Derby County's search for their 4th striker (Sammon, Martin, Ward and. ) will begin to take shape in the coming weeks.

Potential Signing:

Vaughan - Norwich City
Jackson - Norwich City
Russell - Dundee United
Nugent - Leicester City
Fryatt - Hull City
Griffiths - Wolverhampton Wanderers
Ebans Blake - Wolverhampton Wanderers (Injured)
Ashley Barnes - Brighton and Hove Albion

Vaughan is the clear target however Huddersfield Town and Derby have massive interest in the player and both are waiting for eachother to make the initial bid to Norwich. Expect the Terriers to bid first as they will have been speaking to James about a potential permanent move while he was on loan there.

All this talk of ruddy, Johnson, pilkington being sold is utter rubbish, the club have secured prem football for another term, they are debt free and don't NEED to sell anyone, especially not our star players!

Yes we will shift some dead weight that is inevitable. The likes of fox, teirney, ward, Ayala, Vaughn, Jackson, c. Martin will most likely be sold.

This is a summer of buying not selling. There are 68million little reasons why we are unlikely to all anyone from the first team! RVW is just the start! There will be some smart big money moves this summer!

Yes of course the likes of ruddy, pilks, snods, hoolahoops, r. Martin, bassong, turner, Johnson will be be doing the rounds of the rumour mill, they have all had great seasons, BUT I can't see any of them going! Turner has 2 years left, Wes just signed an extension, same with holt, bassong has 3 years left I think, Martin is the next club captain, Johnson is an ever present, ruddy got a new contract te beginning of the season, snods only just signed and has 2-3 years left!

Stop panicking the chase era is over we don't have to sell anyone and other than the fringe players of which I would like to see e. bennett. R. bennett, Ayala, and Vaughn kept, no one will be sold!

Peace out! #otbc

You will sell pilkington and ruddy for sure, as another season of struggle looms for the crunchers

I hope Paul Dicov doesn't get the managers job at Doncaster. He's currently firm favourite at 1/5. Would much rather an inventive new manager like Darren Ferguson but he's an outsider at 20/1. Who would you want?

Also we need a few new players in as I'm not up for a championship struggle. Who's rumoured?

Heard we are linked with:


1) Cammy Bell (Kilmarnock)
2) Kieron Westwood (Sunderland)
3) Stephen Henderson (West Ham)
4) Tom Heaton (Bristol City)
5) Wes Foderingham (Swindon)
6) Andy Lonergan (Bolton)
7) Matt Gilks (Blackpool)
8) Boaz Myhill (West Brom)

I would personally love to see wearing the Suffolk shirt!
Wes Foderingham
Matt Gilks

Bell has already signed with Glasgow Rangers on a pre contract agreement. And why is Neil Alexander not on that list?He has already played for you, and is better than Gilkes bye a mile. Just been loyal to Rangers, could have moved before now.

Any news on a new kit? I think this summer we need two new young midfielders, a new young striker and four defenders all of these permanent deals we get to many old players or loan players, the Town need a project!

Sam Allardyce has been given £20m to spend on players and he is willing to use. WAIT FOR IT. £14m on Carroll and another £3.5m on Diame, what an absolute joke. This West ham team have punched above their weight all season and unless they get a major overhaul, starting with an out and out goal getter they will struggle next year in the dreaded second season. They also desperately need a creative midfielder and require improvement in all areas. I fear for the hammers already if they are willing to spend entire transfer budget on 2 players

Simon Grayson has expressed his want for a right back as competition for fans favourite Keith Keane, a 6 figure bid has been made for Norwich full back/winger George Francombe. Declan Rudd is taking a holiday and will decide on his immediate future once he returns. Luke Ayling (Yeovil) has been subject to enquiry from PNE. Mansfeild forward Matt Green has been offered a trial for Preston's pre-season tour of Ireland. Neither Lee Novak, or his agent, have contacted Preston as of yet.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ayling won't go up north to join a league one team he'll only consider moving up there if its in the championship

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Paul Huntington has been talking to Ayling since the enquiry was made, also Jamie McAllister has been advising him, but I don't know any more details I'm afraid!


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ayling loves life in yeovil, so I can't see this happening!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

George francombe? Not sure he's ready for that yet. You can have him on loan if you like.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can't see Novak coming. He has been offered a new deal by Huddersfield and Birmingham are interested too. Both clubs will be able to offer much higher wages than PNE.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I can't imagine us paying a six figure, must be fairly decent though

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


300k is the negotiating figure I've been told this weekend, I am surprised PNE are willing to pay that much on a defender to be honest

Sad news for you West Ham fans for next season, West Ham United manager Sam Allardyce says he is already planning for the next Premier League season after signing his new contract, but that he will not be making wholesale changes to his playing squad and with only £20m he will be looking at bargain basement again.

i think its stupid tht mancini gna get sack he won league last season and then just because they don't win anything this season he gets sack if you want your club to be that successful then why change manager. can understand they have high standards with the money they spent but you can't expect to win everything all the time. ED what's your personal opinion of it would you sack him? {Ed001's Note - he has to be sacked, he has completely mismanaged a squad that is far superior to any other in the Prem. He won't use tactics that are proven to win, instead he keeps changing them and fiddling about with the system for each game. Oh, and any manager that continues to pick Gareth Barry as first choice, well that should be a sackable offence in itself! It is not because he failed to win the cup he should get the sack, but because the team have been so poor all season.}

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I agree with Ed on the Gareth Barry point. He's rubbish.

Caulker (Loan) realistic/not rumoured
Phil Neville (rumoured)
Fahti
James Vaughan realistic/not rumoured
Elmo
Em. Frimpong
SWP (probably cost to much in wages) but if takes a wage cut worth a punt.

West Ham, Cardiff and Wigan fans should all take note that Nigel Clough has said John Brayford would have to look at his options if a bid came in.

He is going, end of pretty much.

Now it simply depends on who bids first and at what price. Derby would not accept anything below 1 million. However if I was one of the three premierleague clubs interested I would test derby at 1 million because they could do a lot with that such as sign James Vaughan a known target, or offer a better wage to another player because Brayford leaving will free up wages.

Finally the player is in his last year of his contract and derby would love to keep him but Brayford isn't going to sign a new contract so derby would take 1 million in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong derby fans are right when they say he is worth around 2 million but the situation means he would go for less.

Oh they also have an ample replacement in Wales youth international Kieran Freeman, which means they can afford to let him go more.

Bournemouth owner Maxim Demin is to pull all his fortune into AFC Bournemouth, 2 other Russians are also directors and are determined to be successful. They want to be a top ten team this season and build for the future, they have a board meeting planned this week about the transfer budget but it is expected to be around £3-4 million

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Top ten?!

Are you mad?

They are going up next season, as champions. Then the Premier League title in their debut season, followed by Champion's League glory the following season.

As you guys keep telling us, the Super Galactico Cherries are the greatest team in the history of mankind, EVER!

They will steamroll everything before them over the next generation!
