dcfcdavecov Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 That's Bywater definetly, definetly, definetly gone then.

ramexpat Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Think it was pretty clear Porter was a gonner ,, would really like to see Ayala back out of the loan list ,, also keeping hold of our young keepers is a good move although i think thats a sign Bywater can leave , hopefully Deeney can have the no.2 keeper spot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Deeney is possibly the worst back up ever, when ever he is close the getting a game he gets "injured". Waste of a wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkRam Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I wouldst hope they aren't taking their eyes off Ayala and Bueno completely as they could still prove to be useful additions. Especially Bueno if our football improves as I think we all no he would be a better player if he had better players around him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilko Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Deeney is possibly the worst back up ever, when ever he is close the getting had game he gets "injured". Waste of a wage.

NorfolkRam Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Deeney is possibly the worst back up ever, when ever he is close the getting had game he gets "injured". Waste of a wage. Agreed and there had never seemed much confidence from clough and his staff in letting him take the starting spot. I'd be much happier with Duke coming in on a free, with a low wage mind, and then being shot of Deeney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIMBAUD Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 duke would not necessarily be on a low wage - and would probably not be content to be back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Deeney is not excatly young either at 28. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramesses Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I wouldst hope they aren't taking their eyes off Ayala and Bueno completely as they could still prove to be useful additions. Especially Bueno if our football improves as I think we all no he would be a better player if he had better players around him. Agree with that. But if we could only have one back on loan I'd go for Ayala. There have been one or two face/palm moments; but I think it'll be difficult to find another defender anywhere near as good.

Sir Me Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 Cywka isn't leaving. First proof is that Clough and Glick include him in the players of the future, including him with Brayford, Bailey, Fielding, Ward etc. Secondly from speaking to him first hand, he talks about wanting to improve his game over the next and final 12 months of his contract. After that he'd love to stay as this he feels very much at home at Derby under Clough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkRam Posted May 11, 2011 Share Posted May 11, 2011 I think its fair to say since cloughs comments a mixture of a short spell on the bench and a couple of niggling injuries have made it seem alot worse than what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not completely forgotten though eh? I always thought that although it's not the normal way managers speak, there is no evidence to suggest it was the wrong way. NVM. In the past and Cywka will be a top player if he's given games. He was brilliant in our good patch. Only slightly less brilliant than Commons, Bueno and Green. What a combo those were when in form.
