Really? It appears we are shopping in the out of date aisles. And in all seriousness, they've signed some cracking players who would waltz into our side, Mendez-Laing in particular. But yeah, we don't shop at Rochdale, we are too good for that. Laughable that we'd look down on Cardiff et al. They've been in an FA Cup final and the Premier League in the last decade and are currently flying under a proven quality manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great post to many Derby fans think were more important than we really are If there's not a load of noughts attached to the fee our fans think they are no good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, I preferred the idea of Bryson and Butters in our squad than Ledley. Two is better than one. Both great players who were written off very quickly. I hope everything works out, I'm of the clapping happily fraternity. But the last few months have been a massive mess and my common sense sometimes weighs in. If we wanted Ledley we'd have signed him ages ago. Been free all summer. He's here now purely because GR gambled on black on deadline day and it landed on red. Don't try and curry it any other way. Cardiff chose Bryson over Ledley. What's that say? Rowett said in the pre Birmingham interview we were looking at him earlier in the summer but didn't think he would want to come to us at that time as he had lots of offers, and thought that he was probably holding out for a prem team. It is only the events of the last week or so where has convinced him to try and sign Ledley (Thorne going off after 15 minutes in the under 23s, Guy going off at half time, Hanson looking like he is still 7-8 weeks away from first team action) He said that if any of those were fit then he probably would not have gone in for him.

Right. So you believe him. We weren't ever in for him. He did not want to lose Butters or Bryson. They asked to leave. So he scrambled trying to get Davis. He failed so asked for Keith. Failed again. And so he's looked at the scrap heap and grabbed Ledley. That's my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You say Ledley is on the scrap heap, however it's safe to say that he has performed at a much higher level than Bryson. In the last 18 months, he has played in the Prem and has played in the semis of a major international tournament. What has Bryson done in that time? Plus, Bryson does not fit into our formation. He may well suit Cardiff's style of play, but he would have been a bit part player here at best. And he's older than Ledley. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate Bryson's contribution, however we need to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was probably just resigned to the fact that whichever Pratt we had as manager they wouldn't play him in his correct position. Thankfully Warnock knows how to get the best out of him.

Rab a dab doo Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Turning out to be an excellent signing. A bonus goal as well. Will only get better as his fitness improves. He is something we have been missing for a long time a real enforcer in midfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van der MoodHoover Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Nothing against Joe Ledley. And if we get a rejuvenated bryson back at the end of the season as a by-product then that's fine, dandy and a win-win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry !! I don't know, but I hope not. Doesn't seem to square with the fact that his departure on loan was, I thought, a bit last minute after we failed to shift deader wood.

t'oldu Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Sheff Wed wanted him first then opted for Butterfield when we asked for Winnall as part of the deal. Think GR just let players go to free up space and pay ......and wouldn't have chosen to lose Bryson but needs must if.................................and he was one of our highest paid players. GR thought he was getting MK as a replacement. Presume Rush's fancy accounting has got us into the FPP mess........ all very quiet on that front.
