Really nasty player with a lot less ability than he thinks he has. I would be underwhelmed by Lansbury, but a nasty player in the middle is what we are missing.... again.

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 I like how he gets the hump when his deliberately vague tweets get a response. He knew what reaction they would get but still has a moan when it inevitably happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Perhaps the clue is "East Midlands" and it means Ulloa could be coming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal is a Ram Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Wonder if this whole saga went along the lines of Burke being sold, Assombalonga unhappy, wants out, but is offered more money after Derby express an interest.

Day Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Nixon tweets, 2+2=5, those that couldn't add up then accuse Nixon of backtracking Meltdown could easily be selling Martin and replacing him with an absolute duffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eustace/Buxton type players who keep their traps shut and hammer trouble makers when the ref isn't looking, then there's Lansbury type nasty which means being a little gobshite who is all mouth and no trousers.

A real nasty player. You might be right but it doesn't mean I have to like it. In all my years watching the Rams (way too many) I've seen some right dross but the player I least liked watching was Martin Kuhl, if memory serves brought in after Lionel basically bought the England U21 team only to find it didn't work. I hope it wasn't true but it looked to me as though Kuhl was going out to deliberately injure the opposition and I get that same impression when I watch Lansbury. Don't want him.

One thing Mel Morris has proven is that he can get whatever and whoever he wants not just because of money but because he's a shrewd negotiator. And I think he would rather have Assomba than kodjia.

If paying £6 million for a plyer who doesn't fit in to the team and is barely getting on the bench is shrewd negotiating then Mel's the dumbest shrewd negotiator in town.

thekingofbuxton Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Lansbury would be class as a replacement for hendrick - id imagine its seriously unlikely though Ulloa makes sense as a Martin replacement (is anything happening with Martin?)

The whole transfer, from the outside looking in at least, appeared amateurish. We were alerted to his availability the night before we signed him and only signed him because the opportunity arose. The player himself only arrived in Derby at three in the afternoon and the deadline shut at six. We were efficient at getting the deal over the line - but did we not negotiate price? Discuss his role in the team? A medical and contract negotiations done and dusted in less than three hours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Discuss his role in the team? A medical and contract negotiations done and dusted in less than three hours? Precisely. A shrewd negotiator knows what he's getting in a deal and how they're going to use thing they've bought. It's one of the most amateurish things I've ever seen from someone who is supposed to be a master businessman. From what I'm aware we just asked Norwich their price and paid it. No attempt to negotiate. It really was amateur hour that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
