Ambitious Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 True, although Doyle looks like he could be heading there. Once upon a time he was a good player, but has deffo lost his way. Let's hope he doesn't recapture his form for them. Worst player I saw all last season, awful. I'd rather sign Simon Cox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Kevin Doyle? Are QPR signing him? He's w@nk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCAR Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So, Hobbs expected to sign for Forest before the transfer deadline... ... would be a good signing for sure... would be nice to see Derby sign someone but don't think it will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knowle Rohrer Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 McClaren seems pretty content to be back in English football and build a team up slowly which is financially sustainable which is probably why he will be a massive success with you in the long run. Its why he failed so miserably at Forest. And Doyle has not been prolific for years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoners Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Worst player I saw all last season, awful. I'd rather sign Simon Cox 5 from 15 Not bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 McClaren has a record of W12 D3 L3 since he came back to Derby, and not spent a significant fee doing it. Success in the long run maybe, but he's delivering right now. Your lot would love to know how to get that kind of record without spending £5m a season on players and having a mental wage bill. Anyroadup. How long has it been since Derby and the florists were in direct competition over such an extended period in the league? It's starting to wind up and get a bit more serious as a rivalry because it feels like there's more on it. Or is it just me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddesdenRam Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Fair play to Forest. Been a good window for them. Djebbour, Hobbs and Fox are good signings. Well the jurys still out on this turkish guy. However as pointed out they will be on very high wages for this level. If they don't get promoted soon the FFP changes will surely catch up with them. I think our utilisation of the loan market will be more sustainable and fruitful for us in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaddesdenRam Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 So how much is that now do we reckon? 10 mil ish spent this season alone? Kelvin Wilson Abdoun Mackie Paterson i think Wilson was 2.5 million, the others were all around a million. So thats a minimum of 5.5 million. Then Hobbs Vaughan Gomis Fox Djebbour I really don't know how much they have spent and God knows the wage bill at that club. With the sale of Brayford, Jacobs, Doyle and Robinson. Then buying Russell, Dawkins, Roos and Forsyth we have actually made a profit. Both teams are in a very similar position so i guess it shows the two methods of doing it. Both clubs should be very happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted January 31, 2014 Share Posted January 31, 2014 Guys - FFP won't be enforced until December so they will be okay for one more window in the summer. Buy now get them in and then take the embargo next January with a massive squad to swallow injuries and suspensions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's starting to wind up and get a bit more serious as a rivalry because it feels like there's more on it. Or is it just me? Fair points, my post did imply that success would only come in the long run. I was really envious of you two seasons ago when we were lucky not to be relegated and you had a very steady season which was an improvement on a couple of seasons of struggle on a low wage bill, whereas we were paying massive wages to garbage players like Miller, Greening and Derbyshire. This is not his team, Nigel Clough did well at building a talented side but could not get the best out of them. It will be interesting to see what happens when McClaren starts making signings as that is not his forte based on his time with us and Middlesbrough. The last time we were competing was the 03/04 season when we struggled against relegation. Had we won the "coffee cup" 4-2 defeat you would have gone down and we would have put ourselves pretty much safe, whilst I remember that dragged us right back down there again. Fantastic window for us, we have a fantastic depth in squad everywhere on the pitch. Fawaz must be wanting us to have a good tilt for second position.
