Pearson said we have bids in for 4 players; Forestieri, Wilson, Yedlin(?) and ______.

Looking to add, yes, but Pearson has said we'll only sign if they are an improvement on what we have and the price is fair. That isn't necessarily possible, and seeing as MR is in the know, he may be able to shed light on whether he too is just expecting more than Wilson in, or if he has information to suggest that it'll be very unlikely that Wilson is the only one.

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. 1st point.... in response to your previous post a point which i missed.... where u said they shouldnt rush signings and they should be allowed to fully analyse what we need, mel should know surely what we need after last season, and so should np after a full pre season and coming up against us a few years back (core of team is the same) 2nd point.... yes we have been up there fighting for 3 years playing arguably the best football in a long time, but we havent made it, we cant have a season or two of rebuilding and then push 3rd point.... regarding team being up there challenging whilst however we played 433, and pearson needs to get them playing to their full potential.... surely their full potential would be in the system they have come so close to success in during the last 3 years and not an alien formation with players players so horribly out of position.... ie.... butters on left wing, poor old bryson picking ball up from defence in a 2 man midfield, and our two best players on bench?

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. I'm not sure how it happened - Derby fans never used to be as thick as pigshit, but our new generation of bandwagon-jumpers who arrived in the last 3 or 4 years must have purchased record levels of entitlement from Forest or Leeds.

According to some we're signing players who aren't good enough despite our manager thinking otherwise so we shouldn't trust his judgement should we?

It's genuinely a really interesting question. When did it start? I seem to recall, after Wembley, Twitter started to become more of a toxic place. Is it expectation? Or is it half-fans who weren't around in the Clough (Nigel, that is) days that are jumping on a incomplete bandwagon and expecting Barcelona football?

I don't think it's a very good idea to let Mel decide what players we need to be signing, we saw how that worked out at Leeds and Forest. And yes Pearson got to see them in pre season, but nothing compares to the competitiveness of a league game. Pearson has said he's planning to utilise multiple formations and if the majority of these players can't play any other system than a 4-3-3, they're not going to have a very successful career.

Agree with most of your post here. Time will tell if he uses multiple formations, going back to my original point, think we need alot more than wilson, who imho is no upgrade on our first 11, will give him my undoubted support however when he is on the pitch. What has bothered me is the lack of transfer activity in areas where improvement is needed. This withstanding all my groans about this could be wiped out if what @MACKWORTHRAM said is true and there will be a few more signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We now have an experienced manager so we should give him some credibility on being able to sign the right sort of players to take us forward.
