needles Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 If we can save his wages, give him away and write off the £600k, I'd consider that we'd got out of jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 You've obviously never played football manager. 90% of the posters on here formulate their entire philosophy of football based upon their performance at Football Manager. I know I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott_dcfc Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 We've not seen what he can do yet! He has much more to offer us than what we've seen so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 I saw them in Morrisons once and my recollection is she didn't have a Match & More card, so on that basis she doesn't want to be here, ITK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester Ram Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 If a great bid comes in, I wouldn't mimd us taking it and calling it 'good business'. I see Pearce and Keogh becoming a solid partnership this year, but I equally wouldn't mind Albentosa sticking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eustonstation Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 I'd prefer to give him a proper half-season to judge him. And if he turns out well, I'll start the Kickstarter to buy his wife some flowers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duracell Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Seen him play 6 times. He's only played 8 games in total. Not looked very good at all but that's no time to judge a player.I know about as much as any of you know about his wife and family situation - which is absolutely nothing at all.I was really looking forward to seeing him play and after the Chesterfield game I was pretty convinced the hype was justified. Then we took him off, and we just sort of seemed to fanny about with him a bit for the rest of the season. Then when he did come into the team, his confidence seemed to have been left behind in Spain.Shame if we sell him because the Albentosa we've seen so far - enough for some fans to come to pretty conclusive opinions - is clearly not the Albentosa that earned such an impressive reputation.

Day Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Was built up to be our saviour when our defensive crisis started, that sexy Spanish name struck again as well, the same way it did for Macarell.When he finally made it on to the pitch expectation was huge, Derby were never going to concede another goal ever again with Raul in the team.Totally disregarding the fact he's coming back from injury playing in a new team, new tactics, new country speaking a different language. 8 Games he's played, 8 games.At the same time some were wanting Barker to be given an extension to prove himself after what was it, 3 years out? Makes me laugh as Derby by fans do not have any paitence to allow any player to prove himself. Instant impact or go back to where you came from.

How many times do you have to see Claude Davis to come to a decision.how many seconds do you have to watch Colin Todd before breaking into a smile.

needles Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 8 games is normally plenty. You can either play football or you can't, although circumstances can prevent you showing it and this might be such a case.The only one I can think of who I wasn't overwhelmed with first season who went on to be a star was Chris Powell. Given Raul was doing well in Spain, there must be potentially more to come from him but if we can swap him and not take that gamble, then swap him.

Day Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 8 games is nothing considering the circumstances, we're not talking about an English player, moving to a club in the same league down the road.And Colin Todd was before my time, I ain't that old.

It's Bucko all day long surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
