Andy Comyn type fees rather than Shaun Barker levels ?

Totally agree. I want to see us start building for the future, no more stop gap signings

Quite clearly b*******, but shouldn't be used as a stick to beat Washington with who has done ok for us on the whole. 

Yes feel free 🤣🤣

No miserable personas please ....
There are enough on here !!

If this is the pub by Spider Island being referred to, then it's long been demolished, and replaced with a shiny new Starbucks.  

1 good player is better than 2 average players.

I don’t think alarm bells should be ringing if we are willing to spend £250-500k. Let’s face it, this will be in exceptional circumstances, not the norm.
CBT’s career is trending upwards and he has shown himself to be one of the most productive attacking players in the league over the last 18 months.
Another five months of good form and being available on a free could put him out of reach.
We can’t afford to spend millions on the likes of Mason-Clark, Poku or Collins, so taking advantage of CBT’s contract situation makes a lot of sense. Strike while we can.

January is a tough window to get players  that will strengthen as we did the opposite this time last year. Don’t think there will be any movement until the last week of the window. You can look at the likes of Charlton who are strengthening but look where they are in table. We aren’t in the position to throw money at clubs and players. 
 
My hatred towards Stephen Pearce will never go but David Clowes will know the position we are in with Portsmouth faltering and Peterborough likely to lose a couple of players as well as their captain, patience is needed with signings. Extending Nyambe Cashin and NML’s contracts have been clearly outlined as the first objectives this window. 

As for transfer movement..CBT has to be the top target as Warne has identified and described him in so many post match interviews this season, needing more ‘pace’.  I wouldn’t be against Michael Smith on loan as Warne gets the best out of him. A loan player from a PL club would be my guess if we fail signing CBT. A midfielder like Arblaster is exactly who we need as well. 
 
A very small positive is we are being linked/interested in the right players who would strengthen us, the hard part is obviously getting them in. No more Springetts or Harvery Whites. The club HAVE to get the signings right which is the why they are being patient and rightly so.
 

It’s a much worse division this season - the 3 teams better than us got promoted whilst two ok teams started with point deductions - has our football improved- not for me - yes our away form is very decent whilst at home nearly every game is painful to watch 

It’s a Starbucks 

10 + players of which literally 2 of them Nelson and Nyambe are regular starters so not sure the summer was exactly a massive improvement as you suggest 
we have needed players at the top end as PW puts it yet sign up Waggy and Washington who although arent bad players still come across as make do signings rather than must have signings I’m not being negative iM just pointing out that the window gets a lot of fans excited but in reality we can’t get the real game changing type of players that hopefully are on our list of targets over the line which is worrying if we can’t compete with the likes of Charlton 
 

I think this statement has caused some debate. I hope we don't get more "spewing bile" type statements (not from your good self I hasten to add), but I believe that the majority of those signings have NOT improved us overall.
I think Nelson, nyambe yes. Wilson on the cusp.
Ward, elder, Bradley, fornah, Washington, waghorn, TJJ no.,.. either through injury or ability.
Therefore, my head then says that if we can only afford a couple, the odds aren't great.
Just my view and obviously for debate.

DM @angieram she will spill the beans

But we need him to get out of this Division and if he had a decent defensive mid next to him he would look even better.

What have you seen Fornah do? Personally I haven’t hardly seen anything to include him in the matchday 18 and I expect not to be with us in a years time 

Wow. 

I think if we continue with a 3 then Fozzy instead of Bradley.

It’s both. Fozzy at CB might help

Wouldn't put it quite like this but I do agree with Roy here.
Max looked fantastic under Cocu, Rooney, Rosenior - he flourished in technical sides where he's going to have time with the ball. Warneball does not suit him at all. Feels a little bit like Rowett/Hughes again.
That's not necessarily a criticism of Warne's style. It benefits some players over others. Sadly, Max isn't one of them.

Tier 32 , geez when did that happen, Is this Gibson again.

It’s the Derby way - get a player who has something to offer, then only let him offer it in fits and starts, then drop him or play him out of position. Just how many players gave we seen this happen to?

NML needs a rest. He was knackered against the Posh. He's had a good season thus far but against Posh he was ineffective going forward and failed to track his man on several occasions including in the lead up to their first goal. Hourihane needs a rest too. 

We saw last season how NML needs to be rested.  He now needs a proper break then a period of being used more sparingly. If Warne perseveres with him, he’ll disappoint or worse get injured
