uttoxram75 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 McClaren has lots of contacts and to be honest I'd never heard of George Thorne before he signed him on loan. Cisse was another similar type of player to Thorne that Steve McClaren had on trial and did really well for us We also still have a quality midfield without George . So the honest answer is unless you are a scout or a technical director of football like our own Chris Evans then most average fans wouldn't be able to tell you. Hope that makes some sort of sense.

Curtains Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Pull yersen together Curtains......Nigel was after him in 2011..... Well that might be correct as Nigel could spot a good player but George did have a nasty knee injury after that and had only just returned to playing again when McClaren took him under his wings . But I don't want to go down that road as Nigel is at Sheff U now. PS I can remember when Arsenal offered 8 Million for Dean Sturridge and we turned it down but we did get 8 for Seth .

Bromwich Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Thorne better hope he does get the transfer to go through. He will look a right b*llend if this doesn't come off. I must say the way he has treated the whole saga has been very unprofessional Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimbeard Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Just wondering which alternative players you could sign who are better than Thorne, not having a go im just asking. We (the fans) don't know. Why else all this hysteria? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alph Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Was just watching some of the 10 or so minute highlights on Ramsplayer from games last season. Not only is Thorne a beast and always in the thick of the action but Wisdom is class aswell. The pair of them were awesome loan signings. We've not played football that good for years. Watch them, so fast, attacking and just a proper neat and tidy team. I know Eustace played a massive part too. Thorne is just everywhere. Doesn't lose the ball, doesn't lose 50/50's. Strong, tall and even has an attacking threat that Eustace didn't offer. The goal at Donny and volley vs Brighton are the best evidence but he is always backing up the play. He's fookin class. Wisdom too, no nonsense. You might aswell try to beat up a tank. He was so composed on the ball. Percentage balls down the line like 90% of fullbacks? Never. And although he would often choose to pass safely sideways or backwards it's certainly worth noting that he'd do this quite often after forcing the opposition to give up a lot of ground, giving Derby a much higher position. Class players. Without them I'm still looking forward to the season. I just don't think we'll easily find that level of quality again. I really hope between Derby and Thorne we can force WBA into an affordable price. It will be quite an incredible signing if it does happen. Fook moving on. Keep going!!!

Harrowram Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 if McClaren really rates him he should do what Fulham and Norwich have done which is to offer sufficient money that the other club can't refuse to sell him. Either we want to get promoted or we don't. Stop being half arsed about it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
