Maybe and this is a big maybe, clowes  Warne and the recruitment team have come up with this never before heard of concept at Derby which is to get an under performing player on the cheap, improve them and make them a better player and then sell them on for a higher fee in a few years.
Sensational idea I know. Seems to go directly against our previous policies of drastically overpaying for a poor player in a purple patch of their career, hope and pray they maintain that purple patch, realise early on they wont as they are pretty poor, sell for a massive loss or loan out paying all their wages a year later, then rinse and repeat over and over again.
Strange times we live in. Almost as if we have some sort of plan now.

Busy  hardworking striker. Puts himself about and works hard for the team. Sure the goal record isn't good. It's hard to see beyond that when dealing with strikers, however I always think strikers go to clubs and hit the ground running, other come to a club having been in a purple patch and flop. Nick blackman is a prime example.
There is no better time for a club with limited resources, as we still are, to get in a striker then when they are out of form, unwanted or failed to settle.
We are not at the stage in our rebuild where we can cherry pick 20 goal strikers for fees from clubs level or above us in the football pyramid. Gambles have to be made and Washington is certainly a gamble.
His work rate alone will endear himself to our fanbase. If we loved tito villa, we should idolise this guy.

It's too easy though.
"Players are rejecting us. PW has no pull. They are rejecting us after meeting PW"
**player signs**
"Oh they are crap. Old club didn't want them. Only here because they will run, hoof it and try hard"
It's easy this lark......

Well if they sell rice I think we should hold out for 50million......

Well done dcfc for getting the deals done. Thanks to bigTrav for sharing the info. Thanks for all other posters for a few laughs along the way.
If elder doesn't sign in the next 10 minutes I'm creating a thread hammering bigTrav.
I remember my mate who was a high up academy coach at crewe telling me we had signed Billy Jones from them along with leon knight, then at Brighton I think. 100% done deals. Signed, sealed, done. Posted that on the old DET site. never happened. He was astonished when it didn't go through. Said jones had said goodbye to players and coaches and told him directly he was going to Derby. Ended up at West brom.....

Back 3 of Bradley flint and cashin would be a really strong unit. Coupled with pacey wingback getting round on the cover.
I'm fed up of teams turning up at PP with 2 6ft4 cbs who win 99% of their battles and look like Bobby Moore against us.
We need some of that. Imo it's been why our away from has been poor for years. We need height and strength at the back at this level. They can head it, boot it, block it and pass it 5 yards to a better player if needed.

It's hardly gonna be Frost/Nixon.
"So Aden what are your thoughts on the current situation in the Ukraine and would you have any suggestions on how to tackle school shootings in America......"
"Er..... the training ground is premier league quality"
"Thats great, but what's you opinion on the crisis in Darfur?"

Plymouth won the league with more points than we’ve ever managed in our history. Their top two scorers got 13 goals & 12 goals respectively. For reference, James Collins got 11.
We simply don’t need to have a 25 goal striker to get promoted. Spreading the goals around more will do just fine, and it would be better to not be so reliant on one individual.
Ipswich had 2 of the top 8 goal scorers this season, but in the other 6 scorers, none got promoted. It actually indicates more that relying on one player to score the majority of your goals is more of an indicator of failure rather than success.

For someone who claims to be a Rams fan you seem to delight in portraying the Club, players and management in every negative light possible - why?
I'm guessing it may be because you think it gets you a certain level of notoriety on a football forum- sad!
