Marc Leonard at Birmingham is being linked with moves including to Huddersfield.

Our Leonard?

Im sure that the idiots will replicate bringing lots of inflatable snakes to the Derby game. But when a player actively wants to go to either of 2 teams who arent blessed with big money and both finished below us, it tells you a lot. They seemingly seemed keen to make out as if Brittain was spitting his dummy out but he seems to have constantly trained and seemed very professional against Everton. Will be such a huge loss as I cant think of a better right back in the league. When we had him and Beck, our full backs were up there with anything in the division.

I think you need to read it more closely - he specifically mentions that it is only the fact that he was wearing a helmet that means he is still alive today. This myth that he wasn't wearing a helmet keeps on surfacing on here despite the fact that there are numerous interviews and even a whole f-ing book where he states clearly that he absolutely never refused to wear a helmet - in fact, he says his girlfriend had lost hers whilst they were out and he offered her his, but she refused as he was the one driving. "I said "do you want my helmet?" and took it off and handed it to Lucy. She said: "No, no. You are driving; you had better keep it on." Fortunately I did." - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49581670

Why do we need a CB who can play LB?

Sorry, I meant signing a CB who can play LB in the interim until Jones is back fit. We need a CB anyway.

Unfortunately no one will take them off our hands. Not even Derby.

Actually sounds about right for someone we'd actually pay money for...

We played two friendlies in Marbella during the world cup break in December 2022 against Ajax and Hearts.

Normally try to stay professional on the forum but Brittain to Derby is a fucking joke, set of cunts...

And they bought him for £3m last January and won't be short of cash themselves.

There's high fees, reasonable fees, low fees and Rovers fees---in that order!

Where are we up to with safe standing? Were the Everton fans stood in a section on Saturday, as Bradford fans have a "safe Standing' option for this.

Reading that suggests it's another digital only affair.

I did you said there was no defining way to prove who was the best etc and you were merely taking it on game to game basis and you said beck was miles clear Going by the eye test Which is your opinion I just disagree I think there has to be more defined metrics to warrant ‘best’ of anything

He's a really, really good Championship LB. He could probably make the step up into the bottom third of the PL. However, sadly he's a bit of a crock.

HEAR! HEAR!!...direct all your angst against the feck wits running our Club through the floor.

Who's the new Spanish coach in Spain vid?

I'd be confident he was going to keep us in the division and probably nibble around the Playoffs for a bit. The signings are uninspired though. I thought the football was good under Eustace - cut his cloth accordingly.

Shearer would be seeing his contract out and leaving for nothing after being lowballed 18 months previous. Then he'd be branded as shite anyway, no pace, too many elbows.

I was right then, you didn't read my post you were replying to.

Don't waste your time or energy moaning about Derby or Eustace. Spend it moaning about the people who have allowed this situation to develop. This is professional sport. Eustace and Derby are merely taking advantage of our strife.

Why? He's clearly not being a dick about the whole thing, but if Derby offer him twice what he's on now (or even a £5k a week improvement) of course he'll entertain them.

Why wouldn’t he though? batth excellent last year (age a factor could blow up this year who knows) weimann see above brittain comfortably top 5 right backs in the league If I was a Derby fan I’d be asking more of the scouting department and the future batth / weimann / beck all likely to move on next year and they already have an aging team striker signed from America already injured and likely to miss first 5/6 games of the season I just hope there is a bidding war and we milk every last penny out of whoever gets him as it’s clear someone is going to match venkys valuation
