I remember a time when you advocated not spending money on players. Transfer fees were a waste of money? It was no guarantee of success. In many ways you are right. For me this window it is clear we are looking to bring players in. Okay on a limited budget, but every budget has limits...

It is hard to compare the financial states between one football club and another at any given time. Paying off of previous contracts is one which is not always an appatemt on going expenditure. Luton seem to have got rid of some of their squad and brought a few in; mainly frees and loans both...

Re Kane and under 23's. Doesn't Robins intergrate under 23's and First team squad pre season training, especially in first week? I have seen loads of pictures of first teamers training alongside under 23"s. So not sure where the evidence was that he had been bombed out? Too many wannabe...

I understamd that worry or fear. But we will not actually know that until we actually sell one of our best players and see what happens? Also even if money is made available fans will expect that even more should be made available. Or assume any transfer fee will have been paid in one large...

Not so long ago we were so poor we could not give players away. But a cup win, two promotions and establishing ourselves in the Championship it means we have attracted attention. Obviously we now have players who teams would be willing to pay money for. It happens at every club that are doing...

May as well not bother then and just send him a get well soon card in the post 😂

Contracts are always fluid and leap frogging each other. It is a hard balance as you don't want to lose players but also dont want to be tied to a no hoper or a high wage. The football landscape can be pretty short term. 3 years is a long time in football but not necessarilly in business.

It doesm't matter. We are moving forward as a club and trying to progress talent. It is proven Premiership Academys rarely produce players for their first team but pay their way by selling on. We have benefitted from that, so it is ressonable a lot of our produce will go to lower leagues...

A good 45 minutes into the legs of most of the first team squad. It is like an extemtion of a trainintheg session adding a slight competitive edge. Hopefully no injuries from it. Other than that I wouldn't over analyse the team or individual performances.

Has been ill for some time very sad. RIP

Oh, when we sing,, it always feels so nice And when we win, it seems like paradise Dermi, Dermi, We're so in love with you

u 1. Robins said a couple of weeks ago they were looking to sign players to bolster the U23's 2. Robins said in interview last season the U23's have their own budget to sign players they feel can be developed. 3. The U23's and development squad is about developing young talent. Ideally...

Do you not think he has already been training with us? That people involved with the development side have already seen him play? It may even just facilitate people ahead of him to go out on loan to develope further?

Can't some of our fans get their heads round this: 1. We have to make signings to improve the first team squad. 2. We have to make signings to improve the under 23's and development squad. There is a budget for both. They are strategies that run in parallel to improve the club overall.

Yes but with potential to develop more quickly than others.

Probably just in time to avoid further sanctions. His statement seems sensibily, very much about stabilization and the long term rather than quick success. Derby fans need to be patient something football fans aren't blessed with.

Nothing wrong with signing young players who we believe to have potential we can develope. Especially when there is a budget specifically for that.

Every player starts with that statistic.

TV pundits who say a defender scoring a goal got lucky when they executed a skill perfectly. But no they are a defender so didnt mean it. Just trust your fucking eyes over positional bias.

Eccles without injury I believe can step up. The others I think are still trying to claim a spot on the bench. We need three, maybe four brought in who can compete for a first team shirt. Not writing the young lads off and one of them might prove me wrong? But to develop their potential...
