Maybe we could adopt the old Jim Smith style of attack when Ron Willems sat behind Gabbiadini & Sturridge - that attack was devastating in our promotion season .

For today, switch McGoldrick sitting behind a more central Barkhuizen & James Collins

That first season under Jim was outstanding and that game against Palace at the Baseball Ground to seal promotion was fantastic. A pacy striker like Sturridge being fed by Mcgoldrick would fit the bill

Jason has always struck me as someone that really loves the club and is settled. Having Hourihane here will help with the Irish team connection. Now I know his agent will be in his ear about a move but I hope he stays

We should be mailing Parry en masse and asking what he is going to do about this. Would expect the EFL to be    protecting the interests of one of its members. Then again the EFL probably couldn’t give a toss

Signed?

What sort of player was Rosenoir, or Rosie as Thommo called him, when he played and any good?

On loan at Walsall last season, not sure how much game time, presumably as no 2 to Wildsmith?

Could he be our Mark Noble?

Based on his performances last season this is a terrific signing

Did Andre Wisdom ever find a club?

Must be on Fergie time

So if Rooney rocks up in a month in a new job are we entitled to any compo?

Step up Curtis Davies player manager?

 Always thought Appleby was a decent bloke willing to engage with fans and others have said had a decent team around him. Some decent “soccer” played at PP under his tenure too

Second leg on Sky now, what a night

Haven’t Blackburn appointed a new manager, Jon Dahl Thomason? Blackpool are also sorted and can’t think of any other managerless championship clubs?

What’s Eric Steele up to?

Always thought Appleby was a decent bloke willing to engage with fans and others have said had a decent team around him. Some decent “soccer” played at PP under his tenure too

Is Rooney still on hols? Wouldn’t blame him if he’d cleared his desk at PP. Through Stretford he must know what’s going on with CK.

"...It is understood Quantuma have seen proof of funds from at least five groups who still want to buy the club. They include Kirchner, former Newcastle owner Mike Ashley and former Derby chairman Andy Appleby...

Sky Sports News has been told that while the priority is to complete a club takeover long before the fixtures are released, there is the potential for "back-up" funding to be made available for Derby to assemble a squad and fulfil their fixtures should that process be delayed."

Who are these well heeled business people Dorsett is referring to? Gadsby, Clowes, Amott?

9/1 to win the league and 11/4 to be promoted with Betfair. Hardly generous?

Carbonari - did he go to Coventry?

Dean Sturridge- Leicester?

Poom - who remembers that bloody header

Paul Simpson - can’t remember where he went so he can’t have been great

Nothing worse than the club announcing a great signing only to see them flop in a white shirt. Even worse when they leave and become world beaters. There have been a few:

Derek Hales

Danny Graham

Lee Bradbury

Francois Grenet

Butterfield?

Stern John

Bragstad

John Harkes?

Danny Mills

that thug from Wimbledon whose name escapes me

Blackman? Debatable if he was any good although he did have a short purple patch at Reading

suspect there are many more although only really Graham went on to do anything
