Not sure but they've lost a few with more likely to go too. I still think they have a better squad but I recall him saying after their play off defeat that they would have to cut their cloth next season and that certainly hasn't happened.

Yeah he says in The Star that we were 3rd in line for him. Shame we've spent so much time waiting on him really when it seems he and his agent were just waiting for other clubs to get involved.

He's still going to Derby

Sure I read an article too where Morris said there would have to be a different financial approach this season.
 
Confirmed today he’s signed for Derby for £5 Million. Interesting to see what his wages are.

SO,Waghorn, Marriott, Martin, Jerome, Nugent, Bennett, Blackman

Fuck me, I thought Warnock was bad!

Oh and Nahki Wells!

Would take Blackman or Jerome. Blackman's not played much in Derby's pre-season due to injury. I can see Jerome being a target but right now I have no expectation of anyone coming in, loan or permanent, based on Wilder's statement, but maybe I'm just being negative and we'll all be pleasantly surprised tomorrow!
 
Can we set fire to this thread.
Along with all other false hope piles of tinder we all gather round for little warmths of maybes and as ifs we may dream about that one day we will pull off a signing worthy of note...

Saw him play on Sat vs Millwall, don’t ask long story am in Crete & it was on in a bar - anyway as for MW, he was awful all he did was take corners & free kicks, never got a chance on goal and was subsequently subbed after 60 mins.

Think we dodged a bullet there.

Last night Waghorn was dropped for Derby against his former club, not even on the subs bench and Derby win 2-0.
 
I don't think Derby's the right team for Waghorn. Think Frank is just signing players cus they're available and he's got money to spend

Wilder signs his players who will fit into his system and philosophy but I don't think Frank has a clue who he wants frankly, hence why he's got so many attackers yet playing 1 player up front on his own

True. Fat Frank is another sleb who's been parachuted into a top job (like Shearer, Zola etc.) with absolutely no managerial experience.
 
11 million in just 2 strikers they've signed this summer sat on the bench. For footballing reasons Derby never seemed a wise choice for Waghorn, but at least his agents will be happy.
 
Got told the other day by someone with decent links the deal was agreed with Ipswich and Waghorn but a last minute attempt by Derby offering almost double our wage offer, can't blame the lad for taking it and to be honest our offer would have made him a top earner here and was 3 times what he was on at Ipswich. the Boro link wasn't mentioned but im sure they were thinking the same.

Derby didn't even bother offering a few quid more it was almost double. seems odd but when I think about it that could be them compensating for the lack of opportunity. to some the chance to play regular and under Wilder could be worth taking a small hit in pay but you can't ignore the chance to increase your wages by that much

In the latest pre match interview you could hear the disappointment in Wilders voice when whoever it was from RS asked him specifically about Johnson. can see why he finds it annoying people publicly name his targets he's said it himself, we do the homework find players who would improve us and not break the budget and then other clubs get wind and think he must be decent if United want him and then offer more than we can/willing to pay.

We literally are the chief scouts for our rivals

With ITK'ers like Sunjihi saying the deal was close that's probably not far off
