Against a team with effectively it’s reserve midfield on the pitch. There will be far greater challenges ahead. Great to see him play 90 though. Agreed that you can only play against what’s put in front of you..... You are MuespachRam, and I claim my £5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Great performance and he boosts Huddlestone's confidence. He had the his best game in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PistoldPete2 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Might have felt nervous playing against mick McCarthy team , the same one that wrecked his leg last time. But not a bit of it. Sign him up now Gary! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Think 18 months would suffice..... I get the feeling Thornes reps might want longer..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Need to sign his contract renewal today. Make a special trip Gary and get him signed up before the vultures start circling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxjam Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Watched the interview with GT post Ipswich on RamsTV and dunno if its me or not but he didn't seem overly happy with his lack of playing time - hope he's not seeing how things develop whilst running his contract down. I would love to see a fit GT tied down to a long contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimmu Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 People are saying he had a good game... could someone say when he has played badly? I'm afraid we'll lose him because he is not a playing enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And still believe we have been lucky by not getting injuries, Us and Wolves definately have had the least injuries from the top sides, and it shows.

George has spent over a year on the treatment table, Gary is managing him in a very sensible way, I believe that George will commit to Derby very soon, he will be back on the bench tomorrow, which is the correct decision as 2 games in 3 days will be to much for him, and then he will start at Manu, and as his fitness levels increase so will his game time. George is going nowhere, the only place he is going is to the prem, with the mighty Rams, Derby have looked after George very well, so he will appreciate this and he will commit to us.

Like your optimism, mate. Trouble is, there is no (or very little) loyalty in the modern game. If George's agent gets a whiff of a longer term deal elsewhere than we are offering, why wouldn't he move? It's a short career after all. By the way, I bloody well hope you're right!

Rampage Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 If George Thorne was playing at his very best for Bristol City what would we have to pay to get him? Pay the wages that we would pay if he was playing brilliantly or let him go? No brainer - pay him the money. He does not owe us anything because he got injured. He had a contract and wanted to play football.Give him another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 My guess is either we're offering a short-ish deal or a big wage cut (or both) and the GT side are seeing it as a negotiating position to moved towards where he wants it to be. I took from GRs post match that Thorne as a player is doing the right things and has stayed fit for 3'4 months now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think a wage cut is on the cards more the deal length, Either way George needs to stay he is the future once the thirty somethings have gone and the most likely of the younger ones who will cut it the PL.

That will put most clubs off signing GT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
