SaintRam Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I'm not disappointed in this signing, I'm sure he'll do OK and I believe we'll get more out of him than Brighton personally. However I don't think this does all that much to strengthen our weaknesses in terms of personnel and I'd want to see some other deals done. I do believe we still need a winger, and could do with a RB and forward although theyre not a necessity imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I didn't think we needed another striker to be fair. You'd have to be a pretty piss poor excuse of a manager not to get goals out of Darren Bent and Chris Martin, therefore I wasn't worried. My worry is that, should we insist on playing four in midfield with wide midfielders, that we don't really have anyone comfortable playing there. Darren Currie in his pomp would be a huge step up on those we have currently. two wingers, perhaps a central midfielder, and maybe a right back.

North_Stand_Ram Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Got off the phone to my mate who supports Brighton and said he was good for them. But played wide a fair bit, so might not be coming in to play down the middle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Derby fans are disgraceful. Already criticising a player before he has even signed. I bet none of you had heard of Thorne when he signed on loan and criticised him. Ibe was one of our better players a few years ago when he came in on loan so the loan market is useful, wisdom and Dawkins were also good loan in comings . Do you need reminding of Martin's goal record before coming here permanently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Have a look at Owen Bradley's timeline since he tweeted about Wilson. Some of our fans are slating him and he hasnt even signed yet. I cant imagine our fans have seen him more than once. Yet that is enough for them to not want him. Nothing like giving a player a chance before judging the lad. Then again. Most of our fans are horrific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintRam Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 He didn't do much for Brighton last season, but the form of Brighton's players meant he was played out of position (wide) when he started. The kid is VERY highly thought of at Man Utd, and that means something. He can't be *****, it's simply not plausible. The best academy in the country.

It's the mentality since Sky Sports have got their hands on the game. Stability is now criticised, Sky promote the idea that change is good and the norm. I watched Sky sports earlier and their pundit criticised Wenger for not overspending on players. Yes he criticised Wenger for NOT overspending! They even have a premier league spending calculator gloating it around like it is a good thing. Fans demand instant success now because of the money in the English game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
satty atwal Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Derby fans have every right to be underwhelmed at our 1st signing of the summer 5-6 weeks after window opened.... pathetic.... if we have ffp issues then we would all understand.... but nobody from the club has ever come out and said this so what does everyone expect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before you say martin was similar before he arrived he was in a batch of signings if memory serves correct not the 1st signing of a new era?

needles Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I said weeks ago that I couldn't care less if we don't sign anyone this window. Let Pearson see this bunch and work out what he can do with them and what he needs. The load of signings we made last year have never done the business, but I'll bet at least one can come through and be a mainstay...give them chance. If we can't get better at reasonable money, why bother signing anyone? We've got a big squad, and a good squad. It's quality we need not quantity, plus any specific roles NP wants filled. Wilson, well, if he signs, good luck to the lad. Wouldn't have been my pick, but then I knows about it than NP does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if our only signing was Wilson I still wouldn't be branding the transfer window 'pathetic.' I'd be disappointed because I think we need a winger, but wouldn't start the wrist slashing just yet. This team has been up fighting near the top for 3 years and on paper still have 1 of the best teams in the league. Hopefully Pearson can be the man to get them playing to their full potential.

How many of our regular 28,000 or so have slated him? A dozen or so people passing opinion on social media whether they think he's good enough or not is hardly the end of the world.
