I don't suppose there is a rumour about us signing Harry Kane.

That really would be Christmas

Is Buchanan situation down to him not being part of first team plans or is it more your financial situation forcing your hand?

I think it is that Chris Hughton recognizes he is good, and the position we are in, and thinks they are on a good thing

Did this transfer rumour originate from Alan Nixon?

Probably did, but they now say Derby have rejected the first bid, so whether it is true? You pays your money, you makes your choice.

One of the Forest journalists is saying Forest interested but Derby reluctant to sell, lots of work to do if it’s going to happen!

Sounds like hot air at this stage

It’s no secret the club needs money and there aren’t slot of layers that could be sold for £££’s so Byrne going to C@ltic could happen. If you ex him would you stay at Derby or go and play European football and a chance of winning something domestically? Buchanan is another 1 that could be sold for £££ and F@rest are in for him and I don’t think the club is in a position to not sell him

Selling a player or two might raise cash but also frees up a couple of squad places while we are still under embargo. I am still hoping that the embargo might be lifted, if not we are robbing Peter to play Paul by selling players like Buchanan and Byrne to get in, say, Sam Baldock and Phil Jagielka.

How much is Buchanan worth, and how much do you think Mad Mel would take?
I’ve seen a figure of £800,000 mentioned.

I cant see any outgoings unless for stupid money - why would we ??? Mel needs to do what needs to be done to get the embargo lifted and stop faffing around. To carry on like this is forcing Rooney to manage with one arm tied behind his back....COME ON MEL - DO IT !!

Can’t see any outgoings? Really? The club needs the money and space in the squad. If either club offered £500k for either player they’d be gone. Don’t be under any illusion the club is in a massive mess and on the brink. We need a take over but who in their right mind would take a club on leith massive debts and no assets to borrow against

You're as far away from a takeover as you ever were. Worrying for the fans but that's football these days.

The vultures are circling waiting for you to go into administration I think.

Comforting words, thanks for coming Redfor60yrs

The club is well and truly fluxed, all thanks to Mel

Welcome back Griff (at least as far as I am concerned) I and sorry it is not in happier circumstances. It will hurt to see Buchanan in a dogs shirt.

Team news V Salford
Derby County: Marshall (GK); Byrne, Stearman, Jagielka, Buchanan; Bird, Carroll; Aluko, Morrison, Lawrence (C); Kazim-Richards.

Substitutes: Allsop (GK), Wisdom, Forsyth, McDonald, Shinnie, Hutchinson, Baldock, Sibley, Ebosele.

2-0 down with 30 mins to play was not how I expected this game to go. God help us this season.

Derby make 7 changes for the second half ...

Craig Forsyth (for Buchanan, 46)

Ryan Allsop (for Marshall, 46)

Sam Baldock (Kazim-Richards, 46)

Andre Wisdom (for Jagielka, 46)

Issac Hutchinson (for Lawrence, 46)

Graeme Shinnie (for Carroll, 46)

Kornell McDonald (for Byrne, 46)

Watching the Salford live stream on Youtube and it's pretty dire

I decided not to stream it on Ramsplayer....dodged a bullet there .....

Caught a little bit on YouTube after Uncle Tom indicated the live stream. Didn't match the scrap and pressing attitude of Salford's, Sibley and Ebelese only two that showed any threat, in my opinion.

Only caught the 2nd half.
I'm assuming that was our worst half of the two ?

....this doesn't auger well for the new season.....

Waddo all getting ready for a new season of thrills and spills?
