I don't think he rates US after we all laughed and took the mickey when he was hit full in the face by a ball at CCS last season :lol:

Even the ref gave us some 'stick' for being unsymapthetic as he won't of with a broken nose!! :lol: :lol:

It'll be Brayford, as he's refused to sign a new contract with Derby and they NEED to recoup some money rather than lose him for freee in the summer ;) :ayatollah:

He's under contract until June 2114! Check the Derby County Forum.




Check YOUR information. Brayford was asked to sign a new contract and refused. As time goes on his 'worth' will be less and less and Derby are looking to 'cash in' whilst his value is realistic. Cardiff have been told by his agent that he would be happy to talk. Doesn't mean it's a 'done' deal but the omens are good :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Derby have just said that an un named championship side has been given permission to talk to him and he's discussing personal terms

Re: ' CITY CLOSING IN ON DEFENDER '

If true, would be a great signing :ayatollah:

Apparently been allowed talks with us? (The twitter account was fake) but actual Derby fan accepted the fact he's leaving and Rossco said he was leaving? Can't wait if Brayford is the defender. Real potential

A 101 year contract just to stave off interest from Cardiff City?

Silly boy signing that. :roll:

People think im having a go at carl, im not. I just find it tea spittingly funny the amount of people that hang off his every word and follow him around the board like a transfer messiah.
I like reading the updates if im honest, but how many times have we heard "players lined up" "defender in talks" etc people go crazy and nothing comes of it.
Carl said nothing, then all of a sudden the rumours emerge on twitter and theres a thread on here and people are all over it.

I dont envy the position carls in he gets a lot off needles abuse, but i think he should just be honest and admit he only knows what everyone else knows..

Re: ' CITY CLOSING IN ON DEFENDER '

The best way to sort this out is next time Carl announces he is going to do an up-date, absolutely fearless agree to do one at the same time and see what transpires?

I know which one would have more news in NQAT! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

and thats the point fearless is trying to make. when you make a statement talking to a defender it covers a left back, right back and two centre halfs so theres a good chance we might sign one of those players and then that statement becomes correct.
if we dont sign a player then it can be quietly stated that talks broke down etc etc ita a win win situation when you make that type of statement.

I'm entitled to my own opinion am I not?

I've seen things posted on the other board..pop on here and half hour later Carl's got an update (rushed thread) and everyones all over it.
If I'm wrong mate, where are these players we supposedly had lined up ready to sign?

Why has it taken 2 days for talks with brayford and no signature still?

Carl HAD to make a post when the rumours got so hot and had to post the brayford thing after the update because at the time of the update he had no idea and has had to do a quick side post incase the rumour is true and he missed out on posting it. Thems facts pal.

Lots of behind scene posturing in transfers. If player doesn't put a request in selling club have to pay up his contract.
Selling club may be playing hard ball with player hoping to save some money.

Steve on Monday, I said Malky would try and bring a defender in this week, then on Wednesday afternoon I got told we are in for a full back from a Championship club.

In the past I have named players signing and got stick for doing so, I try and do things differently now.

Similar I knew in December about Kevin St Luce being in trouble and in the past I have reported such incidents on here, only to be called a liar, bullshitter etc.

Remember the drinking fiasco before Middlesbrough, what about Chopra and his gambling problem (checking his phone at half time of games he has played in), I got massive stick for reporting those.

I suppose it is a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.

Whether people like it or not mate, people (certainly on message boards) want to hear what is happening, I am trying to keep people informed.

Without naming names I got told by somebody (high up in club today) that we had two lined up in January, why they have not come to fruition yet I do not know.

As for transfers taking more than two days to sort out, I can think of several reasons for a deal to take longer.

I wasent having a dig at you Carl but just trying to put over what fearless was trying to express. At the end of the day Carl no one really knows who Malky is targeting as we saw in the summer transfer window. I stay out of all this crap now although I still chat to the same people but I prefer to wait and see.
To be honest if the players are not there I would rather sign no one although I expect Malky will be feeling the pressure from vinny to sign someone

Re: ' CITY CLOSING IN ON DEFENDER '

Fri Jan 11, 2013 10:31 pm

I just take what Carl says and just hope to see if things happen.

I won't dig at him if we do because he is only passing on strong information.

He could easily give up doing updates after the abuse he got but now he is trying to be a bit cautious about how he says things on transfers.

If Brayford is the player then he starts for Derby today.
