In the case of G2 for Derby, literally.

Horses for courses. For more technical teams, you might pick him and Kitching. For more physical teams, you might want Thomas in. It's about having options, and all three will have significant playing time this season.

Solid enough Championship defender, but not sure he suits how we look to play now, as he's got a limited passing range and makes our current defenders look nippy Will probably suit a team like Wrexham more, who presumably will look to sit in and clonk it long for Moore to hold up quite a lot...

One thing that's probably worth saying here is that it might be very difficult to get a number 10, as players are going to look at Rudoni and wonder how much playing time they'll realistically get. We don't want to sign cover, we want to sign competition, and so you'd need a player of similar...

Pots and kettles, chicken. Pots and kettles.

Since early 2023 he's played in one game. A 10 minute cameo where he managed to get sent off. I think it's fair to say that his career is behind him.

Of course, but sometimes things can't be sorted. Again, what do you want to do if the targeted players aren't available? It's not about time, it'll be about money and clubs not wanting to sell. It's not been a brilliant window, but it's not a disaster (just an anti-climax), and it's clearly...

And if for the reasons that I've stated (and more) you can't land the right targets? What then? Sign the wrong ones?

And of that lot, only really Sheaf is a serious first team player. All of the incomings should be.

Have they? They clearly had a lot of targets, but if clubs don't want to sell / want too much money / player wants to high wages / player gets offered more elsewhere / gets an offer at a higher level, what are you supposed to do? Sign the wrong players? Massively overpay? It's disappointing...

This is what I don't understand. He's a good signing, I don't doubt, but why string it out? Now it feels an anti-climax. I mean, we've gained a stadium, so it seems a bit of a petty quibble, but feels it could have been done better.

Fair play, he was a quality player for us, it had just ran its course. Very best of luck to him.

Christ, that's awful. Looks like it's a costume for a film set in a 1950s American High School.

I guess they won't have heard many sheep references before, so that makes it funnier.

Someone's getting an RSI if we do.

No. He's let himself go.

Possibly pedantry, but that's not true. He had his best season before last, and it was only last season that he regressed.

I know. Which is why I think this is sensible business, though the timing could have been better.

Needs a career reboot, really. With hindsight, it would have been better for all concerned if he'd have been sold last summer when his stock was so high. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. Will be a good player for them if he can stay fit.

So a brainy Neanderthal, then?
