They're going to be a force again this year are Derby Got £7m for ince who has a questionable attitude and commands a big wage. Reinvest that on Lawrence and pay less in wages I guess. Great bit of business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rumours that Matty James will join... they won't stop doing good deals just yet. I'd tip them for a play-off spot with a manager that makes his teams very difficult to beat They will be there or thereabouts this time. I expect them to be right up there along with Middlesbrough; us, Villa and Fulham. With a couple of dark horses like Brentford giving it a good go too.

pazowl55 Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Everybody is buzzing about Villa and Boro finishing in the top two. I don't see any reason why the top two can't be us and Derby instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloxwich Owl Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 A host of Championship and League One clubs are thought to be tracking Rangers midfielder Josh Windass, according to Get West London. The former Accrington man has allegedly been left out of Pedro Caixinha’s plans for the Ibrox club and has been told he can leave. Queens Park Rangers are reportedly leading the race for his signature, alongside their West London rivals Brentford, while relegated Hull City are also thought to be keen on the 23-year-old, who is the son of Tigers legend Dean Windass.

Seems that way they identified areas that needed strengthening and recruited accordingly, I don't seem to recall them having 6 strikers either.

Jim Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 You can always strengthen but continuity and stability could easily help us push forward but our recruitment has been that sh!te, there's absolutely no chance of that, is there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the central defenders in, make a good start to the season & we should be up there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakespeare rates him highly and he's back and firing this pre-season. Next to no chance he'll be moving to any Championship side.

IstillhateSteveBould Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Huddersfield certainly took a gamble in some ways. Signing a number of players from another league can go either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
