Posted February 10, 201114 yr BEN Pringle has signed a new deal with Derby County. The 21-year-old midfielder has been handed an 18-month contract taking him through this season and next, and the club have a further year's option on the player. Pringle has made 15 appearances this season, four of them starts. He is captain of the Reserves and scored in yesterday's totesport.com League Cup win at Walsall. Derby are likely to take up an option on defender Jake Buxton, whose current deal is due to expire this summer. Striker Chris Porter is also out of contract at the end of the season, as is midfielder Robbie Savage, who is to retire from playing. Thirty-four-year-old striker Michael Boulding played as a triallist for the Reserves at Walsall. He scored in the 2-0 victory and played the whole game. Boulding joined Barnsley last summer in a bid to earn a contract but he has now left the Oakwell club.
February 10, 201114 yr I don't think he's ready to become a first team regular but given time this could be a good decision... especially if we can't buy anyone!
February 10, 201114 yr he is absolutely quite shocking - in a bad way bad choice here clough he'll never get into the first team and even when he does he doesn't play that good should of let him go/sold him to reduce the wages further and then spend those wages on a better calibre of player
February 10, 201114 yr well, you need reserves, and he's the captain of them. You can't have first team players in the whole squad, or there'd be some unhappy players.
February 10, 201114 yr you mate........................ he is absolutely quite shocking - in a bad way bad choice here clough he'll never get into the first team and even when he does he doesn't play that good should of let him go/sold him to reduce the wages further and then spend those wages on a better calibre of player are talking garbage....................:mad:

February 10, 201114 yr well, you need reserves, and he's the captain of them. You can't have first team players in the whole squad, or there'd be some unhappy players.I may be old fashioned, but to me reserves are reserves for the first team, Pringle isn`t, and never will be, IMO. So for me its a complete waste of what little cash we have.
February 10, 201114 yr I think he is a decent player, he does well for the reserves so what to say he won't make the first team? I can't see him being a key player but maybe getting a run in the team and offering something. I believe him to be a good league one/standard championship player.
February 10, 201114 yr I know the son of the ex ex Ilkeston Town chairman (not the bad one) He reckons he was offered about £2000 a week at Derby. He's definately worth that. 21 and still learning. He's only been full time for 18 months.

He's only been full time for 18 months. Worth £100,000 a year, what planett are you from Zog. Thats around 400 peoples hard earned season ticket money, for a conference north player, he is NOT good enough and never will be.

Thats around 400 peoples hard earned season ticket money, for a conference north player, he is NOT good enough and never will be. That's his top salary after performance bonuses. What i am saying, is that if he achieves them, then he is definately worth that.
February 10, 201114 yr He's learning still. He's got good stamina, just not worked out too well for him when given a chance. We've let players go from the stiffs, so he must be better than some in there.

February 10, 201114 yr So are you saying if you come from the conference north you not good enough?I am saying thats what he is IMO, mind if Clough keeps downgrading the staff like he has whilst in charge, eventually Pringle may fit in:frown:

Might fit in well next season then, the way things are going....
February 10, 201114 yr Don't forget that on top of his wages from Derby he still has the money from his paper round to factor in to his total earnings.
February 10, 201114 yr Don't forget that on top of his wages from Derby he still has the money from his paper round to factor in to his total earnings. No, don't be silly. His paper round money off sets his Beano and Dandy subscriptions.
February 10, 201114 yr No, don't be silly. His paper round money off sets his Beano and Dandy subscriptions.He is 21, he aint a kid, stop making him out to be, he is 2 years older than Jack Wilshere
