He's got the last word, as I either need to work on my stamina or I'm actually disagreeing with an algorithm.

1 - The market is over heated. 2 - I don't think and have never said TB hasn't any money. Look back to ALL of my posts that essentially begin:- i/we get it... They all follow along the same line of shitload of money needed to buy the most expensive player, which is a big risk. Quite how my...

Clearly not what I'm saying but you carry on with your bait and switch, if it makes you feel better. All of this and I bet the bottom line from the boardroom when the striker didn't materialize was:- 'oh f**k'.

In action speaks louder than words. Relying primarily on Hemed and Murray for half of a crucial season, while even up until the 11th hour the most rabid of club fanboys were insisting THE striker will be arriving.

I don't understand how failed deals have become currency. Not offering enough money for pilchard and Calleri doesn't mean the club has enough money to make these deals.

I can imagine there's a striker the club has wanted for x transfer windows. When the club first asked after him they were told about £5m, to which the club said 'no that's not a realistic valuation'. I bet they were right as well. Having chased that player through subsequent windows...

Hmmm this is where the spin begins to fall down. There's a few possible scenarios at play, but I get the impression none of them involve the club (TB) spending £10m on a player. - The players the club want are out of it's league (in every sense) - The clubs playing budget can't handle a £10m...

Or 42 points. Plus the 18 already gained, gives the squad a maximum of 60 points available in 2016.

Sales, innit. I guess we're getting our striker from DFS. :lol:.

Not to mention the fact nobody is demanding a 'record signing' (although by their very nature they will be). Nobody is talking about a squad players. No one wants the scatter gun Derby approach. 1 specific player, is required for 1 specific position. A position that has been needed to be filled...

We know of at least 3 and the stumbling block, one way or another, for each deal was money.

I think no shots on target might be more concerning.

Being silence over the petty goading is easy. I find it harder when faced with nonsense spin. This was followed by a now deleted long ramble of explanation. But we've been here before and I really can't be doing with it again. Roll on tomorrow, lots of goals, and no obvious gaps in the...

Mr Barber made it clear when he said the transfer market was 'over heated' this summer.

You can't be serious. I wouldn't be surprised if the list of candidates wasn't comfortably double figures. I bet there are also a few wowzer names on the list, even though I love a good 'who the f*** is that'. I also wouldn't be surprised if one of those players came here in early January...

There is the financial aspect too. The club probably wouldn't have held onto Stephen's had Burnley wanted him as much as they wanted the midfielders they bought for 8 & 10m (I think). Everybody has a price. I'm sure the club has been chasing numerous strikers, it's just a shame the market was...

Fair enough, maybe my opening gambit was a little harsh, and perhaps many of us are being extreme, as to my knowledge, nobody here is called Doris. This is a debate that should be had at the end of November. But expecting rational thinking on a t'internet message board is as likely as the...

I really don't like this post. It has the patronizing aura of 'run along little people and be grateful'. The negativity across the board, and obviously on this thread, stems from 1 simple fact:- The squad doesn't have enough firepower to challenge in this division. We love our Chairman. We...

I don't think it's the hardest job, but it is the most ... Feel free to in the blank

Do you believe with that strike force available to the Albion, this team would be scratching around for 1-0 wins while wildly hitting out with a banjo? There's plenty of reasons why Derby can't score, most of them begin and end with Pearson. A manager capable of almost getting a Premier League...
