Oliver was outstanding in the playoffs and against Burton. He went missing in a lot of other games. The fact he went from club to club and ended at Morecambe might be an indicator? On the other hand, when he wants to, really good in the air. Not sure about him.
I thought his work rate was always good. Strikers are often wanderers. Oliver has been at 8 clubs, the same as Ibrahimovic. Bayo and Andy Cole, for example were both at 13 clubs.

He’ll be at 9 soon

He’ll be at 9 soon It's impossible to predict without knowing the offer from the club but I would be surprised if he left. He only played briefly in League One at the start of his career so I guess would relish the challenge. He suits our style of play and is popular with the fans desire not having a great scoring ratio. It would be a big gamble to move on.

If it’s true that he’s only been offered a one year deal then of course he will be off. He’s uphill for 29 and this is potentially his last decent contract.... He’s bound to find a two year deal somewhere and good luck to him. You can’t blame him for holding out for a decent last pay day.

Anyone else heard Jack Marriott of Derby rumours. Ex P@sh but a local boy. Apparently wants more regular football.

made me chuckle and a fair point too! Who in L1 is going to pay even a 6 figure transfer fee let alone of course the Championship.

The way finances are looking generally, big fees and wages outside of the Championship are going to be few and far between. There are going to be plenty of squad players released that will be coming out of the Championship that will struggle to cover half their current salary, let alone command a fee? Anyone who doesn’t think the current market expectations are going to change dramatically are the ones dreaming? Depleted income = smaller squads = fewer contracts. Fewer contracts on offer to the same number of full time professionals means the bottom drops out of the market along with salary expectations, that’s the theory anyway? This may mean a game of musical chairs where professionals who hold out for big money are left out of work come the start of the season? I reckon this will be a close season like no other and the smart thing to do may be leave a couple of slots open till the last minute because there will probably be some real quality desperate for a contract? Just depends how big a tw@t their agent is and how much sh1t they have between their ears?

If Marriott left Derby he'd be snapped up by another Championship club.

Talk of signing Marriott is very unrealistic..
Footballers of his stature in the Championship earn close to or more than a million annually - particularly at free spending clubs such as Derby. The vast majority of L1 clubs likely couldn't even pay him 1/5 of what he is probably currently earning, in these challenging times. As he is still under contract, why on earth would he take a giant pay cut to come back to a division that he has already proved he is too good for?
