CumbrianRam Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Derby County manager Nigel Clough is open to offers for Dean Leacock and Stephen Pearson as he tries to finance a deal for Leicester striker Martyn Waghorn. Leicester will use the £3m fee to improve their offer for Bristol City's Nicky Maynard, returning for a fourth time with a fee that will rise to £6.5m including add-ons. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/footba ... ds-newsxml Link to comment https://dcfcfans.uk/topic/7334-pearson-and-leacock-free-to-leave-waghorn-back-on/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 I think it has been commons knowledge that Pearson, Leacock and Bywater amongst others are free to leave, although I didn't think Pearson was being pushed as hard as the latter two.

Alex W Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 £3m fee? Bit much.......£1.75m plus £500k in add-ons would seem fair, but no more than that. Having said that, the market is so inflated at the moment, £3m doesn't seem that unreasonable. Which is a crazy thought for the future, if prices continue to go up.

deserter85 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What?! Waghorn will cost us 3 million pounds??!! I'm not spending 3 million on Leicester's reserve!

I don't see us even considering touching that sort of valuation and if we did I think I would be disappointed, obviously a centre midfielder is needed more IMO and where would we just pull 3million out our rear ends from? I know we are more than likely waiting on the 3 mentioned to leave because of wages but I still doubt it would allow us to spend 3million on someone as disproven as he is, 1.5million would be my absolute maximum and that is due to his potential.

I think they bought him for more than that initially anyway, they'll be trying to re-coup as much as they can.

He cost them more than double that when he first signed, he's a very talented player. Definitely worth around £2m, though i'd be looking at paying just under it and throwing in some promotion based add-ons.

I think they were both left out due to impending transfers, they wouldn't want them injured would they!

Aye, but considering that he hasn't proven anything and we go out and spend 3million on him then Clough is putting his head on the line for someone who may not even cut it. and the fact you could probably have your pick of championship centre midfielders with that sort of dough which is a much more needed area then I would be disappointed, if we had 3million then I would seriously look at Karacan, Cohen, Howson..etc a top centre midfielder in this division, would be much better use.

Duracell Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 What?! Waghorn will cost us 3 million pounds??!! I'm not spending 3 million on Leicester's reserve! Do you think Blackburn where complaining when they got Roque Santa Cruz back? He was in the Man City reserves.... Saying he's a "Leicester reserve" is harsh - Leicester are spending literally tens of millions on their team and there are some incredibly talented players sitting around doing nothing.

deserter85 Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 Actually, do we REALLY need another striker? I wouldn't mind if it's someone really top class, but we've already got 2 strikers on the subs bench for every game + Tyson injured + Callum Ball in the reserves.

He scored 12 goals in 28 starts the season before last, he'll cut it just fine. Do we really need a centre mid in comparison with a striker? I wouldn't say either space is more important than the other at the moment. Odds are that as soon as Addison comes back he'll be there anyway. I say get him while you can, young talent at Derby is always welcome, especially when they're as promising as Waghorn. Might not get another oppurtunity like this for a little while.

I wouldn't mind it if it is something much more realistic like 1 million max. But 3 million! For someone who's not exactly prolific! And unable to get into their first team!

I'd be suprised if we got £750k for the both of them, but then again we reportedly bid around £1.25m previously so just get a decent bit in for them and then stick add-on clauses to spruce up the fee a little.
