How much leverage do you think we had? Ryan Conway said it was incentivised, based on games played we get money? How likely he stays fit? If it's on goals scored we'll get threepence! ?

Steve How Hard? Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Good luck little fella. Cracking player on his day. Just a shame it didn't happen often enough for various reasons. Deal makes sense all round so no hard feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the full interview I think it's a bit more balanced, about being pleased to be home etc. It's here: https://www.htafc.com/news/2021/january/duane-holmes-delighted-to-be-back/ Certainly explains why he's not been in the squad - Rooney has made it plain that he wants commitment from the players - if Duane has clearly been keen to leave then he didn't stand much chance of being selected. Shame because I thought he was good character and could have had a decent future with us but if that's his attitude then pleased he's away from the rest of the squad....

An ambitious man who will want first team football. A man who doesn't see first team football at Derby and remembers his time at Huddersfield fondly. I just think he's being honest.

Honest yes, committed to the club paying his wages (eventually!), no. DCFC website - Buchanan: "we all love digging in for each other". That's what Rooney wants and obviously wasn't getting from Holmes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Maybe a little too honest. I am sure it goes on, but unprofessional to make it public. I thought his spell last season until he got injured was his best for the club. Just never came back from that the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkle Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Nice chap - worth the gamble signing him but he proved not to be any better than the players he replaced - good luck to him but to me he is never going to play at a higher level and he is about mid to bottom championship squad player ( like where we are currently) I do not think he is a central midfielder at all in terms of what he can do but he should be a decent winger but simply doesn’t want to try at that position whilst not being able to beat a man in front of him ( running into open space doesn’t count) limits his usefulness for me his best moment in a Derby county shirt was coming off injured at Ellend road to be replaced by Marriott in that Night of nights (which is a bit sad) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be dicks but this is far from it , Holmes literally says outloud he played for us in that game purely to make his case to leave for the opposing team , good riddance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Can't say I am too surprised by Duane Holmes' comments, as he's looked like he couldn't be bothered to play for us all season. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most fans were fine with him leaving anyway, as was I, and besides, he was probably told he was surplus to requirements/free to look for a new club before that match took place. Otherwise, decent player, always looked like he had the potential to be better if he added end product, but I think he'll always fall short, like a lot of Championship players. I wish him well, he was a decent servant here and it's nice for him that he's had an opportunity to re-join his hometown club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good riddance. WR making some very good decisions so far. Only wants players and staff who are committed to the Rams. I’m liking him more and more each day, but reserve the right to change my opinion if we lose a game ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kernow Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I generally liked Duane as a player in his time here. No problem with him joining the list of players who I honestly couldn’t less about given the way he’s decided to leave. I’m glad WR doesn’t tolerate that kind of attitude and we went to the effort to get him out of the door now rather than waiting til the summer.

When MTW left last week most Derby players put stuff on Instagram wishing him the best I’ve not seen any yet for Holmes, he may of been a squad player but for me he never seemed that interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
