has returned from his summer break in superb condition. This is according to Rams boss John Gregory.

The 31-year-old Italian striker has been asked by Gregory to “make me pick you” a statement that Ravanelli looks set to try and attain.

Derby County who are rumoured to be over £30million in debt, had tried to off-load Ravanelli in the summer to save on his £40,000 wages.
However with no club coming in with a reasonable offer for the “white feather” Derby must now hope and pray that he can produce the form that saw him score 33 goals in a year long spell at Middlesbrough in 1996-97 season.
