Derby County are certainly making up for lost time, with another three signings announced as they ramp up preparations for the new campaign. The East Midlands club are hurriedly trying to piece together a squad left ravaged by mass exits following relegation from the Championship.
Off-the-field worries, namely being in administration since last September, meant that no contract extensions could be awarded while the club remained in limbo.
Thankfully that issue has now been resolved after David Clowes completed his purchase of the club last week. They are no longer in administration and can once again bring players in but interim boss Liam Rosenior is up against it with just over three weeks until the season begins. Last Saturday saw five players commit for next season and another flurry was unveiled on the Rams' social media on Wednesday afternoon.
