According to unconfirmed reports Derby County are set close the signing of Charlton Athletic winger Jerome Thomas. Thomas is said to be moving to Pride Park for a £3.25million deal to be sealed in the next 48 hours. Derby have agreed a fee with Charlton - after a £2.5m bid was rejected - and Thomas, 24, is due to have a medical today.
We have looked weak on the left. When Reid has been assigned to that position, he tends to drift inside. According to reports, that happened last night at Swindon. Some Addicks think that Christensen would be a worthy replacement for Thomas - and less sulky.
Thomas is undoubtedly talented, but somewhat inconsistent and with a tendency to showboat. I would take the money if some of it could be spent on a good central defender.
I think that the departure of Thomas would make it something like 18 players out and 11 in.

I think he is one of the players we could survive without. Too much showboating with no end result for my liking. 3.25 million represents an excellent return on the 100K, I think Curbs paid for him. Combined with the Diawara money there should be enough for Pards to bring in adaquate central defender and midfield replacements..
how much money do we need?..I know we need some left sided class that's for sure, and he represents that. Having said that I never liked the way he used to pretend to be all cool when he scored...JT, you are not and never will be Henry, so grow up and show us some emotion.
