Would be delighted with this hope we can pull it off

[BorneoRam]

Bullshit. I did not say we have the same chance of being in the premier league as celtic. All i said is we can't offer EPL football TO RUSSELL. Neither do Celtic.

The quote you used was celtic can never offer pl football, key word there einstein is "never". You said, underneath the quote, neither do Derby, you directly compared our ability to make the pl and celtics, it is right there and still you deny it.

RT @JamesNursey: Hearing Portuguese forward Amido Baldé set for Celtic on 4 year deal. Should pave way for Gary Hooper to be sold. #ncfc

Yes!!

F*ck off Celtic.

I'd have to say that Derby County ought to be a very attractive proposition for a striker who can score goals, but has to prove himself in England. With the amount of sitters that our strikers missed last season, you would expect that anyone with a decent finish could expect 25+. And Hughes and Hendrick are both another year more experienced. 

 

I have a good feeling about this transfer, and next season if we get Russell, Forsyth and a decent partner for Keogh, and keep Brayford, Hughes and Hendrick...and don't try to accommodate Bryson in a silly unbalanced formation.

 

Thats a lot of ifs though... what would you do about having 3 CMs in Hughes hendrick and Bryson?

[Day]

I will run around town naked if we sign this lad.

 

I want a YouTube video if he signs, just blur out your willy and it won't get taken down. Thanking you.

I don't want us to sign him anymore..

Can we have Vaughan instead please Nigel?

[Boycie]

Maybe we can have both?

[Srg]

Owen Bradley (BBC Radio Derby) says there's been no offer or bid accepted. 

 

Owen Bradley can f*ck off p*ssing all over our chips.

I'd start with Hendrick and Hughes playing and Bryson on the bench. If either tire, or we're getting over-run, then Bryson is a brilliant option on the bench.

 

Then, as the season progresses soon as either of the youngsters struggles in terms of injury, fatigue, discipline or form then I'd bring Bryson in. Assuming we play fifty games (we can't lose every League Cup surely?) I'd envisage Hendrick starting 40, Hughes 35 and Bryson 25. That way I'd say that we'd have the strongest centre-midfield in the league for the entire season.

 

I also think that Sammon's energy could be very valuable when coming of the bench with 20 minutes to go. Can you imagine how a tired team would react if they saw a fresh Bryson and Sammon coming on?

Got to disagree with that i'm afraid.

At this moment in time i'd have to go with Bryson for the majority over Hughes.

You completely forgot about Russell again. The key word is can we offer PL football to "him"? I do not think so.  

[Smyth_18]

Wow. Some people will argue over anything.

[VulcanRam]

 

 

 

I'd like to accommodate all three if possible, but not in a four man midfield where one is stuck out wide and ineffective.

 

Also, since when does Nigel make game-changing subs with 20 mins to go?

[Ramble On]

Unless he turns out to be a blinder then you would of thought even if we got promoted he would be a bench back up player (we hope! )

[BOB BIGGS]

Russell Grant,  the future is looking bright..

COYR!!!!!!!!

Well, he should know

 

[sorry I amended your post to suit my childish humour]. Good post by the way.

[inter politics]

I wonder if Derby want to keep it quiet so they don't get any last minute interference from other clubs whilst finalising wages with Russell.

[cheron85]

I can understand short-term negativity... but the lad's 23... so are you honestly saying that you don't beleive we're going to get promoted in the next, say, 10 years?

 

If so... why are you a Derby fan?

[Boycie]

Actually Ralph, Owen Bradley understood that a deal may be agreed today.

I was listening eating me cob in a country lay by.

[BorneoRam]

Right, you know for sure that we will not be promoted in the next 4 years? And you are a Derby fan?

Quick question

So is the key word “him“? That is the first time it has been used.

Or do you mean the key word is Russell, after all you did use a very big font, but that makes no sense.

I think you are actually trying to say that the key word is that we cannot offer Russell pl football, now that is quite a bit more than a word but you do not appear to be the sharpest tool in the shed so let's go with that.

So your point is that we are not in the premier league? But the guy you quoted, and tried to ridicule, knew that and was simply saying that if he was to come and sign for 3-4 years which is the normal contract length then he had the chance to make it, if he went to celtic he did not.

It was quite straightforward, but you raised issue with it and directly compared our ability to make the prem with Celtics. It is there in black and white, read it again, the thing you quoted was that celtic do not offer the possibility of playing in the pl at any time, you said neither do derby. The original poster was clearly not talking about next season but future seasons so I can only assume you were doing the same.
