Shaun Derry has wasted no time trying to shore up our dodgy defence. According to radio Nottingham we are about to sign Keiran Freeman on loan from Derby.

He's been on loan here before and as I remember he was pretty useful.

This is good news, he is certainly better than what we have available to us right now. IMO

Good signing and at least Derry is looking to sort out our defensive problems. He had a good spell here last time and scored as well if I remember correctly. Just need a replacement for Labadie in midfield and then we might stop giving away needless free kicks!

Something posted on the list which may pose a question:

 

How come even with new managers, the same players are linked with us or signed? Examples given are Enoch and now Freeman.

 

I mean would Freeman have been on the radar of either SD or Bud? Is this, as eluded whereby instruction comes from above?

 

I don't know, and certainly have no axe to grind, I am just throwing it out there for discussion. Would be an ok addition any ways up.

That's a very good point, I don't think our present management team would be aware of Freeman so one can only assume that he was recommended by members of the board due to his previous loan spell, is that interference? Was SD told to sign him or did he have the option to say no because he had an alternative player in his sights. I suppose we will never know but as you say Freeman will be a good addition to the squad but according to the radio it's only until January unless we can extend it.

Glad to see my team helping Notts out.Freeman has been on the fringe with the Rams but has never let us down when selected.Beneficial to both clubs and the player.

Happy to have Freeman back. A player with the right attitude and that's exactly what we need right now.

Good to see SD sorting problem areas so quickly.Anyone else coming?

Be interesting to see where he fits in if it's true. If I'm thinking of the right player he's a RB by trade, and when i've seen Notts Dumbuya has been pretty good in that position. Maybe he'll go into the centre of defence with Deano which will allow Gary Liddle to play in his natural midfield position? We'll see I guess.

 

Surprising news, I thought he was getting fairly regular starts at Pride Park?

Why do we always have good news when I am the last to find out about it?

I'd be delighted with this signing, he's a player we should have chased more when Derby signed him. I have a feeling he might be a player who will depart them, so getting him back in and enjoying playing, might attract him to sign (I like dreaming). He's definitely a player who can help our defense out, I wonder what this means for Dumbuya? Might we see him in midfield when he returns from injury?

Fantastic news!

News just confirmed, and he is available for tonight's match

He's made six appearances for the Rams this season and can play in midfield.

i hope he enjoys and helps to fix things, he was always sound when i watched notts the last time he was here. happy about the signing
