Peterborough not won in 3 league games now 😬

His pass to Bird was a gift from the Gods, to be fair.

Are you a joke?

What would be looking at now? If it was £4million or whatever in the summer, and if he continues his good form for the rest of the season, are we looking more towards 10? 🤷‍♂️

Surely we have to be working on Sibley and Thommo's extensions too? Even if it is just to sell them in the summer.

Huge news. Now even if he does leave in the summer, we should be able to get a really good wedge of cash for him.

I can't WAIT for Warne's pre-match presser. Sibley's was uploaded yesterday (probably means he'll be starting), so Warne's should be with us this morning.

OK off you pop then

I completely agree. But I suspect the intention was to save money in this window ready for the summer, when we're supposedly free from any and all restrictions.

I think it's clear Thomas' focus has been on the summer IMO - 'just sign an experienced striker to see us over the line this season and we'll go from there.' Unfortunately, that approach seems to have backfired tremendously.

Can't you just tell us?

Exactly - the communication has been f***ing awful. 'There are no restrictions'. Except there are. 'We're confident on getting a striker'. No striker... In fact, let's loan one out. Always over-promising and under-delivering. Fuming.

If we somehow manage to get promoted now, build this man a statue 🤣

On current feeling, 7th. Mirror image of last season.

Utterly embarrassing.

We have to consider suspensions when talking about Collins too, not just injuries. Just awful from us to not have any cover for him.

Sell the young, buy the old. The OAP revolution continues!

Only gone and made it - I'm on the receiving end of a snarky comment from Jimbo Ram!

I was originally told Wycombe but Peterborough now mentioned.

Do you know the other team? Are they currently in the top 6? Edit: Peterborough?

Yep he'll do. As @Eoghan1884 posted in the January Reinforcements thread, his defensive stats in the Champ are tremendous. Adams, Thommo, and Bird starting. Hourihane and Robinson on the bench. See ya later, Smith and Fornah.

Answers just off the top of my head. Probably missed some very obvious ones. A/ Which signing did you not like or was keen on but turned into a great signing in your opinion ? CKR. Everything I'm not a fan of in one signing - an aging journeyman striker with a pretty terrible goal-scoring record. Ended up loving him and he scored some crucial goals for us. B/ Which signing did you want so much yet turned out to be not so great ? Jozwiak. I loved that we were finally looking abroad and thought we'd got ourselves a proper gem. Flattered to deceive, to put it lightly. C/ who pound for pound for what we paid has been our best value for money signing ? Either Chris Martin or Craig Forsyth, purely for quality and longevity. Both integral parts of the best Derby team I've seen in my time. D/ who has been the worst waste of money I don't want to but I'm going to say Bielik. Superb player when he was fit but £10m for less than 50 appearances is horrendous value for money.

What is the point in our scouting department? What do they actually do all year?

Via the same source, Cashin to Brighton and Bird to Hull at the end of the season pretty much confirmed. Take these with a pinch of salt as these are secondary rumours.
