Bris Vegas Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 What's difficult about it all? The transfer window was open for two months. TWO MONTHS. There should be absoloutely no sympathy for those who miss out. We tried to panic buy, and missed out. Good! As panic buying has served us so well in the past hasn't it?

i-Ram Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Just spent a good 45 minutes reading through this thread. Makes me pretty happy l don't sit in the stands with a great many of the posters, and enormously grateful that l will never find myself in the trenches with them.

Never had you down as one of the blind faith brigade. Couldn't care less about this player. Rather have Elsnik, Guy and Bryson at the club fighting it out for that position. But, this just highlights the ineptitude and bizarre decisions made by the club since ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramblur Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Whilst I'm disappointed with the outcome,life has taught me that you have to make the most of setbacks and try and turn them to your advantage.In the age of the constant quest for the 'Holy Grail',I've often thought that the best chance that a kid might get would derive from an 'emergency' situation.This may not occur,but there's now a better chance that it might. Fate has determined that Callum Guy wasn't sent out on loan, and now can't go out till January. If he can get himself match fit,then he surely at least comes into squad contention.I hope the lad sees this himself,which I've no doubt he will,but I hope he doesn't overstretch in an attempt to get match fit.There must be a good chance of an opportunity for the kid.If we get injuries and someone who has no experience of midfield is thrust in,I'll despair (assuming one of the injuries isn't to Guy).

It isn't necessarily panic buying if the player you want isn't being made available by the selling club. Read the Barnsley statement they identified their player over two months ago, but were only able to sign him at the last moment of deadline day. Is it really too difficult to understand that teams don't want to release players if they are uncertain of a replacement. Weren't Birmingham waiting on signing Song?

You were right then, as l am no blind faither. Neither am l a cheerleader for Morris. The club have made a big mistake, no argument, but the huge number of posters on here taking this opportunity to deride the club leads me to question their support and backbone.

Not really, as the club statement said the club appealed against the original decision and the EFL board turned down the appeal today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BramcoteRam84 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Some people on here actually want Derby to fail. They're delighted this has happened as because they are desperate to moan, they are born negative!! Have a word with yourselves those people!! That said, I'm normally a positive poster but this has pissed me off royally! This is a c*** up of epic proportions and we will be deservedly a laughing stock for a few weeks. The worst thing about it for me is we sold Bryson, the only senior midfielder with any energy!! Why could we have not made a rational decision that if Kieftenbeld wasn't lined up by the time Bryson's deal needed to be done then we don't complete?!! Huddlestone and Johnson doesn't work, Johnson is useless, there is no other word to describe him...my opinion but I'll need to get behind him now, although I hope this means Guy will be given a chance. It's still been a reasonable window for Derby and we have been far more of a shambles in the past (selling rasiak without replacement) but it's still not good. Furthermore, with some of the ridiculous negativity around, Rowett has just made the next 4 months a lot harder than it would've been. He will need results more than ever as the negative vultures will be out (wrongly!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Arch Deacon Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 After an indifferent end to last season most posters on here suggested GR should be given the summer transfer window to hush the doubters and show his true credentials. Well after an indifferent pre-season, indifferent start to the season and a shambolic transfer window what are the views now?. IMO, he was never the right appointment, and he'll be gone by end of October!!!! There.....I said it!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jagerbob Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Moral of the story, dont try and sign a player who cant make it into the club to deal with the paperwork. Too big a risk. WE always here how players travel to a club before 11pm to get the deal sorted. THis guy was in Holland his agent in UK, no amount of phone calls, emails with the documents can tell him... sign here mate. The guy signed the wrong bit of the form, and he had to do it again, and all the time documents being sent to him and then being sent onto the EFL.
