Some decent messages from Korey and Waggy. They did their bit, so appreciate them both.👍

The forum equivalent of ‘I have a girlfriend but she doesn’t go to this school and you won’t know her’.

Not Warne's biggest fan but I'm very encouraged by this released list. 
Will see who comes in now.
He clearly recognises we need an upgrade, hopefully he can deliver it.
 

Glad Barks and Tommo stopping on

Of all of the departures I think Korey Smith could’ve done a job in the champ. So that seems a bit disappointing. But I’ve no idea the reasons behind it.

Would’ve liked to have kept JW too, but that one was on the cards. All in all not bad. 

Wildsmith has been a great servant for Derby and I wish him well if we move on. I always felt that Warne was never completely sold and thought at this point where he wants to be paid as a Championship number one goalkeeper that it may play out in this fashion. 
The rest I’m really happy about as it means that we are going to strengthen across the board. There is merit in keeping Smith, Collins, etc but they aren’t impactful players at the next level and it takes up a squad place. Collins is on good money too, as I assume Smith may as well be too. It does allow us to shape the squad more so in Warne’s vision. 

If he’s going then personally I’m surprised. But providing we recruit well, I don’t think there’s a reason to lose sleep over him going.

Transparent about it too, to his credit. Said in an interview that he told the players before the last game that it would be the last time a lot of them played together.
Pro footballers have to roll with the punches as there's little room for sentiment in the modern game. That said, if all those cited as leaving do actually go, there'll be a good few I miss.

Good - no room for sentimentality!
We've got to do what we need to do to stay in this league and then some!

If it’s true it’s not much of a surprise, it was our weakest area along wide central midfield last season.
The only one that has the ability to step up to Champ as a regular rotation option is Gayle, but I’m not sure he’s got the legs for that level anymore.
We also have Wash contracted, so that’s another player who probably isn’t up to the level.
PW must have a couple of targets in mind if we are letting the above go. I’d speculate a permanent signing, a Prem loan and maybe a freebie depending on how we think Brown will do.

In resposne to this and an identicla post by @Shuff264... It's something I would certainly consider, with Nyambe being the main RCB option, but I don't think Warne will. We only played Rooney at RCB when we also had Mendez-Laing at RWB - it was essentially a back 4.
 
Reasonable assessments, but I would still argue they are some of the more likely options if we were signing any free agents from the Netherlands. I don't consider potenitally being in a relegation spot an indicator of a bad player. In the past, we've signed a few players relegated from the Championship when we were competing in and around the Playoffs.
I wouldn't expect any CB sigining to be a regular starter. Someone like Adewoye could be a starter against the less physical sides (such as Swansea), whilst usign Bradley against the more direct sides (such as Millwall)
I would certainly expect a better signing that Lamprou on the wings. Unfortunately, I couldn't identify many better wingers who would be likely to join us on a free. This'll most likely be a position we pay a fee for or find someone on loan.

So on May 2nd all good contract offered but then 2 weeks later it was remembered he had a bad attitude a few months back so they withdrew it? 

Now I do think we need to improve on Korey for this season, but an attitude problem?! What a load of s****. 

Purely seeking clarification on some inconsistencies of course, the doubt has already been cast by Simmo him or herself 🤣
We’re offering Burrows a contract despite him being under contract at Posh….
Smith had a bad attitude after being dropped, I wouldn’t interpret a 62nd minute knee injury in a game in November that kept him out until February as “being dropped”, and before then he’d played an active part in the side as well as coming back into the team after his injury… BUT maybe I’m mistaken in my interpretation 🤷🏻‍♂️ 

As of a couple of days ago, out of the 48 championship and league one clubs only something like 24 had released their retained lists so we’re not behind everyone, and what’s out there in the public domain isn’t necessarily evidence of what the club is doing recruitment wise as we saw with signings in Jan and last summer, a lot of them were kept well under wraps from media and social media accounts. 

Then Old Ben copies and pastes it on here 

Wayne Rooney is unemployed at the moment

So we’ve offered Burrows a contract despite him being under contract at Peterborough? Smart. 
Nothing gets Transfermrkt ITKs 

It's classic click farming stuff from the DerbyshireLive. I don't blame them for it, but this is how rumours start where there isn't any. Suddenly he will sign somewhere else and you'll have some fans claiming we missed out on a target and alike.

Not for me, feels a bit too short term, in a good position to build for the future now.
Feels like the squad is already top heavy with older forwards that we want rid of, why add another one?

I get quite a lot of viewers watching me making quiches in fetish gear.
 
I’m on Only Flans.

Tyrese Francois, a 23 year old Australian out of contract at Fulham this summer on loan at Vejle Boldklub in Denmark where we know we’re looking. Fulham have kept him around for the last few years giving him the odd game here and there. His defensive stats are incredible and is the 98th percentile for defensive actions. 

His defensive stats in comparison to Ebou Adams per 90 to show how good his stats actually are. He’s left footed so the two of them could actually play together pretty should we get them. 
 
Lots of positives about him as he knows the English game, works hard, is on a free and is at a good age with up side.
