Anag Ram Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Our transfer dealings, other than Thorne, smack of a club that's strapped for cash. We came up short last year. Are we really expecting the team, minus Thorne, Wisdom and Bamford, to be 10% better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SK47 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I duno why people are rejecting him before he's even walked through the door. Anyone would of thought we were losing Martin in return.. Don't worry.. We're not. Those who are saying "we should hold out for a top loan" need to remember Martin is our number 1 striker.. Regardless of who comes in, So they would have to be prepared to sit on the bench which defeats the object of goin on loan. In Best, You get a proven goal scorer at this level.. Knows the league well and is miles better than Sammon. I can assure you, If Best plays in our team (Based on him being injury free), He could grab 10+ goals just off the bench alone. It works for me!

SK47 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 or we could just play two up front..? Yeah because a 442 worked so well for us last season. Why didn't I think of that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i-Ram Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah because a 442 worked so well for us last season. Why didn't I think of that! I think Sk47 that SuperSheep might have been supporting your argument - there will be more times this year when we might have to go with 2 up front to change things when we are not breaking teams down with our usual formation. Organised teams, say Leicester, Burnley and QPR off the top of my head, were able to neutralise our threat and we didn't really ever have a Plan B option available to us given the players available for selection. A good few more 'ugly' goals would be welcomed by me this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feris bueller day off Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'd be quite happy with this signing I tend to rate players by how well they have played against us and the impression you get as to what sort of player they are and how they would fit into our system. This guy has done well against us and seems a good fit for our system. We don't need a stellar signing because we play with one striker and Martin is top dog based on last year. Best or Murray would seem to fit the bill and I doubt Murray would want to come and warm out bench Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSheep Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Yeah because a 442 worked so well for us last season. Why didn't I think of that!was just inferring that I wouldnt want a player with over 10k wages on the bench. Besides that 442 was under the buffoon clough wasnt it?

Thierry Ennui Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 was just inferring that I wouldnt want a player with over 10k wages on the bench. We already have BRO Effectively swapping Sammon for Best is a no-brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thierry Ennui Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Also, I wish people would stop suggesting formation changes. We were top scorers last season, and the system we settled on unlocked the full potential of our most important player, Chris Martin. Maybe as a Plan B (as discussed above) we can throw another striker on but 4-3-3 is perfect for this team. Whoever comes in will be on the bench.

Smyth_18 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Don't know if already been mentioned but for me he is already a Derby legend. Scoring for us in the playoffs v Southampton and missing his penalty. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matty1 Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Think Best would be ok for the sort role we are after - no strong opinion either way. Was decent at Newcastle in the Prem for a short while, seems to have been permanently injured since though. I think a lot of the frustration for some is born out of the fact that we were supposedly 'monitoring the situation' of a player like McCormack at the start of the summer window. This inevitably then raised the level of expectation regarding the type of player we might be targeting. Since then it has become clear that we are simply seeking a striker who can cover/provide competition for Martin - this isn't going to be a high profile first team starter like McCormack, Glenn Murray etc. Looking at the summer window in broader terms, its easy to see both sides of the argument. Clearly we didnt need to upset the balance from what worked so well last year, and keeping hold of our star perfomers was the key foundation to build upon and has been rightfully applauded. However in terms of our budget, the majority of our eggs went in one basket with Thorne (fair enough) but after what has now happened with him, it seems to have come at the detriment of strengthening other areas of concern. Still, a few weeks left yet to resolve the issue so no hysterics Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
