Callum Ball on loan? (3 Viewers)

Sutty · Jul 19, 2012

Bit of talk on a Derby forum that the Keogh deal includes us getting Callum Ball on loan for the season.

What would we make of that?

He's a big lad, did well when we played at their place last year. As with any striker we're ever linked with, his goalscoring record isn't great, but may score goals at a lower level?

Mexico70 · Jul 19, 2012

A big lad and pacey, in fact so quick there was a movie made about him - Callum Ball Run

Lord_Nampil · Jul 19, 2012

Working in Derby i know there fans really rate him, and probably would want to keep him so will see what happens i guess, he does fit the replacing Platt mold with a little bit of pace. Scored a good goal against us too at there place.

19 years old, view to sign, wouldn't surprise me if it's same as how much there buying keogh for :facepalm:

WeWillBeBack · Jul 19, 2012

Would be a welcomed signing, wouldn't read too much into his goalscoring record as most of his apps have probably been made off the bench.

smileycov · Jul 19, 2012

At least we have cover for Keogh, so 1 in 1 out is not bad if he is Striker.

mark82 · Jul 19, 2012

I'd take him. Can offer something different to what we already have. Him plus another striker, someone who has scored in this league like Beavon, and Jennings and we will have something close to a decent squad.

Decent finish.

Derby fans I know say this would be a quality loan for both parties. He's a fan favourite.

Cannon and Ball. The new Wally and Fergie.

junglej13 · Jul 19, 2012

Does the telegraph this morning imply this is a loan deal or a loan with a view to a permanent deal??

So he's in the shop window with us where he will either be shite and we're stuck with him or have had less benefit from the Keogh deal or he'll be a star and Derby will up the ante, have him back or sell him to the highest bidder in January. I know I'm turning more pessimistic by the day among all many peoples newfound optimism on here but I just don't trust these clowns and never will.

Telegraph says a long term loan with a view to a permanent transfer!!!! I would be over the moon with this signing. Young, big, strong, pacy

Il Pirata · Jul 19, 2012

He looks more like 32.

grego_gee · Jul 19, 2012

the Rams are looking to sign strikers themselves
"The Rams have said they will listen to offers for midfielder James Bailey this summer as he enters the final year of his contract so could he be the man in question?"

Could well be, might be why we are stalling on Jennings?? If this guy signs then maybe thorn won't be offering Jennings a contract

Ram os the day · Jul 19, 2012

Hey guys, derby fan here, if its true about ball coming to you on loan, don't worry about his scoring record, he has been coming off the bench for most of the games, i can say i can't see Derby wanting to sell him, as he is one for the future, so cannot see you getting him
permanent,

anyway with a bit of luck you will be back with us next season, unless we go up never going to happen.

Agreed..a loan maybe but no way you guys are going to sell him.

glamour76 · Jul 19, 2012

Well, it's not ball then, as it states with a view to a permanent transfer. Steve Davis anyone???

Nick · Jul 19, 2012

I don't mind Steve Davis, is he the one from Chesterfield who takes set pieces?

Not sure, I always mix him up with the rangers (soton now I think) player.

Hope so rather than the carrott top ex snooker champion from Romford.

Still cue a joke about potting the pink or br....................no sorry I will stop now!

Nick · Jul 19, 2012

Confirmed as Ball now http://www.ccfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10269~2854217,00.html

Bit misleading Johnnie 3 in 11 starts in the league - he also started 2 fa cup games and 12 sub appearances in the league.

CW6 · Jul 19, 2012

Sounds like a promising lad, hopefully there is something in place for us to sign him if he turns out any good!

sw88 · Jul 19, 2012

He's here! (well there).

stupot07 · Jul 19, 2012

The next striker we sign has got to be a goalscorer otherwise wave goodbye to a top 6 finish.

thechase · Jul 19, 2012

Scored the winner against us at Pride Park last season i beleive.

Good goal. Might shine at a lower level. Worth a go.

Glen · Jul 19, 2012

He has signed so we need one midfielder and a good one and we are set

skybluegod · Jul 19, 2012
