rynny Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I think Billy Sharp for 1-1.5 million would be ambition. The last few seasons we seem to have got one or two million pound players. Sammon and Keogh this season, it was Shackell the season before. Rumours surrounding us going in for Baptiste and Martin players on frees could leave a bit of money for someone like Sharp i.e the million pound signing. Some people would argue however that this should be a given and simply signing one million pound striker would not be ambitious depends on what your outlook towards ambition is. Is it Leicester/Cardiff ambition or Derby County ambition.I don't care how much a player cost. It's about how he performs on the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddesdenRam Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 I don't care how much a player cost. It's about how he performs on the pitch. But then what about all the people that aren't renewing because of a lack of board ambition. I would argue most of them just look at the price tag.

North_Stand_Ram Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Oh C'mon. Whats gonna get the fans more excited. Signing a gem from the lower leagues (could be fantastic) or signing Billy Sharp. Whats going to get the season ticket sales? I agree, its about what happens on the pitch, but overall.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe more people were pleased with the signing of Jacobs than the signing of Sammon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly The quality of players on a saturday should be the dictator but because people look to renew their season tickets during the off season or near when transfer speculation starts it just seems to boil down to (in the eyes of many) how much $$$$ has been spent this summer. If Derby went and spent 10 million this summer crowds would increase guaranteed thats just the way it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats going to get the season ticket sales? I agree, its about what happens on the pitch, but overall.. Will players like Billy Sharp who has only featured in about 20 minutes of Premiership really increase season ticket sales much? Its fine spending money, but you should spend as little as possible and if fans think they only got promotion is by spending £10 million well they are deluded, B'burn have an £8 mill striker and they are two points below us. Our expensively assembled side in 08/09 were not up to much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will no doubt compare your technique unfavourably with spanish masturbation and self-fellatio and complain about a negative finish to the last 15 seconds of your w@nk.

Yet if we signed Phil Neville Richard Dunne Chris Brunt and Simeon Jackson all on free transfers people wouldn't be as enthused? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the players you have listed who we would spend money on are a bit odd. Nobody would spend 2 million on Greg Halford because that doesn't reflect his true market price. However I still think you theory is right. A more realistic example would be that I think more people would see the board 'backing nigel' if we spent 1.5 million on Billy Sharp than if we got Simeon Jackson on a free even though most people would say Jackson is a much better player. Just because people see oh we spent 1.5 million over oh he came on a free agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
