BathRam72 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 16 hours ago, Steve How Hard? said: I'd gladly tip up £50 if it would realistically save our prized asset. As much as it pains me to say it, it appears we may have seen the last of him. No we haven't. I think we will be seeing him either way next year. Come on every one. Time too move on. He hasn't found the form he had prior to his injury and maybe, just maybe the lad needs a fresh start and he might want away for that reason. Whatever you say on here isn't going to change things.

Mick Brolly Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 That's extremely cheap in today's market, might aswell keep him as a squad player for when Thorne's injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm....seems like he is going to be sold for less than the club paid for Vydra. Buy expensive, sell cheap... 'the Derby way' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DerbyRevolution Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 £4.5m rising to £7m...whats going on here? i'm not that bothered about him going because i'd like it if the supposed 'best midfielder' in the league could actually shoot but still, i don't see why we are so bad in the transfer market Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheron85 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Anyone else seen this?: http://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/should-derby-county-sell-will-hughes-here-is-what-you-think/story-30404534-detail/story.html Over 3,000 supporters took part in our Derby Telegraph poll and it was pretty close; 52% believe that now is NOT the right time to sell Hughes. The other 48% think that he should stay at Derby County a little longer. Are they not the same thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFCTom84 Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 My biggest problems with the deal are that £4.5 million for Will seems below market rate for a player of his age, with his 1st team experience and undoubted quality. Even worse that he has gone to Watford, he won't get the chance to shine there. Don't play good football, relegation scrap is a distinct possibility and owner has clubs all over the shop that loan players back and forwards it seems. Can't see him being a regular starter somehow. Looking forward to Will getting his chance in the PL (wish it was with us) but feel this could end as bad for both Derby and Will. Really hope he's not on loan in the Championship by January.

Whatever you say on here isn't going to change things. Doubt we'll see him next year if he signs for Watford unless we play them in one of the cups. Last time I looked they were in a different league to us. I think you're taking the OP a bit too literal. The way I read it was as a tongue in cheek post. Just a shame WH can't fulfil his ambition of playing in the Prem with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think there's any doubt he's gonna shine. Well I hope for Will's sake you are right. I like the lad but I really don't subscribe to all this hysteria about him. He has a quick brain and feet, but: he can't shoot, is lightweight and not particularly fast. I think he will get kicked out of the Watford team and off the park.

JaguarRam Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Couple of thoughts here if £4.5 million is true... Rob Earnshaw cost £3.5 million in 2007. Adjusted for inflation that is £4.5 million.. So Rob Earnshaw is worth the same as Will and Will is well under half the price received for Hendrick... Based on the Will being arguably our best player that means on sliding scale Nick Blackman can by purchased for approximately the same price as a happy meal at McDonalds..

With a reference that we may just go up or Watford might come Down. Also thanks for letting me know we are currently in a different league.

sage Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Just a thought from a learned friend. It seemed we were looking at £8m rising to £10m. Then suddenly it was £4.5m rising to £7m. I wonder if it suited one or both parties to pay/accept a lower fee and write off and last instalment on Vydra and/or Anya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 I'd gladly pay the 50 quid. According to some reports we'd only need 80,000 fans, not 250,000. Someone with very good connections at the club told me Rowett doesn't fancy Hughes and Mel always backs his manager. We've been touting him round, but he doesn't seem to have the admirers many here believe he should. Perhaps a good final push in the U21 Euros will see some late bids? Though you feel it's already too late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

europia Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 Regarding the sale of high worth players at the club (ie Hughes, Ince). Just wondering who at DCFC, is an experienced and competent negotiator, particularly when dealing with PL clubs. Due to his age and time in management, Rowett isn't very experienced in such matters. Not a criticism, merely an observation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
