Fair play to Frank Lampard, obviously using his contacts to pick up two future stars on loan.
Mason Mount and Harry Wilson gone on season long loans to Derby.
Really hope it works out well for the both of them and they don't FREEZE.

John Toshack did it the best when he was rebuked by Cardiff City and went to them Jacks instead...

He took half the Liverpool squad with him and the rest, as they say, was history! ;)

Great signings for Derby.

But they have to go up. Lampard is on good money. They can’t afford him.

Villa are even worse. They need promotion in the next three seasons and if they can’t afford it, they’re fucked.

May be forced to do “a Cardiff or Huddersfield”.

Even with those two loan signings, don't think Derby will go up automatically, think playoffs will be their limit.
Impressed with Forest signings, think they'll be top and Middlesbrough haven't lost anyone, but have made a couple of good signings, think they'll go up in second.

Rebuked by jimmy Andrews rather than by the Club itself. Andrews saw him as a threat to his own job.

Owners should have sacked Andrews and brought in Tosh,too weak and we suffered for years?
