Tony K, never let's the truth get in the way of linking us to a Wednesday player!
Don't think he has said anything out of term. Smacks of lazy journalism, any player if asked if they would like to play in the Premier League/Europe would say yes. That should be the aim of all of our young players. Good luck to him whatever happens, that being said I think his development would be better served with us for at least another year so we will just have to wait and see
Thank you for spelling it out to me A81 but half the strikers you named are still at there respective clubs (Sharp, Sammon, O'Grady) I'm pretty sure they are all under contract so only available if their clubs want them to leave which might only apply to Sharp.
Derbyshire has gone to the Championship, which is understandable because footballers want to play at the highest level. It's not just about matching wages, like Clough said we don't want to sign players that are just after the money, it's short sighted.
You are calling McNulty unproven but again I'm pretty sure he has played and scored in Scotland, I'm no fan of Scottish football but it still counts. Not to mention Clough wanted him at Derby so maybe it's not the gamble you are suggesting.
Never rated McCloud and he is a bit of journey man now anyway. You sound like you are more bothered about getting any player in than getting the right player in.
So yeah I stand by my original statement that it is silly to say we could have had all those players!
Glad we agree on Ched though and hopefully we will sign another forward soon but I'm pretty sure the same people will still find something else to complain about!
How can you say we could have had these players? Where have they gone, don't think many of them have moved on? A few in higher divisions and those in the same division won't come cheap. Would you be happy if we sold to a club in the same division, ie Macdonald from last season. Very silly to say we could have had these players. We won't spend silly money for no reason and nor should we. It will happen and it could be one of those players you listed but forwards are valuable commodities and deals don't happen as quickly. And Ched is definitely not the answer!!
For everyone complaining about lack of strikers (even though we have already brought one in & both the manager & senior officials at the club are telling us that we are on with the search for another) please read James Shield's article in Sheffield Telegraph today. Sums up why we aren't just rushing to buy, deals take time and certain deals at other clubs can make people available that we didn't think would be. Keep the faith, plenty of time until the season starts and Clough has steered us well so far!
