Buxton is a solid, reliable defender. We greatly missed him last season when he was unavailable. He has less mistakes in him than Keogh. I would argue he is probably our best defender atm. To let him leave even if we brought in Shackell would be a mistake.

If you want to praise buxton then praise buxton, but don't keep praising him by simultaneously having a go at keogh.

I don't want to see Buxton and Keogh leave. I'm not too bothered about the rest of our central defenders but I really don't want those to leave. 

Both are proven to a good standard at this level and both can play football - it's an unbelievably rare breed. 

I would not be at all surprised if Pearce is a mark down on both. I know Shackell is better, but we shouldn't be considering it. 

If we received a daft offer £1.5-£2m then I could see the value, otherwise we're ripping an important character out of the side because he may not be first choice - even though I have no doubts he would play a good amount. 

If people watched more neutral games at this level then you would understand why I'd be hugely reluctant to let these two go.

I hate being a mod.

 

I have the power to ban anyone who calls another poster a ****, but not allowed to abuse someone who doesn't admit that Jake is just below Todd and McFarland in the Derby defensive hierarchy over the last 40 years.

 

Booooooooo

Unless a decent offer comes in, we'd be mad to get rid of a decent-standard Championship defender who's probbaly on low wages, would be happy to contribute as a squad player and never leaves the field having not given 100%.

I'd much rather Bixton as back-up to our centre-back pairing than Pearce.

But if we sign Shackell, I can see Jake leaving unfortunately.

Apart from manhandling at set pieces I prefer Buxton to Keogh

If you manhandle my piece when it's set or not, there'll be trouble.
