Stating the obvious, I know but the new keeper is a free transfer replacing the injured loanee keeper we brought in to replace the keeper who left. 1 out, I in and is paid less than the keeper who left
Ince is a loan swap with Moore. 1 out, 1 in.
Thomas is a former League 1 CB who struggled to get in the side propping up the league and a free transfer on a 2 month contract. We're not talking Virgil Van Dyk here.
Carroll was a 2 month contract on £1,000/wk.
Plus, as hound says we're under restrictions, not an embargo. Even then embargos tend to operate on the basis of squad size limits, 1 out, 1 in and an overall reduction in costs so its still all legit and within the rules anyway. I'm sure if we were in administration, we wouldn't be allowed to sign anyone.
Not sure any of that is worse than turning down a multi million pound offer for a player when you're in administration and owe HMRC £20m+ and you still haven't paid another club for a player you "bought" 2 years ago. But, you know, their 39 year old CB went to Stoke so it's not fair.
No one wants to buy Derby County because they have zero assets and all £30m gets you is a receipt. Their fan base is weird. I know they're fighting for the future of their club but so many seem to have their heads up their arses. The way both us and them are being treated is entirely proportionate to the indiscretions committed.
