TomTom92 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Sad state of affairs but we have very few assets. Cashin and Bird are the only players that could command a 7 figure fee. The rest are either too old, too poor or expiring in the summer. Sounds like we might a forward in before deadline day but looking at last night’s performance will that be enough?

Not always easy to be a Rams fan, is it? It's just a very typical January window to be fair. We got ourself within touching distance of top 2, a couple of good signings and we could have kicked on. But, just like last year, we fail to strengthen the areas we need. Within a couple of weeks top 2 is looking a tough ask and even Barnsley behind us are a point behind with a game in hand. We have arsed it up Big time. Our number 1 striker target, we can't afford 🤣 ridiculous. Papahet and Dcfcsr92 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does Thomas bring to the party, seeing as Warnes signings tend to be people who he has managed before? Or in the case of CBT, well known in league 1 anyway. Do we scout in Scotland, Ireland, or even League 2 and non league? 🤔 jimtastic56, Dcfcsr92, Oldben and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know that he went to play for Pearson originally? How does manager Barton play football? I look forward to seeing Chris Martin take Collo's role and get just as much service.

I look forward to seeing Chris Martin take Collo's role and get just as much service. He signed a contract extension when Pearson was manager and, as Barton has been sacked by Rovers, I assume his style of football wasn't very successful (aside from questions as to why anyone would choose to play for a dick like Barton). It doesn't seem to me like the style of football was a big factor in his decisions in those cases? Dom Brady 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh and he won't be coming here for the service either, he'd join TJJ on the wing! 😄 Edited January 24 by RoyMac5 Dcfcsr92 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really, why can't we get a striker to sign then? 😄 I have no idea the style of play under Pearson or Barton. But Martin is a smart footballer who scores goals and except for being asked to play like Nuge is a very adaptable player. If he comes here it won't be for the football it'll be for the money. That was my point. You didn't back up your Pearson/Barton argument either, so hay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
