Anag Ram Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 4 minutes ago, StarterForTen said: AS the saying goes... " there's no pace like Holmes' " He covered the ground well and gave the team some raw forward momentum but his quality left a lot to be desired. Personally, I thought he was a liability on the ball and caused us more problems than he created for the opposition. I think Rooney very quickly saw him for what he was. Rooney seemed to have a lot of time for him. He was often seen having convivial chats. I'm pretty sure WR wouldn't stand in someone's way if they wanted to find first team starts if he couldn't guarantee it at Derby County. I think you're right talent-wise. You just know who he's going to find his shooting boots against though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRammy Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 If that's right from what I read we got no upfront fee for holmes then that's criminal . The fee we get is all based on milestones goals scored, appearances, promotion etc etc . Bad decision we should be getting some fee no matter how small .

He could have stayed till the end of the season collecting a wage and then left for nothing. This way he is off the wage bill plus we might get some cash back depending on what the deal is regarding goals etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can somebody explain ? Except not wanted here and wages off the books. Wayne wants to build a team and he knows who he wants to keep. Staying up is the target and fresh start next year.

Can somebody explain ? Sounds like someone has their wires crossed on this one. Reports suggested nothing up front with add-ons taking it up to the £750k-£1m mark. Maybe £25k per appearance?

i-Ram Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 7 minutes ago, Malcolm Brooks said: Huddersfield saying no upfront payment , performance payments up to £25,000 limit. Can somebody explain ? Huddersfield Town are a Championship Football Club. Derby County similar. Derby County have agreed that footballer Duane Holmes can leave before his contract expires, and Huddersfield Town have given him a contract. That is much as I know, I suspect anyone knows, as the terms of the contract were undisclosed and therefore the actual details are only likely to be known by the parties involved in the transfer.

I guess the point you're overlooking is why did we get in the position that the player could have left on a free in the summer anyway? Then this will at least manage your expectations about how much money we could and should have got for a player who was going to leave for nothing in a few months time anyway.

Because the club considered it wasn’t a good idea to give a contract to a player who didn’t want to stay and couldn’t get in the team on merit anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shang Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Pretty clear cut what happened. He definitely wanted to join Huddersfield and didn't train well to force the move through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaspode Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 There were a lot of photos/videos of training when it seemed the Holmes was larking about so maybe he didn't buy into the Rooney work ethic. Good to have moved him on quickly in that case..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half fan Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Rooney has hereby sent a message to all existing and potential DCFC players that the hairdryer is plugged in and will always be used if need be. Well done boss Wayne! He will only tolerate good apples in the barrel, in the best interests of all the good apples. Also sends a message to the Board.
