AmericanRam Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 What does eveeyone think of the American's that have played for Derby? Obviously we have Whitbread now and I think for the most part he has been pretty good overall. My avatar is John Harkes.How about him? Eddie Lewis? Conor Doyle? Ian Feuer? Feilhaber?

AndyinLiverpool Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 I'll never forgive John Harkes for missing that gaper at Wembley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanRam Posted October 24, 2014 Author Share Posted October 24, 2014 I never saw Harkes play for Derby of course,but through some stuff I have read about him he really seems to look back at his time here very fondly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilHunt180 Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Whitbread has proved a few wrong who questioned us signing him. Good, solid player who provides good cover Eddie Lewis - gave his all, but ultimately his signing summed up the summer of 2007. "Rams Sign International Winger" screamed the Derby Telegraph. Reality was it was a 33 year old from League One. Benny Feilhaber - now I actually rated him. Criminally underused IMO, seem to remember a very good performance away at Reading. Again, it just never happened for him - writing was on the wall when Billy engineered his sacking. Conor Doyle - poor kid probably wishes he'd stayed where he was and took the scholarship rather than chasing the dream. Never looked remotely good enough. Rabbit in the headlights. John Harkes - Wembley. May 1994. Leicester City. That sitter...... Stands the test of time more than the Zamora goal. Never forgave him for that. Question Americanram - am I right in thinking that Giles Barnes is still at Houston Dynamo? Have you seen much of him in the MLS and what are your thoughts? For me, that kid should have had it all. Shame he was made of glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame he was made of glass. Just seen Houston play twice mate(when they played RSL) and I remember vaguely tbh how he looked.But looking at his stats,he has 11 goals and 5 assists this season.Also found article talking about what a bright spot he is for Houston amid a bad record for them.

Boycie Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 Whitbread had a scouse accent, so obviously doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit I'm surprised he's still out there, really thought someone would have gambled on bringing him back by now. Was a joy to watch at times in our last promotion season, albeit incredibly cocky and arrogant. Colchester at home he absolutely destroyed them.

Good points mate.He from what I read really enjoys the MLS and I think Jamaica has or will soon call him into their national side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted October 24, 2014 Share Posted October 24, 2014 John Harkes scored a spectacular goal at the Baseball Ground one time. Sadly it was against us. Even more sadly, he never repeated anything similar when in a Rams' shirt... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon he inspired us through the playoffs too just by being on the pitch. Changed the momentum of the semi final when he came on, Saints were ripping us to shreds before he came on. Same in the final too, gave us a huge lift. I'd forgotten that goal at Sunderland, pure class. And the Cardiff volley too.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
