mozza Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I enjoy watching exRams do well, i let out a wee cheer when he scored what turned out to be the winner today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too, we've sold at least one academy product into the PL each of the last 3 windows, plus Ince. Just need young Will to get the chance now!

I only hear about him when he scores a goal which means he's probably not really pulling up any trees. He's playing regularly in the prem, so his value will now be well above what we got for him. But it seemed good money at the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 At the time, it was an excellent decision to sell him. With hindsight, plenty of posts and threads can be brought up to 'prove a point', but I'd still argue today that selling him was the right decision. He was a good player for us, but he was too inconsistent. He was extremely frustrating, a player with the physical and technical abilities to be good enough for the top flight but was anonymous far too often. He wasn't a guaranteed starter for us, and if we turned down £10.5mil from Burnley and he carried on exactly how he had done at Derby, the club would have been slated for it. He needed a step-up to continue his development as he was stalling a bit here. The same with Hughes who I expect will do well at Watford when his opportunity comes. We sold Jeff at the peak value we were probably ever going to get for him at this level following an inflated price from a good showing at Euro 2016. Good deal for Derby, good deal for Hendrick, and as it turns out a good deal for Burnley too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 £10.5m for a midfielder who struggled with consistency (and at times to even get into the starting XI) was an fantastic bit of business from the Rams, and still is, in my opinion.

Alph Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 He was a pretty good player at Derby but slightly frustrating and probably looks better for Burnley than us. Probably shouldn't make sense but that's football. How else do you explain Diego Forlan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie G Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 A player who used correctly would have been an excellent player for us. Again a 2013/14 player who was played to his strength, a strong runner who had an eye for goal. The forest 5-0 result was Hendrick at his best. The third goal I will never forget but he's now gone so let's move on ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 One third of a Derby midfield that was top 10 standard in the Prem. God I miss our midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uttoxram75 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 The real problem is we've not signed a player as good as Jeff. Every midfielder we've signed since has been a step down from Hendrick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VulcanRam Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 It was right to sell him. He'd gone as far as he was going to with Derby. He's now at a more successful club and has made the step up really well. We got a good fee. Everyone wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dethorn Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I voted Yes Good for him - Yes Good for Burnley - Yes Good for us - Yes £10m was more than enough Have we replaced him properly -No Would you let him go before Bryson, Butterfield and Hughes - No Would you rather have Ledley, Huddlestone or Johnson - No A fully fit Thorne and on song Hendrick ...... did that ever happen ?

The fees that we have received for very good players sold have not been well spent. £8 million on Vydra warming the bench, Johnson and Butterfield something like a combined £10 million p****d up the wall. Blackman, Camara, Wieman, very poor, Jury still out on Hudlestone and Lawrence. I appreciate that selling Jeff, Ince & Will Hughes was probably in the players long term interest, but I am not sure that it has benefited DCFC.
