Derby calling it the Lolly Watkins thread - sounds good!

I run a removal company and had an enquiry for a Mr O Watkins moving from Exeter to Birmingham this morning. Turns out it is an old boy in his 50's so definitely not our Ollie!

Definitely think they would be a good choice for Ollie.

You have that kind of spare money available? We're expecting at least £2m for him.

2 mil ,,,, your joking hants 2 mil cash and the other 3 mil over ??? would be more appropriate considering wot previous y players of the year fetched and the markets gone nuts since then,,,

They presumably still have a few quid in their back pocket from the Hogan sale (as well as having a wealthy owner).

mate 10 mil strikers aint the rule of thumb in the championship,BUT they aint exactly uncommon , championship clubs have enuf wedge and when it comes to goalscoring they arnt afraid of splashing it around

We rejected £3m from McClaren's Derby in January.

I'm not sure Ollie is a Rowett kind of player, but who knows.

We don't do silly money on players. The club would rather walk away than pay over the odds. We will be paying good money and you'll have a very good sell on clause.
