He wouldn't have said it if he didn't think he had something in place though , things change quickly in football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollycutts1982 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Rule #1 - don't over promise and under deliver. Doesnt he realise how many wrist slashers are amongst the Derby County fan base. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe what he said, and I also believe what he said isn't what appears to be the definition most of the fans here are prescribing too. I can't see it being the type of marquee playing people are for some reason craving (despite seeing it failing in the near past), however, it is likely to be a good player, that you may not know a lot about, which is going to fit well in this team.

KBB Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Has our manager simply not given an opinion that might not match a fans? He hasn't "promised" anything, more said the player will be of a high standard. Now his opinion of which players can be called this standard may differ from others. Say we signed a young kid on loan from the prem? Gary might think he is a very talented, very good signing, fans might think he is a nobody and only on loan.

How much do you think a Range Rover costs?!?!?! I think you'd get a fairly decent one for less than £150k Maybe he's buying an entire fleet of Range Rovers? To block the entrance to the stands - So that none of us can be there to complain for the first home game of the season where he unveils someone from Ilkeston as his marquee signing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ince was a proven goalscorer in this division, so naturally anyone that is deemed a worthy replacement would have to be proven at the same level or higher which would therefore, by nature, make him a marquee signing. It's not necessarily panic-buying someone like Blackman based on a short term record but buying someone based on proven quality of a similar (if not higher) standard than Ince...

YorkshireRam Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Nixon: ''Sheyi Ojo. Allowed to talk to Middlesbrough Derby and Fulham about a loan. Newcastle only get him if they buy...''

Guest Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 He'll choose the "London pull" probably of Fulham. Go to London Sheyi, I guarantee you'll either be mugged or not appreciated. Catch the train to London, stopping at Rejection, Disappointment, Backstabbing Central and Shattered Dreams Parkway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YorkshireRam Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 22 minutes ago, eddie said: Martin? yes, I forgot Fulham transformed Martin into a winger Jokes aside, your point is valid in that Martin's goal input should match, if not surpass, Ince's; but what's slightly more worrying is that Ince was our only winger with any sort of end product so despite his goals being replaced, we're left with a dip in quality with our wide players. This is why, ideally, i'm sure we'd all like to see 2 wingers come in (Lawerence + Ojo would do nicely!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
