They are strong contenders for automatic.
If they can catch Newcastle
They are strong contenders for automatic.
No choice, unfortunately.... It's a load of money but Martin suits the McClaren style and it works be great to have him back
So that would be Rhodes, Bent, Weimann, Wilson, Vydra and Blackman with Camara and Russell for backup as strikers?
How is it no choice? If it's a load of money, you can say no. It's not like you're short of money.No choice, unfortunately.... It's a load of money but Martin suits the McClaren style and it works be great to have him back
That might be pushing it.They are strong contenders for automatic.

Don't want to appear to be counting chickens and all that, but the bookies don't appear to agree with you.Not at all.
What Pearson did in the time he had at Derby is nothing short of remarkable!

Lansbury's contract expires at the end of the season and he's not yet been offered a new one by them (they've put all discussions on hold until the 'takeover' goes through), so 5-6m might be too good an offer for them to turn down.
Sun reporter thinks Derby are close to signing Jordan Rhodes and Henri Lansbury.

Would be two good signings for them.
You lost me at "Sun reporter thinks..."
Should this thread not be closed on principle? It's like me starting a thread with "man off street thinks Brighton are signing Messi and Ronaldo for a piss and a pie"
Don't want to appear to be counting chickens and all that, but the bookies don't appear to agree with you.
The shortest price I can find on Derby for automatic promotion is 11/1, while I can't find better than 1/5 on Brighton and 1/12 on Newcastle.
While bookies can be wrong I do think that sort of makes a bit of a dent in your "strong" contenders statement.
We are halfway through the season. They have massive spending power, are on a strong run. The top two slots are no way filled, regardless of gaps. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. As long as we keep our good run going, we will be fine. But there are 5 or 6 teams below is in the table that have sights on automatic and will no doubt be challenging all the way.
Teams that can easily out muscle us in the transfer window.
Since McClaren took over (again) and Derby have been on scorching form we've still earned more points than them, as have Newcastle.
