Rampage Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 If any Derby County player is offered a contract, my advice is to take it. Best game in town. Who will pay you more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harrowram Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 21 hours ago, Doodle said: Like Forsyth, I would not offer Russell a new contract. Both in my opinion are very good championship players at best. Possibly very good League 1 players on one of their off days. Both will try their hearts out, which is very admirable. But if we are promoted, both will be well out of their depth, if not promoted, both will be part of the reason why. We should have learned by now offering lucrative and lengthy contracts to players who are not good enough to make the next step up isn’t good business. The problem is that we aren't yet promoted and there is no guarantee we will be . Letting Forsyth and Russell leave for nothing won't help if we aren't promoted. Renewing their contracts enables Derby to transfer them for a fee if their services are not required in the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Derby draw at home with promotion rival shocker.........various players to blame say fans. ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Really poor decision making happens right up the player expense table. Pogba was shown to have made a couple of complete turkeys yesterday at Burnley by shooting straight into defenders when 1 or even 2 teammates were clear for a pass.

LazloW Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Well, I just gave him one (a new contract that is) on FM18 and as I know my onions about this footy management mallarky I reckon GR and JR should be following my lead. Mind you, I just lost 6-1 at home to Preston, so on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topram Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 If we were to get someone else in and a decent offer for him you'd have to let him go! His end product isn't great! But he's certainly shouldn't be let go for free... plenty worse than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always liked him but as we got better he seemed to disappear, he's been better over the last 5/10 games I still feel for Weimann being dropped! Johnny needs to improve on his end product because he gets into great positions... better end product and we'd of won on Friday not just him though Lawrence and others just the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Gold Dream Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 He is in the best form for over 2 years, but his directness and speed does not often result in goals or a creative end product. I think he will sign a new contract but his agent will continue to push for more money for a few more weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapeTownRams Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 To be honest at this point I am neutral. Think we can get just as good if not better for the same salary and if we get a decent a fee then let’s move on. Always likes hi, but been a bit too obvious in his interviews recently about not playing. Not been the same since his jocks mate left for Cardiff imho.

Rab a dab doo Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Will he, won't he, should he, could he. What a dilemma ? He got everyone's head spinning. Come JR make up your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollycutts1982 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I've said it before and will say it again, he is so frustrating. One occasion he will run at defenders and have them on toast with one of his runs but a few minutes later in a position to run at his defender again he will go back to his full back. If you've got the beating of you're opposite number keep going at him. Sometimes his movement, or lack of it, baffles me too. I would like to see him stay but if we could upgrade then I wouldn't argue if he left. For me, when he is good he is good but when he isn't he is terrible and he isn't good often enough.

DCFC1388 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 As frustrating as Johnny can be at times he has been a complete different player since he was dropped from the squad. Rowett has got all the wingers + Vydra playing so much more direct, in past seasons the likes of Weimann + Russell's first instinct was to turn back and pass backwards/sideways but now all of the 'flair' players i've mentioned first instinct is to turn and attack. Obviously it doesn't happen every time but most of the time it does. In past seasons one of my biggest problems with Johnny is that he never took players on, since his return to the team he is so much more direct, yes his final decision isn't always spot on but I think he has almost as many goals + assists now than he did all of last season. After his performances under Rowett I personally would keep him and hope he will renew but if he hasn't by the end of this week I would look to cash in and replace him this window.

Bazal77 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 As much as I like johnny as a player I can’t seem him being with us long term, I just don’t think he’s cut out for champions league football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's cut out for the championship when we come back down... and our Super Foreign signing who replaced Johnny in our PL Campaign sees fit to jump ship, because frankly ther championship is beneath him.

Bazal77 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I don’t understand what you mean when you say “when we come back down” once we are up there is no down. No room for that kind of negative mentality here I’m afraid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
