Day Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 All I'm saying is let's see what he can do this season before extending it. If he can do well and prove he can still cut it over a full season then yeah extend it for another year if Mendy and Pringle are not ready to make the step up. As Cumbrian said as well he would have to take a pay cut as well. Why are we so desperate to extend it now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 What if he has a stormer? and we could really do with his experiance next term? He could then demand more things or even move. Get him signed up, on a reduced rate now. His future is then sorted and he can concentrate on his game. simples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Not simples, I think theres more chance he could sign a new deal and pick up a long term injury and never recover from it, we'l then be left with a duff 37 year old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicky-27 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Originally posted by Boycie;27141 Will somebody tell David he's wrong Please. DAVID you are wrong !!! Sav is as fit as any of the lads in pre-season training - he hasnt missed a days training in 18 months and he says this was the best pre-season he has ever had. You should see him on the pitch helping the young lads along and gee-ing everyone up if we are loosing - we need him ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrOrdinary Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 and if he gets crippled turn him nto a coach, he stays in the dressing room, and youd get his years of experiance win win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 M'lady I'am not wrong, it's my opinion. Savage has admitted on two occasions that I have seen his legs are gone, thats not me looking on from the sidelines or listening to other people, that's his own words. When your 30+ you are more prone to injuries and when you pick up these injuries it takes longer to regain your fitness and in some cases (Stubbs) you don't. This season will be tough on Savage as we have a small squad so we are unable to rest players. We have 2 young players in Mendy and Pringle who are desperate to get into the first team and show what they can do, we need to introduce these players slowly into first team action, hopefully they will be ready to play on a regular basis next season which will make Savage surpless to requirements. I want players at Derby who can put a shift in for 90 minutes week in week out all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicky-27 Posted August 8, 2009 Author Share Posted August 8, 2009 Mendy and Pringle may well be desperate to get into the team - but they need someone with experience to guide them and that man is Sav - natural bourne leader, he gives 100% for 90 minutes and he will last the season.

Day Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 I can just see this backfiring on us come the end of the season thats all. The guy obviously loves Derby I'm sure he will realise at his age clubs should be wary with offering deals. Let him prove himself this season, IF he can keep up with the pace then offer him the extension on reduced wages. That in my opinion is a better win win. Looks like we'l have to agree to disagree on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boycie Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 If you still think his legs are gone, you didn't see him chasing down defenders like a headless chicken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
