When Derby went to the prem last time they shelled out 13 million in promotion bonus, including those who'd played about 3 games or been on loan elsewhere all season. After we'd cleared debt to the co-op of 20 million we had to pay on promotion as part of a guarantee on buying the club and paid back 2 directors -including Morris- who withdrew their loans early in panic, we had about a million quid left. We'd be a bit better of this time by a few million. europia and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As discussed on the forum a couple months ago, it's more likely that we sign some glamorous European players since we actually have a scout (Robin Krasniqi) who is based in Europe. Until last month he was based in Madrid and now he's based in Austria. We obviously wouldn't be employing someone in these regions if we weren't actively taking an interest in potential deals. Warne said in his Barnsley pressers that he admires Barnsley's European/Scandinavian recruitment, so he/Mark Thomas is obviously taking it seriously.

Ilkestonian Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I'm all for open and sensible discussion but blimey, Dryhorce is prattling on a bit isn't he and especially as he seems to know as little about Derby County and what we need as Tommy Docherty did (a Scottish link I'm sure he's not old or wise enough to know about). Anyway, my suggestion to stop his prattling is to lock this thread until we know what division we're going to be in next season as the players we'll be in the market for and who will want to come to us will depend on what division we're in - wotcha think mods?

Kieran McGechie. 7 goals in 24 and used to play for Civil Service Strollers who are quality. Could step straight in as he's a supreme athlete who'd find Warnes 5 training sessions a day followed by bleep test a doddle. Also likes a beer so will be a proper team player.

I'm 48 he was the Scotland manager when I was a kid pretty sure he was also at Manchester United What is exactly wrong talking about Scottish players? I don't understand what the issue is about signing players from up north? When we have had a history filled with such players when we were doing well It sounds as if there is a snobbery about Scottish football that don't quite understand especially now that Scotland is rising as a football nation again Pot 1 in the nations league over taking us SPFL is also a higher ranked league than Denmark Norway Sweden Finland Iceland Edited March 16 by Dryhorce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England won at hampden 3-1 a few months ago and the scoreline flattered Scotland. Nobody has a problem signing Scottish players we’ve had some great players in the past. We just don’t need to sign every Scottish player that’s ever laced up a pair of boots FlyBritishMidland, Caerphilly Ram, Tamworthram and 2 others 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem here is, you're getting close to 50 suggestions on 50 different posts, followed up by "Scotty McScotface is playing tonight vs Bonnyrigg Rose. He's a quality player" for every suggestion. Some of your suggestions wouldn't even get into Carlisle's side, never mind one which will either be opening for romotion from L1, or looking to finish lower mid-table in the Championship. There's so many suggestions in a short space of time that people are bored of your suggestions and won't even bother looking them up to see if they are any good or not. They're now just going straight to the ignore list. My suggestion for you is to take your time and compile your own list maybe limit it to the best 2 players in each position where we have a gap in our squad for next season. Assume we'll be promoted if you want, or state if they'd be a L1 signing, a Champ signing, or a someone we should sign no matter which league we're in. Maybe explain why they're better than someone we already have, and maybe explain how they suit Warne's style.

Been impressed with what I've seen of him. Seems a decent blend of physical, hardworking, skillfull and smart. Would take him on a free if we got promoted to be honest 8Leeds 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
