Festy Ebosele - Signed for Udinese

[Boycie]

I hope he kicks on.

He stopped beating his man running down the line after about 4-5 games, maybe he was told to rein it in and cut inside, but he visibly got worse since his move materialised.

But, if he can progress then that’s good for him, I think he’s a good lad and respects his faith, I hope he goes onto shine.

Well said, Boycie. Some harsh comments on here about a young lad, still learning his trade, who was very conflicted about the right thing to do for his future.

Has family to think of, and once he signed, possible injury played on his mind (he's a bit prone, given his acceleration).

I hope he flourishes.

(Still think he's a wing back, though!) ?

His performance dropped when he was played on the left side. I'm sure he would have skinned the fullbacks if played on the right.

Maybe he was not mentally ready to play or maybe it was sour grapes by Rooney, we'll never know.

If it was the latter then why would Rooney bring him back into the squad and play him?

Admitting he got it wrong, but not publicly?

And more obvious one, our squad wasn't big enough to leave good player out of it.

[Sparkle]

Just like Jason Knight in a way as he has been played all over the team to fill gaps rather than sticking at one role - not his fault just a reality of our situation and I do wish he was staying here with us rather than being loaned out from the Italians all over the place especially to Watford

One thing for sure, is that left back for Hull will be glad to see the back of him. As Festy had him on toast.

Having pace and power is enough to create havoc in the second division, and on his day he was unplayable.

He’s the sort of player that gets people off their seats, and I’ll miss that excitement when he was one on one with space behind…

Lawrence's second goal against sheff utd was "vintage" festy. Thats what he is all about. Knocking it through gaps and using his pace and power to get on the end. Anyone who says they were not excited to see him burst past their 2 players is lying.

I thought it was more vintage Tom!

[Magicman]

IMO he is best suited for a back 3 as the wide FB /winger role. He has more power, threat and influence there. Like Malcom he lacks a end product and weak in their final passes or crosses too often.

Lovely team that Watford .  Right sneaky b******s

When they sack him two months into the season he might be wishing he'd stayed.

Well, credit where it’s due… whatever we feel about his transfer, there’s no denying the lad seems to be doing very well for himself…

I'd imagine at Festyland, you get in the queue for a ride, it states a 50 minute wait time, then after 50 minutes of snaking left and right you end up where you started?

But the sign is now Italian, and directs you to Watford.

Today seems to be the day for confirming goodbyes;

“Also departing from Derby are a number of other players to have come through the Rams’ youth set-up in recent years at the end of their contracts in the form of Under-21s trio Tyree Wilson, Kornell McDonald and Alex Matthews.

Under-18s players Marko Borkovic, Eli Christie and Charlie Rutt have also left the club at the end of their scholarships.

All those players that have left the club do so with Derby County’s best wishes for the future.”

Not sure Festy is destined for the very top, but I do think he would have absolutely killed it in League One if we could have kept him another year.

I know its off topic but not really worth setting a new thread: I'm kinda surprised by McDonald. Not saying he was destined to be a star or anything, but a year as 2nd choice RB and option at CB in League 1 could have suited both parties 

[Crewton]

I feel a bit disappointed for Tyree Wilson too. At one time, we had an exciting player in prospect, but I wonder how well he's recovered from the injury he suffered after that dreadful tackle by a Brighton player?

I hope they all get fixed up with other clubs.
