OoooMarkWright got a reaction from derbydaz22 in Louie Sibley
Based on his performances last season. Yeah. Minimum. Hat trick, 25 yard screamers. What a start to his career. Sibley will have been well known by all the top clubs as he’s destroyed all of there academy sides at youth level.
Now, no-one really knows what is a suitable fee as the market is dead. With his lacklustre year so far, it’d be the worst possible time to sell him - typical Derby. We must keep him, he’s the best since Hughes, and due to his attacking output, could be much more valuable.

OoooMarkWright got a reaction from Rammy03 in Louie Sibley
I’d be fuming if we sell Sibley.
He is the star of the academy. He was the top performer in the U18s top team. He was incredible last year, if we sold him last summer he’d have been worth 15 million plus. Was a revelation last year. A special talent. For whatever reason, injury being a key issue, it hasn’t worked for him so far this year. But Sibley is someone we should be building teams around, not selling.
If he goes, having an academy is absolutely pointless. We’d get bugger all compared to the summer if he was to go now. He’s not had a chance to fully show his potential, but he has got so much talent, with that nasty streak as well. Rooney I’m sure can relate to that. Fingers crossed it’s rubbish, I hope so, but as others have said, the vultures are circling. Sad times.

Good luck to him. He was a brilliant player for our club. Always amazed me how many couldn't see it.

OoooMarkWright got a reaction from Uptherams in Kaide Gordon - signed for Liverpool
No idea how these things work if he’s not a professional. If he is ‘the best 16 year old in the country’ Birmingham sold Bellingham for 25million when just a bit older. Granted he’d had many games in the first team, but just shows again how we really don’t make the most of our acdemy products.
Considering we supposedly have a great academy- we never get game changing fees that others do.

OoooMarkWright reacted to HuddersRam in Pride: The Inside Story of Derby County
Just in case anyone wants to take their minds off current Derby, I've put together a few articles with players of the pretty recent past that might take you to a slightly happier time. Pretty much everything in these are quotes that didn't make the final edition of the book, but thought there were a few little glimmers of insight worth scrambling together! Article with Craig Bryson coming tomorrow as well.

OoooMarkWright got a reaction from Bob The Badger in Rate the last film you saw partie deux
I watched this after your recommendation. Absolutely loved it. Better than Lock Stock for me. Very slick, stylish film, Guy Ritchie’s best. Probably the best film I’ve seen this year!

OoooMarkWright reacted to EtoileSportiveDeDerby in Watchable telly
"The last dance" on Netflix, story of Michael Jordan and Chicago Bulls. Obviously better if you are into basket ball but if you just like sports documentaries this is as good as it gets. Great insight into supremely talented athletes and their drive to reach and stay at the top. Can't wait for final 2 episodes next week.

OoooMarkWright got a reaction from Kinder in Watchable telly
The last ever episode of Homeland screened tonight. Outstanding. Although it’s been going for years, and maybe lost its way in the middle series, overall it’s been superb TV. Brilliant acting between Saul and Carrie, the plot reflects reality brilliantly at times. Great stuff.

You won’t be disappointed. Some series end poorly, not this one. Perfect ending and cleverly done, loved it!

Agreed. One of the best films of all time. The country club scene and the ‘lemons’ is quite possibly the funniest scene in film history. Di Caprio at his finest!

I'm definitely losing it. I keep wanting to duplicate threads and then stick them in the wrong sections of the forum ?

I agree. I thought El Camino was poor. Breaking Bad is the best series of all time, but this film seemed a little pointless, dull with an average ending. I think we could have imagined what happened to Jesse without the film.
As for the Joker - saw it today. What a film! Very dark, very violent at times, thought it should be an 18. Great music to go with the scenes, it will win numerous awards and rightly so!
