Derby's downfall for many years has been picking players on reputation and NOT on merit or performance. The players who work hardest and perform best should get in the side. You really think Jake Buxton would be a great signing? Be a complete waste of money. If he does sign and plays more than a dozen full games for the club I'll gladly donate £20 to a charity of your choice. Totally bonkers signing for me. Especially if we don't move a centre half out. Cant wait for Stephen Pearson to sign then. I'm in disbelief at this signing if confirmed. A waste of 6 figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's based on the assumption that if we want to sign him we have takers for those two. We might not in which case there's no point. But if we do to me that's a no brainer? The usual suspects can make digs at Mel all they want. If he cared that much he'd have stopped him going in the first place. After all he's a meddler isn't he? Mel dug himself into every decision he's made..... quite gladly applaud him if he eve digs himself out and leaves me with egg on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uttoxram75 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Its too late for Jake now, if he comes back it should be as a coach not a player. We never managed to sign a better cb though despite all Mel's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was excellent along with Warnock that day. Hardly crap in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRBee Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Wishing to have Bucko back is pure sentiment. People are remembering him at his best which was 3 seasons ago. Forget him and move forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I don't agree. Buxton was bloody good in the air, despite his height, and we all know he could certainly play it from the back. I'd rather have a defender like Buxton, who we know can play from the back, rather than a clogger like Hanley. I don't think he's crap in this division. But that's my point he looked fine along side Keogh , who was then a commanding CH in our team, when Keogh was injured and Buxton was the main CH he looked halve the player , I give you Derby 4 - Ipswich 4 as an example I remember our defense was all over the place in that game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is an Internet forum, I've lost my left testicle on several signings yet it is still with me today. I think it was @DcFc Dyycheee who still yet to run through Derby City Centre naked over a signing as well. Anything but money, nobody holds you to it thankfully, would find it hard to explain to the missus if they did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 After the Birmingham game when we conceded 2 in added time I ranted on Facebook "we won't get promoted this season", someone called me crazy and bet me £1000 that we would get promoted. I took that bet (crazy I know). I never did hear from that mate again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Forgot the player for a minute and ask do we need another centre back? Is there real interest in Keogh, Pearce or Shackell? Any concrete offers made? Easy to say on the internet get rid of Shackell and bring Buxton back, might not be so easy in the real world. Barely played last season and hasn't kicked a ball since having back surgery, can't imagine any manager will touch him right now. As of today Buxton is looking for a club when we have zero need for a centre back, a squad that needs reducing and areas strengthened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your completely correct @David, unless we are confident we can move one of Pearce or Shackell on (and your right that it will be tricky to move shackell on) it'd be a little foolish signing Buxton.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 NIGEL CLOUGH’S Burton Albion are beating his old club Derby County to a deal for Jake Buxton. Veteran centre half Buxton has just ended his spell at Wigan early after expressing his desire to be closer to his family in Nottinghamshire. And he is set to return to the Pirelli Stadium despite rival interest from the Rams. Clough is able to offer Buxton a better chance of a game than Derby where he would be a squad player. The 32-year-old defender has already held talks with League Two Notts County. However, the opportunity to remain in the Championship looks to have proven too strong. Buxton played 42 times for the Latics last season in the second-tier after joining from Derby 12 months ago. Clough, who signed him first for Burton in 2008 and then took him to Pride Park when he was appointed manager there, had been interested in signing the star last summer. But his side were unable to match the financial offer from the Latics.https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/3893788/burton-boss-nigel-clough-beating-old-club-derby-to-deal-for-jake-buxton-after-his-release-by-wigan/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
