Derby are adamant that they do not want to sell, and Brighton have yet to reach a figure that would tempt the club to change its mind.

But you sense that if Brighton could reach a figure that Derby are happy with, allied with the player's desire to play in the top flight, the money could be reinvested into the team.

However, Brighton are thought to be far from reaching a compromise for the academy graduate, who has just returned from a hamstring injury. Cashin is believed to be keen on a move to the coast, and significantly, yesterday, he was not handed the captain's armband for the 2-1 defeat to Cardiff.

Some better news from yesterday, Liverpool u18s 1-4 Rams u18s.
Both of our Academy teams are performing well now. Perhaps we should have made a greater effort to bring some of these younger players closer to first team selection, as other Championship clubs do 🤔
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I agree with you Ang, PW is not very good at bringing young players on.

I think we are very likely to get relegated. The team seem to be demoralised lately and team selection and tactics are haphazard.

I don't think DC will sack Warne and I don't think Warne will resign, so we are stuck with him.

I hope I'm wrong because I can't stand another League 1 season again.

(We should have got Rowett when he was free)

I was impressed by 19yo midfielder Ollie Scarles playing for WHU in the Prem this evening, VC.
I found this quote from Graham Potter, which you may find interesting.

'In his first press conference as West Ham United’s new Head Coach, Graham Potter didn’t hesitate when asked about the prospect of introducing the Club’s exciting young homegrown talent into the first-team fold.'

“The Academy is something that is central to this Club,” declared the new Hammers boss. “I think our supporters like to see players from the Academy pushing into the first team, and I think it can help us in terms of how we identify players and how we think about recruitment. I think the starting point should always be to look at what we’ve already got here.”

Morgan Whittaker signs for Boro.

Pompey in for Clarke

Pompey in for Clarke
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah - rumour last night he was at Pompey. A lot of Pompey fans have called it nonsense as they have an Aussie defender coming in who is left sided CB and say they don't need another.

Be disappointed to see us missing out on MC by Portsmouth. But money talks.

Brown and CBT join Nelson on the injury table until next season.

If we escape relegation with this patched up squad it's going to be an absolute miracle given how many players we're losing to injury.

Desi, re CBT and Brown, is this you just being pessimistic or do you have inside information? I've not been able to find any other comments about these two from DCFC, RD or Derbys Live for example.

No I've not seen it personally either. Got a message stating they're out for the season. ( I should have stated in my message, 'nothing official confirmed'

Excuse the wink, unintentional

Thanks Desi. Let's hope you can shoot your messenger!

Louie Barry going to Hull. Hull FFS.

Presumably there is a loan fee which is set too high for us but not for Hull. It's all about money at the end of the day.

Oh for sure money is involved. Just an indicator of where we are truly at right now. Lots of people think Derby should just be signing players like other teams are.

Still no updates on the injured pair but my source is adamant they are ruled out. I'll be hitting him with pelters either way.

In other not 100% confirmed news but I'll share it because it's so quiet in here..

Matt Clarke signs
Conor Clarke apparently linked to us.

PW really does have some ridiculously love for the ipswich players. How much more of this can you take Ang?

"They are ruled out" - could be a week, a month, a------? Who is Conor Clarke?

Harry Clarke is an Ipswich defender, Desi ? 🤔

* Connor Chaplin

PW really does have some ridiculously love for the ipswich players. How much more of this can you take Ang?

I think he is probably trying to extract an elixir from their promoted players in the hope it will rub off (or on).

Connor Chaplin scored a good few goals last season methinks.

Chaplin and Barlaser would both be very good additions for me in our current situation. We need players who are better at keeping hold of the ball in midfield and Chaplin is a clever player.

And players who can pass to each other

'Brighton will decline any movement from Derby to send him back on loan.'

So they've not forgiven us for the play off semi final defeat and this is their payback.
