We have a small time manager, who, in general, buys bang average players, plays awful football and has a history of getting relegated from this division. I have never heard of Jerry Yates..which sums it up. On the upside, i do like Ben Osbourn... I do hope i am wrong, and we sign some fab players, play some great football, and Warne receives an OBE for entertaining the Sky Viewers... You not having heard of Jerry Yates just betrays that you have poor football knowledge, which is clarified further in the rest of your post.

We might not be, but if us as fans accept/settle for us surviving this season as a target, then signings like Yates become more understandable.

What does having heard of a player have to do with their viability as a signing? I’d never heard of Ebou Adams, Kane Wilson, Paulo Wanchope, Gregorz Rasiak, Craig Bryson, Robin Van Der Laan, Carbonari etc etc….it didn’t stop them coming in and having an impact on Derby County. Conversely I had heard of the likes of Ravanelli, Wayne Rooney, Jacob Butterfield, Ikechi Anya, Efe Ambrose and others…. If the players we sign come in and do a job for the team I don’t really care what their reputation is or if I’ve heard of them. Some of my favourite players down the years have been random signings out of nowhere.

Animal is a Ram Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Quote The Midlands club will cover all Yates wages during his time at Pride Park but there will be no obligation to make the move permanent at the end of the loan deal. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpwdlygl07jo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 I want to see him up top with Barkhuizen, absolutely nothing tactical.

A little harsh. I like to think I have a pretty good knowledge of football, however I have never heard of him either. Just because you have come across his name or seen him, doesn't necessarily mean others have. It is like me asking you what the cheapest apples are in your local supermarket. You might have walked passed them a dozen times but not ever paid any attention. May Contain Nuts and DE56Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he's choosing to criticise a potential signing based on whether he has heard of a player or not, it's reasonable to criticise his knowledge. To be fair as I added, it was the rest of his post that also highlighted the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first footballer who I watched live at Pride Park every week where I was in awe at how technically brilliant he was. I wanted to smash in 25-30 yard free kicks on a Sunday. 95% of supporters had never heard of him and he was one of my Derby heroes.

He did have 10 years in La Liga for Real Sociedad though, so you'd assume know him or not there is a deal of ability. I'd like some players like Raziak, Bisgarrd and Wanchope. I know enough about this fella to see he's an upgrade on Washington but he's still here. We must get a 15 goal striker with pace to add something to our frontline. That doesn't have to cost more than a loan fee. Premier league squads are busting at the seams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Another point of note: Yates won Blackpool’s POTY awards twice in three seasons. I’d take that as a good sign. BramcoteRam84 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like a good signing. Definitely a Warne player. Blackpool fans were disappointed to lose him last summer. Apparently holds the ball up well and has a bit of skill (we’ll knock that out of him) runs his socks off and a real team player. Blackpool fans main gripe was that he’s not clinical in his finishing and should score more goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admira Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Asked a Blackpool supporting mate about him (Swansea signed him from there) ”Hmmmm….he was well respected with us and is hardworking He tends to score goals in groups and then can go a while without. Definitely a form scorer. He did well in the championship for us but struggled at Swansea. I think the fact they don’t want to sell him intimated they realise there’s a better player in there than what he showed last season, or if he scores goals for you they can sell him for more!” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should employ a sibling though, then we can have the Warne Brothers talking about Tom and Jerry instead. Will Hughes Hair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
