Following on from the dramatic departure of Craig Bryson, Bradley Johnson and Jacob Butterfield to Monaco, the Rams have moved quickly to fill the void with the marquee signing of David Perkins.
Chairman Mao rris said
"We felt we needed some experience in there and someone that won’t give the opposition an ounce of space. We’ve had to dip into the market a little bit but myself and Gary Rowett who phoned me on my direct line, believe this is an investment that will take the football club forward."
The fee is believed to be in the region of 850 000 rising to 1 million.
Chairman Mao rris was asked about the rumours of San Jose’s Simon Dawkins returning to Derby County. His comments were:
“Not unless we can move some players on, but he is a player we’ve been keeping our eye on and we think he makes Giles Barnes look like 5hit. We will wait and see but we are very happy with the business we’ve done so far"
Finally a deal to get excited about. Welcome to Derby Mr Perkins, Simon alas one day I hope we will meet again
Top 6 for me now has to be. Good bit of business.

Concerns would be pace up front and maybe a bit too defensive but think if we took Perkins off on 70 mins and went 4-2-3-1 we could give it the kitchen sink then attacking wise.
