Krystian Pearce is transfer listed at 135k derby have offered 120k

Derby have offered a contract to Karleigh Osbourne who has also recieved contracts from Charlton and Nottingham Forest

Paul dixon will not be signing for the rams after his contract demands proofed to much for what we would offer him
so he will be poised to sign for Bristol city should no-one else make contact.

Therefore derby have stepped up their chase on Joe mattock who is free after his release from west brom
but derby face competiton from Brighton who are keen to keep him.

Targets who will be bidded for later on are

Daniel Powell
Fegor Ogude
Andrew tutte
Ashley Westwood
Johnny Russell
Will GriggTrials will be on as normal to the Public but derby have given 9 youngsters trials after their release from clubs.
5 of them used to apply their trade in france one being well known Striker Yannis Tafer after his release from OL
Frank Nouble and Nigel Hasselbienk have also been offered trials.

As far as Transfers going out


Steve davies and James Bailey are the the subject of a 2.5 million bid made by Burnley after the jay rod deal has gone
through.They will replace the missing Jay rod and Dean Marney.

Coventry and Bristol City have enquired about Miles Addison

Watford,Sheffield Wednesday and Dundee united have Enquired about Striker Chris Maguire.The First two had bids Rejected.

Nigel wants to use chris + cash to get a decent striker with his main focus towards Johnny Russell.Especially with them
interested in chris.

Derby county will not be buying anyone over the age of 25 but might get a old free transfer for experience.As derby still want
keep their policy of bringing in Youth Players with Will Hughes to play cover for Hendrick and Bryson.I will give another update on Monday when i heard Derby will approach Mk dons about Daniel powell which i have been told by people involed
that Ben davies will be involed.If that Fails They will try getting Jon Taylor.As Shrewsbury want ben davies.

So basically Reading have had loads of rumours going around. Most of it is rubbish but here's what's really going on.

Reading had a lot of loanees last season.

1) Matt Connolly. A fee has been agreed between the two clubs after it became clear that MC is surplus to requirements at QPR.

2) Hayden Mullins. Is currently a free agent. He filled the breach left by Karacan after he broke his ankle. Reading are discussing about bringing him in on a permanent deal which will be clarified before the start of the new season.

3) Benik Afobe. Youn Arsenal prodigy. Afobe did very little and Reading aren't looking into the possibility of bringing him in because they're looking for more proven strikers.

With regards to new signings.

1) Gylfi Sigurdsson. His move to Swansea broke down after the resignation of Rodgers. Likely that he will follow Rodgers but Reading are on red alert if a deal fails to materialise.

2) Carlos Sanchez. This move has stalled due to disparities in contract expectations between club and player.

3) Adrian Mariappa. Reading are looking to improve on their 2m offer after it was rejected.

Outs:

1) Simon Church. Many Championship clubs are looking into his availability and it looks like he could end up at Watford or Brighton for a fee of around 850k. Personally, I think he's worth about 50p but there you go.

2) Michail Antonio. Big targets for both Sheffield Wednesday and Charlton with Sheff. Wed looking more likely after a successful loan spell. Reading want about 700k. Very steep for a player proven at L1 level

3) Sean Morrison. Will end up at Huddersfield after successful loan spell

Reading also looking into buying a proven premiership striker, probably looking at relegated sides as well. Targets include Yakubu, Defoe and Owen however none of these are likely so mcdermott may try to sign rhodes

Steve Clarke is a top coach and by all accounts a good guy with a lot of experience. That said I'm very surprised that any premiership club would take him on without having managed somewhere else (lower division) first.
It wouldn't happen in any other industry I'd wager.
