  1. Can’t say I feel any enthusiasm whatsoever. There is a serious disconnect somewhere
  2. Yes absolutely bargain basement
  3. It’s much more damaging for 8 year olds to be getting idiotic instructions from the sidelines from parents who couldn’t play for toffee. Diddums if these 30 year old pros can’t take it
  4. If we were really serious about this we would get some quick business done.
  5. Its set up nicely for another damp squib draw at home in front of the TV cameras and a delirious away following isn't it
  6. 32 years old NO THANKYOU
  7. Two things 1. I'm not sure he will maintain his pace and fitness for 2 more years on top of this season 2. If we go up this season thats 2 years in the Championship. I'm not sure he would be a regular starter I accept though that maybe we couldn't get him to sign a 1 year extension because there were Championship clubs prepared to offer that or rather if that was all that was on the table he would take his chances in the summer I don't know. I'm not that bothered about it though, if the club think its the right thing to do then fair enough
  8. I think 2 years is a year too long to be honest. Sorry to be a bubble burster
  9. Obviously we should not over pay. But we have to be prepared to pay the going rate or we will get nowhere. I remain convinced that the answer is in finding players that not everybody else is also aware of. That means looking outside of people coming to the end of, or at the end of their contracts at Championship and league 1 clubs. Obviously that carries more of a risk but the people who really achieve in life are the ones that are prepared to back their judgement and take a risk
  10. I don’t think he loves Hourihane at all. He’s hooked him off quite a few times now. I just don’t think we have had better options. He will be replaced as soon as possible. Warne really rates Bird though and he would play ahead of Hourihane if we had another good attacking midfielder
  11. He won't come cheap for a club like Hull
  12. I'd rather it was news from the club. And as you say, about incomings not about such and such wanting to sign Cashin etc
  13. Remember the other player we were linked to that then ended up going to Charlton, Alfie May. I think is quite likely Warne was disappointed not to get him. Surely if we are interested we aren't going to lose out again?
  14. He’s already in our all time appearance list. Imagine how many appearances he would have made if he had not had those ACL injuries
  15. Yeah and John Gregory was vastly different to this unknown kid. He was a senior pro who had played about 250 games in the first division and an FA cup finalist
  16. I don't know but I think we should be finding our own players and then developing them like Peterborough do. If we do take a loan then the player has to be better than Bird, Fornah, Thompson, Hourihane, Smith and Sibley. If Warne and Thomas think he is then fair enough. Just seen Gabby's post above which he was obviously typing as I typed mine that gives ground for belief he might be a permanent signing, if so then great
  17. Cashin is also like Ross MacLaren. Thats where we are at the moment, Cashin is a third division player. However he does play like Todd and might one day get close to him. Toddy was much, much quicker though and used his pace. I read a book by Kevin Keegan who says 'Toddy was a 90 minute nightmare. He could out run you, out jump you and when he had got you thoroughly demoralised he would come at you with the ball' I don't think Keegan would have struggled with Cashin quite so much but he's getting there and its great to see. Great that we might not be selling him after all as well
  18. Doesn't seem like a top quality loan to me, just going on his track record. Would he be better than Harvey White? Would he be better than our current midfield options? Who knows. Could of course be just pure journalistic speculation and fabrication as Arthur used to say
  19. Warne has definitely earned the right to be given this season at least. If he wins promotion then he has earned the right to a crack at the championship as well, and provided he doesn't then get us relegated and we can see some progress then the following season as well HOWEVER that's all predicated on him delivering promotion. He must deliver promotion this season particularly as I expect he will be backed sufficiently in this transfer window to make promotion a reasonable expectation. If he doesn't then he should be replaced. I'm going to give him my full support and backing until the end of the season and see what happens, as we all should. For what its worth I'm quite confident we will in fact get promoted
  20. Absolutely hate it. Dirge in some sort of mockney accent has nothing to do with Derby County at all. Unfortunately somebody decided it should be our club anthem about 15 years ago or something and it has stuck.
