A record fee paid by a L1 club for a defender - potentially in excess of £1.5m including add ons. Shows how important McKenna sees those wing back roles being for how we want to play and the style of player highlights that he does want 'a left sided Wes Burns'.
No pressure, lad. |  | | |  |

But the football experts on here said that we were intentionally not attacking down the left or something. |  | | |

Yeah, but they also said hgat Cookie had been successful everywhere and it was totally unfair to sack him for marooning us in mid table twice. |  |

Seems likely that we’ll be less defensively resolute this season if that’s our approach. |  | | |

I'm really interested to see how we set up once it's all settled. Davis and Leigh can both play left sided CB in a similar fashion to Donacien on the right side. I think this could be the end of Burgess if we can shift him. | | | |

I don't know - that is what Stuart Watson tweeted though.
EDIT - looks like John Brayford to Sheff Utd for £1.5m. [Post edited 25 Jul 2022 18:45]

Didn’t Sunderland sign Will Grigg for *£4m?
*reported fee, but likely well short of that with a heap of add pms etc. |  | | |

Good shout, looking around seems to have been £3m up front, so still well short of a record. | | | |

Hadn't seen that, was wondering what the biggest League One fees are. Wouldn't entirely surprise me if the initial fee we're paying was around that level or even above, not confirmed though. | | | |

Something I don’t like about spending £1.5M on a left back in League 1.
We’ve done very good business under Ashton, this one feels slightly reckless. |  | | |

Yeah but looking on the Leeds forum, this lad was rated as the best of their U23s squad a year or two ago. McKenna and the scouting team must have really done their homework and pulled out the stops. | | | |

What is 1.5 mill in football nowadays anyway. Derby have signed some very experienced players on freebies who may be on a lot of money... its just the same imo. |  |

Indeed.
Don’t know enough about him other than small clips and Leeds fans reviews. Mixed bag, some think he’s very good, some think he was overhyped - never been one to judge a player from previous fans though, wait and see how they do for us.
From a purely financial perspective, it’s a big outlay for a Left Back, especially in League 1, for somebody who has only played 21 games at 22 years old.
Let’s see how this plays out. | | | |

I guess he's still young with (potentially) good resale value. A couple of good seasons and he'll be worth double or triple I'd imagine.
Obviously still a gamble. |  |

Yes might be the same, however, most of those Derby signings are OAPs. |  | | |

We paid compensation for Cresswell, and £50,000 for Mings, both whilst in the Championship. [Post edited 25 Jul 2022 19:16]

Yes, and a low fee for Taricco too. The point was that if he is good enough he could make a massive difference from that position rather than the fee. | |

With the season starting soon, we’ll soon be able to find out whether it’s reckless or not. Could be an inspired signing for all we know. |  |

This guy says £900,000. Assume £1.5mill might be final figure should all add ons be met.

£10,000 wasn't he?

1.5 for a player who can if needed cover 2 positions whilst being capable of competing in the league above should we make it.
Good fee. | |
