North_Stand_Ram Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thorne's will certianly beat Russell's if/when he signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted July 2, 2014 Share Posted July 2, 2014 Thorne and Russell's were both very dramatic, but on Russell's we didn't have any Dundee fans arguing with us. Whatever happens with Thorne I think there'll be a mass argument on that thread with WBA fans involved. Hopefully it'll be us gloating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it'll be us gloating.You call the West Brom fans' posts "arguing with us", I thought it was more barely intelligible drivel from the dregs of their supporters who by the looks of it were barely welcome on their own forums. Why else would those few be infecting most threads on here.There's been the odd good discussion with a good West Brom poster, but most of them are poorly researched and seemed to know little about Thorne beyond him being "THEIRS!!!!!"

Alph Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ross McCormack should not be on there. It was a new poster claiming to be friends with McCormack. WTF? Varney and Tyson. Jeez, dark days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I was embarrassed by the hype built up around Russell last summer. I like him as a player, and he is very quick, but my god how you were all bleating how we'd just signed the next Lionel Messi and how he would be our 20 goal a seasons striker etc... Was proper cringeworthy. Especially given that nobody had seen him play and a youtube clip of him running rings around a few Scottish teams the equivalent of our conference meant he was some kind of superstar. The George Thorne thread has been better this time - more realistic anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I can't remember reading the Russell one. To be honest, transfers under Clough were boring. Not poor or anything. Just boring. Even Brayford was a boring transfer. The most exciting for me was actually Sammon. I'd seen him play a couple of times and was impressed with his pace and his size. I thought he could be moulded into a beast. Under McClaren, Dawkins wasn't exciting, Bamford was, Wisdom was a bit mixed. He'd played for Liverpool in important games but looked a bit out of place imo. Oh I forgot Bueno. That's 2 exciting transfers in the Clough era for me. (Again I'm not referring to quality) The one I dreaded was Tyson. Right from the start I hoped it was an idle rumour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 The one I dreaded was Tyson. Right from the start I hoped it was an idle rumour. I still think it is. Must have been paper talk which got a little out of hand? Like, surely Clough didn't actually try to sign him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 I still think it is. Must have been paper talk which got a little out of hand? Like, surely Clough didn't actually try to sign him? I still can't believe we bought an injured striker that never scored goals and we ended up getting an injured striker that never scored goals.

Alph Posted July 3, 2014 Share Posted July 3, 2014 Why not? Derby Telegraph confirmed DCFC were monitoring the situation with Ross McCormack Just think that bidding was always going to start above our record transfer that we paid for a Premier League campaign. Even if we were interested I think right from the off we'd be breaking our transfer record and blowing our full budget. I just don't think it had much wind in its sales. It started off from a new poster who made quite a claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
