Steve How Hard? Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Lock up your mummys Brummies. Seriously though, it's a real shame it didn't quite work out for him here. Could be a beast of a player on his day. jono 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I bear him no ill will personally I’m glad to see Bielik leave. Feels like the last big reminder of Mel’s reign.

Ambitious Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Just shedding his wage frees up £1.5m for next season. It puts an end to a sorry stint at Derby for Bielik, who through no fault of his own played a fairly detrimental impact in our downfall. A good player, but huge injuries, a massive fee and one of the biggest contracts this club has ever handed out that wasn’t subsidised by a betting company. Wish him well at Birmingham, but it would be good to pass them on the way up. I do hope that he stays injury free - he’s had a torrid time in that regard, InstaRam, Steve How Hard?, JakeDCFC and 3 others 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramarena Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Best outcome really. Had the potential to be a quality player, but injuries have stopped his progress. We need him off the wagebill and even if the fee is only in the 200-400k range it helps. Good luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bris Vegas Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 Similar to George Thorne, a hugely talented player wrecked by injuries. If not for injuries he would be a £25m Premier League player easily.

Birdyabroad Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I think we all need to hope/pray that he passes this medical tomorrow 🙏 If it should go sideways, due to the X-Ray confirming that his leg bones are, in fact, made of straw, then we’re back to less then square one with him. We’d be left with, arguably, the highest paid want-away player in the division. Our options would be to mutually terminate his contract at great expense, play him, disgruntled and risk injury, or hope that some Championship club take a risk on him on a free and we pay a small contribution to his wages. All three will put a burden on our finances 😞 So, back to praying he passes the damn thing tomorrow and we move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 So after 12 months showing his quality in the championship, world cup, international friendlies etc etc yawn. He's got his big move to were he started 12 months ago. Does this mean he's not the superstar he thinks he is and has huge delusions of grandeur. That shop window must have needed a good clean. Thank good he's gone with his back of narcissism. Chester40, May Contain Nuts, Amberram and 1 other 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FKANorwichExile Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I'm a big fan of his and think that in a league like Serie A he'd look ten times the player than he does in the Champ. As it stands, he's always going to be a risk in a league where getting stuck in is such a valued trait. Good luck to the lad, I hope he has a good career, and it feels good to be rid of one of the last vestiges of the Morris Era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say he was excellent in the season he broke his leg and we would have won those playoffs at a canter. How much he meant to that side was evident in the Hull game at home. Bryson was a good player but I'd see he only had one very good season. Half the player after the 5 year contract and missing out Wembley v QPR.
