TomTom92 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Regarding posh. Derbys best tactic would be to plant a spy on posh’s scouring network just so we can gazump them on all these small fry’s that end up being class. jimtastic56 and Eoghan1884 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abu Derby Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Due to the proximity of housing around Moor Farm and I’m wondering if Big Trav lives in one of those and is a voyeur with binoculars and telescope. If I lived there I’d be peeping out from the curtains at every opportunity and then producing a daily report and publishing it on here. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be interested to see how much the Patel family are prepared to invest in the club. A quick internet search seems to suggest their net worth may not be that much more than the Clowes family.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 1 hour ago, MarsdenRam said: Arter is free. 3 and a half years since he's played, with a promotion bonus, increase in wage on promotion and a one year extension trigger. Makes Anya look like a steal. Are we still paying for Nick Blackman to take his mates on a bus tour round Europe though on 22 k a week, or have we knocked that one on the head.

Kernow Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 hour ago, Big Trav said: As others have said Daniel Iverson is a target, believe it’s similar to CBT deal of a loan to a free I wonder why we’d do that now? It made sense with CBT because of the allocated transfer pot vs loan pot with the restrictions. But if we are going to, for example, pay £300k to loan DI then sign him for free next year, why not pay £300k to buy him now? We have 5 available loan slots in a match day squad, it wouldn’t make sense just to use one up in that way. Carl Sagan and jimtastic56 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of teams do these things now all through the leagues, especially at premier league level. Not always for end of contract, but quite often loan with buy at the end. Presumably it must help with PSR somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not 100% sure on how the rules work alongside restrictions, whether we’d have the same limits with or without restrictions, but only able to spend a certain amount of it etc? Surely kicking the can down the road in terms of fees will just go towards our total in the next 3 year period when we could spend more if we chose to.

I'm guessing it might be something to do with spreading costs/wages over a loan and permanent transfer, somehow that must help. Pure guesswork though.

Makes a lot of sense to me: Option 1) spend a fee now and have less money to spend on other players Option 2) loan him for a year and get him on a free the following season. No doubt the loan costs will be a lot less than any potential permanent fee, and you'd think a contract would get pre-agreed for him to sign the following summer, so no chance of him heading off to another club instead. It's not as flashy but it sounds like good business to me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Srg Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 minute ago, BuckoBeast said: Is Iverson any good Well he played for Warne before on loan at Rotherham. Since then, on his Leicester debut he saved 3 penalties in a shootout. He won Preston's player of the year season before last, then played 18 games for Stoke on loan since January. Good age at 26. Can't say I've seen him personally though. BuckoBeast and Topram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as flashy but it sounds like good business to me! I guess it would make some sense to Leicester in that they’re guaranteed some kind of fee rather than lose him for nothing next year, but that kind of deal sounds like something that would happen later in the window. There were apparently a host of clubs who met Johansson’s release clause, you’d think that Iversen may be a logical choice if those clubs are still after a keeper. If it makes more financial sense, then sure, but Warne has said we will be looking at PL loans. If Iversen comes in on loan, permanent next summer, we can have 4 more at most. We might not even fill those slots, but I would’ve thought spending a little more on Iversen as a permanent now and keeping the loan slot may make more sense in terms of building the depth we’ll need for the season.
