curb Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 So are we now accusing clough of hating foreign players? Not hating so much, more like, not really liking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

notts_ram Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 I for one would be interested to know how many foreign players Derby have on their books proportional to the other Championship teams (Watford excluded) not to prove that Clough is a xenophobe but to gauge how limited his scouting horizons really are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramarena Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It's actualy quite interesting if you compare the current table to a table based upon number of foreign players. Blackburn 15 Wolves 14 Watford 14 Brighton 13 Boro 10 Brum 10 Bolton 9 Hull 8 Blackpool 8 Notts Forest 7 Sheff Wed 7 Cardiff 6 Palace 6 Leicester 6 Charlton 6 Ipswich 5 Peterboro 5 Leeds 4 Burnley 4 Millwall 4 Barnsley 4 Bristol City 3 (+ 1 ginger tosser) Derby 2 Huddersfield 1 (Theo) In comparison to the current league standings Cardiff 6 Hull 8 Watford 14 Palace 6 Notts Forest 7 Leicester 6 Brighton 13 Bolton 9 Boro 10 Leeds 4 Burnley 4 Brum 10 Derby 2 Millwall 4 Charlton 6 Huddersfield 1 (Theo) Blackpool 8 Blackburn 15 Ipswich 5 Barnsley 4 Sheff Wed 7 Peterboro 5 Wolves 14 Bristol City 3 (+ 1 ginger tosser) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Just had a flick through this thread. i bet killieboy93 wishes he'd never bothered. if he's get any sense he'll stay at home. i think he's really really looking forward to coming to derby. we have made it sound the best place on earth with the best football team and the best fans.

killieboy93 Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 sammon was useless with us until mixu paatelainen took charge mixu turned sammon around he had a good 6 month or so with killie then we sold him to Wigan he seems to be confidence based player he was with us anyway. The points about Bryson dont surprise me he was killies engine room i knew he would make the step up with ease. alot of killie fans feel we were hard done by with how much we got for Bryson. im of the opinion a player is only worth what a club a prepared to pay and it will be hard for English clubs to judge SPL players. looking forward seeing the 3 of them play 3 of the best players to ware the stripes in recent years they could have easily ended up at sevco (rangers) or ceptic like alot of our players have done in the past and seems to be on the cards with current players. rather see players go down south and develop their career. We are getting the train from Glasgow early tomorrow morning and staying at the pride park travel lodge going home saturday afternoon.

Didn't you have one of the Eremenko brothers (Alexei?) playing behind Ssammon that season? Maybe we could try something similar with Hughes and Sammon?

Guest Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 Bring ya boots, tell everyone you are a striker and one of you will probably end up with a 3 year contract, i reckon thats what Sammon did Only joking Gristone, before you spit that dummy out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curb Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 It's actualy quite interesting if you compare the current table to a table based upon number of foreign players. It disproves the theory that having a lot of foreign players will get you to the top, but it indicates that by not having foreign players you won't be near the top, if you get me drift.

cannable Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 alexei eremenko feeding the fish was a big part of it. Thought he would be. What was Sammon's goal to chance ratio like during that purple patch he had? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
