Denzel Zanzibar 6,931 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 Just a thought, have WE pulled the plug on Saliki as opposed to him choosing Alaves over us, because we know we'll run out of time to make the deal before the transfer window shuts and we'd rather focus on getting domestic signings in instead? Or am I just clutching at straws that yet another player chose elsewhere over us? Link to post Share on other sites

Well so far the dutch lad has chosen top flight french team over a second tier England team and if Saliki chooses Alaves he would rather play in La Liga over the championship so imo it is nothing to worry about. At least shows we are targeting good players and possibly players above our current level Link to post Share on other sites

I get the feeling he might be the player who Warnock was saying he'd love to have etc when he was notified of them being available. With the injury record of Watmore/Ameobi and to some extent Burke I suspect we might see a fair amount of Crooks and Spence in wide positions this season if Burke's the only wide signing we make. His last move was a swap deal so technically no money or anything owed to West Brom, which means easier to cut losses Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair that ties in with what Warnock said in the press conference but he says a lot of garbage, so hard to tell Link to post Share on other sites

Cosmonaut 160 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 🤣.... Christ .. within a few hours not checking, we're not getting this Siliki (sp?), now?? No longer surprising, entirely used to it. Just waiting for Sporar to mess up last minute on deadline day now. I'll just pretend it's a few year back and Burke is a decent looking signing 🤣 Perhaps we should just stop punching above our weight and go for more lads from non-league and forget about this window once and for all. It's done my head in. I wasn't optimistic about it anyway, but to expect a top six challenge with what we have right now is crackers really. I'll look forward to another season of finishing tenth, then I'm hoping this fella from Norwich is going to start getting us some gems in and the real work starts. I know who I'd love next in as manager but we can leave that discussion until end of the season. Haha 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted August 27, 2021 Share Posted August 27, 2021 With the window starting to close and Joe Bennett looking very much like the back up Left Back along with his injury issues and Ameobi already sending in his sick notes am I the only one thinking Coulson to Ipswich, Why? I never rated Bennett when he was here and nothing since has changed that opinion but now that he is getting on and has questionable fitness why on Earth would you sign him? Even more perplexing is that given a choice between Bennett and Coulson or even Coulson or Ameobi come to that, it makes more sense to me to pick Coulson surely. If we are talking a top class LB or LW then fine but I don't rate either of them and whilst Coulson may not be the finished article he does at least stay reasonably fit. This coming season is already leaving me massively underwhelmed not helped by the Derby "performance" and I use the word "performance" very liberally. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

He said that he has never known it so hard to get deals over the line. He knows we need left side cover and forward signings before Tuesday so let’s hope we can get them in. 😬 Warnock has signed 20 players in 14 months with 2 or 3 more to come in. So why does he think the squad isn't good enough to get promoted? 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites

(Loans)! If Uche eh eh and Crooks get injured, with Whatmore’s injury history, who will play up front? It is the 2 or 3 more coming in, that you mention, who are the key. 👍 Edited August 27, 2021 by sambaDTR 1 Link to post Share on other sites

If I was a chairman who had sanctioned 20 deals for a manager in just over a year if be furious if he thought he hadn't been given enough to achieve his goals 1 Link to post Share on other sites
