Derbyram1983 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I don't want anymore signings until summer. We keep rushing into signings that clearly aren't improving the squad. Anya, Blackman, Camara, Weiman and vydra. We're not going to get into the top six and if we did we obviously can't compete with these teams. I think the sort of players we're signing on massive wages just are t the type we need. Hopefully we can sell a few in the summer as well as bent and Bairds contracts are up so we will have room for manoeuvre. We need a good squad not a big squad. I can't remember the last good signing that actually broke into the first team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
horizon Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 None of those are McClaren signings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie20 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 If we don't make anymore signings in this window then we're unlikely to make the playoffs with the current squad. The last thing we need is additions who will challenge the incumbents or provide backup - if there are to be new players then they need to be definite starters. The only 2 players we have been linked with (rumour or actual) who in my opinion meet this requirement have been Sako and Hourihane but I'm not confident on either coming to Pride Park.

Sparkle Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 I know what you are saying and if we do make more signings I would like them to be based on what we are going to do next season, we would be very lucky to be promoted this season as it stands.

Can't disagree with that. Quality over quantity needed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t'oldu Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 it really doesn't matter who we play/who we buy as long as we have a manager whose only formation is so easy to nullify and whose only tactical change is to bring on fresh legs, leaving the players to go on floundering and eventually lose the will to live as the season hiccups to a close. We've been there. done that, got the tee-shirt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Sheriff Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 none of them you mentioned have had a fair crack of the whip. Give them a flurry of games in their natural positions then make statements. Until then it seems harsh to overcast a judgement. Wiemann for example i think will leave and could be brilliant for someone else in a central role. Then we will say 'why didn't he do that for us?' Answer is he never got a fair run to do so!

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 We don't need more numbers, I'm starting to think wed do better with a thinner squad of the right players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All 4 being crocked is ridiculous, and Hanson isn't ideal cover, but, we will have some back soon. Not had a CB injury all season. The way it goes sometimes.

Millenniumram Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 We most definately do need new signing, this squad needs a shake up in certain positions- the spine of the team is good but we could do with upgrades in other positions- in particular cm and lw imo, as well as the return of Chris Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
