I have no problem with him whatsoever. We met him at a footy tournament in Aug 2021, just before we played them in the League Cup, my lad was 8 at the time and had a Rams top on. Despite being there to watch his son play he took a good few minutes to talk to my lad, have a photo and sign an autograph for him. My lads team beat them in the semis and he even walked over after the game and congratulated him. He didn't have to but he did. That says enough for me. 
I have said in a different thread that some of our fans are first class morons, witnessed first hand at Matlock. Total embarrassments. But every club has them.
As with all players, if he signs I will back him 100%.

Isn’t that our previous Head Of Physical Performance? 🤔

Can be the first player we sing this version to “ billy sharp is a ram, is a ram, is a ram, billy sharp is a ram he hates Derby”

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

No more excuses. Time for Sibley to show what he’s capable of if he’s got some absolute runner upfront making all the space between the lines.

Seems to hint in the interview he is captain 

Joe Ward scored 6 and assisted 10 goals in a Peterborough side that got into the play offs last season.
Curtis Nelson has played 27, 30, 44 and 33 games in the championship in the last 4 seasons and has been captain at pretty much all his former clubs.
Callum Elder played 29 times for a side that finished mid table in the championship last season. 
 
Give them chance to show what they can do with a ram on their chest before completely writing them off.

That’s a bad take. Let’s look at what was actually said rather than another heavily opinionated assumption 
Wanted:
“We need the players that can play in the league above and have got a bit of experience
I want the players that will make big sacrifices and are fully determined for success.
We need players that are prepared to learn and believe in the team more than themselves.
They have to be good footballers, good athletes and they have to buy into the way we play, the way we press and the energy we want from a team.
Also and this is a lot different to a lot of teams in our league - they have to be able to play in front of 30,000 people.
It's a psychology more than a physicality for me. I'm not here to break players but I am here to push boundaries and to try and get more out of the team.
We're trying to make them physically resilient for a 10 month season but a lot of that comes from mentality.
From that, hopefully you can build a squad and a team that are exciting to watch.”
Ignore how Warne says things and look at what he’s actually saying, he wants hard working and capable footballers who know what it means to play for this club and will put the team effort above themselves, what about that is such a bad thing?! From those quotes I’d say it’s more like; 
Wanted - football players with the ability and mentality to play for a well supported club planning to push for promotion. Must understand this is a team sport and all members of the squad will play a part in shared success. The plan is that the team will play with a high press, which means physicality and athleticism will be part of our identity as will playing an exciting brand of football. Ability to put up with manager’s rubbish jokes and constant pestering are an added desirable requirement.
 

I know some people don’t want to see long ball and play from the back but I hope we’re going to get the ball forward a bit quicker than that!!

The posts of some people on this board don’t automatically equate to “the majority”. I for one would like to sign Roberts on a free and retain Sibley, Knight and Bird if feasible. I also accept that players will inevitably move on and if one, two or all of those 3 do leave we’ll have new players to support in their stead.
Roberts as a player has attributes we need in the squad, can cover a couple of positions, is young and has potential, signing him on a free would represent sensible business. I also think as it looks to be another summer of high numbers joining the squad, signing Roberts negates some of the settling in period other recruits may need as he’s just spent a year here.

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!

That's him off to Napoli, then. 

Now this is a game I can get behind...
Who's likely to go where.
Fozzy - run of the mill, never one to be extravagant. Likely goes to see family and takes a stroll instead of a beach, he is Scottish afterall and his complexion can't cope.
Cashin - Seen the Inbetweeners film? Cash is at that hotel right now.
Didzy - Flambuoyant, bit of a maverick. Bali.
Jason Knight - Dublin. Back home.
James Collins - Great Yarmouth. Not what it once was, rough around the edges. Promises so much, but takes forever to get there.
Wildsmith - Costa Del Sol. Familiar and reliable when you give it a chance.
