Ghost of Clough

Martin appears in every other thread unrelated to him, so we have to mention all other former players in the dedicated Chris Martin thread.

Has he signed yet?

The state of this thread.

I don't know what's longer, the amount of Chris Martin related posts over the last decade or the amount of pages you have to go through to find any relevant information 

They make up rumours. They linked us with 10 players in the summer and none signed.

2. Nugent (186)
4. Martin (166)
5. Whittingham (160)
7. Ince (146)
14. ??? (124)
16. ??? (121)
17. ??? (116)
=18. ??? (113)
=20. ??? (111)
 
Here a few few clues (in no particular order):
One was on loan and scored 3 in 10 games
One was with us for only half a season and scored 6 in 20
One never played for us in a Championship fixture.
One failed to score in his 14 games for us.
One was with us for 3 seasons and scored 26 league goals.

Marcus Tudgay or David McGoldrick? 

He's 14th with 124 (77 goals and 47 assists)

Dexter Blackstock, Shefqi Kuqi, Danny Graham?

The loan who didn’t score in 14 appearances will be Graham ?

Peter Whittingham probably on there as well. Wouldn't be surprised if every contribution was for Cardiff.

Nugent

Nugent's got to be one of them

Have we had Waghorn yet?

No. 71st with 78 (42 goals, 36 assists)
Bamford is =78th with 76 (61 goals, 15 assists)
Johnson is =149th with 60 (40 goals, 20 assists)
Russell is =158th with 59 (30 goals, 29 assists)
Butterfield is =177th with 56 (27 goals amd 29 assists)
2nd with 176 (121 goals, 55 assists)
Yep. See above
92nd with 73 (66 goals, 7 assists)
Jerome is 17th with 116 (83 goals and 33 assists)
Smith is =43rd with 90 (54 goals and 36 assists)
John is =108th with 68 (54 goals and 14 assists)
Hulse is =149th with 60 (51 goals and 9 assists)
Whittingham is 5th with 160 (82 goals and 78 assists)

I disagree with "coming". It should be "going".
 

In terms of top goal contributors whilst the Championship has been named 'Championship', 4 of the top 10 have played for Derby, and another 5 make the top 20. Want to guess at some?
2. ???
4. Martin
5. ???
7. Ince

No, definitely not.
He's suggested multiple podcasts solely on The Wardrobe

Got to love a hat trick! 
It's 3-1 at the moment.
 

The key thing is a lot of out players are versatile so we can adapt in a short-term injury crisis.
RB - Smith, Rooney, Chester, Mendez-Laing, Barkhuizen, Knight
LB - Sibley, Roberts, Springett, Forsyth, Barkhuizen, Mendez-Laing
CB - Forsyth, Cashin, Davies, Stearman, Chester, Rooney, Roberts
CM - Bird, Hourihane, Tommo, Knight, Sibley, Smith, Rooney
AM - Knight, McGoldrick, Sibley
RW/LW - Mendez-Laing, Barkhuizen, Dobbin, Springett, Knight, Sibley
CF - Collins, McGoldrick, Dobbin, Mendez-Laing, Barkhuizen
Any signings will have the squad versatility in mind, and the impact on the team as a whole if we're missing a couple of players who can play in a certain position. Therefore, there can only really be a maximum of 2 more signings unless there's an unexpected departure. They are a CF and RB. 
Getting a CF is very important and it would free up McGoldrick's availability to fill in at AM, in the event of Knight being needed elsewhere on the field. A CF who can also play on the wing would be an added bonus, as it would ease the impact of needing to drop a winger into the full back position.
We still don't have a recognised RB, but does it matter? Smith is doing a very good job in that role, but if he's injured it has a big impact on the team as a whole. We'd be forced in to fielding an inexperienced Rooney, hope Chester doesn't get injured (once he's back) or bring one of Knight/Mendez-Laing/Barkhuizen in to that position - a move which weakens our forward options. Getting someone in to be backup to Smith, would be difficult, so it would have to be someone who can also fill in at CB and/or LB.

Why's warne being so reticent? If there's someone out there like Ibahimovic, I say sign him up! ???

Cocu won the Dutch league title in 14/15, 15/16 and 17/18. Not the youth side.

No CBs either.
6 CMs (1 at CB and 2 on the wings), 2 wingers (1 at LB and 1 at CF)
