JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Was Anya one of Sam Rush's super duper deals from his web of agency contacts? Absolute chancer that bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolute chancer that bloke. Funny enough, he's been quoted in a Athletic article today. The theme was the difficulty in getting rid of unwanted players on high salaries.

Coneheadjohn Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 He was worth every penny for all the step overs. 100 grand each was a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if the loaning club were only paying £5k a week it'd have helped.... He had the opportunity to go out on loan but didn't take it, according to Ed Dawes. I believe Birmingham was mentioned.

rammieib Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Am I the only one that the day he signed I was actually quite happy with it. OK it was probably the biggest financial mistake we ever made but I thought he was a decent player at Watford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G-Ram Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 If i was a footballer & signed for a club i had no love (so basically anyone other than Derby) id sit on the bench, train with the reserves & see out my massive contract if i wasn't getting another massive contract not to play. In fact towards the end of my career when i feel old & knackered id prefer to be paid not to play ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neil62uk Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Anya & Vydra ...wasn't Pearson,s first choices ... he wanted Jonathan Kodjia & Fernado Forestieri .... Derby wanted to pay instalments on Kodjia but Villa nipped in and paid in full ..... Forestieri did go on strike at Wednesday in hope to join us ... then later returned ... admitted it sure never worked out for Pearson or Anya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe the clause was written in such a way any games out on loan counted, it was a last minute deal so it's possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jram Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Agree with many posters that Anya has done nothing wrong and is entitled to see out the contract Galling though that his continued presence has held the club back ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can pin the apparent woes of the club on one player then you need to look at the bigger picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m obviously not pinning the club’s woes entirely on Anya’s contract but it’s 6 m pounds less to spend over 4 years just in wages Thats one Bradley Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Really shows how much an error can cost . Remember Glick on the Radio during the das of ltd spend getting exasperated when quizzed about parachute payments and lack of signings. Let it slip that the cost of one player was 3 million fee, wages at the club and a payoff amounting to nearly 5.5 million for less than 30 games. I would assume this was Claude.

BathRam72 Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Although you can't blame him seeing out the contract that Derby gave him. He might be rueing not going out on loan and showing what he can potentially do. Happy to sit in the reserves must be a red flag to a potential future club.

I personally don't think he ever intended to go anywhere after us. 32 and constant injury problems. its not like he will be homeless after the millions we paid him. I assume he will just retire now.

If there were several transfer offers he should have gone and that's just cheating the club, with the club just as gullible in allowing it to happen. How do you know he was on this wage? If this is true then it just highlights the recruitment problems we have had as a club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
