England Ram Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 4 minutes ago, MACKWORTHRAM said: Losing out on Lansbury hasn't bothered me. For 40k a week they can have him. This transfer was never going to happen. The thing that has really really wound me up is McClaren's comments yesterday. "Can we find better than what we have got? We have but they are out if our reach or not available. We did find one in Chrissy Martin" To be honest. Those comments are an absolute shambles. Ive said this before. But our recruitment team can't find any players available better than what we have? Better left wingers than Russell and Camara? Midfielder who can chip in with more than the 1 goal that Hughes and Butterfield have done? If they cant then get rid of the recruitment staff (unlikely when the managers and chairmans sons are in the recruitment team though) Then we see Villa close to signing Hourihane for ONE MILLION POUNDS. 1. He's clearly available. 2. He would improve us. So there's McClaren's theory out the window from one transfer. Not to mention what else is out there if you look for it. Our recruitment is a joke and so is the team involved. The only player they could find is Chris Martin. Who is our player anyway for ***** sake. There is no strategy. Nothing at all. Employ family members who genuinely have no clue about scouting or playing recruitment at all. Can somebody please tell me what Chris "I have a list of 10 players for every position" Evans does for this club? 10 players for every position he said. He must be awful at his job if a) none are available and b) they aren't better than what we have. Don't let this winning run we had cloud anything. The club has problems. I can't say what. Because I'll get in trouble. Shambles. And this is the type of question that Mel needs to seriously answer. As a fan base we've been raising these concerns for a while, even before Evans and Mac Jr came on board. And he's 'delighted' at what we've got? Besides the left back injury mess we are still short in some areas and unbalanced in others. So frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt like we had a voice and were part of the club. Now we don't see him, hear from him or get chance to ask questions. Happy with an underperfoming midfield with 1 goal between them? Happy with Russell and Camara. I think every Derby fan can see we need a goal scoring midfielder and a left winger (think we've needed one for the last 4 transfer windows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted January 20, 2017 Share Posted January 20, 2017 The ross macormack situation is interesting if they sign rhodes. maybe we were a bit quick to sign nugent? Macormack would suit us better, or could go to fulham in which case we could get one of their players. maybe aluko? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you ever considered that it is MM's money and maybe just maybe he has said there isn't much available. Have you ever considered anything before posting????

I think every Derby fan can see we need a goal scoring midfielder and a left winger (think we've needed one for the last 4 transfer windows) Mel Morris just can't win can he? A year ago he was criticised on here by many who said that he was too high profile, getting involved in issues which shouldn't concern him etc etc. Now he's getting knocked for being invisible, we hardly ever hear from him! The guy who seems to be conspicuous by his absence is Sam Rush, after all, isn't he the Chief Executive? I do wonder if, after the Pearson debacle and more significantly the 'Martin' affair, if he is very much keeping his head below the parapet?

Don't say we can't find anything better. Ive not bought up once about Mels money. Its not about money. Its about our scouting/recruitment department who are piss poor at their jobs. But what do we expect when we appoint under qualified people. I consider a lot before posting. Do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
