Completely different player and situation but look at how Akpom was written off then the season he had last year, if every player had a team of the season year they wouldn't be signing for a league 1 team, I'll judge him in a rams shirt, welcome to Derby 🐏

Some clearly don’t like Warne …no matter what …I’d hate to be sat anywhere near them though at a game …it’s bordering on a kind of hatred and I find that difficult to comprehend at times …
would you rather have someone managing our club who’s closed and unfriendly? How many managers would go and watch a player who’s left the club for his boyhood club? He’s a decent man even if he’s not a success he’s a decent bloke 
I thought Cocu was treated poorly by some fans and was embarrassing to hear at times …Cocu was a gentleman and our first ever foreign coach but some couldn’t wait to kick him like they enjoy it but when he left he left with dignity and didn’t seek big compensation nor did his team of coaches 
let’s give Warne a chance at least without looking into every angle and seeing a negative ffs 

Anyone else notice Bristol City was on his mind? 

Hello, my name is Jake and I recently created this account as I would like to make some new friends with other Derby County fans. I am from the US and have been a football fan for nearly my whole life. It is what comes with being brought up in a Latino household lol. Anyway I was initially drawn to English football, the premier league specifically, of course but never had any allegiances until around 2016. That is when I decided that I would support Tottenham of all teams LOL. Years passed and my passion as a Spurs fan died down and during that time period I became very entrenched in football. I would consider myself to be a football fanatic as I follow the 5 major leagues in Europe along with some of the other bigger leagues (Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal etc.) as well as the leagues in South America and Liga MX. As my Spurs fandom died down over the years and my knowledge of football began to expand I began to pay a lot of attention to the other 3 leagues in the English Football system and that is when I discovered Derby. I have to be honest I mainly became interested because of the badge and how much I like rams as animals haha. Anyway I began to start following Derby more recently and want to learn even more about the club as an outsider from across the pond and would love to meet fellow Derby fans who I can talk football with and learn more with. Not sure exactly how this whole website works, but feel free to leave comments about anything, I would love to have some cool conversations! 

A very good, highly reputable appointment. Perception plays a huge part in football and a hire of this magnitude should ease some minds that the academy is looking to progress and the club is willing to invest - despite our League One status. 
He still has to prove he’s a good appointment, of course, but good work by the club to get him in.

Used to run Southampton’s academy…impressive move 

Who said we we’re ever in for him other than a little very level “linked with” claims
if derby had gone knocking for him id bet my house, mortgage and kids he wouldnt be lining up for oxford next season.
sounds arrogant but in my book its how it is plain and simple 

Don't know anything about him, got a proper footballers name though, sign him up.

I'd be pretty disappointed if he was choosing to leave us after having an offer from us, didn't he say he was close to retiring and we gave him a bit of a lifeline? 

There ya go B4! 😄

Played for Duffield Dynamos, so comes with great pedigree.

I downloaded Wyscout for a trial run to see if it’s something that I would find of interest so did a little bit of a deep dive on the players we have been linked with so far. 
Anyone that knows the Wyscout platform will already be aware it’s an absolutely fascinating and groundbreaking tool for scouting players and teams. 
The most notable data point I came away with was that Ruben Rodrigues made the most ‘smart passes’ in the country last season with 131. A smart pass is defined as: A creative and penetrative pass that attempts to break the opposition's defensive lines to gain a significant advantage in attack.
To give you a reference point of just how high that is, not a single player in League Two had more than 40. Chaplin and Bannan ran away with it in League One with 58 each, third had 39. Mendez-Laing had 16 as our best midfielder in that regard, Knight second with just 12. The app also clips videos of several different indicators for each match - 40 minutes dedicated to just Ruben Rodrigues touches, 175 videos. He’s a talented football, a little bit of a grafter and based on what I’ve seen I would be surprised if he didn’t make the step up comfortably. The only reference point that I felt fell short was his impact on the counter attack, but he’s definitely got a bit of physicality. I think with a full, professional pre-season then he genuinely could be a diamond at this level. 

This is the lad Eric Steele has been banging on about saying we should sign. Looks a real player and someone who deserves his shot at a big club. Could be a great move. Doesn’t matter that he’s 29, he could be a late developer and make an impact at a high level later in his career, with the right attitude and hunger to do well he’s probably got 3 good seasons left in him. We will be signing players 29-30 and 30+ this window, the majority need to be 22-28 but doesn’t mean they all need to be. Hope we get him 

Someone who's scored 43 goals in over two seasons in league one in a poor side is exactly the type we need.
Warne says he wants players between 25-30 and whilst he's at the top end of that he can clearly finish. We more than likely will be playing a 352 next season so we need at least 4 strikers and having 2 of last season's top scorers in the ranks will surely be a good thing.
We're in League One and we need good league one players and he's one of them.

2 successive years of 20goals in a pretty average L1 team seems decent unless I’m  missing something.

He's just a rascal 

He'd be an ideal signing and has always looked a pretty obvious target for us, quick, physical, capable of playing in a 3 or a 4, previous L1 promotion winner and worked with Warne & Co previously.

He's just a rascal

I think it's all what could've beens with alot of the academy if Mel didn't self destruct. The likes of Liverpool, palace etc aren't going to be interested if they're not good players. Had they been given a chance to develop further here they might've had more first team football. I think agents have alot to answer for with them pushing players into clubs too soon just for a quick wage rise and a fee for them.
