Transfer Speculation / Gossip

[edgysatsuma89]

Milner, young, Barry, lampard?

Zero chance

Agree. No chance whatsoever.

Absolutely. We are talking about the club who can't afford Marc Albrighton.

Although I have zero idea, it might not be that we can't afford him, it might just be that we don't think he's worth it.

Wow, there was a tiny bit of optimism from a post from me, as if I'm implying we could afford higher wages. I'll keep telling myself it.

Capoue on loan would be a good signing. MBia has been linked for a low fee from QPR who can play in defence or in front of the back 4 too. Strength, height and technical ability needed. And a bit of positional sense!

[Matt Collins]

They're probably on about £50k a week each

And if Capoue isn't wanted by spurs he'll be going somewhere better than us surely.

[supertom]

Now that Derby won't be coming up, I wonder if there's anyone worth poaching. What about that young sprightly fellow, Dawkins? He looked quite good.
 

In terms of Will Hughes. I wasn't convinced on him. We've been tentatively linked in the past haven't we? I think he's a few years off Prem standard yet though.

[Matt Collins]

Yeh I wasn't impressed with will Hughes. The holding midfielder on loan from the baggies was much better but I don't imagine they'll be letting him go

[PaulWinch again]

Will Hughes is a hell of a talent he just didn't have the best game.

[Matt Collins]

I'm sure he is. But not a priority (or realistic option) for us.

[Steve67]

Hughes is a talent but I think we need more experienced players in this summer. I also have a feeling that QPR will suck up much of the older, freebies like Lescott, Frank and Ashley Cole. I was hoping that Derby would come up because QPR will be more competitive and highly likely to outspend us.

[barrysleftfoot]

 I think Hughes will be a good player, but hes not worth £10m of our money atm.The guy at Ure , on loan at Wigan, Powell i think, is more our level atm, get Capoue on loan, or buy Kioyate? from Anderlecht, and Kim/Dembele/De Guzman, thats about £12m?, then get Marin on loan, and try Grealish, and Robinson.

 Sell Gabby, Westwood, Lowton, Helenius, and get Traore from QPR, whos out of contract.

[mr underhill]

I though Traore looked poor yesterday, and to be fair, so did OPR as a team. But that's good news for us if no takeover happens. They have an old-ish side, Tony won't be selling out mega bucks, and they will probably get hit with a big fine. So hopefully there are only two relegation places up for grabs. Burnley for I of those?

Craig Bryson is comfortably the best midifielder at Derby, bizarre to say the least he was on the bench yesterday.

I like Jamie Ward, he was here as a youth wasn't he? Pretty sure we used to play him left back?

[MalcolmP]

Bryson was carrying a back injury that is why he was on the bench

[Steve67]

SSN will be creaming themselves that old Harry can roll down his car window for them on transfer deadline day once more.  Shouty Scottish man will be chuffed.

Ward was a forward here wasn't he?

Derby played well in fairness, but did not take their chances. Dunne and Hill next season if not replaced could ship a huge amount of goals. Either that, or QPR will be so stretched across the field due to the defence being so deep they will struggle to keep the ball.

I'd have a look at Amalfitano.
