With Walta’s initial part of his contract on loan, what happens if he’s a goal scoring machine, and the big money boys want to step in ?

That was a one in a million hit, the outward swerve and in off the post

Vipotnik said himself he had never taken a free kick before, he just backed the raw power that he had with no thought about direction except to aim for that gap at the edge of the wall

Have to say, he hits a straight shot fabulously hard, and I’m grateful for whatever he brings to us, but can he bend them as well?
Picky I know, but thats what coaches are there for, to enhance their skills.

Vipotnik said himself that he doesn't practice free kicks, it was just so close to the 18 yard box he said let he have a go and smashed it hard enough to break the sound barrier. There was no skill to enhance there just raw power

By the sounds of it the loan deal has an obligation to sell clause
And probably an obligation to buy from us unless there is something greatly unexpected that happens

This should be good... what was our final allocation?

1,500, 2,000 or 3,000. Now I’m thinking it was 2,000 in the end, but it’s hard to tell with them selling blocks at a time. So it will be at least 1,500. Not to sure why they can’t have a few more because I doubt they sold the full allocation you can get for Pride Park. Maybe it’s because they would have to pay for any unsold tickets?

Bloody hell, is that a current Derby player? He looks older than me and I'm 45!
