Colour-blind

I’d be looking at Tom Bayliss for the summer. Free transfer, tidy midfielder, will be 25, Derby fan. 

Or we’re doing what many think we should and Warne said we would which is sending youngsters out on loan for game time to aid in their development.
 

You're using facts and logic-that'll confuse a few on here!

But we are short of firepower right now. Definitely not the future, unlikely we could pay anything close to what he wants but then again I very much doubt any other club is going to except as a massive gamble.
If he wants to play for us because it’s close to home and he wants to keep fit and he’s getting near the end of his career, I’d happily give him a 6 month deal at normal squad pay with a promo bonus. Pretty sure that’s similar to what Waggy has. 
Warne is much maligned but along with DC I bet we aren’t handing out sweeties, long contracts to older players. They are doing a job for a specific objective. We won’t go anywhere and can’t look anywhere long term while we are in this league and still under the eye of the EFL. So of necessity deals will be pragmatic. 

Dwight Gayle is far too smart of a striker not to score goals at this level. 
We saw it with Jordan Rhodes who people assured me had lost his legs and wasn't the same player. I said the same thing then as I am now. The level we are playing at is absolutely honking to the point where it's embarrassing for some of the lads playing to even call themselves professional footballers. 
Gayle is probably finished as a forward in the Championship, but in a top 8 team in the League One would cause no end of damage. I have no doubt he's better than the other strikers on our books. 

We're up sh*t creek so if he can bring a padel, it'd be great.

100% This.Spot on 🐏

Starting to get twitchy now- only three hours to get our star striker.

Spot on buddy

Best midfielder at the club. Leaving as won't sign a new contract. Good fee. Keep the player for the rest of the season.
He came through the ranks, stood by us when we were on our arse, does his best, good egg arond the place, getting a bigger wage in a higher division, club doesn't lose out.
Max Bird comes out well, Derby County come out well. 
Moaners, please shush. I'm embarrassed by you.

We potentially did if the links to the Liverpool lad are true. Could be we explored a couple of options first, then settled on a loan back as best for us.

The vitriol from some quarters is laughable, He was offered terms and chose to exercise his right and refuse those terms, Bristol have come in and offered...more money and to play in a higher division.
Those moaning should take their football home and storm upstairs and sulk under the quilt 🙄
 
 

Seeing the Bird abuse online makes me hate the Internet and I want to go live in my log cabin in the woods and socialise with nobody.

If they were going to charge a feee on top wouldn't it be better to just buy him on a 1 year for example with an option for a second year?

100% this. A fee on top is madness. They have about 7 strikers on the books surely they need to offload one or two?

Michael Smith then.

Yeah, tell them to do one. 

Disagree, surely even if we paid his wages for the rest of the season its better than having a player who's not playing at all and still costing the club.
No player who doesn't play benefits the club as you still have to pay them 

I guess come the end of the window we’ll see if they played it well. 
 
But on the assumption the player wants to come here and no other teams are interested then it’s pretty daft/spiteful. 
 
Anyway I’d move on and see if we can find anybody else. 

Scrolled back through the thread and can’t see this has been shared yet, Leigh Curtis’ response when asked about the delay earlier today;
And this one on the same thread;
 

Fwiw it looks like Radio Derby have been at Moor Farm today and Dom hasn’t tweeted any snippets  from Warne and they haven’t released the audio yet. This means my guess is there will be something to announce before 6pm or at least Dom will have some form of update he can say by then 
 

good. im sick of the obsession of signing ex players who are past it

100% agree
Knight needs to be played further forward and we need an experienced right back to come in
