Day Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 If a player doesn't want to be at the club it would be foolish to hold on to him regardless of his ability/potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarodyDCFC Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Considering how much money we got out of him- yes it was a good decision. He didn't do anything special for us anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Selling a player for double his real value is always the right decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 For 10.5 million, yes. Hendrick was a quality player for Derby and I used to get spectacularly annoyed with people suggesting we should sell him every summer, but 10.5 million is a good price.

Plus £10.5m for a squad player too, it was a simple decision and the correct one IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Never, ever consistent enough to guarantee a starting place so a great price - if he can put in regular good performances over a couple of seasons, it might actually end up looking cheap, but that's a big IF.......

JaguarRam Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Was never going to be worth more than after the Euro's. Great transfer for Derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalsheep02 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Selling him was the right decision - the ways the funds raised have been used is possibly more questionable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich84 Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Agree in the main with the previous comments, but the only issue for me was not replacing him. I said in the Hendrick transfer thread that for all of his failings, the vast majority of our best performances in the last 3 yes came with him in the team - he gave us a balance in midfield which has been sadly missing without him. Maybe when Thorne is fit Johnson will end up doing the same role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihangel Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I have little doubt it was a good decision on many levels. He was being offered PL footy and probably some big bucks, difficult to resist > £10m, he just didn't perform often enough to say no to that sort of money We have a plethora of midfielders of varying different types and abilities, at least getting shot of one helps see the wood for the trees a little bit > £10m again. Jeff Hendrick. FFS. While, obviously, we haven't really performed since he left, I don't think he would or could have made the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gritstone Ram Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I will say yes but I feel we didn't spend the money wisely . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth's left foot Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 He wanted to go, you can't stand in the way of him wanting to play in the Premier League and £10m is a ridiculous amount for him. i would much rather have him in the side instead of Butterfield and Johnson. I always liked seeing Jeff,Will and George in the midfield. When he's back in the championship next season playing in front of 15k he might get itchy feet again and we'll buy him back for £5m!

Millenniumram Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Definately the right decision, barely capable of playing consistently at our level yet alone premier league, hasn't got a footballing brain and hides away far too much for my liking, we absolutely robbed Burnley of 10 million for an average championship player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The hole in what could laughingly be described as our midfield suggests that he is being sorely missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more. The lack of support from the midfield moving up to the striker is painful. However I'm not complaining at the £10.5m fee.

nottingram Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Selling him was the right thing to do, letting our worst manager in years see a penny of it was spectacularly the wrong thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree. We're missing Thorne more than Hendrick and due to his absence we are no longer getting the best out of Hughes and Bryson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
