Completely irrelevant. The three of them never even scored a goal here between them. That is some unwanted record which surely will never ever be surpassed ( if that's the right word)

For us it’s “significant investment”

Thanks for proving my point. I was only trying to save you some time ranting about them for the 1000th time, but I suspect you actually enjoy it so fair enough 🙂

Rovers didn't get a tune out of Hirst - but Ipswich clearly did. O'Riordan is excelling on loan at Donny. Apparently Telalovic has moved on for a profit. Only Ennis has flopped.

Brittain was 1 million hardly decent money at this level Szmodic cost more than him.

Bullshit Broughton was far worse as a DOF than Teflon Tronstad is as a footballer tbf. Albeit Id imagine the latter will escape completely immune from any criticism should we go down this season. Someone mentioned the other night about whether Mowbray tried to falsely claim all the credit for Wharton's development on that interview with Big Sam. He'd be too late for that in any event - Broughton already did it.

Why do you have to? You can increase the budget if you want. I can guarantee Derby have significantly increased their wage bill this summer judging by their recruitment and desire to progress as a club. Wrexham another. Birmingham. Charlton. All budgets that will have shot up. We didn't even need to increase or break our wage bill. Could have simply maintained what we had but that would have required the owners to maintain their financial input. They clearly don't want to. Their choice, we have to live with the consequences of those choices. Constantly looking for cuts and reductions and hiding behind 'wage structure' is just a race to the bottom.

Gudjohnson in, Harry Leonard out is it a done deal?

Tbf that's probably cos the bulk, if not all, of our incoming transfer business is done. Which itself deserves some credit as I can't remember the last time that happened, even if the window hasn't gone how we'd have liked in various regards.

You brought it up chaddy

You're wasting your time getting Rev to admit Broughton had any successes. Especially by mentioning Tronstad, who he also refuses to admit is a good player. It's bizarre and nobody else agrees, but his opinion is both are shit with few redeeming qualities.

Starting here for Espanyol if anyone cares its on premier sports 2, 8 mins in. Gonna give it a watch.

Move on? You brought his name up FFS.

Eh? Im not the one calling Derby "Derby Rovers"!

To an extent I do agree, but, he can’t keep turning to ageing players, the likes of Batth and Weimann and expect the same output every season. Neither have had good reviews and they don’t rate Sanderson at all, he’s had horror reviews. Beck I really liked but he’s often injured, Liverpool know this, he is unlikely to make it there as a result. Their best signings IMO haven’t been the ones from us, Morris is a good un and BBD will do well I think, their main injured signing seems a bizarre odd risk.

Honestly preparing for a Hyam or Tronstadt to be sold

Time to move Rev. He's gone, we moved on, some of us have moved from the Eustace time here. I have expressed my opinions around his move to Derby and what I would have done if I had Rovers CEO. I have nothing more to add to that

Just to be clear, what's your raison D'aitre for hating Eustace? Is it because he said he was unaware of any interest from Derby before the Wolves Cup Tie or something? Have you never ever told a white lie to protect someone's feelings? Would you prefer he'd said 'Yeah, well, Im just in charge for today but I'll be off to Derby next week if I can't make any headway with the owners?"

Forgot it was the transfer deadline tomorrow. Never felt less enthusiasm

There’s more to it than a bit of routine maintenance I believe. I think there’s some legal/fire safety related work required with regards to the stands. I can’t quite remember the deadline we have to complete the work but it’s expensive, well over a million to complete it. I’ll ask my contact for more detail when I see him but it’s not optional work I know that.

Probably not, they've had 17 managers since

Szmodics was his one big success. Brittain/Hyam we paid decent money for and they've been good at times not so good at others. I appreciate most people like Tronstad. Let's see how he fares without Travis doing all the donkey work for him. We didn't do well when Travis was on loan at Ipswich. Too many disasters though- the two January transfer window debacles - Wahlstedt/Hirst/Telaloic/Ennis/O Riordan

It it was us (if we are honest) we’d love it, Eustace has exploited them and took a good player and signed players who have done well for him. If we raided Watford and took players who did well for Ismael would they call him a snake and bring inflatable snakes to ewood?

you mean like Eustace 😉🤔😂

Hit the jackpot with our fans it’s honestly embarrassing.
