Do you have to be 30+ to sign for Eustace?

I couldn't help be baffled that Weimann had a surgery before the end of the season, "to be fit and ready for next season". I scratched my head at the time wondering how we knew he wasn't using our medical department to get ready for somebody else, turns out my fears were correct.

Shame to lose Weimann and Batth, the latter especially...but it was always extremely likely that they'd jump at the chance to work with Eustace again.

Debatable how many minutes Weimann would get next season under Ismael, but losing Batth who seemed to really help Hyam is a blow.

I agree Batth made Hyam a better player - but there is also a chance it worked the other way around as well. Batth wasn't great at his previous club - so always a chance that whoever he is paired with at Derby won't work out.

(Much prefer him to stay though)

Weimann & Batth have agreed deals with Derby.

No surprise there is there but if Derby have offered Batth a 2 years contract then fine, I stand by not offering him that sort of deal. 1 year contract with the option of another 1 but not a straight 2 year contract with no get out clause 

not much thought into those signings but they are Eustace's type of players

And this would be my massive issue with Eustace, it’s short term thinking and we cannot survive on this model. I’m actually excited by the pace and power that appears to be coming into the side!

Eustace was championship experience and doesn't really look overseas for signings. That's what he wants.

Would of loved to of kept Batth but whos his replacement now?

Still trying to defend the indefensible shambles I thin̈k Rovers have become.

I don't give a monkeys whether our players are from UK, Europe, Africa or Asia or are young or old.

The only thing that matters is can they feckin play and get us back to the PL?!?!

All the bullsh1t about journeys, projects, style of play is feckin nonsense.

Only results and promotion matter.

Honestly dont think i can deal with being mocked by Dingles, knobbers AND Derby fans in the same year

Imagine getting hammered by our old players. Think I'd actually cry

If only it was that simple

Glen thinks we have a 10k self imposed pay cap.

Would explain the struggles getting the main men to renew.

sadly,venkys don`t want us promoted,how many times have they destroyed the promotion attempt???

[...]

If that's the case then what's the point anymore. Suffocating the players and fan base and anyone that's ever loved the club.

 

[Emerald Isle Rover]

We already have players on more than 10k per week so is this for new terms and new players only? If not then it’s wrong information

there is`nt any point,sooner or later all the cost cutting will relegate us,hence two decent managers have walked out and val will probably do the same

Does that mean we are looking to offload the likes of Cantwell then. Be hard to keep any of the top performers when they are unable to repay them with a better contract.

Clearly how they want to run it.

If 10k cap is true, it is a disaster and nl wonder Brittain won't resign

not going to be fun if we lose travis,dolan and brittain,with tronstadt possibly,they are the heartbeat of the side😥

Well of course he won’t re sign him Travis and tronstad on more than 10k as it stands so who in their right mind would accept lower

im sceptical that its true….but as ever with venkys nothing would surprise me

It's ok, when Weimann breaks down, Dolan frustrates and Batths legs go in September (as i keep seeing physio therapy expert Rovers fans expecting) then we can laugh at them.

All 600 of us at Pride Park !
