Leicester Ram Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm hoping we'll sell him for more than 300k then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albert Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'm sure him, Wardy and Theo all came on frees. They most certainly didn't. None of them came on frees: [url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/13338390]Here's a article from the time. The speculation was that Fielding cost around £400k at the time.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Manchester City are making a late and strong bid to sign Derby County wonder boy Will Hughes – and throw him into the title race, [url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/the%20people]writes the Sunday People.. City chief Roberto Mancini wants to add to his squad and his No.2 David Platt has launched a raid on the Rams for their 17-year-old midfield sensation. Hughes is already [url=http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/fulham-want-to-sign-chelsea-and-tottenham-1505542]wanted by Arsenal, Tottenham and Fulham who are all sniffing around as Derby wait for a potential £10million bid. But megabucks City have come in and asked Derby to name their price for Hughes and are keen to land him now. City are watching the cash with Mancini under orders to balance the books, but they would pay around £7million with add-ons. That would be good news for Derby’s bank balance, but the bad news is City see Hughes as a capture to play now rather than return him to Pride Park. Derby’s perfect scenario was to get a deal whereby Hughes would be loaned back to them for the rest of the season. But City’s needs – and Mancini’s future – will be decided in the next four months and that is why his mission has gone into overdrive. - http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/manchester-city-prepare-7m-bid-1521331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I hate football-rumour-talk. "Excuse me, we have lots of money and would like to buy one of your players. Can I talk to the manager please?" is what the telephone conversation will go like. That's not a "raid". If Man City officials bought some riot gear and dress in all black and robbed Will Hughes at 2am, then that's a raid. I could launch in to a rant about lots of other words in that article but I'll restrain myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, please. 2M to the owners to balance those books. 5M to spend on the team. Top 6 challenge a massive possibility. Show us the money please Roberto.

Basically they are saying that Mancini's job is under threat and he is planning to save it by buying a 17 year old who has played a handful of Championship games. Just wish they would go on and explain who's place in the team is under threat...Toure? Garcia? Nasri? Barry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Exactly.. They also have David Silva sitting on the bench. Yet they seem to think a Derby County 17 year old midfielder who's played 29 games in the Championship is going to take a higher role at the club than possibly the best play maker in the league in Silva.. Come on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
REDCAR Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Is Hughes not our key to a potential top 6 finish? Doubt even with 2 or 3 new players would be an improvement... ? IMHO. Maybe they lead us Silva for the rest of the season?

Catch 23 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I don't want Hughes to go, I don't see why he would now. Does he want to play first team football now, or does he just want more money and to be stuck in the reserves for three years? Actually, that's a silly question, but I'd certainly do the former, and I think he's a bright enough lad to not just be in it for the money. That said, if he were to go, I'd want him to go to a team that has an ethic of good passing football and the same team spirit as Derby, and not one who has money to burn and wants to hog all of the good players. So Chelsea and Man City can n*b off for all I care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ConorDoyle'sLoveChild Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 I'm not sure but at 17 shouldn't Will Hughes be doing his A levels. If so then it doesn't look like he'll be moving this month Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
