I have a feeling we would as he’s come through the academy! I suspect that he was on very good wages and we have offered reduced terms, as such we are not due any compensation. I could be wrong, but suspect that will be the case. Big Trav and dcfcgodd 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich3478 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 1 hour ago, valakari said: No, but Knight, Bird and then Sibley...how to dismantle our academy products one by one for bugger all..and leave us with Bradley, Fornah, Collins et al... This is,what happens when you get a Div 1 specialist in...gets rid of the talented footballers, brings in athletes..and gets relegated against teams that can play football! Don't get me wrong, he was obviously what Clowes saw as a way out of Div 1, and it worked..so brilliant business. My caveat to this though, he is also not very good at keeping a side in the Championship...which worries me..i hope i am wrong! Do you not think that all three of them have ultimately chosen to leave? knight obviously was only willing to do one season in league one, bird has then chosen in January would rather be in the championship than us next season, now sibley is also choosing to go elsewhere. warne might have played some part in that, and I’m not a huge fan. But ultimately he’s gotten us promoted, whereas the three academy players been with us through worst times of our history. Fair play to sibley if he leaves, will wish him well. Think it will actually help his career to be honest. as for us, I just want to see us competitive on the pitch in the championship, let’s see how we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KBB Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I like sibley and do rate him but if I'm totally honest from thinking he would be a mount, foden, Hughes, palmer type player I honestly think he won't play a single game above championship level which is a massive shame.

Srg Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 There’s a few bits at play with Sibley which makes it unique. Fact his former contract was likely good based on what it looked like he was going to be. He isn’t now seen as an AM even though that’s likely where he wants to play. Even at LWB he’s not guaranteed to start so probably wants more minutes. No guarantee it is Rotherham he ends up at anyway, even if he does leave here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Sagan Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 Not at all surprised if Sibley doesn't stay, but I'd be amazed if he went to Rotherham. With Warne and Evans's close relationship, Rotherham is the least likely team in the country to want to play Sibs as their goalscoring attacking midfielder. And involves dropping a division when he's comfortably played at Championship level earlier in his career. If as suggested we've not matched his previous wages, it would be a bargain free transfer for someone with no compensation to pay us, and surely terrible business on our part. I'd actually expect us to have matched his old contract to avoid that happening.

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 I'd understand Collins to Birmingham. Probably a longer deal on the same money in his 30's, more game time, a chance to score more goals and possibly a chance for another year at a decent League 1 club if he shows he can do the business afterwards. Sibley at 23 ?, turning down a contract to play in the championship at Derby to go to Rotherham in League 1 for a bit better wage, means he must have a dreadful advisor. Career suicide. A two year, or even one year deal allows him to get a foot back in the door at this level.

DCFC1388 Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 (edited) I dont mind if Sibley goes, wouldnt be any more than a squad player in the Champ. He is meant to be on a decent wage so I would think we could get better for a similar outlay. I just hope our offer means we get some compensation....in an ideal world we could do with him going to Peterborough, having a big sell on % and then scoring plenty for them and we get even more when they eventually sell him on Edited May 29 by DCFC1388 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 Also feel like Sibchenko probably doesn’t want to play LWB much more? If he gets a chance as a 10 again, I can see why he’d go for it, even if it’s bloody Rotherham I think he was a huge part of us figuring out three at the back last season, as soon as we had a talented dribbler like him on the left and Kane Wilson on the right we were a different animal RoyMac5 and Steve How Hard? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning we’d end up with a player on a higher wage than PW/SP/DC thought he was worth thus reducing our wage budget available for other players. That could be perceived as even worse business. (Note before anyone pounces [you know who you are], I am not providing any opinion as to what I think Sibley is worth or trying to guess how much he was earning before, we have now offered him or what any other club may have offered him.😀).

Probably just sentimental but would love to see him in a derby shirt again Rumours not suggestions please! Whole suggestion thread for this comment. This thread is for ‘my grans mates with the tea lady or said she saw mbappe being shown around’ for example. 17 hours ago, Ambitious said: He's a good player in the Premier League, extremely doubtful he needs to drop a division and even more doubtful to a team getting promoted from League One. He went on loan to Norwich a few years ago at this level and not only impressed, but was also included in the PFA team of the year. I think if he was to become available a team like Ipswich, Leicester, Wolves, etc would be very interested. I don't think there is any rush on Tottenham's part to let a homegrown talent like him leave either. He hasn't played a lot recently and doesn't fit the profile, but left-sided defender that could play LB or CB. You could say he would more than likely do a job, but I had hoped this type of signing would be left in League One with our transfer restrictions and 'needs must' attitude to getting back to the Championship. Birmingham makes a lot of sense. Perhaps the Dummett link is a way of allowing Bradley to go whilst replacing with someone with prem experience for a season or 2? 16 hours ago, Crewton said: That's just clickbait.

IMO, they often push their client down a certain road as that would be financially better for them rather than the best for the player's future.

Gerry Daly Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 12 hours ago, Ambitious said: I wish Sibley all the best, but surprised it’s Rotherham under Steve Evans. He was such a special, special talent. The best I’ve seen in a Derby shirt at academy level and it will be rough to see him leave because I always thought he’d put it all together, maybe he will away from Derby, I really hope he does anyway. If we have offered him reduced terms, which I imagine we have, then we aren’t due any compensation either. It’s obviously not what I would’ve done in Warne/Clowes’ position. I’d have made sure the contract was signed a long time ago, but nothing I can do about it so I’ll try and not worry and just hope the club know what they’re doing. Was he ever a more special talent than Tom Huddlestone, Will Hughes or Giles Barnes? I don't think so personally. S8TY and sage 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
