We did but that does not affect the net spend does it? They knew Vyds was going it was just a question of how much they could get for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew Vyds was going it was just a question of how much they could get for him. It was very noticeable that we were doing very little business until Vydra went. It seemed as though we were risking losing our targets waiting for Vydra to leave. Something tells me (lampard) we have next to no money to spend and anything we do spend will be raised in transfers.

Once again I may be wrong, but I thought we did all, if not most before Vydra left? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems a big gamble if so, how did they know he was going and if so then surely if you are reliant on your incomings you would do them first?

They had an offer for £8 mill for Vydra from Leeds early in the window mate. Burnley were also interested and we sensibly allowed a mini-auction scenario to unfold. If you recall, the business done for Waghorn and Marriott was struck pretty late in the window and certainly well after the initial interest in Vydra so not seeing how we risked anything really. Worst case the net spend would have been £3 mill instead of £1 mill and Mel clearly okayed that or it simply wouldn't have happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends if you taking about the money not being available because MM isn’t making any available or because of FFP. If the latter, then I’d be very surprised at anyone making the decision to buy before we balanced the books, what if the teams pulled out (like Leeds did) or he failed his medical ? I also thought, once again may be wrong that the signings we made had to be cleared by the league first, some clubs had deals blocked because they had fallen foul to the rules, hence why I think we may have some leeway in the FFP pot....not that I would bet on that assumption though ?

Frank a big fan of TL, speaks highly of him and let’s be honest his is probably the only natural left sided player we have that is able to cut in on his right which is the way Lamps likes his wingers. besides which, we wouldn’t recoup much of the £7m we paid based on current form/injury. will be a big player for us in the second half of the season!!

Well Mel always stated that FFP was irrelevant though. The actual timeline for all the transfers can be found at… https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/every-deal-done-derby-county-1956764 The only really significant risk was the Waghorn deal as far as I can see and that could not have been completed without confirmation that Vyds was going. As it transpired, he was bought the day after we sold Vyds. I never believed that there was no money to spend and Frank confirmed that he did have some funds available in his interviews around that time. It’s not smart to broadcast that though so making noises about limited funds sends the right signals to prospective sellers. The point I was making is that those saying we spent a lot last window are way off the mark. We spent bugger all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
