inter politics Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Great news - just keeps the price high when the big clubs come sniffing again. Wonderful talent, top lad - we're lucky to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 Never thought Mackworth was lying, I honestly believed he was reporting back what he had heard. Obviously his source is at least half-reliable. Won't begrudge him if the Bryson contract extension doesn't materialise, as that one is surely still up in the air.

Srg Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Maybe, just maybe, Will has seen the likes of Zaha, Powell, Moses etc. all make the move and get no game time and decided he is much better playing week in, week out for the next couple of years.

Agreed. Aside from this potentially being a savvy move for his ambitions, he also probably enjoys his job at the moment and doesn't want to change yet. Might be one or two other young players watching what happens next with interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inter politics Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 He is an intelligent lad who's head hasn't (yet!) been swayed by football's ugly side of agents and other demons. Plus he is the type of player who is likely to improve and age much better than players who's main asset is their pace - you can't lose football intelligence, only add to it if the coaching and the player is good enough. I'm sure he knows, barring bad injuries, his time will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he knows, barring bad injuries, his time will come. Could be another reason which influenced his decision to stay. Our fitness side of things has come on leaps and bounds in recent seasons and we seem to have stopped getting loads of niggling injuries. We had barely anything muscle-related last season.

Tombo Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Remember his home debut, that was great. If i'm remembering correctly, he was thrown out on the wing and looked incredibly lightweight against the bigger fullbacks, yet he had the intelligence and confidence to take on players and link up with the central midfield players. His determination impressed me that day, did not like losing the ball and always fought to win it back. He's only gotten better since then, he's improved tenfold since then and never fails to impress me when I watch him, Great piece of business.

He's guaranteed first team football under one of the best coaches in the country. He has absolutely no reason to leave. He'll benefit more here than he would even if he was a regular for the bottom 14 PL clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewetube Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 While all the focus of attention has been on who we can get in, this could potentially be our best bit of business all summer. He's the player I'd least like to lose. So I'm very happy about this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EssendonRam Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 It is wonderful news. Very interested to read the views above because I have been trying to work out why he hasn't left yet. Been hoping against hope he saw the potential of Mac to make him a better player with more time; ideally would like to think he BELIEVES in Derby and wants to help see us through. I know that is too much faith to place in a very young man. No one can be THAT loyal and level headed. Even if part of the motivation is to strengthen our hand if and when bigger clubs come knocking, sometimes it seems he is too good to be true. But it's nice to think we have a good, young citizen on our hands. See, B4, at least SOME young 'uns are nice enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albert Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Will Hughes, back to finish the job.Amazing young talent, let's hope he can continue to step it up this coming season.Well done Mackworth Ram... Bryson confirmation will be this afternoon, I almost guarantee it.If they were holding onto the Hughes news to soften any potential blow from Bryson leaving, surely this being announced now is a good sign.
