This thread will get fired up pretty soon after this window!! Sheff Wed, Rovers and???

Kapaudi wont get ESC?

SURELY selling Hyam is a step too far. Surely.

They wont sign another CM having got 3 in (Forshaw, Baradji, Tavares) As many have said, despite that we are chronically short there in both quality and experience. Tavares looks very poor from what we have seen, granted he missed most of pre season. Will define our season.

but, but the pathways!!!!!

Prediction: In: none ('we tried') Out: Batty, Pears, Leonard Overall: 5/10 window. We are not stronger than before it started and are desperately light on Championship experience. Some interesting signings but we are in for a tough, tough season

Had this exact thought all day. Could get ugly.

Let’s be honest, if that was us we would all be delighted to get BBD. You certainly can’t say Derby aren’t going for it.

Talks the talk, so far very much not delivering in results. I like him and have enjoyed his approach. Seems to be professional and ruthless, which is needed. Clearly commands respect. The Travis comments were too far though. He needs to start delivering very, very soon though. Nothing else matters. His record suggests that might be a pipe dream…….

Would anyone take Dennis on a free? Released by Forest. Obviously utter crap on his loan last year, but arguably a class above anything we have now and has some pedigree. Not sure I would but better than nothing and we probably couldn’t afford him. Intrigued and excited by the Gudjohnson signing. Gamble but hopefully it pays off. Pears - what the hell is going/has gone on there? Is he just gonna disappear for the season while we pay him. Not a sniff of a transfer, hardly surprising, but it’s a bizarre situation. My guess is he was one of the ‘core’ Eustace lads, most of who are now gone.

Crap afternoon. Some fight in the second half but was game over when they scored. Wasn’t disastrous. Well, Gueye was. Early, but the league table is bleak already. 1 in 4 is not good enough. Huge, huge work to do.

Oh dear. Been poor with little attacking threat again. Tavares and Kargbo struggling. Hull masked a few clear issues with the team and tactics, they’re awful. 1 in 4 is not good.

YES to Gudjohnsen!

Thats more like it - the cheap option!

First window in how long that we won't be loaning players? Truly a change in strategy this summer. Proof will be in the pudding, but it certainly isn't dull.....

A season in transition and a finish in mid table. 15 years into the ownership. Project number……? Please. I don’t believe that is acceptable, especially with the money made in the last 2 years on incomings. It’s called managed decline, and exactly why JDT and Eustace left.

Another happy day in this storied ownership. I’m moving past the phase of anger to just utter apathy - the lack of professionalism at the club is embarrassing. I’d be appalled to be associated with it. They treat us like fools and underlings. If only they knew the passion, knowledge and talent in this fan base. Ignorance and arrogance born out of silver spoons and misplaced authority. It really is, above all else, sad. “Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Apologies if mentioned already - is this being shown on TV or RoversTV?

Derby having a very, very good window. Just signed a CM who’s been on the books of Liverpool and RB Salzburg. Meanwhile….

ZERO chance we spend anything more than 1m on a player. Likely ever again. A marquee signing would also require marquee wages. That is also not happening.

3-1 WBA. Threadbare squad, lacking badly in quality, and no time for any of the new signings to 'bed in' over pre-season, except De Neve, who isn't very good.

All the best Callum, good player and I hope he does well for himself. Players voting with their feet and can you blame them? Absolutely obvious the players that are leaving/not signing contracts are not convinced of the future direction of the club. Expect Travis to go next. Replacing them with cheaper, inferior players will lead to one outcome. The squad is incredibly thin as it stands. Bleak.

Baradji and Miller. Still leaves us very short. Hedges at RW all season is purgatory. McLoughlin is not as good as Baath either so we need someone better. I have a feeling someone is going to bid for Travis before the window closes and he will be off like a shot. Hope there is something going on we have no idea about. The comments about having some money are somewhat encouraging, but we have been here before. QUALITY needed. Sorely lacking and the business other teams are doing is stronger. Hoping we are all surprised…….

McGloughlin and De Neve looked exceptionally poor. Concerning but in De Neve’s case, not at all surprising with his career to date. Toth looks far more confident. Trav is checked out with half his mates gone. Good Kargobo goal. Gueye will never be a good finisher. We are much, MUCH weaker as a team/squad compared to last year. It’s not even a debate. Huge window remaining - my hopes are minimal to non-existent.

Bleak.
