u can get cream for that

Excellent news. Talk about over-hyped. Taking a profit from this would be immense. His bang average DIY spanish videos articulated his ability ??‍♂️

I mean, there was news there on literally all of those things...
I think what you seem to be expecting is 'resolutions' not news - And oddly you don't get those from BBC Derby journalists...

I bet they can't wait to be cheered on by you.

Some silly comments already - doesn't take long on a match day

Time to increase the Physio department.

Nah. Some of Maxwell and the 3 Amigos were worse.
TBH when Longson sacked Clough that was the worst ever.

Weight gain? Indigestion? Dissapointment?

Is that set in concrete ?

We’re all frustrated by the apparent lack of activity but,I for one,am not interested in rumours or speculation. Just hoping an announcement will be forthcoming in the not too distant future to perk us all up.

So hope so ?

You don't win anything with kids.... ?

It's the one where he's telling the players that tom will be Captain. Apparently he should have been running around the pitch shouting and getting the players motivated.
 

Interesting move & I suspect was done with his contract situation in mind.
To do well this season, we need Tom to unlock that undoubted potential & have a stand out year in goals & assists. I get the sense with him that he's often quite peripheral - certainly in terms of what we see from him on the park. In theory then, making him the leader of the team & giving him a key role leaves no doubt what we expect from him. Guessing Rooney will also have linked it to Lawrence's omission from the Welsh squad for the Euros & telling him its a shop window for a really good move next season.
I'd be very surprised if Tom stays with us beyond his contract expiring but there is sometimes a danger with players in their last year going through the motions, especially if they're unlikely to sign an extension. Could be a wise call from Rooney & reality is we know that its Kazim, Curtis & Shinnie who are the real 'soul' of the team & they're likely to know that i.e. providing the rationale was explained properly, we could have the best of both worlds.

So what do you suggest? not get bodies in and just give up? miraculously fix all of our EFL problems, get the takeover done, find someone to give us £50m for Knight and blow the lot on a new team of competitive Championship players?
We are where we are (a poorer squad than the one that only just avoided relegation last year, a transfer embargo, the same owner so no chance of the EFL letting up on their vindictive campaign, etc, etc....). Unless a miracle occurs (the takeover goes through, the EFL give us a clean bill of health and Wazza manages to bring in 5-6 quality signings for little money and on minimum wages) then it will be a long hard season of scrapping.....

I would add, an utter lack of understanding of the situation we find ourselves in and the quality of players available to us within the EFL restrictions.
 

What i said was , see if we sign either of them first before all the negativity starts , most of the negative posts on here have not come up with any alternative names to the 2 players in question , at the moment we are limited to what we can sign so why dont we show a more welcoming attitude to potential new signings whoever they may be

Its not like Derby fans to ridicule and fill this forum with negatives on potential signings is it? Lets see if we sign them first , and if we do why not give them a chance for a change , instead of all this constant hes too old , never been very good , could find better in lower leagues , rather play the tea lady nonsense that seems to accompany most of our rumoured new players

1. Buchanan to Arsenal for £1m to pay July wages
2. Can't afford Jagielka or Stearman's wages so they go elsewhere
3. Announced we are still paying off Ravanelli amongst others
4. Knight to West Ham for £3m to cover the above
5. Still around £10m of payments outstanding so Stadium sold again to another 3rd party for £100m
6. EFL launch investigation into above
7. Mel tries to set up breakaway league of championship/SPL clubs
8. EFL launch investigation into above and demotes us to league 1 within 24 hours
9. We appeal
10. Mel reduces asking price and several people/groups declare interest, Mel reaches agreement with a Nigerian prince which later falls through, but still loses £50m
11. EFL launch investigation into above
12. Rooney re-registers as a player
13. EFL blocks it
14. Rooney resigns
15. Commitee of coaches takes over again
16. DCFC submits accounts
17. EFL launch investigation into above
18. Jozwiak loaned to a German side to save wages
19. EFL demote Derby to League 2 after investigations/appeals into above issues, 30 point deduction applied
20. Mel tries to join SPL
21. EFL launch investigation and demote us to conference, still starting with 30 point deduction
22. Sibley sold to Leeds for £1.5m to pay wages
23. Club almost merges with Notts County until it transpires Nigerian prince was legit and he invests £1b into us
24. Club finally lands Yakubu as player/manager
 

Actually there are plenty who have done just that and been great signings for us but folks tend to remember the negative ones.

They stated the fee was £5m rising to £9m with a 15% sell on clause.

Bolton have been to hell and back,we’re still trying to get out of ours!

The drama and the circus often help with media profile which helps pay the bills. Bolton who? Jags is causing a stir with them?! How far and fast they've fallen...

Just imagine that for a minute. Definite WTF moment.
