Derby strengthen

BBC report that Derby's transfer of Kenwyne Jones from Southampton will go through in "the next couple of days".

This would be a good move for Southampton and Derby; the front pairing of Earnshaw and Jones will cause a lot of problems to some Premiership team's creaking defences, but crucially, will seriously help them in next season's Championship, should they go down.

Buying quality, young British players will help Derby; a lot of teams have wasted money on foreign imports, but Billy Davies is clearly building a solid team for the future - he worked miracles at Motherwell and built a strong team there which continues to keep them up. Whether it's enough to keep them up this year is anyone's guess, but they should be an established Premier League team in the next five years.

If West Ham and Bolton continue to struggle, you just never know who's going down... Aside from Wigan, obviously.
