    Chesterfield left winger / striker and Albanian international. Rumoured to be interested him along with a whole host of other clubs. Nothing to suggest it's anything more than a rumour. But if it is true, I wonder if we'd sell DKD if anyone is nuts enough to pay top whack for him, put Dobra on the left and have Phillips in the middle but deeper behind McGoldrick. It's certainly a more natural position for Phillips than DKD.

    Assuming it's bobbins though until proven otherwise.

    It’s a good commanding centre half we desperately need, we’ll see how serious the board is this week…….

    No disrespect but why do you say a club would be nuts to pay top whack for DKD.We bought him he's improved and if 5 million is the going rate thats what we should hold out for.

    I think he's a superb player at this level and we have indeed improved him. But he's already in his peak years and has only really shone for one season above 4th tier level. Don't get me wrong, we should be holding out for top whack. We got an absolute bargain at £700k or whatever. But £5 million is a proper whack for a (very good) lower division footballer.

    That's definitely the priority. Doesn't mean we shouldn't be looking at other positions as well.

    I think another winger coming in would give us the chance to rest McGoldrick putting DKD back up top, although having said that yesterday was that chance to play cleary with DKD through the middle but then you lose the power and hold up play of McGoldrick.
    Personally like to see Phillips drop back into midfield and play DKD Central behind McGoldrick.

    DKD got 19 last season ?
    Might be a simplistic idea but play him in that role again.
    I'm not struck with the idea of moving him around to accommodate DmG.
    He's our best player, treat him like that

    Totally agree. It certainly frustrates me when we make obvious mistakes...dkd needs to play central up top. Earl and mdg cant defend. We need a striker and cb. The owners need to come out from hiding and hold a fans meeting...

    Surely we need a winger and a CB if we are wanting DKD back up top?

    New winger goes on left where DKD is now, DKD back up front and Didzy as backup.

    Do you think you're been a little over dramatic.

    What do u disagree with...

    Firstly the fans deserve to hear from the owners, it's called fan engagement.
    Secondly we've conceded too many goals this season along with over 70 last season and mdg and earl were in defence.
    We have 2 fit strikers...we need another...
    Dkd is the best striker we have so needs to play up top...
