Redshaw_Ram Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Quote from a friend who is an Aberdeen fan: [sIZE=12px]"Thinks he is better than he is, but he is a good player and now a full international. I don't want you guys to get him tbh, would like him to stay with us for a season or two then sell him for £1M+. Not sure what sort of standard Derby play at but he is a good striker who can also play out wide."[/sIZE] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky Tree Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Its always a gamble when you sign a player from scotland mainly because the champs is actually a more competitive league than the spl. Look at the scots who boro signed; i would have put money on boyd being a success at boro but it didnt work out for him, the same could be said for porter. Only time will tell whether he will be a good purchase and whether he can settle in but he certainly deserves to be judged on what he does for derby as to what he did in scotland. Personally i think he will struggle but im a forest fan........................ what do i know about football, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davenportram Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 2 words...... "Ash Cloud" At the time of writing it was only effecting Northern Scotland, expected to effect Newcastl, Durham, Carlisle and Londenderry. Airports are still open and flights are still happening. The big effect of the cloud is not where it is but how high it is and the concentration of particles. At lower levels and the further from the volcano the particle concentration changes and flights can still take place. Besides Ash Clouds don't effect Ferried.

p.shilton Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 sounds like Scotland are being difficult and want to take the lads mind of the transfer, fair enough. Even if the medical staff went over there they would not be allowed access to him so no point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenportram Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 True. Bit if the lad wants to come he will be sat wondering what is going to happen. It would make more sense IMO to give him a day to get the medical sorted and at least that would be out of his head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose so but he would hen miss training or "bonding" with the national side so if he under performs they'll blame it on that. Even if he completed the medical and rejoined the national squad the fee hasn't even been agreed yet and they would need to speak personal terms too- he would miss the entire scotland trip and maybe damage his future chances or return after the medical and still not know if the deal will happen. I reckon we'd better just wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 You would think if he plays that he would be playing with reservations about getting injured, but I cant blame the manager not letting him toddle off from training to do a medical when it could easily be done after!

Ambitious Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Look at the strikers he has picked over to make the Scotland squad, Boyd, O'Connor, Fletcher, Mackie and not to mention his attacking mid competition in Chris Burke, Lee McCulloch, Robert Snodgrass...etc He sounds to be impressing, like I said.. if he has ability he will be fine, he could even be one to surprise us this year!
