BatRam Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Now that he is match fit, could this be the season we sell George Thorne? Doesnt really bring much to the team, very slow and isnt as good as any of the other midfielders. Hes 25 so will still be worth a bit of money. Had some great moments in a Derby shirt but i feel we could get some money for him and invest in someone younger and better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given his track record, I can't see anyone offering anything approaching £1m, and for that money I'd rather get a pre season into him and see how it goes from there.

LB_DCFC Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Wouldn't get anything for him at the moment. Hasn't played well since coming back from injury, and no one would take the risk on a player after a serious injury with little signs of improvement.Maybe he'll come back from pre season as the old George, but there's no guarantees and i would say that looks quite unlikely at the moment.

BatRam Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 Even 1 million to a lower league side would be enough in my opinion. If we're "balancing the books" cant waste money on someone who could potentially be out of action again for a season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But,he absolutely doesn't work in Gary's system,he's not getting game time and therefore isn't match sharp,fit or probably,properly motivated either. Steve will have him at QPR at the right price,be sure of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCG Posted May 15, 2018 Share Posted May 15, 2018 Sigh... George has been a very good player for us and before his injury was considered the best defensive midfielder in the Championship by neutrals. If he is still carrying an injury he certainly won't be sold, and other clubs will see him as a big risk. Hopefully, he will be fully fit and back to his best for us next season.

We'd have to sell him for a considerable loss, considering his wages. I hope QPR sign him and Martin. It would be a really good move for them.

It's not just neutrals who considered him that way, but a lot of Derby fans. Like you, I hope he can put his injuries behind him and play a full part next season, and I certainly wouldn't palm him off cheap. Not when there's such an upside to him finding himself again.

We'd have hunted you down and dragged you through the streets of Derby tied to a car bumper, before leaving your body on display outside the council house as a warning!

BatRam Posted May 15, 2018 Author Share Posted May 15, 2018 As i said in the original post , used to be good. But hes not even as good as Ledley or Huddlestone or johnson. Id say Hanson and maybe Elsnik will probably be about on par with him also and theyre aint injury risks I like the lad but hes to much of a risk and doesnt add anything extra.

Similarly how Weimann didn't have a future under McClaren. Weimann going into next season will be a key player for us. The other two, and many others, won't even be here.

Surely it's cheaper to pay off one manager than two good players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 What gets on my goat is that every midfielder we have has to be and play like a defensive midfielder! Let’s do something radical and play a proper 442 with two combining forwards and midfielders who support them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
