Players earn their big wage jumps by making moves. He’s been at derby his whole career from academy up. Signed his latest deal, which will have been a jump Up from academy wage, as we were heading into lockdown. Would be amazed if he wouldn’t come in as maybe top middle tier maximum in the squad. No chance is he breaking the bank territory imo. He isnt the type of player you would expect to break the bank for ether, he's tidy yea, but you wouldn't chuck massive dough at him, 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe off but will he fit our wage structure, other clubs can spend quite big. Ipswich who were interested, Stoke in theory have a fair amount of headroom. We wouldn’t of put a bid in without knowing what wages we’d be paying . We would of spoken to his agent beforehand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted July 6, 2023 Report Share Posted July 6, 2023 37 minutes ago, Mr Popodopolous said: It might be that we are priced out as he doesn't fit our new wage structure. I'm not that convinced that we'll get him. Knight that is- Stoke will be willing to pay the higher wage IMO. I thought McCrorie was widely reported as being £2m? Widely reported….in Scotland! FWIW I heard it’s £1.2m up-front and a set of add-ons that make just shy of £2m to be realistic over time. One add-on taking it over £2m is ridiculous / never gonna happen! Stoke haven’t even bid…would not be surprised if that’s Derby trying to make us pay more. 5 minutes ago, steviestevieneville said: We wouldn’t have put a bid in without knowing what wages we’d be paying .

The obvious one is CB but the other not so obvious.

They'd probably like Will Smallbone back but it's unlikely given the likely departure of a number of higher ranked midfielders and that he'd be ideally suited to how Russell Martin likes his teams to play. That said, as far as I can see he only has one year left on his current contract to 2024. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 Given Ipswich have signed the lad from Posh and Stoke are buying Preston's old midfield, I wonder if we are the only player standing in this pursuit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite probable, hence Paul Warne’s comments which were hardly discouraging. Think they realise they will sell but are trying to squeeze a few more quid out of us. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't be far off the fee required We're not but as the article says we can't go much higher as we are still after another centre back, if we were to go up, I think we'd have to ask Derby to pay it over a longer period, to stay in budget, But there are people with better knowledge then me on that sort of thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
