I imagine he said something like this "....my agent had offers from Charlton and Peterborough as well but as soon as I came to have a look around the facilities at Derby, I couldn't be bothered to actually visit Charlton or Peterborough"
"Having played for a 2 bob club in a 2 bob league, I was completely overawed at the set up. The facilities are Premier League and I liked what the manager had to say .....which was whatever wages Charlton or Peterborough offered, Derby would double it."

Shame but shows the situation we are now in I pared to last season. No matter how well we did, we are now in a tough tough league with large clubs like ourselves. Fact is, when teams go up to the prem, like Swansea for example, they find it hard to compete to get players, even if they smashed the champ. The same is probably happening to us.
Didn't someone say that he wanted to stay in the midlands? Fair play to him if that was his decision. Would rather that than an unhappy player requesting a move in jan. No big deal. next.
So the guy chooses someone else, its his perogative, get over it.
Not as if he'd rung SCP and told him to eff off. He just made what he thought was the best choice for him. Whatever his reasons they were his reasons so good luck to him.
As most clubs on the Championship have at one time or another been a PL club, then surely most if not all will have decent/PL class training facilities? Funny old reason, but who cares now. We'll find the quality we need on SCP's and the club's terms.

Nothing to do with the money they were offering then?

So have we missed out on a good'un or not?

We have enough squad players we need to get 3-5 winners with a little experience
