Derby have turned down an improved £1.2m bid from #BurnleyFC for Jason Shackell. Interest from #lcfc too. #dcfc

@petermblackburn would think Shackell the alternative if they can't do Chester

[Danny the Fox 95]

Fourth official said that Chambers was the alternative to Chester, whilst Percy says its Shackell. Both reliable sources, interesting. Would rather we sign Chambers if we can't get Chester.

[Happy Fox]

I would imagine we are in the market for 2 CBs, one them will be with money with a transfer fee i.e Chester or Shackell and one free agent : Chambers, Wilson, Fitz Hall

[James_lcfc]

Big Nige loves his CB's. Or hates the one's we've got. Either way.

[Danny the Fox 95]

Reckon St Ledger, and Mills will leave. And hopefully we'll sign Chambers, and Chester and then a youth player like Taft as back up.

[EnderbyFox]

St Ledger is a lot better than Shackell, hopefully this isn't the end of him.

I would imagine Shackell/Chester would be a replacement for Mills?

I was referring to the post above mine, but I hope so

[Fox92]

Please no, never rated him.

[sphericalfox]

Sounds like we're getting chained to any old CB at the minute.

I do hope we have a team of CBs that would be classed as defensive thinking. The more LCFC mirrors the Irish National Team the better for me!

[Bert]

Never rated Shackell.

[Father Ted]

I don't see it happening, especially with the way Derby were making such a big thing over the 'big loss' of Barker through injury...

Dierby are a selling club they need the funds to buy players.

[1884Fox]

Why are we trying to sign so many CBs

[kingfox]

I like Shackell, but would prefer Chester 100%

Don't wan't Hall or Chambers, don't need all these centre backs.

Morgan and St Ledger are perfectly good enough.

Form, suspensions, injuries play a part . 4 CBs in Morgan, St Ledger and the 2 new recruits would be ideal.

[Dan]

Derby fans seem to rate him from my memory.

[Bluetintedspecs]

I do hope that all these players that we are linked with, and our fans "don't rate" don't read this forum and have sensitive dispositions

Well, we have two, and all that's happened is we're linked to a couple.

Hardly anything too wrong is there?

[ousefox]

My mate was in the youth team at Banrsley while he was there and said he was the biggest twat there.

[Bryn]

Would take Shackell, solid centreback, certainly better than St Ledger ffs, lets get real.

These centre backs we have been linked with though, are all capable of starting.

Morgan and St Ledger could be crucial next season, really rate them two. But if two of Chester, Shackell, Hall or Chambers come in there will be massive competition, yes it's good to have competition but these players will all want to start and are good enough to start. So two of them will be massively frustrated because they will be benched, which could affect team morale.

[FoxLAD]

would prefere shackell to chambers IMO

[Corky]

Don't see him as an improvement on what we've currently got.
