EnigmaRam Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 If you could make a profit on him and sign a younger good player like souttar who could improve and increase in value I'd take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally doubt we would sign him for 500k and put a release clause of the same figure in his contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to think he'd have a release clause when signing for a championship club on a 2 year contract as a 32 year old. 21 hours ago, Spanish said: ok that's interesting, thanks quite a good idea though for someone at the end of their careers who wants to continue playing. Most will end up benching warming unless they can manufacture a move at a small price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is though, with the age of our squad, I think maybe we need to take a step back to move forward - bring in a centre half who will be better than Davies by next season, and someone who can keep going at the end of this season. I would say that getting a decent keeper under whatever circumstances isn't easy. Joe Hart on loan wouldn't totally shock me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our biggest problem last year was lack of depth in the attacking areas - If Lawrence or Weimann was having an off game we had pretty much no one else - A few possibly talented youth players and a solid wing back (Anya) who isn't creative enough for the final third If we lose Davies we've made a mistake - But I agree we should be looking for someone who can replace him over the next couple of years - For me we need to be thinking about the next 3-4 years in our signings - Which is why Terry is a mistake for me Pearce is only 29 still which I didn't realise - Wonder whether that's why he's being so patient waiting for his chance?

I really don't understand why he signed a new deal with us. At the time he signed it he was playing back up to Keogh and Davies. At Reading he thought enough of himself to let his contract run down and leave. He is someone who i think is still a very decent championship centre half - paired with a decent player and given a solid run he's more than capable of being part of a promotion chasing team, or being a key player for someone a bit further down. Have to assume we're paying him well to warm the bench or he was made assurances at the time about someone like Keogh being moved on or getting more opportunities. Seems a solid pro, doesn't moan when left out and does a job when we call on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby blood Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I hope Curtis stays, because I judge the players worth on what they did for us last season, and he was awesome, by far our most consistent player, and he was a bargain at 500.000 pound, the best player Gary bought for us, also he will be a excellent captain and leader for us next season, really hope he stays, but what ever Frank does I will support 100 percent, can not wait for Notts County away on the 14th of July.

Because we need to fret over this kind of stuff for the sake of the forum. Yesterday there was a thread about a bag of cement that has the same name as a former sponser. Then there was a thread about how Chris Martin has the same name as the Coldplay singer. Is that what you want? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrade 86 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Forgive me Mr Parsnip. I'd not contemplated the void created by a fretting-free zone and am grateful for you pointing out my grave error of judgement. Clearly bags of cement are no basis for conversation on this most erudite of forums save for when discussing Clod's first touch. As for Coldplay..... *shudder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
