Blondest Goat reacted to BramcoteRam84 in January Reinforcements
We clearly didn’t have the money to compete with other rival clubs for transfers, that or we refused to pay over the odds for Smith or Gregory. Selling Bird wasn’t in the plan unless we got a good offer which we did and we’ve got him for the season, I would hope we can use that money in the summer.
How in any way is this down to Warne?. People will say Ward Bradley Fornah (although most were supportive of those transfers at the time), I will raise you Hourihane Smith Collins Mendez Laing Barkhuizen who I would bet any money will be in the top 5-10 earners at the club, none signed by Warne and of them people only want Mendez (although I also like Collo). However it is dressed up we’re still being restricted by an EFL business plan. We should hopefully have wriggle room in the summer (unless this really is the limit of Clowes spending in which case we potentially have some issues).
They tried but ultimately we go with what we’ve got. Overall we’re stronger than when we started the window. Washington just needs stay fit and be our second striker to Collo. In fairness he was starting to look good when he got injured.
You’d be fools to write us off. I remember 2015 January window, we were top 2 and signed Bent Ince Lingard De Sart and we were thinking what a window we’ve just nailed promotion. Look how that turned out - we didn’t even make the playoffs!

Could've sworn you said it was Ward that was leaving.

Has this come out of the blue Simmo or had you heard whispers from your ITK link?

Blondest Goat reacted to Ambitious in Max Bird - flew the coop to Bristol City, loaned to us to end of season
Only 6 teams have scored fewer goals and him playing in the 10 scoring only twice, creating only three goals, probably is the main cause of that.
Still, he does work hard and fans love a trier, but when you want a player to step up and win a game - he isn’t that guy.

Blondest Goat got a reaction from FlyBritishMidland in No midfield control again…
No. I don't particularly enjoy the way we play but I enjoy us winning and being within touching distance of the automatics.
For what it's worth I think we'll probably miss out on automatics and probably lose in the playoffs. I think we're too predictable and inconsistent. The better teams will be able to nullify our threats and exploit our weaknesses. It'll be disappointing but not the end of the world.
I just don't feel the need to bitch about it at every opportunity, or twist everything to be a negative about the manager. Or write off players who have had no time to show what they're capable of. I just can't see what you're getting out of it. If I felt like that I'd stop watching / supporting us.

Honestly have no idea why or what you get out of supporting Derby. Just a constant stream of moans about players or the manager. You only ever say anything good as a means of slagging off something else. I get you don't like the manager and there are plenty on here who have relevant things to say in that respect . Not you though. Utterly pathetic.

Blondest Goat reacted to Jourdan in Warne Out Out
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you will be hearing a lot more about Rosenior in the coming weeks, months and years.
First he will guide Hull into the play-offs beating Leeds in the final, then he will keep them in the PL.
This will be just in time to be appointed England manager for the 2026 World Cup. He will guide us to the final before losing to France.
He will be a national hero. Meanwhile we’ll still be in League 1 with Warne.
These FA assessors are a chatty bunch.

I expect Liverpool are consulting that FA assessor about who they should appoint to replace Klopp.
And if your opinion is swayed by one person disagreeing with you what does that say about you?

Blondest Goat reacted to Gee SCREAMER !! in Wildsmith
Based on current fitness levels at the club I assume he'll have got Dengue Fever, Measles, and a torn hamstring over the last 3 weeks. Still slightly fitter than Elder however, or the Albatross as he's better known.

Wilson has not jumped ahead of him. Nyambe will be straight back in.
Question is - will Wilson stay on the RW with NML or will Wilson drop to the bench.
NML is way more effective out wide and assuming CBT is always on the left, we have our wingers.
We are desperate for a 10 or a creative attacking midfielder. That for me is the most important position we sign.

Don’t want Fornah or Ward to leave because I still think they both have a lot to offer.

I guarantee Paul, when asked for an update tomorrow will say something to the effect
"I've got half the targets in I would have liked, there is one more I'd like to do, it's footballs worse kept secret who that player is, we've tabled an offer, it's a good one, well I wouldn't turn my nose up at it, but it's down to the club. If we don't get him, so be it, will we have enough? That remains to be seen, but it's up to me to get the best out of them"
