Already have three old strikers, including NML.

Surely the additions have to be young players?

Warne made a point about genuine goal scorers and that he may need to go over his 22-32 age bracket, I.e. hinting at an older experienced player

Lets be honest, even though some of us would be sniffy about it, Billy Sharp would score a bagful at this level with our team behind him. The aim is to get promoted

Billy Sharp would be a great signing but cannot see him wanting to play for Derby after what’s gone on in the past.  Hope I’m wrong

Crikey, who are these strikers we are going to get in then 😳

Haha, not here yet I’m sure but nobody will be guaranteed a starting place - that’s not how Paul Warne works.  My point was maybe Alfie May wanted an easier route to regular football 

Probably guaranteed game time……. something he won’t get at Derby 

Wouldn’t be surprised if Liam tried to get him at Hull - he knew him from his Brighton days and was a big reason why he came to Derby on loan.  That said, he clearly enjoyed his time at Derby and seemed settled so fingers crossed he makes the right choice!

think he would command a large fee but would be ideal for us , Posh also transfer listing Frankie Kent a stylish centre half , would like us to get him in

I agree he will probably be out of our price range but he did spend 4 years at Rotherham when our very own Paul Warne was there both as fitness coach & manager (2014-18).

But you won’t stop them going to school until they understood what is acceptable.

True, but parents can have a significant influence

Outside the South Stand I think the vast majority of people are generally considerate to the areas that they are sat.  However, there are individuals who have zero consideration and respect - they feel it is their right to swear as much is they like because “it’s the Derby game, init”.

Now I’m no prude and have spent many a day on the Popside and travelling to away games but I’d rather not have someone sat right behind me effing and jeffin abuse at all and sundry. (This is different to a few songs with choice words included).  When this then becomes you effing Cnut yawped into my sensitive luggholes then it becomes a bit much.

We’ve now moved from seats we’ve had for 10 years as a result. 

I wouldn’t take young children to the match until they had understood what is acceptable language “for them to use” in public.  They will hear it at school etc. but not within the boundaries of my home.  They will no doubt use this language with mates but NOT in front of Grandmas and young children in public

Our friend @Henrycav81 was a bit behind me... age, grades, footy skills... pretty much all aspects, to be fair!  ?

My first year would’ve been 1981…… went into 6th form and left in 1985

Can we all agree to disown this t***? No matter the footballing advantage this may bring, this is disgusting behaviour that really shows us all up.

 

Not seen the comments but the replies tell me enough.  Totally unacceptable and unfortunately it will probably be used as motivation when we play Argyle

A lot depends on whether Bielik would be happy to come back. I have criticised folk on numerous occasions for assuming he doesn’t want to return to Derby when there isn’t any real evidence to support that view but, if PW has spoken to him and gets the impression that he wouldn’t be happy, Warne has said several times he’d let players go that weren’t happy. 
 

For me there are four great unknowns: does PW want him, would Bielik be happy to come back, would our business plan really allow it, are Derby trying to sell him and consider him playing in the Championship (albeit in a seemingly poor Birmingham side) a better shop window than League 1.

We can’t recall Bielik…….. deadline in the loan agreement was mid January

I mean as full backs. If we had our first 4 choice fullbacks injured on either side, I certainly wouldn't be upset with either Barkhuizen or Mendez-Laing start in a back 4.

I think they might …. not sure either of them are too enamoured with wing back let alone full back.  That said, the characters that they are they’d no doubt give it a go
