I wish fans would accept that Derby cannot "splurge" the cash anymore. It's only just over 12 months ago that we were on the verge of total oblivion - no ground; no players; no club - nothing whatsoever.
We've been to the edge of the abyss, looked in and we don't ever want to go there again.
I do not want to see an owner "splash" the cash and offer us dreams, then run out of money and see it all collapse.
If we have to buy players who are, by other club or division standards, "cheap" or loans, so be it, until the club is back on firm footing, without any embargos or EFL restricted business plans, when, perhaps one day, we can go back to trading players in the normal way.
David Clowes has a plan which he set out in his interview a few months ago, in which he hoped that Derby would be back, and competing, in the Championship within 5 years and if Derby have to remain in Division 1 for another season, I will accept that because I love my football watching my home town club Derby County FC.
Let's not get over excited about who may or may not be transferred, in or out of the club, in the next few weeks, because there is still 27 days to go before the transfer window closes on the 1st September.
Let the games begin - COYR's

Thought u meant like now .. but yes think bird will go.
he should be playing championship football imo

Mind you,they did get approx,£17m from the sale of Gyokeres

I had a good conversation with Mr Clowes yesterday and he talked about spending and ambition and then spoke about Lionel Pickering and said how he ended up virtually penniless and no one coming to visit him.
I don’t think he wants to be that guy.

From what i was told last night hes decided to join Derby. Obviously Blackpool were in. 

Report is standard manager talk for I'm not saying anything. At no point does he say Smith isn't going

I think they'll let him go regardless really. The fact they didn't bring him on tonight speaks volumes. Even got the last 10 minutes or after they went 2-1 down.
Seem to have enough there. Gregory, Fletcher, Windass that new lad that came on. Even without a striker he's 5th choice.

On bench 

You're joking yeah? Tell me you're joking. You must be joking. No Rams fan in their right mind would post that as a genuine belief.

So we ignore the fact that May publicly stated that he wanted to move back nearer to Kent with his family. Instead, criticise the Club for failing to compete for a player when I doubt there's not one forum poster who actually knows precisely what agreement Clowes came to with the EFL and what sort of spending restrictions have been imposed.
I've yet to see anything from the Club confirming we actually have an interest in Smith. Rumours, speculation and tittle tattle on a forum is great but let's not use that as a means of criticising Derby County without any real substance.

And u know we were in for May because ??? 
Wasn’t it about 5 minutes ago we were all patting the club on the back for picking up the much in demand promotion winning captain to the prem sonny bradley 
so much sensationalist drama on here its untrue 😂🤷🙈

We had a player meeting those requirements last season - Lewis Dobbin but alas he didn’t have that vital ingredient of scoring goals on a regular basis. It's far more important to have players who know what positions to take up and then, when the chances come, are able to put away an acceptable proportion of them. 
Players with pace, trickery (which don't always relate to effectiveness) and an ability to score regularly are scarce and way above our current maximum salary level - maybe our best hope is a loan who contributes goals similar to McAttee and Cannon who seemed to flourish at Shef Utd and Preston last season. Unfortunately, for PL clubs there are far more attractive places to send their young players out on loan - sadly, another downside of not being in the Championship.
This season is huge in so many ways.

There is a big difference between a deal happening and a deal being announced.

Smith , Collins, waghorn and Washington would do for me , be very happy going into the season with that

He scored 17 goals for a team that got promoted out of this division, how exciting do you want it?

Wrong player..wasn't Michael Smith that dived..it was Marvin Johnson.
Smith scored the resulting penalty!

Be interesting to see if he takes part in  Sheff Wednesday's league opening fixture tomorrow night.
