Really?
Shouldn't you? Tell that to Ronaldo. 
Curtis played every minute of every game last season and was immense. 
His age means nothing. Would you rather we payed top wages to a 18 year old who's never played a game just because he's 18?

"Louis Sibley - make or break season?"

Okay, I like Lee Buchanan and think he's a useful footballer. I have no problem with him wanting to better himself at a bigger club.
However, he has been with Derby County since 2010. That's 12 years of us training him, feeding him, educating him and helping him generally to develop to where he is in now in the game. We protected him from the limelight after Joinersgate, when he was injured for several months. 
He has cost us a lot of money, not just in wages.
He is still a young man and might have a very bright future ahead of him, not least due to the investment received from Derby County.
For his agents not to recognise this and to use a legal technicality to try and wriggle out of the industry wide compensation clause for academy investment is very disappointing,  in my opinion. 

I just want us see win a league title.

Exactly. Well said @angieram
B4's positivity keeps many of us going.

Do you mean "least worst"?

Great that the EFL are so intent on protecting the integrity of the game by not shutting that Watford/Udinese bullsh*t down.
Too busy putting the boot into clubs while they’re on the floor to notice/bother.
Tw*ts.

Interesting. Not sure of the validity of the source, so huge pinch of salt...

Yes we’ve got to be realistic but we also cannot forget who we are. We’re Derby County who for the 6th season out of what will be 139 are in tier 3. Our lowest finish last time we were down here was 7th. Let’s not forget who we are, we’re not one of the massive English clubs but we are way bigger than league one, our history demonstrates that. It’s like Aston Villa being in the championship. It doesn’t happen often. 
 
Even with restrictions we will still have one of the biggest budgets in the league. We are playing catch up which means we might have a slow start. We should not expect promotion as it’s a tough league but we should expect to be competitive (at the very very least top 10 and certainly be looking up the league rather than over the shoulder. 

Great start to the rebuild last night. Twitter last night felt like Christmas morning!
Really pleased to see Cashin & Thompson staying. Both showed such maturity & talent when they got into the first team mid season & would have been gutted to see them go too. There will be spells of indifferent form but I think regular football at this level will see both develop into important first team players. Important also to keep the core of Academy graduates whilst we bring in a lot of new faces, need as much continuity as possible to avoid a disjointed team.
Three good signings too. Wildsmith looks a good shotstopper, am hoping he's also decent with the ball at his feet & like his ambition to finally break from his boyhood club. Barkhuizen & Mendez-Laing have always had quality about them...very different players but really strong options on the wing. 
Strong rumours that Curtis, Kazim & Stearman have already signed (brilliant news if true) & that we're in for another evening of announcements. Of the rumoured new players, Chester would be a really good signing & whilst far from Johnson's biggest fan, he would offer the physicality we will need at this level. Still would be astonished if Hourihane signed, am sure there are top half Championship clubs who would happily take him.
Either way, am loving the anticipation of further news! 

B4 thinks we'll take the league by storm every season. 
Never change, @B4ev6is! 

I have made it my pledge to ignore the contents of this thread, the whole Transfers forum, and any such post thus relating to player incomings and outgoings.
A quick catch up on the 29th, and check the team sheet as I approach the stadium on the 30th will suffice.  Whoever is wearing the white shirt will get my backing... even if I can't read the name on the back! ?
 
I haven't recited a starting line up since 1978.  Life is too short... as is the amount of time players stay at my club! 
?
 
EDIT:
Besides... I like living on the edge.  Spontaneity is this year's buzz-word.  I may even be pleasantly surprised!  ?

I know some people are saying not get to excited but really really cant help it but with players signing new contracts and new players coming in if we gets like David mcgoldrick from sheffield untied right under the nose of boro or otherwise known as gibson now that is justice. With looking scoring so few goals we could be scoring goals for fun. And with likes curtis davies is staying and maybe shinnie coming back home to derby. 
I think league one teams be shaking in fear of playing derby county I think we could have a team fighting for league one title.
