loyalRam Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 If Derby do get promoted this season,most likely through the play-offs, who do you think in our current squad would be able to cope with premier league football and be comfortable,playing within it. Also how many players would Clough have to sign and which position to keep Derby up. How much money on transfers do you think Clough will be given. IMO we would need a new LB, backup RB, a creative midfielder, a RM and possibly 1 or maybe 2 new strikers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 GSE would probably give Clough 1-1,5 million and talk about mid table. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I would hope for a little more than that, if we did, but that figure wouldn't surprise me. I think we've got some capable players already, but would need a new LB, a right winger, a centre mid and a striker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 We spent more than 1.5 mill this summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorksopRam Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think it'd be closer to £5m myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalRam Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 I think it'd be closer to £5m myself. yeah that is the figure I had in mind, but I dont think it would be enough to keep us up IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
networker1884 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 [size=4]yeah that is the figure I had in mind, but I dont think it would be enough to keep us up IMO [/size] [size=4]Depends who ya buy. Demba Ba was a free. Patrick Viera was a free (City). Stoke signed Woodgate and Upson on free's. Villa let go Pires and Reo-Coker at the start of the season. Also don't forget M.Owen and O.Hargreaves, both free. Aswell as when Birmingham got relegated they let go Bowyer, Larsson, McFadden...even if these people aren't at their best, most could (and are) play for Prem teams.[/size] The list goes on: Saha, Beckford, Phillips, Carew, Gera, Kamara, Pantsil, Harewood...doesn't totally depend on money. One or two good freebies (Hargreaves,Demba Ba) and it could save the team from relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalRam Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 Who in our squad do you think could make the step up to the premier league? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyram Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Barker for starters loyal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyalRam Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I think tha Fielding, Barker, Shackell,Brayford, Bailey and Ward but Im not to sure that any of the rest of the team would be able to cope such as Steve Davies as Im not totally convinced he could do it in the Prem.

trooper Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 I'd say fielding and barker, that's it!! Rest of them ..... Nada Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 It's a very young team still developing, if we were to bring in 3-4 players into that starting 11 in key positions of real quality we have players who will up their game, premiership is no great shakes some teams have masses of players in their squad with undoubted quality and others don't. As pointed to before, teams go up and as long as they have the right attitude and make a few shrewd signings here and there, they do alright. Premiership players have come down here and looked awful, and players that i thought were average in this league have stepped into the premiership... if we get promoted then we have proved we are good enough for promotion, if we don't, we aren't.

Duracell Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Don't see why people think Barker would be good in the Premier League? All his qualities are only very much use at this level. I think he'd look as bad as anyone against a striker with skill and pace. He's never covered himself in glory against Billy Sharp or players like that. For me, Ward, Fielding, Shackell (maybe), Bryson, Brayford, Hendrick, Bailey and Ball all have the potential. It's stupid for any fan of any team at this level to think they don't have players that could do it in the league above, as players at clubs like Norwich prove time and time again. We're as ready as we were last time to go up, if a little more. We have more than one ageing striker on our books and half the team can only get better looking at their age.

Ambitious Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Last time we went up in our promotion game 2 of the first 11 retired and about 3-4 more were on their last legs... completely different side to last time, as in 8-10 years 80% of our side will still be playing football!

Laney1983 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 we'd need at least 11 signings for the prem! Fielding would be ok, Barker maybe... Nobody else though. Thats not being negative but the step up is huge. I love ward but i dont think hes premiership quality. End product is huge in prem and he isnt consistant enough for me in that department. Oh! Sorry! I do also think brayford could make the step up and will, wether it be with us (hopefully), or someone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Here lies the problem, if we did gain promotion, it would be gained on sheer effort and desire to better one self by the players. Do we then bring in players just here for the money, or keep buying young players and hope they can swim in the prem and not sink. It ain't going to be easy.

Ambitious Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Varney made the step up, but deemed not good enough for our team, therefore every player in our team could step up...

If that was our tactic, I can't imagine many teams that would like to come to pride park.. maybe Brighton?

davenportram Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Ambitious, how exactly did Varney make the step up? He scored a few early on and then got dropped after their manager gobbed off about how good he was and were getting him on the cheap. Now playing for bottom half championship team .
