Jan transfer window update

[Lightsoot]

Gary Mackay-Steven wants to go to Celtic ahead of us. Clough likely now to step up his interest in Paul Coutts.

£1.7m bid tabled for John Brayford.

Chris Porter has rejected the chance to join Carlisle but another club is interested.

 

[DorsetSUFC]

Could that other club be Yeovil??

 

[Lightsoot]

Could that other club be Yeovil??

Genuinely don't know on that one.

 

[ThatJa]

Clough said this?

 

[sothall blade]

what he said ^^^^^^^^^ ?

 

[sitwell]

Clough said this?

The king is dead ?
The other team was Beighton Magpies I heard.

 

[Lightsoot]

No, not from Clough. From an ITK source I know who has been informed by someone at the club.

 

[Ben_1982]

Coutts will only come as a package with Freeman

 

[South_Stand]

For a second I thought you said £1.7 million

 

[breeny]

For a second I thought you said £1.7 million

What??! We really shouldn't need to pay that.

 

[Thaddeus]

Coutts will only come as a package with Freeman

That makes sense. Freeman wouldn't want to come on his own and be lonely.

 

[Ben_1982]

Mock all you like. Derby will only sell them as a package. No freeman, no coutts

 

[Patrick Suffaux]

£1.7m bid tabled for John Brayford.

Behave

 

[FTPE]

Uggggggh,
GMS is the one I want the most, hence me moaning so much to Foxy like its his fault

 

[SwissBlade]

For a second I thought you said £1.7 million

Behave

The reliable source I got my info from last week said 1.5mil so it sounds about right

 

[Latters]

Why has everybody else got a reliable source? I want a reliable source, I'm not playing any more.

 

[IOM Blade]

No wonder we're only bidding 80p for Gary Maky Wotsit then.

 

[Going up]

How much is promotion worth? GOG, Brayford and Coutts are already good enough for the Championship, possibly Premier, none would need time to develop and would certainly be game changers.

 

[stringjunior]

That kind of money makes me believe we might just get the beard.

A bit of wee just leaked out

 

[boo radley]

Do they live together, the first gay footballing couple.

 

[Thaddeus]

Mock all you like. Derby will only sell them as a package. No freeman, no coutts

It's not really about mocking you, I'm just mystified why. This is the second time we've been linked with Freeman and the second time he's been lumped together with someone else, almost as though he needs to have a sweetner before anyone would take him on.

Assuming this is all true, it doesn't suggest Derby have much faith in him as a saleable asset.

According to the Stir the first bid last week was rejected for the Beard, my "source" said that United had left the bid in Cardiff's court, so putting together the other info from this thread, we initially bid 1.5 which was rejected and we've gone to 1.7m now. Or alternatively all of the info could be complete bollocks and the Stir is getting its stories from this thread...

 

[Ben_1982]

It's actually the third bid for Brayford, which has neither been accepted nor dismissed!

 

[raul]

Why has everybody else got a reliable source? I want a reliable source, I'm not playing any more.

Not got a reliable source? Just make one up, just like everybody else does - piece of.

Becchio and Huth arriving Feb 1 on season longs - reliable source who has never been wrong before.

Coutts & Freeman will be permanents not loans!

 

[forever_blade]

£1.7 million pounds - that is game changing investment

Surprised Clough is still interested in Freeman after he spat the dummy out last time round demanding more money than we we're willing to pay. He wouldn't be a bad addition though as cover for Harris at LB as we don't wanna be moving McEveley out of that centre back berth on current form.

We shall wait & see...

 

[judge]

all these made up transfer updates are great fun ,much better than the blank page we would have if we were being truthful

 

[Blade56]

Must admit I was worried about McE when he first came. Didn't know what he was like but the negativity on here surrounding him made me worry we were signing a bad player. For me he is one of the first names on the team sheet, and bonus he's not one of our more injury pron players

 

[Mouth of the South]

To be honest, as big a fan as I am of the Beard, I'm afraid I can't justify spending the amount quoted above on him (assuming that both Cardiff and he agree to the move). Yes, his arrival would give the club especially the fans a lift but essentially, he is an attacking right back (and some would say with questionable defensive qualities). Unless there is sufficient budget to allow other targets to join and plug priority gaps (strong, creative central midfielder - Coutts?? (dependant on where NC plans to play Bash); striker/target man - COG??; Centre back (also dependant on where NC plans to play Bash), attacking left sided player to cover JM - GMS??? then surely the resources would be better spent on those areas and RB instead covered by Flynn, Alcock and perhaps a loan signing.
