Do we honestly think PW and team watched and assessed Ward and thought ‘He’s a bit average but we’ll have him anyway?’
They will have seen potential and an attitude they liked. He has pace and, I suspect, fits into their plan.

On paper it's a good signing and ticks all the boxes as a right wing back in a 3-5-2.
I'll judge his performances in a Derby shirt myself rather than rely on Posh fans, thanks. I've seen enough decent Derby players getting hammered by our own fans to not rely on other people's opinions.

Welcome to PP Joe, hope you have a great career here in Derby COYR 🐏🐏

Has anyone painted the corner flag?
Needs to look pretty for all those photographs 😊

I know it's likely we'll lose him but I'd genuinely be sad to see him go. I'd rather lose Sibs than Knighty. He's 1 of the only players that you know week in and week out will put in a shift and give us an option pretty much everywhere on the pitch. He might not score as many goals or have the tricks of some, but he does all that dirty work to allow the technical players to work their magic. 
He will be a big loss imo. But I guess my sentiment is down to him being 1 of a few here that deserve to see good times with us after all the drama of the last couple years. Proper good kid and an absolute credit to himself, his family, us as a club and what we stand for.
 
If he does go, he will be a great model employee for any football club. Never complains, just does what he's told for the team, and always does it 100%.

You’re right. We don’t currently have anyone who can casually lift one leg and lick themselves.
Timmy the dog is pretty agile too 😊

Yes, it has annoyed me this morning, hearing how the declaration was reckless etc, etc.
This isn’t trad cricket. This is the new era.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Those who don’t like it can, in the words of Extreme, get the funk out.
 

I think it would make sense to wait and see what happens with Knight and Bielik. No point buying bargain basement players now when we could potentially pay a little for quality later in the window.

Thought I'd share this, only an opinion piece/suggestion from FLW, Mendes-Gomes who was on loan from Luton at Fleetwood last year possibly available. Scored against us in a game that we've probably all tried to blank from our memories. Not sure where he'd fit if we were going with wingbacks next year but seems a good player 

Was given permission to share this.

Slight differences 
we were under an embargo and heavy restrictions last season so were severely hamstrung on what we could offer… common sense suggests that if we didnt land our limited range of targets it was due to financial constraints as much as anything.
January is also notoriously difficult window to deal in, warne said that, every manager says that. He also said that “one of the targets had gone back into his clubs first team picuture … which is a shame, cos hes a good player” 
But obviously u keep bashing warne and fitting whatever story around your agenda against him
Can i ask u a question?
would u rather warne went out and with a scatter gun appoach and buy 7-8 players straight off the bat to plump up the squad and appease the moaning minority that want transfers now.
or would rather he took his time and got players that are the right fit for the club and will represent good value, some of whom might not be available yet??
this isnt championship manager u know….theres no “oh that didnt work ill flog that group of players off in the january and bring in a load of cheap Norwegian superkid regens”

Bristol is a great city and City are the dominant side there - they have decent potential. I can see why Knight would be open to a move there. They have a relatively low turnover for a championship side (£16.5m) whereas ours all ranged roughly £30m in our most recent published accounts - there’s a good chance our revenue in league one is higher than there’s in the championship- obviously they’re doing ok with player sales to inflate that budget and their chairman is happy to plug the big losses every year. 
Derby have a lot of work to do before they get up to Bristol City again, as we know our current owner can’t afford to take the losses of the Bristol owner can so financially at best for us, it’s a level playing field. Knight probably gets a contract he wants with us IF we get promoted, but Bristol can give it him now.
In terms of wage bills, ours sat below £8m last season and Bristol City’s was £26m - down from £30m the year before. A little over three times what we’re paying out at the moment. If you’re a player and an agent then you take that into consideration. Yes, now the restrictions are lifted and following promotion, the landscape will be very different - I do struggle to see us spending anywhere near £30m on wages under this ownership model though. A takeover or outside investment would need to happen for that.

I absolutely loved Succession. I agree that there were some dips in the last series, but there was also some stuff which was superb. One episode in particular was so good, I barely breathed!
I’ll miss the characters and the standard of writing. If you love witty series and you want to learn some fantastic put downs, this is the series for you.

Not really 

It’s not Paul Warne or the club’s job to manage our anxieties. People should be able to look at the information that is out there, listen to interviews like the one from the end of the season and this one today, and apply some common sense to the fact the business and sporting institution that is Derby County needs signings in order to compete this season. Therefore trust the people who own and work within that business will know that too, and will be working on it.

For the millionth time… Just because we haven’t announced a signing yet doesn’t mean we aren’t working on some. 

I’m afraid I have side with @Jimbo Ram rather than these ITK fantasists.
For the record I know all five, but I can only offer that they’ll be outfield players, or possibly goalkeepers, and I will confirm whether they are correct just after they are announced.
