I’ll be wanting everyone in black boots next …..😜

XG? 😜

Kazak you say?

No point spending that sort of money on a position that I wouldn't call a weak point.
Save the funds for positions where we need it.

Rated as one of the best keepers in the Championship and part of that was the 177 saves he had to make (& the 158 he had to make the season before). Both times significantly ahead of the next closest.
To put it into perspective Wildsmith made 80 this past season. 
A very good keeper but find it difficult to see us spending £900k on a keeper - can only imagine fees like that will be reserved for midfielders and strikers.

good job you don't run the club alarm.

Surely nonsense and conjecture?
Suspect we’re ‘interested’ in the same way we might be interested in Erling Haaland if he was available. 
He’ll be far too expensive for us and be looking to the Premier League or a contender therefor.


 
 

I just can’t see us getting anywhere near 900k for a keeper, albeit a young full international.

It’s semantics until we know the reasons IF and when Wildsmith leaves though right?  We’re not “letting him go” if he chooses to leave, and we don’t yet know that he is leaving. Didn’t someone on Radio Derby say he’d had a contract offered and not signed it? And then also @angieram (I think) said Wildsmith himself said there’d been no contract offer….the plot thickens.
 
I’m torn between this being a lazy link that was inevitable this summer or there actually being something in it. 

No way we would blow all our budget on a keeper. Now if there was a forward available at 900k...

They're not in Administration and they've got hugely wealthy owners. They'll survive. When they took the piss out of us, we were on the brink of oblivion and their taunts must have made some of our more vulnerable fans even lousier, so I think we're allowed a bit of schadenfreude at their expense.

He has four years left in his contract as well.  

I would normally be with you on this.  I usually feel some compassion -as we have all been in their shoes.  But having been on the train between Derby and Birmingham after the 2022 match with the repugnant BCFC fans, they deserve all they get.  
 

Ha Ha Ha 🤣

This also resulted in Smith playing some of his best football with us.

I didn’t particularly rate him when he first came. He provided balance and was immense as a screen but gave the ball away more than he actually won it.
But as soon as Smith came back in it changed.
Smith was the one sitting a little deeper, picking passes from deep and keeping things tidy.
This allowed Adams to start rampaging forward. He was still the steel of the midfield but he was using his energy to get forward as well as just putting his foot in.
Just something I noticed.

“The Robert Maxwell toilet”

Vegas is going to be messy isn’t it. 

Sign him up for this alone….
