The new signings.

No apologies necessary, Backo; I appreciate you passing on the snippets you hear despite all the evidence to the contrary.. I just like to pull your chain, to use a reference I'm sure you're familiar with given your propensity to hang around the PP bogs

I know u were 666 I will try and find out what the actually "crack" is over the CB. But they are pointing at another loan I think so again I think they are waiting for squads to be finalised in Prem. So in effect on transfer fees Derby are £600,000 in the black.

they've paid spurs £300k for Smith

I thought around that figure Griff. You have seen him more than anybody on here. So if you say hes ok then im ok with it Id be more happier if the glowing tribute was from yer dad cos hes a hard man to please Ill never forget the shake of the head at Charlton with sarcastic laugh at Theo and Sammon.

I'm sure there will be plenty more of that to come this season. He does rate Russell tho'.

Russell is a class act mate. He will prove the Number 1 striker in the East Midlands

Shouldn't be hard Backo... If he scores 10 goals he will be head and shoulders above all strikers in the region.

I'll be happy if Russell and Sammon get 30 goals between them.

It's a step up from the Scottish leagues, Griff: a bit unfair to expect 29 from Russell.
