Chairman Steve Parish added: “Luke is an exceptionally talented young footballer and one we hope will bring a range of attributes to the club in the years to come.
“But first, he has an important role to fulfil playing at Derby, and we appreciate his significance to them in their current circumstances. It is less than 12 years ago that our club was in a similar situation - as a result we were determined to ensure both clubs benefit through this deal. Therefore Luke will return on loan for the remainder of the season and help Derby with their important battles on and off the pitch.
“I look forward to seeing Luke compete in Palace colours soon, and until then enjoy the performances he continues to give for Derby.”
Fair play Palace.

So...a player who was out of contract at the end of the season....who we can't offer a contract to...who we wouldn't get compo for...
Well we just got enough money to keep our club in existence for another month....and he will play for the rest of his original contract and may play beyond his current contract. ie we are being paid £1m to keep a player for an extra year
 
It's a no brainer and it would have been highly irresponsible to turn this down.

Another one from Ricks rolling rule book ?.
A shame they can’t update their insolvency rules to comply to English law.

we are so lucky to have them. 

I always enjoy listening to Liam Rosenior. 
Sounds like him and Rooney want to be here for the long term, we just need to get some new owners in to give them the stability and backing they deserve.

Link here and also available on the BBC Sounds app. Liam’s interview starts at the 1 hour 40 mins mark.
Said Shinnie was in tears when told he was being sold a couple weeks ago.

Just caught the tail end of a very impressive interview with Liam on BBC 5 live monday night thing. Probably started at 8.40pm if anyone whizzy can sort a link. Really good insight into his and Wayne's work at the moment. Came across brilliantly

Great news. I genuinely think that if Bielik plays most of the rest of the games (and we don’t lose anyone else important tonight), then we stay up. He’s that much of a difference maker.

It’s like we’ve made the best signing of this window 
 
well championship anyway 

We can't compete with the Premier League Clubs, Plange I beleive could have left for a lot less at the end of the season, We've got him back if the reports are to be believed, Remember Marshall and Byrne from Wigan who we stole, Life aint fare when you're skint

A winner against Middle Borough would go down a treat.

Good news! 

Send him a few videos of Chris Martin. 

EFL doing what they do best. 

If they contact might think their legal advice would say it could give credence to the claim. Why make contact with people we owe nothing too

Durham’s next tweet.
Derby, pleading poverty and a threadbare squad, but can still afford a loan deal for a Premiership striker arriving imminently from Crystal Palace.

What a ? end. 

Disappointing to lose him if he goes, but a million quid and a loan back is ok. 
 
it also puts the academy process in a good light in some ways with parents seeing a clear pathway for players who have been ejected by other clubs coming to Derby, improving and then getting moves to the premier league. 

That’s what I think it must be. Gets us enough time to get through arbitration/legal proceedings

In answer to his question: yes, I’m OK with that. Thanks for asking. ??

Thanks for the update. Hopefully he is ok. 

Top comments today. He even stuck in a bit about how big the club was and it could be a massive club. 
I think he’s got a soft spot for us.

Just got home, but just wanted to say thanks to all the supporters of our great club that have made memories for me and my son for the rest of our lives,  I particularly remember the old lady in the window on the march in the care home, waving at us all, and then us lot singing, we love you granny we do, amazing, that probably made her day, 
and as to was it worth the long drive, you dont have to ask
Thanks again
