drgoodspeak Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 http://www.sheffieldtelegraph.co.uk/sport/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-clough-may-raid-rams-1-6317669 Sheffield United manager Nigel Clough has refused to rule-out the possibility of raiding his former club Derby County when the transfer window reopens next month. Clough, who spent four years at Pride Park before being appointed as David Weir’s successor earlier this term, made the admission ahead of Saturday’s victory over Swindon Town which left United 19th in the League One table. “That might be a possibility,” he said. “It’s something we have spoken and talked about. “It’s always an advantage when you know the people and the individuals concerned. “So, yes, that’s something we have looked at doing because we left some very good players there.” Johnny Russell, previously of Dundee United, is among those Steve McClaren, Clough’s replacement, could allow to leave the East Midlands. The 23-year-old centre-forward, who cost a reported £750,000 when he left Dundee United six months ago, appeared as a second-half substitute during County’s win at Charlton Athletic 48 hours ago. Clough, speaking at United’s annual general meeting of shareholders, also confirmed Lecsinel-Jean Francois will feature in a friendly against Huddersfield Town later today as he continues his own recovery from injury." What madness is this? Johnny Russell? What are they smoking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boycie Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Bailey? I doubt he's after him. Tell thee what, loan him Bennett. Even though he wouldn't loan him out him self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Good as Nigel undoubtedly is, he does not have the credentials of a Lord Brian, despite being of his pedigree. He can hardly be expected to offer a premiership title and a couple of Champions league medals as an inducement to join Wednesday. He is a great team builder but at present a first team place at Derby is more attractive than personal loyalty and friendship. Let's adopt a wait and see policy on this one.

Brammie Steve Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 United 2 possible replies:- 1) I meant he might sign on a Wednesday. 2) ah! I was wondering when someone would spot that. Genuine answer At my age I'm allowed to make the odd mistake. What's all this about the Damned United. Put the Blades away say I. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 I'd let him sniff around Ward and recall Jacobs back if it was me. With Russell getting back and Bryson light years ahead of ward in terms of set pieces (his beat the first man) I'd see nothing blocking the move...

harrydean98 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 They surely can't get rid of Russell. They know that the fans love him, he's not been in the English league for too long he's still getting use to it. If we get rid of him we will regret it, plays a big part for us.

YorkshireRam Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Ben Davies i can almost certainly see leaving, he will be a good League 1 player. Nige might also go for Bailey? On his day a solid championship midfielder so should perform well in League 1. Russell though... NO CHANCE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TroyDyer Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 No only has Clough spoken about it, he's talked about it too. That's worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CornwallRam Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 Ben Davies would seem a good move for all parties.I also wouldn't be surprised to see Conor Sammon move there - I can't see him remaining happy to be a bit part player. I suppose that Legzdins is also a possibility, although I get the feeling that he was annoyed that Clough transfer listed him. I think Nigel should morally take Saul Deeney as he kept extending his contract for no apparent reason. I could see O'Brien and Bennett going on loan.
