Derby have released Efe Ambrose, Alex Pearce, Ashley Cole, David Nugent and Marcus Olsson. And are desperately trying to find a way to release Chris Martin.
We’ll be wishing we had a player like Martin when most of our current squad have left and our only goal threat is Own Goals and Dicko. That’s the reality we face.
If we played 4-4-2 with Martin and Dicko - that would potentially work. When Grosicki/Bowen/Campbell have all left - what percentage of goals did those 3 players alone score for us? We won’t replace them with anything remotely like the same quality. I’d take Martin - at least he has scored at this level and needs a system to suit him. The alternatives for £0 are no better. Which is precisely our transfer budget.
They haven’t a pot to poss in either, no money, no manager, a Boro fan mate of mine reckons they’re going to really struggle as they have to offload a lot of players or get hit hard by FFP. So if the Allams are looking for 2-3 mill, then they won’t be in for him!
Shows how much I like hull city and football in general at the minute. Obviously we haven’t signed anyone yet but did anyone end up signing a new contract? They expire end of May don’t they?
