    Joe Ledley

    How about a quick move for Joe Ledley on a years contract. Should be a no brainer for me. That's if he's still a free agent.

    Spot on Mano'. As a 'no brainier' we should be well qualified to make it happen. Probably wait till another club comes in at the last second and then...guess what?

    You seem rather negative about the club at the moment RA? There must be a reason Ledley is still a free gent, perhaps he wants to much in wages? perhaps he is injury prone? perhaps he is no longer the player he was?

    You're right WR...I was untypically disillusioned by the Kieftenbeld failure. We seem to have been linked with so many players lately only for them to go elsewhere.
    Looking more objectively, your points about Ledley are all fair.
    Suppose the questions remain...have we all been pacified by Friday evenings result and is this a sign of things to come or another false dawn where we struggle along for the next four months without the ***** ingredient - a ball winning midfield battler - that we have been missing for so long?
    I certainly didn't see Friday's performance coming and if we can remain in touch until the next window and then strengthen in the area described then there may be grounds for optimism. In the meantime Rowett himself has suggested looking at the uncontracted players market and while I would never wish to appear fickle...this is the 'roller coaster' that is Derby County, so who knows what awaits around the next bend?

    Friday was welcome but it remains to be seen whether we can get some form of consistency going forward, much also depends upon injuries as well. But there is at least signs that we can be challenging for a top 6 place and as a fan thats what you want a team to be doing. I would also like a good couple of cup runs.


    I am wary of signing "name" players who have been good in the past, it depends of course but there must be a reason ledley hasn't been snapped up by a club.

    Rowett keeping tabs on Joe Ledley to slightly ease the midfield problems.

    What we don't want to do as a club is panick in bringing in players like Ledley cause we are tight for midfield cover and just bring in another inconsistent player to our cause. Ledley has had injury problems in the past and his fitness levels will need to be put up to scratch and will take time for him to gel with the team and get the feel of 1st team football again after leaving Crystal Palace.

    Our youth system could get the chance that they have been waiting for to really show what they are made of and Rowett could give them the spark that these youngsters need to get their careers off to a really good start.

    Our team average age is just over 28 and the team that lost 4-1 against Bristol City on Saturday were 30 or over.

    The club could do with narrowing down the team average age and balance the books a bit to give the squad more life, hunger and freshness it needs to turn this club on the knife edge.
