Sometimes you can become too reliant on one person, to the detriment of the team. Didzy didn't do so well against the better teams, was that because they knew that had to concentrate on only one player, whereas if our threat comes from multiple sources, even the better organised teams would struggle to compete against that.

Not true, as Knight is one of our academy products, as long as we offer him a new improved contract next year, we will be entitled to compensation decided by an independent body, if we can't agree a price with his new club.
Many factors contribute to this compensation figure including international caps, appearances for Derby and at what level, details of the new contract offered, etc. This applies to players under the age of 24. Once it goes to the independent panel, their decision is final and neither the buying nor the selling club can pull out of the deal.

According to various sources, the fee is £1.5m. This for a player 3 years older than Knight and no senior Irish caps compared with Knight's 20 caps. As a result of his age, he would have been free to leave for nothing next year, where Knight's fee would be set by tribunal.
These facts point to Knight commanding a fee greater than the £1.5m we've been hearing. But Peterborough have a knack of receiving good fees for their players, whereas Derby don't.

We look at last season's places for next season's competitors, but you can almost guarantee that one of the play off teams will be mid table team this coming season and that one or two will be 'surprise' contenders like Plymouth last season.

Something we need to remember when slagging off other places and accents, is that Rams fans come from far and wide and can get offended by fellow Rams attacking their home and culture. I am born and bred just outside Brum, like ANY big town or city there are places that are not pleasant, but these are matched by some very nice areas and people. How many Rams fans on here born and bred in Nottingham, cringe at the repeated comments about their folk being inbred and having 6 fingers and the level of crime in their area?
I've been fortunate enough to go to Vancouver and Melbourne (Australia), 2 places frequently in the best places to live in the world. But I happened across areas in both, just off the tourist route, which were as bad as anything in Brum.
Let's think twice before slagging off other places and/or people, please.

Depends whether we need to get the money in before we can sign a key player, who we might miss out on?

He's not dropping out of anywhere, he was released by Hull so didn't have a club! 
Looks a solid signing though. 

Now that we're up and running, do we need to change the title to something like 'New Signings'?

You say let’s wait and see, yet you seem unwilling to do so yourself by making statements about Warne’s approach to recruiting, before you’ve even seen the calibre of player. You could of course be prove correct, but there’s no evidence yet either way 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
McGoldrick left for his own reasons, he has stated that, Warne has stated that, his new club have stated that. It seems very clear from all parties involved that despite Derby and Warne’s efforts to convince him to stay, McGoldrick took his own decision to play for his boyhood club, what is it about that you think Warne could have changed? 
In your opinion Warne has got it backwards, and in his opinion he wants players willing to be part of a cohesive unit that can also play the style of football he wants. NOWHERE has he said he won’t recruit good footballers, he’s said they need to be both good footballers AND good people.
There are countless examples of talented footballers through the years, arguably more talented than anyone else they’ve played with, whose attitudes stank their clubs out. We had a very famous example on our books a couple of season back. I would rather have a group of solid, capable players motivated to play for the shirt and the fans week in week out than the likes of Ravel Morrison, or an Adel Taraabt who have all the talent and a stinking attitude towards the team. Ravel looked like perhaps he’d finally found a home here and was going to finally disprove all that had gone before regarding his attitude….then he didn’t, and at the first opportunity he jumped ship. One bad apple and all that….
Again, I’m looking past who Warne is and focused on what he’s saying. You don’t like the bloke, cause he wears a hat, or makes bad jokes, or came from a small club, or whatever the reason. What he’s currently saying makes some sense, recruit good players who can represent this club in front of a big crowd and work hard for one another in order to bring success. What is it about that you don’t like? 
 

I would think that PW is likely to replace Didzy, Davies, Stearman and Chester with 4 players capable of playing 90mins in every game this coming season. Those 4 signings will not increase the overall squad numbers but will increase the individual match day squad players available, when compared with last season.

Added to that, they'll have a much reduced income because of lower attendances and the loss of around £6m of central revenue.

That’s a bad take. Let’s look at what was actually said rather than another heavily opinionated assumption 
Wanted:
“We need the players that can play in the league above and have got a bit of experience
I want the players that will make big sacrifices and are fully determined for success.
We need players that are prepared to learn and believe in the team more than themselves.
They have to be good footballers, good athletes and they have to buy into the way we play, the way we press and the energy we want from a team.
Also and this is a lot different to a lot of teams in our league - they have to be able to play in front of 30,000 people.
It's a psychology more than a physicality for me. I'm not here to break players but I am here to push boundaries and to try and get more out of the team.
We're trying to make them physically resilient for a 10 month season but a lot of that comes from mentality.
From that, hopefully you can build a squad and a team that are exciting to watch.”
Ignore how Warne says things and look at what he’s actually saying, he wants hard working and capable footballers who know what it means to play for this club and will put the team effort above themselves, what about that is such a bad thing?! From those quotes I’d say it’s more like; 
Wanted - football players with the ability and mentality to play for a well supported club planning to push for promotion. Must understand this is a team sport and all members of the squad will play a part in shared success. The plan is that the team will play with a high press, which means physicality and athleticism will be part of our identity as will playing an exciting brand of football. Ability to put up with manager’s rubbish jokes and constant pestering are an added desirable requirement.
 

Remember what PW has said about the way he recruits players. Not only do they need to be a decent player, they also need to be a decent person, which he and the rest of the team, can work with.
A couple of names linked with us have good records, but according to someone I know in scouting, are less than desirable as a person and the club will steer well clear of these type of players, irrespective of how talented they are.
