Hope he's fully motivated and ready for the challenge. If he's in the mood he'll be very decent for us.

Hopefully Jaap will now play Aluko in a sensible position and he and Martin can link up again.

Good signing for us. Two decent signings in the past couple of days,an away win and we have gotten rid of Beerens. All good.

I have my reservations about this. Hope i’m proved wrong but why is nobody asking why he is out of favour at Derby?

He doesn’t suit their play style, it’s literally the only reason derby fans are ok with him going. Was brilliant at Fulham before it all kicked off

...The 29-year-old, who has scored 130 goals in more than 400 league goals, links up with Royals for the remainder of the 2017/18 campaign...

Impressive. He scores goals in many goals.

And he suits ours? I don’t think he does. I’ve seen him play maybe 30 times.

He was fantastic under McClaren, then Pearson came in and bought Vydra, so Martin went on loan to Fulham. When McClaren came back to Derby after Pearson's shambolic tenure, Martin wanted to link up with him again so kicked up a stink trying to persuade Fulham to terminate the loan.
Meanwhile Derby signed Nugent, then signed Winnall and Tom Lawrence in the summer. So that was him 4th choice even before Cameron Jerome arrived.

He's here because we're not in any way a promotion rival.

Well he loves a backheel, so he'll fit in with John Swift at least!

Good, gives us an extra option. Loans are good so if the worst happens we're not lumbered with more well payed players in League One.

Still want a fricking full back more though.

I’d like to believe so yes, sure he isn’t quick but he’s still a massive upgrade on Yann

I’m well aware of his history. Like I say, would love to be proved wrong. Time will tell.
