Or am I way off? They can swap if they want and give us some money that would be very nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deanoakaram4life Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 Did he actually say it will be sorted soon? Either way Hughes should be the best paid player in the squad by a country mile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or his agent did. It's he that does the negotiating. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where's it from? So long as it doesn't effect his performance then I don't mind if he wants to go test himself higher up. He's had chance to leave before and stuck by us. For a while he probably had a glimpse of how his future could go if he's playing DM in the bottom half of the Championship. Sometimes you have to take it while it's there. Loyalty can cost you a better career. Or his agent is just trying to get the maximum Derby are willing to pay. Exactly what we'd all do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellafella Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 Hughes runs the show. He is a very special player. Without him we are just not the same team. He is the CPU. We should give him an offer he can't refuse. The future should be built around him...He is in microcosm what MM is all about...total excellence in a Derby County shirt. I suspect that MM is all too aware of the significance of Hughes and will have a strategy to keep him at Derby. The future of Derby County is yoked to the future of William Hughes.

But if he wants to test himself at a higher level, play for his country, possibly in a world cup and make more money then he may not sign any offer. I agree 100% we should do our best. And I rate him as highly as you. Not arguing with you. Just if he's ready and there's a chance to go for it... there might never be another shot. You never know I bet Vardy wishes he was at Arsenal right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but it's a disservice to the player to have him stay in this league next season. Any contract should contain a release clause or have a clause (either min fee or a non promotion release). He deserves the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddy Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 We will no doubt tie up Hughes with another contract, knowing that if/when a prem club makes its move it will add a few million more on to the fee. He is the only real creative midfielder we have, we need to add another in Jan, before its too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know we only need a couple players in certain positions that will make us a challenging team, at the moment we are relaying too much on Hughes, when he is not available or off his game we don't look the same, we don't have anybody else of his skill and intelligence. Some may not like it but its the truth, we are light in midfield, Johnson in as DM is a revelation, I see Bryson and Butterfield as subs, as a fresh pair of legs.

Absolutely. Bryson needs to play over Butterfield who has become "reclusive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A player needs game time because he becomes ring-rusty. I would pick Bryson over Butterfield and get Bryson flying again...We are winning games atm because we are not conceding...a bit like Burnley last year, but attack-wise we are quite conservative (check out the Championship scatter charts and we are only very average in attack. Get Bryson back and we will start to become much more potent up top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
