This brings up a point though. If the plan always to bring a 'pragmatic' manager like Pearson and then Rowett. What was the point of sacking Clement and putting Wassell in charge for half a season ? Because at the time I bought the ******** about it being due to 'the Derby way' but our actions since then seem directly contradictory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because Will Hughes is one of the most technically gifted players we have had at the club for years and Bradley Johnson has the technical ability of a Hippo.

And we're getting £8m according to numerous others, I guess the figure you believe depends on what you want to believe. If you want to stamp your feet and get angry about the sale, you're going to believe the lower figure. I'll say it again, last 3 seasons have been crap, the balance of the team all wrong and Hughes has played a major role in that. Add to that there isn't a queue waiting to sign him, a change may be a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 8 Million for Vydra and Will goes for 7. Madness. I thought he'd always be a Ram. Can't blame the kid I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seth's left foot Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 How much do we owe still for Vydra and Anya? However much that is added to the reported £7m that is still a poor deal for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthram Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 29 minutes ago, Stedcfc said: Whilst this is true, if you have something you want to sell but can only get 50% of its value at the moment, you wait for a better time to sell it. Maybe this one has been leaked to the press so much as we are hoping it might get other clubs interested. Whilst your point is also true, his value is only what other clubs are prepared to pay for him not necessarily what we think he's worth. I could tell you my house is worth £1million doesn't mean it is. Footballers are generally unique assets and difficult to compare with prices paid for other players especially when some clubs, Derby included, have been guilty of paying over the odds in the past. If it happens, which is looking increasingly likely, we need to move on. I'm sure plenty of other clubs have sold their "best players" and somehow managed to progress.

DerbyPride Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 With all of the comparisons to getting screwed on the fee like the Huddlestone situation, how about meeting big Tom's £2m release clause with some of the 4.5x Barker type fee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything has gone slowly downhill since about February 2015. Look at Curtains, the poor thing, he's clinging onto Max-Timi/Timi-Max Elsnik.

Wow didn't realise that, I went to all the matches, Johnson was very good for some, and terrible in some. Hughes probably wasn't as good as season before but so many matches his talent was obvious and he was a calm head on the ball when needed. Would take Hughes over Johnson because simply he is a better footballer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
