Would say similar to Yates, definitely a smaller forward. Might be good together but finding a way to play two strikers be tricky! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich3478 Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Lyndon dykes gone to Birmingham, surprised not one we looked at? Not a huge fan but is big and a target man that we require. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted August 28 Share Posted August 28 Firstly, I'm not sure Witcoop has ever broken a correct Derby story. Will is the twin brother of Michael, one a forward one a defender. He was the more fancied of the pair in their youth, but then he was ravaged by injuries and I expected him to stop playing, whereas Michael somehow even ended up with an England call up. Will is 31 now and hasn't pulled up any trees, but was always pretty skillful. I want us to buy a 24 or 25 year old from overseas who we can develop and make money on. Keane might be a little better than what we have, but is on a downward trajectory. Wouldn't be a signing to get excited about.

If not really struggling to be competitive at this level. if that’s the case, we probably should’ve spent the jwz money on a striker. Keepers far easier to find on a free.

Surely we must have much more than that considering what we've splashed out on Gouldmijn, Zetterström and Adams, with sell-on dosh also coming through and knowing we really needed this striker, and that strikers cost far more than those other positions. We must have a budget of 3-5 million for this. DE56Ram and Colour-blind 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He gives Nixon a run for his money when it comes to being vague and saying a lot without saying anything at all but he was the first to break the Ozoh to Derby story. Also broke Korey Smith to us a couple years back first, too IIRC. Carl Sagan and Derby4Me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought he was a CAM but you're probably right. Wouldn't say no in any case, but we seem to be having difficulties getting the last few over the line and PW's post-match prezzer did little to encourage me that was likely to change 😕 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, but my point was he’s a championship/international striker who has a presence up front. I’d take him over Michael smith who were constantly linked with though.

From the countless interviews of warne I genuinely believe he's too fussy and we have the funds there but he doesn't fancy the strikers available , half of which would probably be class , wouldn't surprise me if people from the club come to him with great targets and he says no SILVERFOXTHERAMSFAN, Reggie Greenwood and Carl Sagan 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting we're that badly run? I’m suggesting that it seems we thought we couldn’t get a decent striker but we could get a top class goalkeeper for the same amount of money. (Their thinking, not mine). You’re deluded if you think we have £3-5m to spend still. Comrade 86 and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
