Hopefully we don't sign another, because Tyreese a crowd...

Because maybe actually he isn't that amazing, when you take away the added premium of he has 'signed for someone else so the bed-wetters now need to hype him up as Warne missing out on the next Roberto Carlos'?
Dunno personally, never seen him play.

Went for last option mainly due to mess in before chopping and changing managers, still under EFL restrictions with the plan, assume loads of other stuff still being rebuilt behind scenes and I have grown to like him - although not a happy clapper and lots going on this season has really annoyed me

Anybody else thinking this transfer window is going to be like a Christmas in which every present you unwrap is socks?
 

Not sure why Fornah hasn’t been announced yet, pictures were taken yesterday

Do we have any popular away fans?

That is the sort of player I really thought we would sign this summer with a few more "risks" taken on promising lower league or younger players. Although if no/very low fee and low wages not much of a risk if we are aiming for a steady sustainable rebuild.
I think the sort of player we have signed is the main reason I am so disappointed at the start of the season - not results, not style, not PW but the short-term-ism of the recruitment (not blaming anyone in particular) and the fact our youngsters who havent broken through yet only seem to get a proper chance when there is no other choice like on Saturday. Pre-season it looked as if the next batch would get their chance but I dont think they will. Despite the off-field nonsense I really felt connected to the team with blend of our youngsters and more experienced pros bringing them through over the last 2-3 seasons. By accident it seemed we had ironically found "the Derby way". But with Bird and Cashin probably off/being sold to fund more journeyman (nothing personal) I find it all a bit sad and disappointing. Would have rather built a younger more long-term team I am invested in than get a quick promotion but thats just me I suspect!
Again dont really want to blame anyone but suspect financially us getting out of this league is a priority but ironically the short-term signings with that aim may make it less likely.
Ignore my depressed ramblings, think this is the year the ramifications (no pun intended) of Mel's mess really come to fruition. And last night I watched the Leeds v Derby playoff semi second leg!

Completely agree with this PoV.
Before the trip to Spain, I thought the transfer business was solid if uninspiring and hoped we would kick on with some more 'exciting' signings once the foundations were in place. We may still do so but I really hoped the recruitment team would be tasked with unearthing some rough diamonds that we could add in to complement the solid experience.
As it is the signing I was most excited by has proven to be way off the pace (so far) and the exciting signings just haven't materialised (so far)...
I don't think anyone can say with any authority if the uninspiring window is the result of PW's stance, poor recruitment team, difficult market or a lack of genuine budget. 
As it is PW's assessment of where we are is correct. We might challenge for the playoffs but with a thread bare squad with a lack of pace and variation it's going to be a long old grind
We could end with a bang but from being quite optimistic about the initial flurry, the best signing we've made to date looks like a guy we already knew about and who happened to fall into our lap because of a testimonial!
Let's hope there are some hidden gems in the pipeline they turn out to be once in a generation talents that we can ask get excited by.

It is good to have the dream. On holiday this year we kept seeing a personalised beach towel with "Big Tone" on it a on sunbed. Kept trying to see the owner imagining a big West Ham fan type geezer. He was more Les Dennis. Very disappointing

Ha! I'm the same.  Hoping it's "fun" as in "that was fun" after bombing round the the latest rollercoaster, rather than "that was fun" after settling down to watch La La Land because of the hype, and being left bored rigid and massively disappointed.
