All I know is Chris Martin as left Derby he was a great servant to the club but I'm getting fed up on these posts about him, his gone so please move on to Derby now. 
 

We'd get all excited if so only to be disappointed and find out we'd signed Gareth Hale 

Will be alright as the management 

Does he have any Pace? 

And Derby spotted of players who had a huge impact
Points in question....

Just to name a few but there are loads of Derby Success stories we have signed that got spotted and got better.
What everyone needs to understand is every signing is a risk. 
George Thorne was the greatest example of a known quantity who turned into a duff signing not because of talent or form but injury. 
Just because we don't know who these guys are doesn't immediately mean they're wonk. 
Cocu must surely have met loads of scouts from the continent during his playing days or at least knows of them via contacts he made with other players. 
Plus if he knew he was going into management he would have to create a network to help recruitment. 
We have to trust in the plan the management and owner are implementing. 
We've thrown money at some garbage players over the last few seasons who were supposed to get us promoted and here we still are. 
This is a fresh approach based around bringing the squad age down, actually using the academy to its best potential and trying to find the right players at the best price to fill the gaps in the squad. 
This goes all the way back to Billy Davies launching tons of cash at players to get us promoted then buying utter rubbish........followed by Jewel buying more rubbish. 
Cloughie was told to cull the squad then Mel stepped in and we started throwing cash around yet again to no avail. 
Not only is the focus on the first team but also a complete rethink on how we're run as a club. 
I welcome the idea of looking further afield than Scotland the lower league or expensive Premier league squad players. 
 

Class post. ??
 
we simply have to stop looking 2 feet in front of us and start looking at a large scale map.
I do think that when this window closes Cocu will have had a good roll of the dice and will need to show an improving team but   
what that means in terms of actual league position in the first full season I am not sure. ? 
I’d love it if we turn out to be play off contenders but if we end up mid table on an upward results curve then I am thinking ready for a promotion challenge next season - this surely has to be the KPI for Cocu in a long term plan.

I get that but really it’s never know question unless he turns out to be totally useless ,to be fair there’s never been much big interest / bids on Martin but Derby fans that watched him knew he was a fair player ,it’s just one of those opinion things ,always thought vydra was a hard working player ,others thought he wasn’t and offered nothing to the team if not scoring, all we can do is wait and see if he signs we will either say ahhh that’s what our manager saw in him for our team or blame him for getting a dud

Are you taking the weee we? ?

Let's just sign nobody then. It's much safer.

sad news today that the lead singer of Linkin Park, Chester Bennington, at age 41, took his own life. Whilst I don't consider myself a fan of them as a whole, I was proper into a couple of their songs, but that is by-the-by.
I hope all those that have contributed, and those that haven't felt comfortable enough to yet post on this thread are doing well mentally.
Remember, it's okay and normal to have feelings that go against what you're supposed to feel. Please talk to someone, anyone, even if it hurts! It's gonna hurt you a lot less to open up, than it would hurt your loved ones if you made a decision as drastic as Chester Bennington has.
I'll put this here, my (cyber) friend drew it, he's a cartoonist:-
 

It sounds like Mcness has a big West Ham following. As soon as the fight was stopped you could hear some commotion in the crowd that got gradually worse and BT went to an extended ad break. Frank Warren at the end of the show was calling on the authorities to take action as he thinks boxing should be more family friendly......
The last place I would take a family would be a boxing show on a Saturday night during the football off season.
