chezzyram Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 I can't understand why Callum Ball is the new messiah just because he is no longer here. I like Callum Ball and think he may develop into a good player but if we went into the season with Ball as our main striker the knives would still be out cos he's ' too young / inexperienced/ not good enough '. There is still time for a new striker to come in and if Davies goes I'm sure one will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShermanCardenas Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Davenport its tongue in cheek. We've never replaced the likes of Hulse or Howard. Thatys what I'm getting at. We need a target man we aint Spain. We need an outlet. exactly what i was saying the other day, and was shot down because 'we wouldn't have let ball go' Ball isn't up to it yet, he may be ready next year but at the moment we need a proper striker.

ShermanCardenas Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 every team needs an out ball, and in the championship ,especially, using a target man who can bring it down and work others into play is vital, unless the defence can play it out from the back. we haven't had a proper target man since stevie howard. although S.Davies went through a patch of doing well in that role.

ramesses Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 In answer to your question - we'll sign a striker when we find one we want. I'm not sure we'll wait to sell Davies. We didn't wait to offload before we bought Jacobs, and spent more on Keogh than we made from the sale of Shackell, so it doesn't seem to be a 'one in, one out' policy at the moment. The board know they'll get a decent price for Davies, I reckon they might gamble if they can land someone before they move him on. I thought we sold Maguire before we bought Jacobs. It’s possible we spent more on Keogh than Shackell. Clough did thank the owners for their help with bringing in Keogh and that did sound like they'd given him a bit of extra cash to make it happen. I'm sure TG would've let us know if this was genuine ‘extra investment’ so I’m expecting it will just come out of Clough's kitty for a new striker/LB cover. History doesn’t suggest they’ll do this (gamble) on a bigger scale with Savies. Last summer everything came to a complete grinding halt because we couldn’t offload players in time.

blackNwhites Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 They might be watching UAE, their number 15 looks like he might be decent, Omar Abdulrahman. Don't know if they're brother but their number 5 looks alright aswell, Amer Abdulrahman. Sound like characters from 'The Mummy'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideshowbob Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 They've said they're going to send scouts to the olympics, so we might be getting someone young from them (not Neymar!)

The [url=http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Derby-County-lining-scouting-missions-Olympics/story-16595845-detail/story.html#][size=1]tournament[/size] features 16 countries and kicks off today. There are four groups of four and Great Britain are in Group A along with Senegal, whom they play tonight at Old Trafford. United Arab Emirates and Uruguay make up the group. Brazil scored a comfortable victory over Great Britain in a warm-up match last week and they and Spain are favourites to win gold. Derby manager Nigel Clough confirmed that the Rams would be represented at some [url=http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Derby-County-lining-scouting-missions-Olympics/story-16595845-detail/story.html#][size=1]matches[/size]. "There is not much point in us watching Brazil, unfortunately," he smiled before adding: "We also know all the GB players, so there is not much point being at their matches either. "We have received tip-offs about a couple of players from other countries, so we feel there is a good reason to be at certain games, and we will have a presence there." Clough will probably scout the womens matches!! They will be cheaper and thats what counts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
