When Nick Blackman's your main story you know you're in trouble. It will be a sad day. The loss of yet another scapegoat, even though he rarely plays, his contribution to scapegoat of the decade will be right up there for some Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rample Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Sounds like B4 cornered Gazza after the Grimsby game. This worries me a bit for one or 2 reasons. I genuinely don't think at the moment he's worse than our unorthadox wingers but also he's our third choice actual striker with Bent out and leaves us a bit thin. I suppose we'll shoehorn someone like Russell up front in the event of injuries. If we are to loan him out we have to learn from the Martin deal - there are a very small group of championship sides definitely not competing for the play offs so unless he goes to Burton, Millwall or the likes it opens us up to shooting ourselves in the foot again. Unless there is a loan fee in place he catagorically shouldn't be loaned out until the last possible second, then only with a recall clause and if they pay a substantial amount of cash. I say we skank Burton, get Irvine on the cheap and loan them Blackman for the season or try and use him to offfset a million or 2 of Adams, Patterson(?) or whoever's fees.

As will be the case for others too. no-one will buy our rejects. certainly not for what we paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worry about the fact that we seem to have a youf prospect called Bird now - I'm slightly concerned THAT is who B4 was having a go at last season before Baird came in and did such a good job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 All well and good but if Blackman goes out on loan, who are folk going to whinge about? Of those who get regularly slaughtered on here that will only leave Keogh. and Russell and Butterfield and Martin and Weimann and Bryson Thinking about it, we should be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thekingofbuxton Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 He'll probably do well on loan so let's hope it's to a club who might be able to afford him... I've said previously Burton would be ideal, they need a striker plus it's local if he is settled (unlikely) I'd imagine he will want to leave to get some game time It just hasn't worked out for him for many different reasons. I wish him well if he leaves. I hope he resurrects his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spenno Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Blackman seems to embody the criticism surrounding our transfer policy since 2016. We spent so long languishing in mid table looking enviously up at the clubs above us emptying their check books that when we got the chance to do the same we felt it was only a matter of time till we shone. Three seasons and a number of expensive flops, injuries and drops in form from a number of key players later Blackman has, unfairly I might say, come to represent the collective feeling of dashed hopes, broken dreams and unfulfilled ambition of derby county. Either that or he's just gash!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The same thing happened when we splurged a load of Lionel's cash in the early mid 90's. Perhaps as a fan base we'll learn to be a bit more grounded when we spend some of @RamsPolls vast wealth in the year 2040. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philmycock Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Some crazy ill-informed manager will take a punt on him, remember when we got shot of Shotton, the worst defender ever to play for Derby, I mean which fool would have taken that plank off our hands?

Nevermind Shotton, there were plenty on here slating Hendrick as 'bang average' or worse. Quick to rubbish and slow to praise seems to be the default setting for many.
