Perky1106 Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Or maybe Clough just watched him in a trial and thought he wasn't good enough. Maybe? :confused: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 DERBY County say they have an agreement in place to sign West Bromwich Albion striker Chris Wood on loan. The Rams were on the verge of landing the 18-year-old New Zealand international before the transfer window closed on Tuesday but injuries to other West Brom forwards held up the deal. Roman Bednar and Ishmael Miller picked up injuries and Wood found himself on the bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield. Wood could be available once the window for emergency loans opens next week, if West Brom's injuries have cleared up. "We are looking to go straight back into the loan market when it opens again," said manager Nigel Clough. "We were very close to getting somebody in on loan. We had agreed the move and we will revisit that one. We will also chase up a few other inquiries once the window opens. "We got quite a way down the road with West Brom and with Chris (Wood) as well – and we hope that as soon as West Brom's injuries clear up, we will be able to get him in. "I think he fits the mould of the younger players we have. He is inexperienced but he has played international football. "It is a pattern we are trying to follow of young, hungrier players. "We will get frustrating times like Saturday when we were two up against Queens Park Rangers and when more experienced players might have seen the game out but the only way to get that experience is by going through it." Derby have brought in Spanish forward Alberto Bueno on a season-long loan from Real Valladolid, while Rob Hulse, who was in the final year of his contract at Pride Park, is set to complete a move to QPR. Clough felt the Hulse deal was right for Derby. "Rob has got us goals in the last 18 months, and some very important ones as well, we cannot deny that," said Clough. "But we have to look at the overall deal for the club and ask if it is the right deal – and we felt it was at this stage. "We will only do deals we think are right for the club. Rob had nine months left on his contract and it was unlikely we would have been able to agree a new deal with him, hence the outcome." Clough would like a new face in before the Rams return to action against Sheffield United on September 11. "By adding Bueno and with Chris Porter getting fit now, the pressure is off a little bit but we just need may be another one in," said Clough. "Ideally, we would like somebody else in before our next game but they have to be right and somebody we want to put in the team. "They have to be better than what we have got. And this isn't a daft thing to say but they have to be better than Dean Moxey. "His two performances up front – we wouldn't play him there for 40 games – have been exceptionally good. "The last thing we want is to bring somebody in, maybe from the Premiership, who doesn't give it that because we would then be worse off. "Dean has played one-and-a-half games up front, he has scored one goal and been an absolute nuisance. "We will follow up on calls. We are a big club, getting 25,000 crowds and playing a type of football a lot of Premiership managers will want their young players to come into, which is important as well. "Bueno, I would say, wasn't even 50-50 about signing before he came to the game Saturday. He just came over to have a look but he watched the second half and loved the atmosphere, loved the game, loved Pride Park and said: 'I want to play here'. "It is that sort of character we want to bring in." http://www.therams.co.uk/news/Undefined-Headline/article-2596785-detail/article.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leeds Ram Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 yes but how many league goals has this wonderkid scored? and yes you get experience through playing but he's never going to sign for us permamently so I would rather we look for more experienced players or players who have a future at derby county.

Hucknall Ram Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 yes but how many league goals has this wonderkid scored? and yes you get experience through playing but he's never going to sign for us permamently so I would rather we look for more experienced players or players who have a future at derby county. Who says Clough hasn't got any more experienced players lined up? Also who to say Wood hasn't got a future at Derby? He may do well, and he fall under a barker type fee. Also how many 18 year old have world cup experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeds Ram Posted September 4, 2010 Share Posted September 4, 2010 your living in a fantasy if you think wood is going to sign for derby, he is on a 5 year contract at westbrom and they paid a lot of money for him, i believe the fee was sommthing like 3-4 million. He won't come here on a permament unless a stupid amount of money is thrown at him. I would be happy to see him as backup until the market opened up in janurary and then we can buy somone with pedigree in the division with the hulse money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
