This got a mention on the Totally Show! Which was lovely - they also mentioned Ben Brereton Diaz's goal, and how he is the record holder for most games in the Prem without winning - perfect Derby player. #dcfc #dcfcfans

The most exciting full back in Europe - those crosses are enough to hit the wow claxon. He was exciting enough for Kane Wilson to immediately give up his Derby career so I am VERY excited.

Wow level - woweeee

He follows Eustace wherever he goes, which is a really good sign. But after the first few games I was a little worried. But much better in the last two - the most proactive of our CBs.

Wow level - simmering.

David Ozoh

I was VERY excited when this happened, he is an impressive young player and I just love the way he dribbles. Buuut - he has proven recently his decision making needs some work.

Wow level - medium

Owen Beck

One of the "he seemed like a good lad last season" brigade by The Eust, and he has proved to be very Derby by already getting an injury.

Wow level - one eyebrow slightly raised

OH BABY! A US international? Big lad? Foot like a traction engine? Yes bloody well please! Can't wait to see him on the pitch.

Wow level - jaw dropping

Andi Weimann

Good to have the lad back, will have a role to play this year, but potentially the other younger signings will mean it is from the bench. But a bloody good option!

Wow level - low

Richard O'Donnell

How excited can you get for a third choice goalkeeper - I hope he is nice to have around.

Wow level - I have no wow.

Danny Batth

One of the solid signings - CBs are never going to get you excited but this is just a sensible bit of business.

Wow level - low, but that doesn't mean he isn't a good signing.

Bobby Clark

Our little terrier, the energy he showed against Burnley and Ipswich is just what we will need to push defences back and light up Pride Park.

Wow level - yeh pretty high

Ben Brereton Diaz

I just didn't think this was the type of deal Derby could do - he has the biggest profile of any of the signings this summer. If he can be the player he was at Blackburn we will be cooking.

Wow Level - I literally said wow when I saw we had signed him

Lewis Travis.

We chased him for a while because he is going to be Eustace on the pitch, apart from unlike his boss, he can pass as well. Early signs but I think we are going to love his attitude, he dies for the shirt.

Rhian Brewster.

The wow could get even bigger if he stays fit all season, but he is off to a really promising start. I said to some mates it feels like only yesterday he was the next big thing at Liverpool.

WOW Level - high

First up the biggest WOW of them all.

Carlton Morris is going to score 46 goals this season at the rate he is going. A very savvy bit of business from Derby to find the gem in the Luton relegation rough.

WOW Level - 1000
