JS1997 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 That's why there are rumours, I get that. But it seems people are actually in favor of signing him, personally I don't think it would improve us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 What's happened to Jordan Mutch then? If we're going to try and stick with this 'variations on a 4-4-2' (Vivaldi I believe) system then he'd be a decent shout again to play a tackling-midfielder-which-we-don't-have type role...

I'm sure I read on here his wages/demands were ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boss Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Can't see Mutch moving back to Derby. Felt he was treated poorly last time and his wages would stretch us. Although, a lot of his family still live in Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I thought the rumour was he followed Westley out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollycutts1982 Posted August 15, 2016 Share Posted August 15, 2016 Still irks me that mediocre footballers not getting a kick at their clubs want more a week than most normal folk earn in a year. Suppose it's football though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true Cheron, he even lived with Westley at his family home with a couple of the other youth players when he first joined Birmingham. Just get the feeling he no longer has any real connection with Derby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suppose it's football though. why? the average professional footballer's career lasts something like 2.7years. Why not try and maximise your potential earnings? Each player runs the risk of pricing themselves out of football (See David Bentley), but if you can find a club willing to pay it, take it. Careers are soon over and there's only enough room for so many coaches, managers and pundits! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never begrudged players earning what they can, I'd do the same if i was them but why do they expect to finish work at 38 just because they play football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't take a faux moral high-ground, we aren't footballers, but this guy is no different to any other footballer in regard to you're going to take whatever you can.

He played college at Wake Forest University, which is only about 25 minutes from where I live. Watched him play a few times there, and thought he was quite good: Quick, creative, and really good on the ball. Tbh only have watched him once so far for NYCFC, but the one game I did see a couple of months ago, he was even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine playing with the likes of David Villa,Lampard and Pirlo in training day in, day out will help improve him even more. Definitely a name to keep a close eye on in the next few years. Lampard rates him really highly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
