StringerBell Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 "Interesting too what it says about the wally with the brolley. Trying to buy success rather than maximising the potential of his squad? " This is about Ince and Lingard signing on loan They've just tried to buy a teenager for 5 million FFS!

Ambitious Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Bournemouth could have smashed our record transfer budget today by some way on a kid from Birmingham and they're biting at us for bringing in two loan players when we've lost two wingers in recent weeks. Straws. Clutching. At. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kernow Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 One thing you can take from reading rivals' forums is that they now seem to be vary wary, and very worried about us occupying one of the promotion spots. There isn't enough room for the likes of Boro, Bournemouth, Ipswich etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uptherams Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 We had revenue from the Play offs to spend in the summer. We did. Our attendances are up this season and we have had runs in both cups. A match on TV and still in the FA cup. Chelsea was a sell out. Combined FA cup close to 50,000 with another match around the corner at home in the FA cup. Yet we have barley spent anything on transfer fees since Thorne. Our activity for this season has been sensational. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StringerBell Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 I remember how the playoff final was billed as the good guys versus the bad guys. Now we've turned into QPR cos we signed a few players on loan and a defender for half a million quid? Wow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Didn't Dawkins go off injured on Saturday? That's 3 of 4 wingers down in the space of two weeks. We're just bringing our numbers back up to scratch. With everybody fit the initial reaction is to think that we're top heavy on wingers but I'd imagine that the Forest game would have highlighted to McClaren the importance of Hughes and he now sees Dawkins as a natural back-up for him. Two runners - Bryson & Hendrick Two dictators - Hughes & Dawkins Four wingers - Ward, Russell, Ince & Lingard Buying success? We're doing the sensible thing in such circumstances. They're welcome to be 'pure' though and if ever Ritchie and Pugh get injured replace them internally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Don't think so. Well didn't looked like it from my view on Saturday though. He got badly clattered about 2 minutes before he went off. I can't say that was the reason he went off though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Straight shoutout between us and Boro now IMO. Bournemouth's lack of activity will kill them, and Ipswich were never really in it. I could live with us, Boro and Ipswich going up. Better that than yet another pisspot club trying to buy their way to success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, I think it'll be us, Boro & Bournemouth, hopefully in that order but it'll be close! Although I think Ipswich will be fine for a play-off place & will be likely to miss out on autos I wouldn't say they were never in it nor are they out of it yet. A weekend of results in their favour and they'd be joint top. Their recent results have been disappointing though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 I'd be annoyed if I was an Ipswich fan - really annoyed. They've got themselves in a wonderful position and they bring in Freddie Sears and Noel Hunt. I just can't fathom it. Can you imagine the reaction if we brought in one of those players?

Guest Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Bit of a blow for them to have worked so hard to get one player for their promotion challenge ... and to have FAILED, especially after offering 5 million. Ouch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 We need Ince and Lingard to hit the ground running. If they do, then we will win the League. McClaren has thought very carefully about which players to sign. No doubt that one of Ince or Lingard might be asked to do the Hughes job at some time. Bent, Lingard, Ince, Albentosa, Warnock are all trying to get in the team. Derby County have now got more options for different formations than they have had for decades. Could I pick the first team? I put my hand up and say that I could not. McClaren has been given exactly what he wanted and he now has an embarrassment of riches to cover any eventuality. My advice to all Derby County players is to have an excellent attitude, think promotion and take your chance when you get it. Do not knock on Steve McClaren's door and tell him that you think that you should be playing every game. We are going up for sure. COYR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
