I think that's more than 7. Players that we could play and players that we should play are different though. We only have 7 players that should be playing first team football.

Don’t really see the reason to make such a snarky comment. Think I’ve seen one or two fans criticising Ebiowei. They’re wrong of course, but entitled to their view. They’re not lesser fans because of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that has been in or around the an academy system can tell you how much effort goes into trying to secure a first team contract. The lad has been through Arsenal's youth system, got cut and tried to get his career back on track at Rangers and then with us. He's taking his opportunities in a cut throat business. Good luck to him and his career, I'm thankful that he played his part on the pitch and was a bright spark in a dark period for the club. jono, angieram, ck- and 4 others 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Don’t blame him one bit. Great pity for us though. Lit up some dark days, the sort of player I have always loved to watch. He’s got “ it” …… The real deal flair player that Flo Jo and Camara weren’t. I am convinced he will do very well. Tell you what .. great recruiting by Palace.

Dimmu Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 IPalace is going to be his 4th team, right? And he is only 18? Hope he can settle down and continue to improve his unquestionably talent. EtoileSportiveDeDerby and Crewton 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatRam Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Bit daft on his part. If our takeover comes through he would of been first name on team sheet. Now he'll rot in reserves like he did at arsenal and rangers. Good luck to him but i hope we dont waste a loan having him back like we did Plange.

DanS1992 Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Just goes to show how badly advised young footballers are nowadays. Stay at Derby, develop playing regular first team football, or go to Palace, who have a multitude of players ahead of him and get no where near the team. All that said I don't blame him for going considering the state that our dear club is currently in. Just a shame, that he doesn't show a little bit of that same loyalty that we showed him when Rooney gave him his first taste of senior football. The move further up the ladder would have happened down the line. Shame that he, or his agent seem so short sighted.

They blood young players, if he’s good enough he’ll get the opportunity. Has he gone to United I’d have agreed with you. But I actually think this is a smart choice for him. jono and Premier ram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the YT comps I've seen of the above they are all players who cut inside early and are more inside wingers. Ebiowei runs to the byline and takes players on on the outside. Maybe Palace are looking for a different option so this makes sense. Would probably be on the bench a lot and put on when their wingers aren't working out.

Leeds Ram Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Going to Palace under Viera is probably a good move for the lad tbh. If he'd have gone to United, he'd have either been loaned out immediately or stuck in the under 23's. At Palace, he'll likely have a chance at first team football even if it's only in fits and bursts. But it is another valuable player who has left, another gap to fill for us in what is looking like an increasingly threadbare and patchwork squad. Hopefully any deal for the club can be made in the next week or 2 at most, so we can start to address the borderline perilous state our squad finds itself in.

Sparkle Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) I’ll wait for him and Ebosele to actually leave but for me that’s an easy £20-£40 million walking right out of the door - we would have been better off not showing the world how good they were until under long term contracts and played them a hell of a lot less - same goes for Thompson and Cashin Edited June 23, 2022 by Sparkle Magicman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right, he should reject that 5 year contract on offer at Palace, where he will either get loaned out to a championship club or perhaps get some chances in a premier League team. Instead he should take the 1 or 2 year offer from a League 1 club he's been at for a season, for probably significantly less money. I'm as frustrated as others are that we're losing players we've helped develop and given a chance to, but suggesting he's making a bad decision for his career is ridiculous.

What a selfish b****** he is. How dare he secure a 5 year contract on more money with better facilities and better prospects. He should be staying with the league 1 club that is currently in administration, struggling to pay wages and going into a new season with half a squad with no gurantee that the club will even exist in 6 months time. The lad has made the correct decision. Its not his fault Derby have been so poorly run. He needs to look after his own career. atherstoneram and Dimmu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
