Arsene Titman reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Summer Rumour Mill
There have been very few reliable links to players. Warne was quoted as wanting to add Roberts to the squad, he looks to be going to a championship club so fair play to him. I’ve done a quick check of the other names I can recall us being linked with via varying levels of social media accounts and the press;
Clark Robertson is joining a team in Israel. So that’s one more. Sean Clare? He hasn’t signed anywhere yet. Wes Harding? He’s still a free agent. Alfie May? He’s still a Cheltenham player. Lee Bonis? He’s still playing in Ireland. Sonny Bradley? He’s still a free agent. Aden Flint? He’s still a free agent. Callum Elder? He’s still a free agent. Harvey Knibbs? He’s still a free agent.
So of the names linked so far, we look to have missed out on Haydon Roberts and Clark Robertson. Knight and Bielik might be sold, that was sort of to be expected, but they are currently still contracted. David McGoldrick is allegedly in negotiations with us and Notts County, currently he is still a Derby player until 30/06. The transfer window doesn’t open until 14/06 and all the noise regarding recruitment to come out of the club at the end of season suggested they had a clear list of targets and were working on securing those players. I am unwilling to lose faith in the club and its processes this early in the summer based on a couple of players moving elsewhere and unsubstantiated rumour. It’s really not as bad as some people seem to think.
EDIT - please don’t see this as “being jumped on or abused” I am looking to present some balance and logic to the argument, that’s all. If anyone can counter this point with evidence of us losing out on a load of targets and the prospects for next season being grim then I’ll happily consider that perspective.

Summer is going swimmingly then, McGoldrick off to Notts County and Roberts not signing.
Can't beat a good old fasioned Derby County transfer window 😆

I think we should buy his brother and then we could all sing Frere Xhaka. Ok. I’ll get my coat.

We can moan about decisions all we want but the simple fact is this game should have been put to bed in the first half. Nobody to blame for that but ourselves.

Sounds encouraging in terms of potential easing of restrictions on transfer dealings for next season.

Arsene Titman reacted to Caerphilly Ram in Peterborough United vs Derby County
Your obsession with Dobbin is really really strange. Same for other people who look to single him out time and time again.
He’s not the reason we lost, he did as much or as little as any of the other forward players yesterday. It is a team game, Dobbin has already had a part to play for us this season and will again before the season ends. Very much in the same way that NML, Barkhuizen, McGoldrick and Collins do.
For the 50th time, we know he isn’t the best player in the world, his finishing is erratic, but he has pace and directness that puts opponents on edge and he can (as he has done a few times) chip in with an assist or a goal. To hope that Warne no longer uses a player in the squad who has a couple of different assets compared to his colleagues makes no sense, whether you personally like him or not.

Don’t agree. A few dissenting voices many of whom didn’t want him in the first place, but the majority are with him and he’s miles away from being under any pressure from Clowes. He’s basically got this season and all of next season to get us back up. Personally I think he’ll do that no problem then his real test will be can he get us challenging at the top end of the championship.
While we all want to get out of this league ASAP anyone spitting their dummy out if it doesn’t happen this season needs to remember where we’ve come from.
Ive ordered my bobble hat now so I’m on board!! ?

Very helpful. I drive to the hotel,have one pint of lager at 2p.m. and walk to the ground at 2.30. I watch the game, including having a half time coffee, walk back to my car and drive home.

Football is made for nights like this. Seemed like it was destined to be a bad day at the office. I am so pleased Port Vale were prevented from the double over us, that'd been hard to take to give 6 points to such a limited one dimensional team. Their gameplan was clearly to wind our players up, be in the refs ear all game trying to get players booked, waste time and generally s**thouse us. And it very, very nearly paid off for them so probably the right tactics for them.

Arsene Titman reacted to TomTom92 in Chrissy Martin
Not for me, I know Collins and McGoldrick are both over 30 but for me they both work hard with the added bonus that DM is a superb technician.
I think being a hard working striker is top of the attributes when it comes to playing in a Warne side.
If the choice is Martin or nobody then of course I’d take him for an extra body and the nostalgia. However, I would be pursuing all other options before coming to this conclusion.

Arsene Titman reacted to angieram in Forest Green Rovers (H) Sat 17th Dec
As well as illness FGR have their two big scorers from last season returning from injury. Matt came on as a sub but clearly not fully fit and Stevens didn't get on, again not fully fit. Their best winger was out of contract and went to Barnsley close season and their manager was poached by Watford (and typically sacked shortly afterwards.)
They are a small but honest club located in the middle of nowhere who I have a lot of time for.
I felt for them today.
We were good, if not quite at our best, and the gulf in class was obvious. But they didn't resort to kicking and cheating tactics, as many other teams have done.
I hope they find their feet and enjoy the rest of their season (one more game against us excepted!)

Arsene Titman reacted to Comrade 86 in Krystian Bielik - Joined Birmingham on a 3 year deal
I dunno. There's more charitable men than me on this forum then, as I can't help but resent the glaringly obvious lack of affinity he has for a club that's paid him big dollar through two prolonged sets of rehab, then let him wander off to chase a WC dream. I don't expect him to stay given his lofty ambitions, but for the last few months he's been talking like he's already left.
I understand his aims, so please resist the urge to sermonise me, but if an employer looks out for me and even when simply contracted, some have, then some gratitude at least would not go amiss, if loyalty is too much of a stretch. Gimme a Fozzy over his ilk any day.

In Dublin's Fair City, Where the girls are so pretty, I first set my eyes on sweet Molly Malone, As she wheels her wheelbarrow, Through streets broad an narrow, crying
Clap, clap, clap-clap-clap,
clap, clap, clap-clap "Derby"
