RadioactiveWaste Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Sell on clauses? Off the books "deal" on other things we owe Watford? Will wants out? I'm sad about this. However, the world isn't going to end. I think we'll still be watching one of the division's best teams next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninos Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Watford fans seem to be enjoying this deal: a couple comments from their forum: "Sign him for £5mil and wipe off the rest of the money they owe us for Vydra and Anya. If they are still upset, put in a 5-10% sell on clause. If we sell him for £30mil one day at least they get £1.5-£3mil, that's a lot for tinpot club like them." "Derby are our Bitches, sell them the dross and buy the family jewels at Del Boy prices." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a sniff at the end of last season. It was Pearson that liked him a lot. Until GR indicates he even knows who Elsnik is, youre just winding ppl up. Plus he's different: he's more of a kris commons type than a Hughes type too. Ok I'll say it again for the record I would like Will Hughes to stay at Derby but who will go because others are not wanted by other teams to fund team changes.

To be fair, he was one of the players that Rowett mentioned he wanted to play at the end of the season, but unfortunately he was injured. I've only heard good things about Elsnik and I would love to see him feature next season but I think Curtains is being a bit naive. By the way, aren't you winding people up by saying Zanzala will score more than Martin next season when GR has barely said anything about him?

Might mean more potential for Bennett and Elsnik to break through since they'd suit working in a 3 pronged attacking midfield rather than one of the wide men?

Also many more that think they are overpaying and he's overrated, was reading earlier and was a little surprised to be honest. Don't quite understand the tinpotness being thrown by both sides, they seem quite upset by it over there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogbad van 50 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 All these comments about a£4.5m rising to £7m.Has it occurred to anyone that we still owe money for Vydra/Anya? I suspect that will be cleared with this move and result in the fee being more like £10-£11m.Not happy about him going but that's the price we pay for crap previous recruitment.Bring in 2/3 new signings to improve the squad and we'll be fine.It's not about individuals,it's about the team.

Not comparing him to Johnson. All i said was Johnson had a better season than Hughes. Johnson was not brilliant by any stretch so what does that make of Hughes's contribution?

Pretty sure they are the tinpot ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Sorry chaps, thread growing exponentially and can't be bothered to wade through all of it. Looking at the recent posts are we selling Hughes for £5 mill? I feel like I've entered some sort of mad parallel universe.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, he has made us a more attractive outfit, with our ability to pay ridiculous wages. That's part of the problem. We've been sucked into the game of paying inflated wages for players who are quite frankly, not good enough and with little scope for improvement. Give me the Nigel Clough/GSE days over this any day.

Johnson was not brilliant by any stretch so what does that make of Hughes's contribution? I'd say claiming Johnson had a better season than Hughes is highly debatable. In fact one of the reasons I think that Hughes and Butterfield had below par seasons is because they had to drop deep a lot to hold Johnsons hand in getting attacks going. Meaning they couldn't take up attacking positions to really harm opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFruitsRam7 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 As much as I'll be saddened to see Hughes go, this isn't the end of the world. I'm fed up of having nothing to do on Saturday afternoons, so nothing will dampen my excitement for the 4th August to arrive. I bloody love Derby County and life won't be the same until the season starts again with those feelings of hope and dreams of glory, with or without Will Hughes.
