Ambitious Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Well done on picking one personal opinion out, shame you didn't post all the accurate quotes. Anyway honestly good luck as I really do like Derby but it really will be without Thorne like it or not as a Championship club cant spend the kind of cash he would command. No hard feelings and hope you come up sincerly. If the things I heard about Sherwood at Spurs were true, then I wouldn't be surprised at all to see him dumped on our doorstep next week with a ribbon around his head. Think Mike Bassett, but less funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knew I could get another post out of you I do see they seem to hang on your every word on there and it looks like you occasionally announce a deal shortly before it's official. Well done.

Baggie79 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Knew I could get another post out of you I do see they seem to hang on your every word on there and it looks like you occasionally announce a deal shortly before it's official. Well done. My boss is a County fan and we have a box at your place, if we are not playing I go to your games. I told anyone willing to listen that Thorninho was top class and watch out for him. After a couple of games they said he was pants but I said just wait and see, now they are doing cartwheels wanting to sign him. Not having a go at you but no club in the Champ can spend the kind of money required to get him from a Prem club who dont need to sell, not just Derby but any club outside the Prem unfortunately.

RamNut Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 This thread is embarrassing. 2 Baggies come on here and get subject to all this garbage. A few observations..... George Thorne made a huge improvement to us. Players like GT are not ten a penny, they are rare. He fits our system perfectly. He would like to join us but is under contract to west brom. If we want to sign him then we will have to meet THEIR asking price. We can't name our price and then bleat that they are being stubborn or unfair if our bid is rejected. Bidding under £1m is not clever. It is totally pointless and makes us look like amateurs. Hopefully we make a second serious and credible bid asap. If we cannot afford him then thank west brom for the loan, thank GT for his endeavours and announce that we are moving on. But frankly we have had ages to determine the asking price, we said we were going to have a real go to make this happen, or this just more posing in front of the fans in McFarlands Bar?

AndySlory Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I would be worried if I were a WBA fan too. You almost dropped out last season, you may not be so lucky next time. Want some worry beads? If we look at our two seasons: One stayed in the premier league after a season whereby almost everything that could go wrong did go wrong (you seem to be forgetting we finished 11th, 10th then 8th the 3 years previously) vs A club who by all accounts had your best season in 7 seasons? and failed to get promotion. I know which position I would prefer to be in and that's the one in the premier league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I don't buy it, he was absolutely outstanding on debut and nobody in their right mind would have said he was pants. You may very well be right about the £8mil + addons, it's ludicrous but who am I to say, but the above is nonsense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 So would I, but it never lasts forever. We had a similar run in the late 90s but come in the 2000s the downward spiral happened, good luck next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hendrick and Hughes are invaluable first team players. George Thorne has a similar amount of Championship (and career) experience to Mark O'Brien, just chuck in a handful of Premier League games. Players with better records, similar age and more experience have gone for bids at that £1 mil mark from bigger clubs than West Ham. Unless West Brom are planning on playing him, I don't see any final price being that massive either. West Ham? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 The conclusion isn't in sight and everyone's who's saying 'oh, that's that then, never mind' every time a tabloid reports something about it, you need to get a grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just agreed that he should be worried. By the way I'd actually prefer our season to yours, much more fun thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
