Derby Countys two main Targets
are Michael Jacobs and Paul Dixon
No other Deals will be done intill they
sign.Providng they do especially with
other clubs on sniff.Jacobs However
has said his preference is Derby.But
Dixon is still on holiday and his Agent
is busy sorting out players contracts
at Rangers.

Other Players

Daniel Powell/Jon Taylor
Johnny Russell/Alberto Bueno
Krystian Pearce
Fegor Ogude

Updates on Goings out

Chris Maguire 600k to watford
Steve davies and James Bailey to
Burnley 2.3 Million(I presume thats
cash plus Ad ons)
Lee croft Undisclosed to Oldham
Dylan Hayes and Josh Lelan on loan
to Burton
Connor Doyle on loan to Notts county

Miles Addison is Staying(There was
interest from Wolves,Coventry and
Bristol City).But hes seems to have
said somthing to Nigel about his
Attitude as i Gather.

Jason Shackell has an Asking Price
of 4 million.That dosent mean hes
transfer listed at 4 million.The price to
alot of people will seem high but due
to his last seasons performances and
really the importance he has to derby
especially with Barker out.Burnley
had offered a Miserable 1.3 and have
given up.Leciester are considering but
thats it.

Nigel Recently said "Its not
about the money.Derby dont want to
become a selling club as that invites
clubs to enquire about our young
talents.Jason is a very Important
Player Especially with him being
skipper next season.We bought him last
summer we didnt intend on making
profit on him but forming a solid
back four for the years to come.
If a Club Did offer 4 Million we wouldnt
just Accept it.As we wouldnt accept
any offer for any of our players that
arient transfer listed unless we knew
a player we could replace them with.
Thats why we Feel Jason shackell
wont be leaving this Summer as right
now we havent found a replacement
that could have the same ability as
Jason.We have many good young
Centre Backs In Obrien and Lelan but
in order to Make a Promotion push
next season Experience will be a vital
part of the team."

Agree0 Disagree1

What like Norwich and Swansea did last season, thats what everyone was saying last year. Look the end of the day we got to play everyone twice as we all no. I personaly think it is good we get one of the big boys away early on. Yes we will probably loose and possible by 3 or 4 goals but i would not want to be playing Man city away in the last 10 games of a season which let be honest is going to be a hard battle against relagation but a battle i think we can win. COYR

According to reliable sources in the Dutch hcamp, both Barcelona and Real Madrid are considering making firm offers for Van Persie, now that the Netherlands have been knocked out of the Euoes.

Both clubs will offer RVP £250,000 a week, close to his demands and much more than Arsenal will offer.

The fee will be around 35 million Euros paid over 2-3 years - which is the norm for most transfers on the continent and in the Premiership.

Fairly clear that no such offer has been made to Arsenal. Also indicated that RVP is still willing to stay in the UK
