After the radio Derby phone in tonight, here's the key points of what sir Nigel had to say:
We may make a move for Jake Buxton from Burton Albion - he's out of contract i believe.
Clough said he is one of numerous defenders we have our eye on.
Bit of a gamble, but Clough worked with him at Burton and reckons he can make the step up.
He also said a CB, RM, CM and Full back isnt too far from where we are looking
he's not looking at forwards right now - maybe a loan though.
Said Mears and Barnes want away and so not in his plans, and although they may turn up for pre season it's best if they leave.
Also said "NO" when asked if Green will leave - but then went on to say it would take a serious amount of money for him to go anywhere - said the same applies to Commons.
Looks like Tito wants to go back to South America - his wife has already gone.
Kaz is going back to Porto.
Said he will be chatting to/about Barazite shortly - sounds like he wants him again.
Wants Bannan next season again.
Said he wants British based players.
Clough wants an end to the 'hoofball' - says he is desperate for us to play (consistent) passing football for 90 mins.
Says Steven Davies has a big Future - fancies him as a striker.
Clough very impressed with Savage - will have a big part to play next season.
No plans for any new backroom staff, maybe 1 new coach for the 1st team.
Academy staff should be sorted soon (nudge nudge Mace LOL)
Expanding the academy to take on more local kids - wants derby lads playing for derby! Possible use of 'Development Centres'.
We are having a reserve squad next season - possibly in the form of an under 21 squad for the senior academy lads and include some 1st teamers who have been injured.
Clough spoke about some of the academy lads making an appearance at Watford - said our best talent is 16 year old Mark O'Brien - young Irish centre half who could well play some part on saturday!
