Transfer gossip - Summer Window 2021

[No Danger]

Pretty sure nmecha came here as it was seen as the best fit football wise.
However also worth remembering Muric was sent to managerless forest - where lamouchi quickly replaced him with his own man once appointed.
Clearly in the latter case a decision was made on the basis of wage contribution rather than development, so be interesting to see how City play this one.

I seem to recall we were disappointed at missing out on Muric but it didn't work out at Forest and has played very little football in loans to Girona and Erevedise.

I genuinely would have that the opposite way round.

Birmingham done some excellent business this window.

Looking at it, it's not bad.. How they've got Chong is beyond me too

Chong isn't great. Delap would be a good piece of business imo, quite low risk and probably a bigger goal threat than our current strikers?

Preston North End could be forced into the transfer market by Izzy Brown's injury

Preston North End suffered a big injury blow less than three weeks before the start of the season after Izzy Brown ruptured his Achilles tendon.

How come the EFL have eased Derby’s transfer embargo after all the shenanigans?

Rory Delap would be a bigger goal threat than our current strikers

I think with Chong, it's just waiting for it all to click. He could still be a very good player. I think the only time Liam Delap will step into Deepdale, will be for the opposition too.

Quite well known that Risdale swooped in and got him and convinced him to come to us for football reasons.

Chong potentially could tear this league apart this season. He could also be a complete flop. I wish we had signed him though.

Because Derby got fucked over. You're allowed to sign under embargo if you don't have enough players to field a team of senior players.

Senior players are counted as anyone at the club who has played a first team fixture. Last season an outbreak of covid forced them to play a bunch of youth team kids in the cup against Chorley, who are now counted as first team players despite being nothing of the sort.

Relaxing the embargo for this was the right thing to do.

Ebenezer actually sanctioned the lights being turned on? I imagine him saying ' Show 'im round in't bloody daylight'.
