Jackal

If last season was anything to go by we need someone to score 47 goals in 40 games...so not good enough for us.

Get inoculated before you go on your holidays and you'll be safe!

If we sign another 30+ defender I think I will dissolve into a little pool of anger and despair. Hopefully this one is just nonsense otherwise what the f are we playing at. Rubbish

That's all well and good, but the real question is..  Will he be Warnes mate?

Would be a good signing if ditching 352, or at least make us more flexible between formations. He also played for Barnsley which is only 12.7 miles from Rotherham.

Only sell to Brighton if we have a 50% sell on clause

its okay i am sure we have someone twice his age lined up

Paul Warne been let down more than an inflatable.

"Something something coffee machine, something something dark side"

Maybe it’s Sally the tea lady who’s head was turned by the promise of a bigger kettle at Burton Albion.

If his agent or the lad himself have expressed a desire to leave then get a good deal for the club and bring people in who want to be here the same for all the players there is no loyalty in football anymore. 
But I wouldn't want to join hull because Liam will be one of the first casualties if there results keep going the way they are 2 losses already one against the mighty doncaster
 
 
 
 

If we had sausages we could have sausage and chips if we had some chips! 

I think he's set to be playing for Scunny in the national league north, so he might be out of our price range.

FTFY

Part of me looks at him having played for Brentford for so long, during their rise through the divisions too and I think, he cannot be that bad.
But then I remember Jozefzoon.
But these last few weeks of the window have shown, we are shopping in the pound shop and when Warne gets to the till he realises he has lost his pound.

What we want and what we get look like being two different things.
However, what you aren't considering is that instead of one player = Didzy, we now look at having to make two (combined) players = Didzy. And I think we have so far recruited, and already have, the players to do that. Not necessarily with the desired fanciness but with the desired efficiency.
We already now have the players in the squad to do the job and I don't doubt we will bring others in.

There seems to be an assumption on the part of some posters that we need to replace all of Didzy's goal total for last season but this isn't necessarily the case. A tighter defence, particularly in the crunch games against other likely playoff opposition could mean we score fewer goals yet gain more points - let's not forget over a quarter of his league goals came in 2 games against teams which finished 22nd and 24th in the league, where there was a 9-0 aggregate scoreline.
I'm certainly not decrying his contribution last season - he was a class above every other member of our squad and produced much of the entertainment throughout the season - but I'm far from being convinced that we have to replace his 22 league goals for us to have a successful season and yes I'd still like to see us sign a young striker with pace to increase our attacking options.

He is frustrated, but that’s the situation we’re in. He and the club are trying to find the right players, and seemingly are coming up against barriers and so rather than focusing on the problem as some of our fans are keen to do they’re looking at solutions. Of which the potential is some ageing but capable strikers and/or young loans we have to wait for. It’s circumstance, it’s not about blame, that’s just where we find ourselves.
Let’s say replacing McGoldrick’s goals is a maths problem. We need to find a way to replace those 25 goals. Let’s say your prediction for Washington is accurate and he scores 10. Now we’re looking to replace 15 goals. Sibley scored 6 in all competitions last season, a large % of his games played out of position. If he starts in a more advanced role could he score more? Lots of our fans say he can, let’s give him a bit of credit and say 3 more goals. Now we’re looking for 12 more. NML looked frightening at the front end of the season then burned out in the second half, we’ve got better options down that right side so he shouldn’t have to play rwb. He scored 7 league goals, let’s back him to score another 3 on top this season giving him a nice round 10 goals, now we need 9 more. Let’s say Waghorn signs and manages to shin a few in, 5 goals. Now we need 4 from the team. Joe Ward scored 7 last year for Peterborough, maybe he chips in with 3 goals….
That’s why I don’t see it as a “desperate situation”, people are keen to hang onto this notion that we haven’t replaced McGoldrick’s goals because we haven’t signed a like for like replacement. It is reasonable and realistic to see where there are goals within the current squad, we might not have the luxury of watching McGoldrick oozing class, but we’ll carry a threat throughout the season and still score goals in my opinion.
A desperate situation would be having little to no evidence of goals from anyone in the team, or an unproven youngster (Plange), a journeyman striker (Kazim), and one Tom Lawrence to call upon such as when the club was actually in a desperate situation under Rooney. 

Should’ve signed him before the friendly against Huddersfield. Kept it on the down low and then televised the match. Could’ve had an NWO storyline to announce the signing. 
 
Derby confirm before the match that a new signing will feature. Gets to 80 mins and Huddersfield bring Rhodes on. At some point in the last 10 minutes Rhodes scores an OG and takes off his Huddersfield shirt to reveal a Derby one. 
 
Would’ve got me on board with the signing if this had happened. 

What the hell is Hayden Roberts doing there?!

How many would Mikel Beck get in L1, a couple?

Sad day. Wish he could have stayed and gone up there with us but nothing is guaranteed and think the extra year he gave us was probably to the detriment of his development. But totally admire his loyalty,commitment and attitude. 
Feel disappointed for him that it wasnt a bigger move but hope he flourishes and makes the next step up soon.
Wishing nothing but the best to him. 

Knight has been a great servant for the club. Played in multiple positions for the team, never moaned, worked hard in game and in training, kept his mouth firmly closed during all the chaos at the club, thrived at international level and gave his all.
As fans we will see many players that can do what knight does. I will always rate him as a good player, who unfortunately his strengths will always be his limitations. His versatility and work rate will see him shifted about to "do a job". Its what he does. He won't let you down, can be trusted and his work rate will always have the fans onside.
I knew he was going to leave. I'm amazed it has taken this long. When we were having our pockets picked, many clubs could have picked him up for peanuts as the admins would have snapped their hands off, yet as the vultures circled knight wasn't picked clean. Wonder why?
Will he step up a level, even though he has played there before? Of course he will.
Will he kick on and get a prem move or a promotion? Only time will tell.
Will he get a warm welcome if he ever comes back to play at pp? Of course he will.
Thanks and good luck Jason. Hold your head high. You deserve to.

Wow! Your family do that to you too? 🤣
