Looks like Derby are going for it big time this season. Signed Bent, Pearce, Carson and now Andreas Weimann for £2m and have Paul Clement as manager. All good signings IMO.

They've got to be one of the favourites for promotion this year.

MM, you are not wrong. To the poster who think we are in the mix you are way off. You need at least one goalscorer to achieve promotion. We don't have the personnel yet. Neither Sharp nor Antenucci will score more than 12 each. You need a 25 man to do the biz.

Give antenucci a full season and he'll give you a 20 goal return. But he needs a mate up top with him. He cannot play as a loan striker.

It's to early to tell, as we stand we may finish in the top half, let's start making predictions at the end of July when we we can see how the recruitment has gone. At the moment, with only one likely starter signed, plus the experience gained of the young players, minus the year two blip many young players suffer from, I can't see us being consistent for long enough periods in the season to challenge.

Jeeez George, if I go out and buy a bag of chips, will you come an p**s on them for me. Get a grip son, anything can happen so why not be positive. I know its difficult, just try :)

I see your point George but two seasons back we had a couple of strikers who scored nearly FIFTY between them and we were still piss poor! Well, inconsistent anyway.
That said I would love a Deeney or a Jordan Rhodes.

Cork, this is exactly my point. Quality strikers can bag many against championship defenders even in a bad side. We had to sell mcbadgekisser but selling smith was very silly. Sharp looks like he on his way and we messed Antenucci about last season. Who do we have? Vid, these are the realities. It's not about being negative for sake of it. Our owner is worth a ton but instead of buying back ER "tomorrow" or spending it on proven players like Gradel and Lambert who would make us tick we are just taking baby steps. If I don't pressurize cellino in these posts who will? It's for good of our club because while agents exist in the game expect the "byram problem" with all our good youngsters in 2 years if we fail to spend. Believe me this is how the big clubs look at the leeds situation. They hoping we fail and the FL love to help. Everyone knows on here I only want best for my team. You have right to disagree with my opinion but until we acquire players in the weak positions of the right calibre I will continue to be a complaining voice of reason

George, we are ignorant of the realities, only what we read in the press. Buying a shed load of players does not guarantee success. It is team spirit, a good blend, patience, harmony from top to bottom of the club. It is not the last minute bogof of last summer. let's see where we are at the end of July. You may be pleasantly surprised!
