mrdave85 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Mark Hughes appears to have thrown a few of his toys out of the pram in negotiating a permanent move for Granty: Quote Stoke City manager Mark Hughes has hinted that Derby County could be asking too much for goalkeeper Lee Grant. The 33-year-old is currently on loan with the Premier League side, who are keen to keep hold of him. Hughes admits that the Rams have the upper hand - with Stoke's Jack Butland still some way off a return to the first-team - and the former Manchester United man wants a solution soon. "We would like Lee to stay and I think Lee would love to be a part of the club," Hughes told the Stoke Sentinel. "Obviously Derby have the upper hand in negotiation and maybe we need to come towards a bit more of a sensible conclusion. "At the moment, it's a little bit difficult. It needs to be resolved for all three parties." Grant's form for the Potteries side has been good. Hughes was impressed with Grant again during Stoke's goalless draw with Southampton on Tuesday night, in which he brilliantly backed up a Stoke side reduced to 10 men after Marko Arnautovic's 23rd minute dismissal for serious foul play.

Wolfie20 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I think the pressure's getting to him. Arnautovic committed a horrendous tackle on one of the Southampton players last night and then Hughes had the gall to say it shouldn't have been a red card. Couldn't believe my ears then realised who was saying this. Even with Mourinho and Pardew as competition, he's the most arrogant manager in the Premier League.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 I'd be disappointed if we end up lumbered with Grant when we have a premier league club willing to take his wages off our hands and probably pay 300k for the privledge. Grant has been a good servent to Derby, give him his final big move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyD Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 We have no proven back up if something happens to Carson. We now all take for granted (no pun intended) all the saves and clean sheets that Carson makes. We would have lost or drawn without him many of the matches we have recently won, in my opinion. Grant as back up would allow that quality to continue, possibly resulting in promotion this season. There is a value attached to letting someone like that go. If Stoke think that they can sign a proven premier quality keeper, straight into their first team, without paying that value, they would be crazy. £1m minimum or no deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ninos Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 We prob want more than 1m. I'm guessing it's closer to 2m. You've got by current form one of the top keepers in the premier league with an injury stricken butland. Fork over the dosh, Stoke, don't be so cheap: Grant has earned you plenty of points so far!

uttoxram75 Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Man of the match last night for them. Very popular with the chip eaters. Butland has had another set back and they are desperate to sign him. By all accounts Granty is just as desperate to stay there and is a bit peeved with Derby playing hard ball.

Dimmu Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Take as many peanuts as possible and run! Not good enough for our bench, so it's good for him to get some playing time in PL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
