Transfer News Transfer window 2020/21

Not sure it's been picked up, but Derby are tyring to sell some of their young players to raise funds as they've not paid their players in full due to the pending takeover. Wonder if we have anyone in mind with Craig Short's connections to the club...

They had a young lad who can play striker, no. 10 or on the wing who might be available at a knockdown price. Wayne Something-or-other, I think his name was.
 
I guess that depends on the chairman and his board. Between them they have the money but do they have the ambition to spend it? Or are they just another Kassam looking for a way to make a buck?
I’m surprised you omitted the word “ quick”.
When did any of the owners,post Kassam, actually make any money from there ownership of the club.
 
He said it might happen. He never said definitely.
Just like KR who normally says he is hopeful of signing players by a certain time. Some on here take that as 'definitely ' for some strange reason.
He was confident enough of the four incoming to throw a bet out there.
Then again, he was also quite confident we would get a CB and a winger in in the first two days of January.

I am coming round to the opinion that scotchers is actually KR, and not NM after all.
 
Re Cadden, I wish we hadn’t done the whole “he knows what he needs to do to stay” and “I think he’s been badly advised” routine in public. It doesn’t help. That’s all I’ll say on that.

Good luck to him at Hibs. Not sure he will find any ‘barcades’ as good as 16-Bit in Edinburgh.
 
Are we that much financially worse off than Peterboro? Except for the ground situation we are pretty similar arent we? Their model of selling for big fees and buying the cream of league 2 and conference for big fees seems to works pretty well. Interested to why we don't do similar.
This is from last year but yes Peterborough are running at a completely different level to us. Mainly because of McAnthony's largesse but even more flush now after selling Toney. In 2019 they spent £1.3m on Eisa and £19.5k a week on wages just for their loan players! Different financial planet.

Very good point. I forgot about that. Now the bus has come around again and Cadden’s agent is the driver, comments like that will not help - at all! I wouldn’t have liked those kinda comments, made in public. I’m sure that none of us would have.

I’m not surprised that he has gone elsewhere.
 
Just a gentle reminder that Shodipo has already scored more goals for us than Gavin Whyte..
Like I said before, I think it’s about their all round play. I bet Shodipo’s scored nearly as many as Brannigan, but again it’s what they do for the team.

Having said that, I would have liked Shodipo, Whyte and Cadden in the team.

Shodipo plays on the wing, so does Whyte? Literally the same position, just on opposite sides. Might as well compare Stevens with Sam Long..

It’s not about if you’re right or not, it’s about not burning the bridge in case you ever want them back.

The guy wanted to go and live in America and experience it. He got to do that. Robinson should’ve shut his mouth and if it was as doomed as he thought maybe he could’ve ended up with him anyway.

There was no way Cadden was coming back here. I’m happy with Sam Long.
