bcnram Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I'd say Whitbread was signed on the same weekend Clough was sacked? I'm pretty sure he was.It was announced pretty much immediately the sacking was I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 It's also true we can't do a lot of spending for while and the bulk of the squad is what we've got. Plus, we've got things done by paying. Thought Whitbread wasfree agent when we got him as Festa had released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 On September 29, 2013, Derby County announced that Whitbread had signed on a three-month loan deal.

YorkshireRam Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Albentosa was the end for me. It was his marquee signing. Where are all his lovers anyway? Is he proving how amazing he is back in Spain.Well he's playing for a team far superior to us, earning solid reviews and has been an ever present in their side since he joined so... yes!

SaintRam Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Personally, I think it's harsh to criticise signings that are not bought in for the first team. Every manager buys fringe players who don't really get involved.A squad filler still has to do something when he plays. You don't sign people purely to have their name on a big list of players. Although I personally don't consider Mascarell a miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I personally don't consider Mascarell a miss. fair enough, but which players didn't do 'something'? Define 'something' as it's very subjective as to what that something is. Simply someone like Leon Best could've been bought in to keep the opposition busy whilst Martin recovered/rested, yet you lot think because he didn't score 300 goals in his 300 minutes, he was a failure. Same with Warnock, he cannot be considered a failure yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 I always got the impressions that the loan signings were all down to the coaching staff. We were interested in Thorne in October 2013 and Butland was massively rated by Steele, as a couple of examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Personally, I think it's harsh to criticise signings that are not bought in for the first team. Every manager buys fringe players who don't really get involved.I will like to think that all signings are brought in to fight for a place in the first team and those that fail to push for a place are rightly judged. Evans deserves to getting sacked not let him resign if he's been allowed to go identify players that are nowhere good enough for the team.Warnock - Miss - Squad filler, cannot be considered a missPlayer of the season at Leeds prior to joining us, doubt he was brought in just to make up the numbersMascarell - Miss - No chance, our fall coincided with his injury.Our fail coincided with Eustace and Martin getting injured, not Mascarell, if Omar was called Dave Bloggs and came from Burton putting the same performances in no way would anyone be singing his praises or trying to find him a new position in the team. Sexy Spanish name, Real Madrid, hook line and sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Don't pretend people were over expectant of Best, in his entire time here he got one assist and no goalsI don't get which angle you're coming from. Are you saying that you deludedly expected Bent-like scoring figures from him, and are disappointed? or are you saying that you knew he was **** and are harshly judging him even though he matched your expectations? He was a squad filler, on the cheap. The criticisms should go to whoever limited us to cheap squad fillers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted September 28, 2015 Share Posted September 28, 2015 Funny that the only photo Radio Derby could find of Chris Evans for there tweet was one of him shaking Macs hand.... Reading between the lines... Are the local media/press happy he's gone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
