Millenniumram Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 2 minutes ago, G STAR RAM said: I'm glad that they have signed but arent you falling into the trap of over hyping our youngsters? Bird has had half a decent season and you're describing him as one of the league best midfielders and Sibley has had 4 or 5 decent matches and you say he is heading that way too? I'm all for supporting our youngsters but think you're going way over the top with your comments. I genuinely think Bird is up there, think there was a good graph put on here the other day which showed his effectiveness compared to other players in the league. His ability on the ball is special. My comment on Sibley probably wasn’t very clear. I don’t think he’s at that level yet, but the point is I think he has the potential to get there. With more game time he’ll get better, but he is still very raw at the moment - as you’d expect, given he’s only played about 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's good when you've got creative players around you. I'd say our midfield has been anything but effective for a run of about 10 games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In our current system, I think we’d be better with Bielik next to Bird. But I’d rather go a bit more attacking and switch to a 4-3-3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IlsonDerby Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Dunno why people think they’ll be on a fortune now. They’re still incredibly young. I’d be shocked if they’re on more than £8k a week. I’d imagine a bit lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 So much interest in their pay. For me this is football news, Derby County news. And it's brilliant news for Derby County. COYR ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely means something. It means when Bielik is fit we will have a truly dominant central midfield partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucker1884 Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Brilliant news. Here’s hoping that the next time they sign a contract, it’s for a prem team... and it’s an extension to this one, in about 3 years time! ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a few other things aside from that show how highly regarded he is: 1) Rooney's comments about him 2) Getting the player's player of year last year 3) Looks he is going to be (practically at least) be Vice Captain for the season 4) That he has been ever present pretty much since he came in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly though I'd be keen to see us move to a 3 man midfield with Bird as the sole DM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ImARam2 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 All this means is that if there's a transfer, it'll have to be a big fee. Watch this space as there are a couple of clubs "sniffing around" for these types of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I prefer the Mac 4. Thorne, when he started with us, was the best of the 8. So sad how things turned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
