By complete and utter sheer luck, no. Did it make him look a complete ar5e? Yes.
Couldn’t care less about how he looks - as long as he keeps the ball out of the net, he can save it however he likes.
Is he up to Poom or Shilton’s level? No, but he is a better keeper than you give him credit for, and he’s certainly better than a fair few keepers in the championship… (including two at Derby)

Very much the 'tallest dwarf' award! Roos' 'save' from that 30 yarder against P'boro was frankly embarrassing. I honestly don't think he's good enough to be a professional goalkeeper, let alone one in the Championship - his positioning, anticipation, reactions and basically everything needed to keep goal was missing in that one moment. Shocking goalie. Anyway, as you were! ?
Did it go in?

If there are any spare gaps, I’ll gladly take one…

Close to St George's where he's doing his badges?
No idea, but his Twitter account says this…

He’s got a fair few coaching badges, so a good head in the dressing room…

The issue we have is that at the end of the season, we lose him for nothing.
Therefore, if we’re prepared to take that hit of whatever we can get for him now for one more season of him playing for us, then it might prove costly for us in monetary terms… however, losing him might be costly in playing staff terms.

I’d have Roos as our first choice this season.
He’s a much better keeper than Derby fans give him credit for and has all the attributes to play in a modern day style. However he strikes me as a confidence player, so we need to back him if he makes a mistake, rather than ironically cheer every time he catches the ball.

Mental to see the players who have left and the EFL will allow us to bring 4 in ?
In fairness, there aren’t 4 players who could be classed as regulars amongst that group.
Clarke, Wisdom and Waghorn. After that, it’s bit part players, and even Waghorn struggled to cement a place.
We just need to make sure that the 4 we do sign can be dependable 40 game a season types…

I think I have a sliding scale of every team from 1-92, so that I will always want one team to win when in a neutral situation.
That said, it’s often who I want to lose more that dictates my choice rather than the other way around.

Not that impressed with it but I don’t exactly stress over new kits.
£50 certainly puts me off buying one.
There’s no nod to the league winning kit there in my opinion.
Just release this and be done with it!
Never liked that kit, just because it was exactly the same as Etwall Rangers. Worst thing was they had it first!
-
Surely, it has to be this…
-
Maybe he could be the this season’s signing for a “Barker-type fee”?
-
Well, Italy have just made it to the final of the Euros with a couple of centre backs with a combined age of 70, so as a short term solution, they might just be able to do a job.
If they actually sign.

Sergio Ramos, Jerome Boateng and Messi all available on frees.
Just saying… ?
None of them need the cash and might want to help their mate out, however based on the rules, two of them might not get work permits! (That would be our luck, that they agree to join and then fail to get one!!)
-
How can we sign this guy?
Surely the new immigration laws have put any chance of bringing in foreign talent into clubs like ours down to zero.

The major issue for me isn’t the jurisdiction or the appeal, it’s the ongoing embargo that feels like it’s designed to strangle the club from moving forward.
With what will be a poorly delivered preseason, we’ll be scraping the barrel to bring players in who are fit to compete with 2nd Division standard players.
If wages are capped for us, then it’s shown that we can’t compete with the likes of Peterborough, never mind the West Brom’s of the division.
Until they introduce a salary cap like in the 3rd and 4th Divisions, we pretty much are swimming against a faster moving tide every year.
And we know that the salary cap will never come to fruition because the big boys in the top division will not like it and threaten to remove our share of the scraps.

Their major plus point is that they are in a division with the Jaguars and the Texans, who are both garbage.
Just do better than the Colts and they are in the playoffs.
The preseason game with the Titans at Atlanta might be interesting!

Sounds like Julio will be moving!

I hope he ends up at the Texans or the Jets, and the Falcons win the Super Bowl, however I think Derby have as good a chance of doing that than Atlanta next season!

Yeah new team takes on the remaining contract. It is possible to renegotiate a new contract at the new team, but it doesn't happen often. Team's aren't going to want to pay more, and players aren't going to want to get paid less, usually.
Depends on how much he wants to move somewhere where he can win.
His injury record isn’t that bad, and I think he might’ve played more last season if there was anything to play for.
I feel this may end up with the Falcons holding out for a first and waiting to see who blinks first, which might be us! (Plus if it is a top end team the first will be very much closer to 32 than to 1, one would expect)

Chris Hughton looks good for 62

Looks like he’s ready to be offered “a wafer thin mint”
