New Signing: Louie Sibley

Promoted with Derby County from League 1, decent amount of games at Champ/League 1 level for a lad of his age.

Welcome to the club Louis.

 

Decent age and experience, but doesn’t look to be a goal scoring midfielder, so more likely to compete with Power and Metcalf I’d think

 

Prefers the No10 role, scored 1 in 11.3 for Derby with a total of 13.

 

A proven championship player at 24 years of age is better than I was expecting to be fair.

 

Sort of level of player we need to be looking at. Will strengthen what is a weak central midfield bar Power and Metcalfe. To add if he likes to play further forward then that's also good as Sarcevic and Pointon need competition.

 

It's January and unlike the premiership we ain't cash rich in league one. I'll wait before fully judging him but credentials look good to me.

 

lets hope Sibley can dribbly and beat a man because thats what we really lack at present

 

Plus, if we get another couple of loans of that age and experience we may be able to get back the high intensity press that's been lacking for months now.
A defender who can play football and someone who knows where the net is.

 

Bradford City complete their first January window signing with the loan addition of Loui Sibley from Championship Oxford United.

24-year-old CM joins until the end of the season.

Derby academy product has over 80 Champ apps and over 100 L1 apps.

Out of the blue

 

It’ll be interesting to see where he fits in. Derby fans don’t rate him as an attacking midfielder and some think he’s better suited to a LWB role:






With Neufville out of favour and Halliday not offering the same attacking threat it wouldn’t surprise me to see him slot into the back 5.

 

So is Tyreik, not that it does him much good!

 

Each new signing deserves his own thread

 

A slightly better version of Lapslie

 

They both play right side, they're talking about him being left footed
