sage Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 With Thorne coming through 90 minutes, Bird looking promising and Guy getting on the pitch I think we will go with what we have until Jan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the trouble with transfer windows, transfers etc, always looking for the silver bullet signing that will make us an unstoppable force. Imagine if we had just signed our whole squad in the August transfer window .... everyone's hopes would be pretty high I reckon. If GR can make them all click then we will be fine.

Hughes cant switch play at all, let alone ping it 50 yards, which is what we need to stretch play and use the pace of Vydra, Lawrence and Weimann On every planet, ever in the history of mankind he is better....do you know one Derby fan that would say Huddelstone is the best player they have ever seen....? nope....and no matter what some say there is a lot of people who would say that Hughes was the best player they ever saw play...me included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuitYourJibbaJivin Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I really hope GR doesn't pursue this one, he's already said he wants Kief to sign in January, add Ledley to the squad, Bryson and possibly Butterfield back next season were back to having a seriously over inflated midfield. On paper our midfield may look a bit light at the minute but I hope he perseveres with playing the young lads instead even if it may damage us in the short term.

Rample Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 Won't do much harm on a one year deal, be gone before they get back, unless whoever proves a valuable player in which case extend it and worry about next season in summer. Plenty of players out of contract on very big wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best player ever? I really did love to watch him play, even last season when in all honesty he only played well in brief periods of some matches, but he's some way from being the best player I've seen play for Derby, let alone in football more generally. And I wouldn't necessarily expect him to be either at 22 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, for all that, for me he has been nowhere as effective as he needs to be if he is to be classed as one of the best players. In the 35+ years I've been watching the Rams I could probably name a dozen or so other players who were 'better', based solely on their contribution.

Gandalf's shin pads Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Hughes is probably the most talented player we have had over the last five to ten years but he would not have broken into the top level sides fielded by Arthur Cox or Jim Smith. He was a big fish in a mediocre Championship pond. We will see if he can cut it at a higher level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At various times during our history we have challenged around the top of the top division and had numerous players excelling themselves at that level. Will Hughes as only ever played in a second flight team. Of course that alone doesn't mean anything but now he has moved to the top flight he is not even getting in the squad.
