Are they? Does this include the same people that tried to convince themselves that Bakayoko was going to be a good signing despite numerous Walsall fans physically laughing about the fact that we paid a fee for him. Or perhaps the same delusional group that thought Biamou was our best striker...

I have to say some of the virtue signalling that happens on this forum is quite boring and entirely disingenuous. The notion that we have to be delighted about every signing that Robins and the backroom staff brings in is borderline ludicrous. There isn't anything wrong with being fairly...

Certainly gives insight into why we had such a lengthy injury list last season... 😂

Pretty decent business by the club to get a minor fee for him even if it's likely to be peanuts as he's shown nothing here to suggest he'll ever make it in the professional game.

True. I guess we'll have to see what happens. In all fairness to Robins I suppose in the current climate and with the unpredictability of the window, it's very difficult to put figures on it. We'll bring in what we bring in - best case scenario probably 8, but somewhere in the region of 5 being...

He's obviously renowned for making sure he doesn't give much away. So, I'm not overly concerned just yet. But, having said that if we did only sign the number of players stated, I would be frustrated if weren't able to fill all the positions required. But that's hardly Robins fault, there's...

As I said, 6 would be a bare minimum. I personally wouldn't be particularly happy with 5/6 but we can only do what's within our means.

Well Robins said he would've liked 8-9 so we obviously do? I'd argue at a minimum we'd need 6 incomings.

Self-proclaimed ITK posters revealed to not be ITK?! Surely not.

He doesn't really say anything that wasn't expected. The only slight concern is that we may only be able to bring 5 in, but he may just be trying to temper expectations.

This is my view. Really unsure why people are getting so worked up over wages. If his contact demands fit within the budget then great. If they don't, he more than likely won't sign.

I get the concern about wages but surely we'd only sign if the deal was right for us. We're hardly in a position to roll over and match is wage at Derby.

Your expectations are all over the place. In the Marosi thread you were moaning that the rumoured incoming GK from Wolves didn't have enough experience and now you're claiming signing Wagorn, who has extensive Championship experience, looks desperate.

I don't see us attracting any better if I'm honest. Would be a solid signing.

Covering all bases. Genius.

When called out on the Paterson Tweet he insinuated an ITK contact had told him that Paterson was signing but it turned out it wasn't true and that he had no knowledge of Steele Instagram comments. He's utterly shameless.

He's been a busy boy today. Already said we're in talks to sign Moore earlier today (which he's clearly pinched from here) and that we sold Marosi for £300k.

To be fair I think that was more down to the fact that the L1 table wasn't finalised until nearly half way through June so there was a delay.

I've already pointed out my scepticism regarding his comments in previous posts. Personally, I believe he was being more idealistic rather than literal when saying he wanted us to be less reliant on the loan market. No doubt it's a target but it's a difficult one at that - especially in the...

Also I can imagine a good chunk of incomings will be loans which is probably contributing to the delay. It often takes PL clubs an age to approve loans as they want to ensure that they are in a position to let them go out. Sometimes this means waiting until clubs bring in their own targets.
