Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has agreed a ‘first option’ deal for Derby County’s brilliant youngster Will Hughes. Rodgers will get the chance to buy the midfielder - seen as Steven Gerrard’s long-term successor - as part of a pact with the Rams. The Kop chief has agreed to let England under-21 defender Andre Wisdom go to Derby on loan for the rest of the season. Steve McClaren will be able to play Wisdom against Chelsea in the FA Cup this weekend after the new terms were struck. Wisdom had been on a youth loan, with the option of going back to Anfield if Rodgers needed him. But now he has gone to Pride Park on a new basis. And as part of the transfer Liverpool have an agreement with Derby that they get the option to buy Hughes when the Rams decide to sell. Andre Wisdom: Staying with Derby for now Hughes has been on Rodgers’s radar for months but the Liverpool boss held back from buying him because he would not go into his side yet. But the Anfield chief is a huge fan of Hughes and wants to be sure he does not lose him elsewhere if he is sold in the summer. The deal suits all parties as Liverpool now have a major say in Hughes’s next move and Derby have their young talent safely tied up for the promotion push. Hughes is also settled and playing well for McClaren’s side - with the Rams not looking to sell him at the moment. And giving Wisdom an extended run in the Championship has worked out well for the player too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 Don't really understand 'first option' deals - "Yes, we're selling, £20m. No? ok, next"..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 When we get promoted we will sell, if we got £10m we could by 3 players without needing a loan from the bank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 .....so we could afford another trio like Claude Davis, Robert Earnshaw and Kenny Miller. WOW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 .....so we could afford another trio like Claude Davis, Robert Earnshaw and Kenny Miller. WOW.

SSD Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Rodgers said Derby was the best place for him about 1-2 months ago? Hence this article is utter tripe and the journalist gets paid 30k a year to write this **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Billy's gone, man. Get over it. My point is you don't get much for £10m. This kid is going to be huge for next 12 +years. We need to keep him settled and focussed. Talk like this does not help. And if we've done any kind of deal it is wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoStimac Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 My one question would be about our strategy post all these loans. We have to own the quality players. As it stands as I understand it, all ther talented U21 England players will not be ours at the end of the season, apart WHughes. The management team know what they are doing and they shouldn't always tell the fans everything, but I am unsure how this all will play out.

eddie Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If it's "If we are planning to sell him, you get first refusal", I don't mind because that comes with no obligation. It's the Mirror, and it's probably bull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brammie Steve Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Will has never struck me as being in any great hurry to mov away from the Rams. He can probably see that we are going places and may be happy to tag along. Welcome Will if you stay, all the very best if you move on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 If that effects his market value one day then why do it. How do you know we have? I'm still waiting for Jimmy Greaves to sign. The Daily Mirror told me he was looking for a house in Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The Mirror never seem to get stories about Derby right so I'm not concerned. Also, wasn't Wisdom always on a season long loan anyway? Happy New Year everyone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
