The trial has finished...he got 20 years 👍

Shame, he'd have been useful sitting on the shoulder of the last defender.

We seemed happy enough at £500k. If it's £500k up front and then the rest on the never-never when we get promotion etc then an extra £400k will be a drop in the ocean at that point.
He may not be tried and tested in the Championship as such, but he's tried and tested for US, in a Paul Warne side/system, which is already a step up from anyone new coming in, who will carry their own risks. 
If DC is comfortable with the deal then I'm comfortable with the deal, this isn't another Mad Mel that's going to suddenly start splurging ridiculous money "chasing the dream".

Are you for @#*%$in' real?  😲
Are you on a wind u... oh, it's you. 🍻

I mean there’s a good chance we did prepare a £250k bid but it was one of the bids rejected. I know we’ve recently been on the brink of extinction and whilst this deal is probably slightly more than we originally wanted to pay it’s still not a great deal of money in modern football. We paid more for Connor Sammon 10+ years ago, what would that be in todays money?
With out Adam’s last season I doubt we would have made it to the automatics so it’s a very welcome addition I just hope to god that the CDM curse doesn’t strike again!

I see Clowes is going to overpay for that chap Ebou. Has he ever seen him play I wonder?
I invested tremendous emotional capital watching our fans march before the Birmingham game on my TV, and now he appears to be putting the club at risk when this coming season I know I can already watch my beloved Rams a minimum of 16 times on Sky TV.
Clowes can do one as far as I am concerned. Should stick to building houses.
 

Really pleased he’s coming home.
Cannot understand the comments about lack of technical ability though? From what I saw, he has good passing range, decent touch, can carry the ball and can shoot. What more do people want?

Adams coming back? Stick my name down in the happy column.
Warne knows the lad, his personality, what he can bring to the pitch both on and off and can bring him back for under a million? Love it.
Do I have concerns he’s never impressed in the Championship? No. Neither has Kenzo and look at the excitement over his signing. Not only has to adapt to the Championship but move to another country away from friends, family and settle in, I would argue we have bigger question marks over him. 
Seems insane to me that here we are, division under the Premier League where Omari Kellyman goes to Chelsea for more than 19 Ebou Adams yet only played 35 minutes of men’s league football, and here we are questioning if we’re overpaying by 400k.
At the same time, it’s good to see our expectation of transfer fees has been well and truly reset, I was guilty as many were of getting carried away spending £6m or whatever it was on a Bradley Johnson. I hope it’s a sign that expectations in general have lowered and we’re not slinging mud at Warne 5 games in as we try to compete with clubs being given 35 Ebou Adams fees for failing in the league above.

Just to clear up the VAR penalty call. The unwritten rule is if it goes in our favour then there’s no problem obviously, if it goes against us then there’s a whole load of conspiracies against us.

I found myself thinking today about how excited B4 would have been with all the possible signings we’ve been linked with - whether he could spell or pronounce their names or not!
How we miss him.

"Wearing an orange jumpsuit" - OMG what an incredibly luck escape - imagine the pain of admin and then this = no Derby.
David C just thank you, thank you, thank you - may we never have to deal with such crooks again. 

You either trust Clowes to look after the club at every opportunity or you dont . 
He overpaid MASSIVELY to keep DCFC alive , the current recruitment team are all working together to provide a progressive and sustainable blueprint for the next 10 to 20 years. He will need to agree or deny all purchases that fall on the margins , Ebou is a definate low risk option even at a cool million .. 
 
 

A few hundred thousand either way for this deal makes very little difference in the grand scheme of things.
I see people say they'd have paid no more than £500,000 yet to miss out on this player for the sake of a few hundred thousand just to try and demonstrate some some of sustainability in this loss making industry would be ridiculous when he was so instrumental to our team and fit us like a glove.
If we've ended up paying a little more than I thought we would have to then I really don't care, I wasn't expecting us to rake in millions in sell on fees for Kellyman & Delap this summer either.

You spelt his name like that, not us.

No, and that’s exactly why I posted that!

I think we all were, not just her!  

Give him a chance. 
 
The time to judge him is tomorrow

Goodminj, definitely.

I was thinking earlier about how Goudmijn would have been spelt out. Dan would be convinced we’ll be in the Premier League this time next year. He would have personally handed Louis Sibley a lifetime ban from Pride Park for abandoning the Rams. He would have taken Grealish being dropped by Southgate as a sign he was on his way to Derby 😆

Yep, A dick, A timewaster and one who can't pick the right players...he'll fit in lovely 👍

In the top 3 for me, along with every man jack on (and around) the pitch constantly checking themselves out on the umpteen big-screens (try concentrating in your job in hand!) and full backs covering a cross by standing with hands clasped behind their back, like a butler at a royal feast, immediately after plating up the final quail breast! 
The game is shot! 
Shot, says I.  🙄
