Well I’m in the 0-5 bracket so probably the worst £62 I’ve ever spent. But you’ve gotta be in it to win it as they say

BREAKING NEWS.... no new kit this year, lads have been told to turn up in any white top at home games and got some orange bibs for away games. 

 

Can we make them pink bibs just for fun?

Been told Bradley has until Thursday to make his decision. Personally if it’s a shootout between Flint or Bradley I’m taking Bradley every single day of the week. But I’d also like us to try sign Di’shon Bernard released from Man U 

Agree with this.

I asked in the club shop on Friday and they're expecting the new kit for sale in early August.

Seems a bit odd to miss out on the holiday season, but with the store being ran by Fanatics, I wonder how much the club actually get from shirt sales.

That’s seems a bit bonkers if so

I wonder if we’re after any players that are currently away on international duty in the Gold cup. There’s a few decent players there. Di’Shon Bernard for one that I’d rather bring in than a 34 year old CB. Pretty sure he’s still a free agent aswell. 
 

Hopefully it’s soon. It’s nice to get a new kit for the friendlies and to wear on holiday!!

There’s been quite a few forwards rumoured/mentioned. I would imagine we will look to sign a couple of strikers at least.
 

With that in mind. Which 2 would people want us to bring in?

I will be going, haven't got my ticket yet though. I’d much rather watch a team play against the likes of Darren Bent and Adam Bolder etc and not Stoke. 

I’d say as Paul Warnes has stated he wants 1, 2, maybe 3 attackers then no 

I’ve never been less twitchy 

Far too many stats being banded about with too little context. A number on a page means nothing without a hundred other variables that can’t be factored in

Why are we a “shower”, if you don’t mind me asking?

In the past then yeah, fair enough. But we’re 1 year into the biggest rebuild we’ve ever faced and a lot of effort is being put into it by Clowes & the boardroom, as well as Warne & the coaching staff. To just dismiss it as a “shower” is pretty disrespectful to all that work so far.

He’s talking about Bristol

I don't get this whole saying goodbye thing. We're not bothered. He's not bothered. What's the point? 

A Fozzy who's been here a decade yeah fair enough, a Knight or Bird who's come through the academy, OK, I get that... 

But some fella who barely played for us and jumped in our hour of need, nah, not necessary 

I’m bothered, my sons bothered, and I’m sure other Derby fans are bothered. Don't speak for me. He’s the best footballer we had, but sadly his wages was crippling us from mad Mel’s era. 
 

Im sure if he was on £8k-£10k a week he wouldn’t be going anywhere

Yippee, Chris Martin is back

If it was Chris Martin it’d be horizontal not vertical 

Wonder whether we’ll see some random foot or third leg edited on the training photos

I can never understand why it's those three getting all the criticism when it was other areas of the pitch letting us down. 

Particularly up front. Despite McGoldrick's goals.

I think it’s just down to the fact that Bird and Knight in particular are 2 players that have had interest shown in them by other clubs. Some believe they should be sold to fund a rebuild in areas we are short ie attackers, and some believe we should keep them as they are good players.

As we don’t know what funds are available for buying players, these are the only way people can see us generating funds for the required rebuild.

If other players had interest shown in them I’m sure we would all be debating their worth for either staying or being sold

He said 'No' to a £500k bid. Maybe we bid £400k? 😄

Or £550k

I think too many people give too much credence to B4 and his player valuations

Are we really freeing up Transfer money from a Bielik sale if we still owe this money to Arsenal?

To me, all we are doing is taking the wages off the books.

Good point, but I’d imagine that any future funds owed would have been accounted for at time of takeover as there’s no guarantee of selling him or anyone to cover those costs

when was the last time we actually have seen a proper set of accounts? it must be almost 4 years now ?

 

pretty shocking that we have no idea what state the club is in financially

I would imagine that after coming out of admin 12 months ago and the EFL relaxing the restrictions on us and being allowed to buy players again we’re in a decent position financially 

Does he have a beard?

Cheers, only got to the MK Dons away league game so will have to consider it 

A lot of people keep saying collins had a bad season, but then say we need more people chipping in with 10+ goals. Didn’t he do just that? 

I don’t see the point unless you’ve been to lots last season so already in a high tier. 
 

To buy one from scratch now, would it really make a difference?

I’m just asking the question. As a lot of grounds have smaller capacities in this league.
