I prefer a young big striker on loan to complete the forward line. Doubt we play 2 up front much. Get a creative midfielder in for a fee and the Bristol WB to complete the defensive unit.
Do you know of any of those forwards? That would be allowed into league one. I thought the whole idea of having wing backs was to play two centre forwards and cross the ball to them.

He's got another year at Reading, like you say could be a problem for L1 unfortunately won't be with us!
Looking at their situation they would probably let him leave I suspect and he may well want too, currently we have no one to win hardly any headers in open play

Think we need a real big and strong forward able to win crosses in the box since that seem to be one of our main goal threats if I understand what Warne is aiming for this season. To have a big 'un up top who actually has a 50/50 to win a header against a CB is a bit underrated in todays game. It does'nt have to be more complicated than a good ball into the box, get on to it and have some eager runners around to exploit the chaos. Sad to say our crosses during the last seasons have been L2 level at best though.
If we are going all in on the wing backs and crossing wide players then two centre forwards on the pitch is a must and one of them has to win headers - it’s the third division just get Andy Carroll in because if he gets the service he will win games in half an hour which would be the average he would play anyway

I'll go for Burnley to be above Forest, Luton will be a shock for some a team that doesn't give up, So my 3...to go down...Sheff Untd, Forest and Bournemouth.
Luton will take some points at home but they will be destroyed away from home and the referees and VAR will destroy their team with all the off the ball stuff - Sheffield United have no cash flow to spend so they are doomed as well whilst Bournemouth could throw themselves into it due to sacking the manager who did so well and to be honest the premiership will do all it can to be rid of them so yes they are a big contender.

Wasn't anything to do with that.
We never had a deal agreed with Bolton, the expectation was that they would meet the £250k we wanted, but they fell short of that.
He'll do well if you play a 3 at the back system, which I think you do?
When it’s all sorted you will have a excellent player but his biggest curse is being played in lots of positions because of the failings or absence of others. When left to be a central midfielder he will be excellent otherwise just very decent. I expect him sold for a lot in a couple of years.

The extremely overweight owner has probably noticed that Burnley Luton and Sheffield United have been promoted so probably and correctly believes 17th place is guaranteed ( fourth bottom ) so there is no need to do any more spending - he’s probably right as well.

Bielik's done his hamstring already
He did well to sneak into this thread though 👍

I fully expect that money to be used on Brannagan and Coventry striker + loan winger/fw
You probably need to stop expecting money spent on transfer fees - we still need to pay for the two Polish internationals which we no longer have.

Okay, so a bit of a tongue in cheek title there, but let's imagine for a minute its this time next year and Derby have gone up to the Championship, perhaps even winning the league (yay)! Warne has put the doubters to rest and Clowes has been praising his achievement to the hilt.
So thoughts turn to staying up and prospering in the Championship and the elephant in the room is that Warne has not managed to do this previously.
As we understand it, what went wrong at Rotherham each time and how much of that can be pinned on Warne?
How can Warne's Derby avoid the same fate as Warne's Rovrum?
He was at Rotherham previously - now he is with Derby County

Very cheap price in my opinion for a young highly versatile experienced international, we will never be able to sign one like him for a long time I suspect - hopefully we can get promotion this coming season - the administration has cost us so many players
I really think he could be doing a lot better than Bristol city and that’s not trying to be disrespectful to them and I fully expect him sold within two years for £10 million plus.

Cashin being sold wouldn’t be good for my mental health, every other player can go.. but not him.
He’s an undersized, relatively slow centre back… yet, he’s absolutely magnificent in almost every department. A 21 year old centre back with his level of consistency is rarer than rocking horse s***.
Well there is a £3 million bid in for him so I am told and just like knight he has one year left on his contact so it’s sign an extension or be sold

Whatever we end up getting for knight I hope it includes a 25% sell on clause because that will work out as more than the transfer fee we will receive

£4m bid expected-what do we do? Big big call for Clowes and Warne
Well lots on here seem happy to sell knight because he only has a year left on his contract, I believe I am correct in saying that Cashin has one year left on his contract? - of course we are going to sell him if we want money and the only way we wouldn’t is if he refused to go or signed an extension.
Of course everyone else wants our youngsters who have played a lot because they are proven and not a injury risk or a gamble.Knight Bird Cashin and possibly Wildsmith will receive offers and if we want cash/ money it’s those who will generate it.

I genuinely had a dream last night that we signed Brannigan from Oxford United.
I do still believe we will be trying to sign Billy Sharp, I have a feeling he is the striker Warne reffered to when he said 6 or 7 other clubs are trying to get too.
I saw my mate the other day who follows Sheffield United since forever and he still says that Sharp is excellent in the box but can’t use his legs to run anymore - based on what everyone says about Warne that would disqualify sharp from an option
1 hour ago, Srg said:Brighton, a club in Europe, do not want Eiran Cashin. As much as I love the lad, that’s just silly.
Well they brought Clarke from Portsmouth a league one club who was never going to play for them when they had stacks of centre half’s and loaned him out for three seasons and then sold him whilst making plenty of money doing it. From a buisness point of view buying Cashin makes perfect sense to them.

Second division football ! - I wonder if that guarantees 90 minutes of football or you get to watch people sat on the floor drinking water or wondering how to pick up a football of the floor when it leaves the football pitch every 30 seconds.
Many folk can’t afford season tickets and due to cost and work can only manage a few games a season and will probably just give up.
-
As an opposition player he never concerned me when we were in the championship but he is our player now and this is a much lower standard based on what I saw last season so I hope we get the best out of him the minimum we need this season with a automatic promotion

Bradley is replacing Davies, Stearman and Chester. The three of them made the equivalent to only 26.5 league games for us last season.
I hope he doesn’t get injured then 👍

It was a crazy time under Pearson as we had some very good players - what was it about ten games and it seemed like we didn’t score a league goal ( maybe one😆) which wasn’t a surprise as he seemed to play everyone in unfamiliar positions or simply didn’t play them.
I hated watching that
