Tom Glick, Derby County's CEO and new Director of football after the departure of Adam Pearson is in a race against time to secure the services of Leicester Striker DJ Campbell (28) before the 5.00pm deadline later today (Thursday 26th November). It is thought that Campbell if loaned will stay at ride Park until January on a Months loan.

Rams manager Nigel Clough has said that Tom has been "working on it (the loan signing of Campbell) for a few days". This is the first time that Glick has been closely involved with negotiations for a player in football, although he has been involved in similar situations in American baseball and other sports.

Glick has had competition for Campbell's signature from fellow Championship strugglers Sheffield Wednesday but it is thought Campbell may want to stay in the East Midlands. He also sees his chances of playing, rather than sitting on the subs bench, higher at Derby County.

If the signing is completed today, this will take the Rams loanees to five, the maximum any team can have in the squad of 18 players on a match day. The Rams already have Jake Livermore, Paul Dickov, Lee Hendrie and Fredrik Stoor on loan...
