To repeat myself:

Burst onto the scene with 4 goals in his first 2 starts but 3 goals in 65 games since and couldn’t get in their team last year, wouldn’t be opposed for a small fee

They seem to put out the exact same stories as Pete O’Rouke (former sky journalist) at the exact same time. Not sure if it his website.

If true, would be interesting to see what figure it would take for Derby to accept. They turned down a bid of just shy of £500k in January from Millwall.

We're screaming out for centre halves and a left wing back

Seemingly that’s for people to pull names out of their arse.

Probably taking advantage of the situation at Derby. If he comes and does well and then a big bid comes in for O’Hare we’re better covered.

Just hoping (if we get him/are after him) that this isn't a precursor to one of O'Hare/Hamer leaving. That said, if e.g. Hamer was off, then it would be good to get a body over the line beforehand. If we got him, that would be Sibley, Kelly, Sheaf, Allen, Hamer, O'Hare, Eccles, Palmer fighting for 4 places (assuming we play the box) That excludes Howley and Dabo (who may have to give up his midfield aspirations) Joking aside, that seems a bit overloaded in that area ?

We dont have a pot to piss in apparently so why get a midfielder in if one isnt leaving?

I think it more than likely signals someone is off.

Didn't SBB say we were after a couple of fringe players for the squad? Would have thought this would be one of them

Despite what the oracle Platty says, he's highly rated, if we signed him it wouldn't be as a fringe player

We aren't going to be tabling six figure bids for fringe players.

But he also said it was likely to be a couple of younger players from lower leagues. I think we would invest 6 figure fees to attract good young players from those leagues. What you pay on a transfer sum you will save in wages with those players

Surly the bid would have to be seven figures? Young highly rated player with 2 years on his contract left. Already has championship experience, and has represented England at various youth levels. If we could get him for under 1mil, I think that would be great business.

Be patient, defenders are on their way.
But that doesnt preclude us strengthening other areas when the opportunity arises.

Tyler walker was only 6 figures after a cracking league 1 season, Sibley was a rotation player last season for Derby as they had Ravell Morisson in his position so I assume he wont cost too much maximum 1 million

No chance, I think they are just tracking his progress and will not make any move for him this summer until he starts scoring most definitely because we all know what happened to Dan James from championship to Man United

It would make sense though, we haven’t got a pot to piss in by all accounts. Couldn’t see us forking out on this lad to play second fiddle to OHare and Palmer.

Seen him when he first burst onto the scene and thought he looked quality, admittedly haven’t watched him so much last couple of years but I would be very happy with this signing. Adds more quality in the attacking midfield area.

And if it means ohare is off we have him and palmer now for that position so that’s means we won’t be left short.
