Not elite, I grant you. But would you be happy if the Rams were the 7th-best team in England with at least two Euro games to play? And we should have been 6th best ahead of Arsenal but for dodgy/"cheating" ref decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kennington Ram Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 I'd be surprised to see him go, kind of seems unlikely Burnley would thin their squad with European games to play and gravelface doesn't seem like a guy for wholesale change. That said he'd be a good fit for Fulham (a fairly robust guy in a fairly fragile midfield) or Cardiff. Could imagine West Brom or Stoke finding the coin for him later in the window if Dyche does replace him tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosmic Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Hindsight is a wonderful thing. We’re all saying we’ve conned Burnley out of £12m, but I remember at the time we were all demanding we shouldn’t sell him for anything less! Let’s not talk down the lad’s worth just so we can revel in saying we coaxed Burnley into paying over the odds. The truth is, that was his value and to all parties at the time it was a fair deal.

Grantona Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Burnley have pocketed north of £220 million since Hendrick arrived at Turf Moor (and are guaranteed at least another £100 million in the next 12 months). I doubt the club are too worried that his transfer fee and wages have been about 7% of the £220 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentRam Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Lets get Eustace back too. And Cyrus Christie and try to see if we can get the Wembley playoff side back together. Will suit those fans who seem to still worship Martin. No disrespect to any of those players, I just want to move forward from that era. Hence a big no.

May be worth a cheeky £5m offer? Who's got £5m? we could need to raise a £9m profit on player sales this year just to achieve an overall loss of @£16m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCFC1388 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Thankfully he had a decent Euros with Ireland the summer we sold him which probably quadrupled his actual value at the time. He has all the attributes for a good footballer but simply doesnt have a 'footballing brain' as some would call it. Like someone said previously, will always be a player who players really well 1 in 3 or 4 games and goes missing in the others, will have a spurt of goals then nothing again for ages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 After being in a team that qualified for Europe playing most of their games I doubt he would want to drop back down to the championship and I seriously doubt we could afford him or his wages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The only one I want back is Hughes and that isn’t going to happen. ? .... Frank and Jody would have got the attacking/scoring side of his game buzzing and he could have become the complete player we all know he has the talent to be.

BramcoteRam84 Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 For those Burnley fans slating him there are probably just as many that rate him. Like on here some fans slated him whereas other fans like me rated him highly. Inconsistent yes but on his day easily one of the best in the championship. He was still maturing and after the euros think he would’ve had his best season as he’d taken his game to the next level. Also got to remember, Burnley finished 7th in the prem, we’re aiming top 6 championship. Big difference. Hendrick is way better than Derby right now. We’ve missed him massively and there’s no way we would get him for anything less than 8-10m. Other prem teams would also be ahead in the queue. Which therefore means no chance.

Grantona Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 The big question is "Would B4evis accept Hendrick back in a Derby team?"....even on a free transfer, given the player's association with Burnley?? I realise B4 hates all things Burnley, who he considers the "dirtiest" and "luckiest" team of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had a chance to be the only claret and blue team - I suspect you screwed them to the floor over that £500,000 you gave them early - just like Tottenham did to us a few years back!

You're suggesting buying Will Hughes back would be a bad idea? I bet Tottenham fans would never ever want Bale back and Utd fans were done with Ronaldo the second he went to Real. By your logic all clubs only sell players who are surplus to requirements thus transfers to bigger/better clubs simply don't happen. Ridiculous.

Rample Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Some lower Prem side will take him, not at £10m, but he's young enough and with enough experience for them to think he's a rough diamond, and I presume his wages are low enough to fit most budgets. If it comes to it I can see a lot of rival Championship sides who can/will cough up £5-6m for him - Stoke, Forest, Villa, Norwich, Boro, Swansea, WBA... Probably out of Mac and QPRs reach. I'd probably take him back on a free next year but the reality is I wouldn't really be wanting him as a marquee signing and first name on the team sheet in midfield this season. Look forward, all this looking back with players and managers has seldom got us anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
