more close... just because we haven't announced anything doesn't mean things aren't getting done... don't panic! 😊🐏 Caerphilly Ram, DCFC1388, Ram1988 and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kayden Jackson would be an extremely underwhelming signing. He should really drop a league and join Wrexham, etc. McMuffin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been a fan of winger/front players as they're normally pretty average at both. Perhaps we aren't in a position to look at better. If not, then players who are thinking about new deals whilst the market is starting to move need to be pushed a bit harder on decision to stay or free up the money.

Was used as a right winger all season for Ipswich and even started some big games like against Southampton. Good addition to the forward department on a free but shouldn’t be a starter and definitely won’t be the starting striker. DCFC1388 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why don't you list the age of the player that is wrapped up and then a random bit of info about the others that are close? For example, you can mention a position, a nationality, or a former club? Then we can align those when the signing come to fruition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or he could flourish. CKR had had his last good season something like 7 years before he came to us. It worked. Idem ditto Didzy. Idem ditto Collo. Whoever comes, past successes don't guarantee future ones. Etete was named in one post. I commented that a 1 in 6 striker is not what we need, especially if Collo gets a 2 year offer elsewhere when we have, apparently, offered just the one. I do realise that he might just flourish here. I view the chances as slim but I've been wrong before (CKR, Didzy, Ebou and Collo, amongst others) and, no doubt will be again, and I will, as ever, be ecstatic to have been proven wrong.
