lansbury signs for another 3 years

Great news! Very strong squad. Henri is like a new signing. Hopefully he gets fit now and stays fit and injury free.

The proverbial final peice of our jigsaw (along with the imminent CEO appt) onwards and upwards!

Think he played as did Vaughan, Pato,and Wilson behind closed doors this week. good news all round, + Tesche training. a new CEO in place. can things get any better

Cant see being the final piece, more players to come. don't rule out Bamford

If Blackstock is expected to recover then we won't need Bamford. Blackstock is proven at this level (don't forget he was given a four year contract and was on form not so long ago).
Is it just me or do some reds have a short memory. Blackstock is a great third/fourth choice striker at this level. what is the point developing players for other teams when we can increase the value of our own. We have Tyler Walker too. OIf we bring in Bamford and Blackstock is fit how will youth ever get the experience?

Hope he has learnt the off side rule

Blackstock hasn't played for the best part of 4 years, we all respect dex but well leave it to Pearce to judge whether or he's good enough or not. Don't forget he didn't look interested after he got his big deal so before criticising people look at the facts. And take everything into consideration.

Securing Lansbury is our best bit of business so far in my opinion. Closely, and I do mean closely, followed by Burke, Antonio and Assombalonga in equal joint second place.
With everyone fit, I think SP will have a headache he'll like having in trying to choose a starting XI. The way I see it, it's a very strong and competitive squad.

Dex not played for the best part of 4 years!? He's played nearly 100 games in the last 4 years lol His last appearance was in November 2013, only 9-months ago- 4-years!? : /
I think Dex should be given the chance to regain fitness and become part of the squad again. He's more than good enough to be 4th choice. Perhaps with a new manager, new playing style and new opportunity we can see him contribute again. If not, get him fit and move him on.
I tend to agree with a lot of what Red Cyclist has said. Good post.
"Henri Lansbury is a Red, he hates Derby"

Great news but beware!
His agent stated that there was no way he was signing another contract so expect a buy out clause in the contract. As soon as he starts performing again his buyout value will start getting hawked around in January!
Hopefully we will be 10 points clear in Jan and he will have Premiership football nailed on next year.
COYR's

Every time I hear we have offered a big contract I worry.
Blackstock (4 years on good money): Injured.
Abdoun (allegedly £25K/week): Personality defect (allegedly lol)
Hobbs: Injured immediately and hardly played last season
Reid (contract extension): Injured (almost immediately)
Wilson (champions league wages?): Hardly played for us.
Anyone notice a pattern?

It must be the pen they're signing the contracts with lol
13.) 22 Aug 2014
Exactly Gomez, If Fawaz is fed up with spending money on players who rarely play surely he can afford a new pen. Poison ink or what?
I'm not sure whether Fawaz or Lansbury should be worried about the consequences of signing. Hopefully the curse is lifted but you can't help biting your nails when you look at our recent history.

Raddy new contract -goes missing?
15.) 22 Aug 2014
Why all the skepticism. Lansbury and Hobbs are still 2 of our best players even with all the signings. One has signed a contract today to stay at our club the other isn't leaving according to our boss. So this is a day to be upbeat.
Let our poor relations down Brian Clough way have all the negativity why we have a beer to celebrate our superiority!

What a great day, well done Fawaz and SP, now take 3 points tomorrow, please!
