Incoming? Jack Marriott

[super-dazzler]

100% itk, he has joined Derby £4.75m

 

[BigBed]

Well Nugent can fuck off eather way!

 

[Scooter_mcgavin]

100% itk, he has joined Derby £4.75m

So that's 13m for 2 strikers then.

How do you know he was a target?

 

[Blade58]

I don't, but he says he's after players that will improve us. Most names mentioned on here are deemed to do just that, but whatever names he has on his list, I'll guarantee the list is getting shorter

He also said he was after proven top-end Championship players, which Marriott is not.

 

[super-dazzler]

We only put a bid in under Adkins, nothing recently

Good point, but imo my point still stands

As available championship strikers begin to get snapped up, the list gets shorter

 

[dazzlingblade]

Definitely on the move tomorrow I would say, named in team to start their friendly tonight only to be withdrawn minutes before kick off

Derby 100% ITK

 

[Ricky]

That's a shame for us, especially if we don't get Waghorn. That's not a bad price for him.

 

[FTPE]

Derby 100% ITK

Genuinley?
Guess you know if waghorn is too then?

 

[Eric Cartman]

5mil for a league one striker who’s never played in the championship now, fuck me.

I’d like us to strike a deal for Sam Gallagher if we can’t get Waghorn done.

Only know about Marriott, I'm a friend of the family

Awesome, almost sounds like you're Mafia.

Seriously though, I'm gutted he was my first choice

 

[Ricky]

£2m rising to £5m for Marriott apparently.

We should've gone for him at that price IMO. But I suppose he would've always ended up at Derby because..... wages.

When you say "Derby because..... wages.", are you legitimately justifying why we didn't sign him?
Or are you mocking those who have been talking down targets due to their wages?

Because that would mean he's mocking himself

 

[BigBed]

Derby £3m

 

[CaptainMorgans]

£3m for Marriott and £4m for Waghorn. With a pile of add ons attached to both, linked to their contributions and promotion.

That’s excellent business from Lampard.

They’re the kind of signings that you feel would have pushed us on a level. Instead we’ve made some middling signings and lost our game changing spark (Brooks). I must confess to feeling a little deflated going into this season, I just can’t see beyond another mid table finish (minus the early excitement of last season).

Ricky thinks we are not signing anyone because of wages.... its a running theme that has turned into a parody. Now we are actually spending money (aka Egan) wages are the cool thing on the block to try and hit the board with. God help us.

Wilder is on record saying we won’t break the wage structure so there may be some element that Ricky is right on?

That wilders decision though, not the board not giving wilder the funds to break it if he wanted too... 2 very different situations

 

[Danetheblade]

Signed for derby apparently. How this guy was second choice I'll never know.

You might know by next May

 

[Eric Cartman]

Wages don't come into it but we are going to have to think about this wage structure soon if we're wanting to sign 'Championship experienced' players (as per Wilder's comments)

Most of the ones we'll want, even those with affordable transfer fees will break out wage structure ala Hogan and Gallagher. Those that aren't on better wages as a rule are no better than what we have barring the odd exception.

Also all these posters rattling on about young players in lower leagues with potential to improve obviously didn't hear Wilder say that his preference is for experienced players that can come in and make a difference straight away.

Issue is with that, we won't pay the fee or wages for a experienced, proven forward.
