Jackal reacted to CBRammette in Max Bird - flew the coop to Bristol City, loaned to us to end of season
Really sad he's going but unsurprised. Stuck with us when others forced moves. Dont get the vitriol at all - Knight didnt get it did he? Will be so upset for him if he gets hostility at Pride Park - hoping twitter is full of fools who arent old enough to go to matches unaccompanied. Just hope we dont waste the money

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.

As soon as that happens we'll be Morris dancing all the way to the premier league.

when DC sells us to the right people that understand sustainable growth. What we need ideally is a local self-made man with loads of cash to burn. Someone we can trust to stay with us through thick and thin, what could go wrong?

Jackal reacted to Day in Lee Gregory (again)
Without selling Cashin or Bird, we have nothing in the pot for permanent signings. We know that.
We’re left with loan options only, where many of the better players available on loan will already be out at clubs.
Unless we’re able to structure a deal with a club like the CBT one where a contract is expiring, we’re left scraping the barrel.
That’s the situation.
Gregory would not be an exciting signing, he will not sell extra tickets, nor is he Warne’s first choice in this situation, we all know that as well with the approach for Smith.
What it would be a short term loan until the end of the season giving us cover for Collins. I suspect he would be behind Washington as well if he can get himself fit.
It’s the final transfer window before restrictions are lifted and we get to see what Clowes and Warne can bring to the club.
Until then, we have to just get on with it and show a little understanding that none of this is an ideal situation for club, manager or fans.

In the summer we had one left back on the books in Forsyth and not a single right back or right wing back?
And you're sat there saying Ward and Elder weren't needed? Of course they were.
Elder has been unfortunate with injuries but I'm convinced there's a player there, just needs a run of games.
It's only in hindsight now we have Nyambe and Wilson in that Ward isn't needed.

That's the guy that got shot by Hans Gruber after trying to negotiate with him in Die Hard.

Jackal reacted to DCFC1388 in Corey Blackett-Taylor - Signed on Loan/Permanent in Summer
As a few have said, we need to make sure we dont expect too much too soon from him.
One thing fans & journos have said is when at Charlton, teams used to have to double up on him. Currently they try to do that to NML, so with CBT in the team they wont be able to double up on both of them meaning 1 will be in space to cause some damage....or if they do, that will create alot of space for others....so this may mean he doesnt have the impact we may think he will in goals & assists but may play a part in an increase from other areas.

Have we worked out how, as a forum, we divide the value of his house and car?

Hopefully not in dollars as we will be waiting for it to go through money laundering checks for 3 months again. Hopefully it’s not being sent by Kirchner in prison

Multi-syllabic-named players
Assuming he passes his medical, I suspect Corey-Blackett-Taylor (6 syllables) will be the player with the joint-most syllables ever to have played for the Rams. Furthermore, there is a rising trend here what with Nath-an-iel-Men-des-Laing and Ty-reece-John-Ju-les. Oh I long for the days of the mono-syllabics like Mick Coop, Tom Ince, Dave Webb et alia. No wonder we can't come up with any decent songs that scan prop-er-ly 😲

Jackal reacted to Comrade 86 in Ryan Nyambe - Signed Until Jan 2024, Extended to 2025
Delighted that Ryan gets a new deal, though whilst I enjoyed Namibia turning over a higher ranked Tunisian team, I'm hoping he's back soon! My selfish concerns aside, national selection and a new deal are nothing less than he's earned and with one eye on the future, this is another important box ticked. Well played Mr Clowes and Warney too of course.
On a general note, I'm loving the way the club is locking in our best current players. Obviously there's a deal of work to be done and we'd all like to see a couple in if they can improve our starting 11 but for me, the most critical part of this window was not losing key players and thus far, we're doing OK on that score! Should we manage to escape this league this season and personally, I think we will, it clearly makes a deal of sense to secure the services of a core group of players who are young, or of good age and who can likely prosper at a higher level. And before anyone says it, yeah, Nate rather bucks that trend, but that lad's a specimen and will probably still be playing at 37 or 38. The others are hopefully part of Derby's brighter future and that dream does seem more real with each passing day of this season.
On that note, does this not rather put an end to theories about players not liking Warne or enjoying his methods, too? Seems to me that those who have actually played for Warne are more than happy to stick with him, indeed bar those still finding full fitness after injuries, all the players all look fit as fleas, unified and all are playing with smiles on their faces. More to be pleased about than not I reckon.
