Reports coming out of Pride Park suggest that Nigel Clough still has his eyes firmly on John Eustace as the midfield replacement for retired Captain Robbie Savage.
Clough wants some experience in the middle of the park after signing a mainly young set of players during the summer. Eustace has been a target for Clough since the season ended and follows a loan period for the Rams back in 2009, where he played 6 games and made three substitute appearances, scoring one goal.
Eustace is in his last season with Watford and may be one of three players Clough is still eager to sign before the seaon gets underway. Derby are said to be still wanting another striker and a left back in addition to Eustace..
