    Something like this. The extra revenue from sponsors should come in handy.

    Ibe will be back, he’s done the hardest part opening up about his demons, he’ll be getting the help he needs, he has a young family to support so he’ll get the hunger back. He wasn’t a £15m player for nothing  just a few seasons ago so when he does come back healthy in body and mind we’ll see a proper player.

    I don't think Rooney wants Marriott anywhere close to his team. 
    Ibe's career as a footballer is slowly dying. Hope he get's his health back, but I'd be surprised to see him playing for us.
    Duncan has been behind Cresswell, Trialist and Stretton but should have a chance with U23 this season. It's up to him to take it, but what we have seen so far is a player not even closely good enough for the first team.
    If some of them makes to the starting line-up next season, I'm really surprised. I wish that Ibe would, though. That would mean better health for him.

    So much talent, yet so little return. Marriott just can't be arsed to train and as such, he's not going to get the game time he needs to be match sharp. He never seems more than half fit and is constantly picking up niggles as a consequence. He's had a bunch of chances now and just doesn't seem to care about football that much and Derby County even less. It's gutting to feel this way as I was so certain he was going to be the next Bobby D, but I fear his ship has sailed. If he doesn't show up to pre-season raring to go, I'd be shipping him out to anyone who'll have him just to get some of his wages off the books.
    Having been sympathetic to Jordon's issues, I saw a video recently where far from acknowledging the support of the club, or the fans for that matter, he seemed to be saying that there was no support at all, at least until that fateful Insta post that had everyone hopping about. He actually came across as pretty resentful that there'd not been more done for him at Derby, but this is a football club and I'm not entirely sure what he expects. Also seemed to resent that fact that he'd been questions raised over his frequent lateness for training. Having believed he'd be an epic signing, I'm now fast losing faith that he'll be even remotely meaningful for us. He says he's in a better place now and good to go, but I'm not feeling it to be honest. To my mind, the club, the fans and the coaching staff HAVE tried to be supportive and patient, now it's up to Jordon. If it's not to be then fine, but don't be making out that you've not been given a shot, nor that most fans have not been encouraging and patient.
    As for Duncan, well he's just vanished into the footballing ether. I'm not sure he's even had an U23 start yet, let alone threatened the senior squad. When he has, it's been hard to see what all the fuss is about. Perhaps he needs a run of games, but one has to then ask, why, if he's the 'wunderkind' we were led to believe, has he not been able to secure a few more starts?  Perhaps he's not as good as the Scouse faithful and he himself thinks? The only mitigating factors I can see being there's a some decent players in front of him to dislodge for him to be starting games, but that hardly bodes well for his senior career.
    All in all, three depressing signings thus far for me, with little to indicate that this will change soon, if ever. Historically I've always been super supportive where the players are concerned, but this is a season where I'd really like to see one or two more kick on. The way I see it, it's the last chance saloon for two of them. Duncan, at least, has time on his side, but if the other two fail at Derby, I can't see other clubs rushing in to take a flyer. 
    Sorry for the less than cheery post! ?‍♂️

    The only one that might realistically play is Marriott in my mind and he would need to start well or he would be finished

    It might only be a pipe dream but I feel like these three keep getting completely forgotten at the minute by Derby fans (myself included)
    If we can - somehow, anyhow - get them fit and firing and somewhere back to their best, the squad will already look much much better before any transfers are even done. ?

    Aha ! The final nail in the coffin... The EFL announce their new approved ball for the coming season and then Gibson tells them that DCFC have been playing with a slightly different ball for years now and that we should be deducted 1000 points, chucked out the league or just declared insolvent. It's all part of the plan I tell you....

    Should play with these, toughen the players up again. Take one of these to the face, or the thigh on a cold December afternoon and you know about it. None of this padded, aerodynamic nonsense. Players these days don’t know they’re born.

    Here’s my away kit concept. Mash up of 1886-1888 four colour one, 1984 centenary home kit and then the universally loved yellow/blue/red (even though EVERYONE hates red on our shirt, right?!?) 1993/94 away. Thrown on a few different sponsors who are our current and then the biggest local employers. What do you lot think of this then… ??

    Here’s the one I worked up for last year – so it’ has the 32 Red sponsors logo, and it’s using the Bukhta away kit from 93/94 that @Ramarena mentioned too. I shared it on my Twitter and Facebook, but not here.
