Gerry Daly Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 2 minutes ago, Caerphilly Ram said: Taking his name out of it I’d be interested to hear we were looking at signing a 20 year old midfielder, who’s a youth international that came through United’s academy and has been playing league one football this season with 4 goals and 1 assist across 28 appearances in all competitions. It fits the profile of who I’d want us to be signing, younger players with potential for their ability on the pitch as well as their re-sale value to the club. Totally agree. I want to see us start building for the future, no more stop gap signings Caerphilly Ram, Betty Swollocks, FlyBritishMidland and 4 others 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree that on paper it looks good but Reading aren’t picking him at the moment. Could be that the uncertainty has unsettled him. If he signs, will his grinning buffoon dad be seen at PP?

Where does this come from? Savage rubbed people up the wrong way but to reduce a player who spent a career as long as he did at the top level to running around a lot. Easily more technically gifted than anyone else in our side when Clough brought him back in from The cold.

He was dreadful when he first came to Derby but when he got fitter, he was useful as an irritant. By then, though, he had lost his spark and had to use his ‘experience’ to wind up the opposition. Was a good player in Leicester’s side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a massive wind up merchant but his ability on the ball was still a step up compared to the rest of the team.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 14 hours ago, Returning ram said: Not disagreeing, but based on what. Personally never seen (maybe notice) him play. Based on his inconsistent game time in a struggling side. No more. I think we need a better quality on loan or permanent to push for top 2. If he costs 50k ok. If not we need the funds for now.

Jewell didn't do his homework and signed Savage to do stuff that even Savage admits he wasn't capable of at his best. Of course Savage could play, you don't make that many PL appearances otherwise, but he was mainly a ball winner and protection for more talented players. Jewell seemed to think he was signing a poundland Pirlo. Maybe it was the hair? I do appreciate that Savage still had the hunger to take a wage cut and prove himself at Derby. There's plenty of players, like Anya, who would've sat in the reserves and seen out that fat contract.

Ilsonram12 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Should be able to snap him up on a cheap deal, apparently all catering staff at reading have walked out due to non payment and players eating microwave meals and conditions that bad there staff are wearing extra layers due to no heating provided, grim times for reading, but the did chant they'd have a party when Derby county die so 🤷 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BatRam Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 When Savage signed was when i first started supporting derby, Savage and Commons were my fav players back then. Ive heard his lad is quite good and he'll only get better with age. Unsure if hes as good as what we've already got mind? Derby4Me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapeTownRams Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 Decent player at this level but if we want someone to come in and hopefully make an instant impact and really assist in or push for promotion then there seems to be better prospects elsewhere… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
