Speculation Matt Derbyshire

[Nottingham Fox]

They've just been turned down by that Verhoek chap as well. That's a kick in the teeth as I bet he'd have been good. Apparently homesick, but more likely took one look at the place and thought '**** this for a bag of chips'....

his name sums him up

And who were the opposition? The lower leagues I believe bar a couple of seasons goalscoring for Luton and Derby.

Absolutely right - Howard is a lower division striker - and fortunately someone else is going to take on Derbyshire. I don't think that Sven would have wanted him anyway.

It's probably the case that we need a proper goalscorer to secure an automatic promotion spot - but signing make weights isn't going to help.

Good news for us. Reports from Holland say he's an excellent prospect.

They don't say we've signed him. They say "Leicester City are reported to have signed former Blackburn striker Matt Derbyshire".

That means they don't know for definite, the news has come from a source that may not be reliable.

Derbyshire has tweeted "Can't wait gonna be such a good season . Can't officially release were I am but I'm sure every 1 has guessed by now"

Plenty have guessed. How many have guessed correctly is a different matter.

Daily mail says he's signed along with ball.

It's another 'In Sven we trust' if this is to be true.

Hope it's a Mitre.

Good work Sven. Took a look at his goalscoring exploits and decided he wasn't the man for us.
