Rams frustrated in player chase

Derby County chairman of football Adam Pearson says that trying to bring in new faces for next season is proving a difficult task.

The Rams are close to sealing a deal for Exeter City midfielder Dean Moxey.

But initial bids for Burton defender John Brayford and Rotherham defender Shaun Barker have both been rejected.

"It's going slowly on all fronts but we have got ongoing negotiations for Moxey and they seem to be going positively," Pearson told BBC Radio Derby.

"Hopefully in the next few days we'll resolve that and move onto personal terms for the player.

"The situation on Brayford and Barker is that we've put formal offers in and they've been rejected and that's where we're at.

"We'll assess where we want to go with both those targets over the coming weeks."

They should set their sights lower.

If they can get any lower.

They tried to get Craig Westcarr, but Notts County were in a position to offer him higher wages.

Let's wait until the transfer window closes before passing judgements but it looks strangely similar to us a few years ago!!!

Could Derby become the new Notts County? lol lol

That is some very bizarre players they are after. Would have thought they would try their luck with more established players at Championship level

Having seen Dean Moxey play for Exeter on several occassions this season I can honestly say i'd have liked to have seen Forest go in for him, he's a great prospect.

I'd have thought that with Derby having a year of parachute payments left that they'd be looking at a better general level of player though.

No wonder they're having no luck then.

Derby - ''Right, we'll give you 500k''

Rotherham - ''Right, this is getting silly. I've told you he doesn't play for us''

Derby - ''Okok, you drive a hard bargain, 600k !''

They already spent both years payments clearing debts I think. Unless i'm mistaken, they havent got a pot to piss in, let alone funds to buy players, hence bids for conference players being rejected!! :D

Yeah and they still claim to be operating a profit without the parachute payments. ???

I knew those former Enron employees would turn up somewhere.

I'm suprised the usual candidate hasn't been attracted to this as though we put a mutton signal in the sky.

Yeah. We've really shown them how to do it. Who have we got so far? Lets see..............................

Early days yet, hardly the time for pointing and laughing, even if there targets have seemed a little less ambicious than ours so far, you never know. Don't let our rivalry turn into ignorance!

I agree with Erik, now is not the time for us to be laughing at Derby, as I suspect they will end up being the ones laughing as us, as we all still sit here in mid-september as Mark Arthur continues to tell us "we won't be rushed..."
