HanoiVillan Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 They're a large part of who I'm thinking of. In the end, it doesn't matter who wanted them - they're at the club, they cost a lot of money, they're not even making match day squads. Of course the board are going to be unhappy about that.

If the board wanted the players and the manager didn't play them, then the manager got the sack in part for not playing the players, and, in the board's eyes, getting worse results than he could have done if he did play them. If the manager wanted the players, then the manager got sacked for not playing players he demanded they spend lots of money on and not getting results. The manager got sacked regardless.

A good fit for Derby and they have a lot more potential than SHA. Even allowing for my dislike of sha, Derby are a much bigger club than sha will ever be. Throw in all the of field troubles, and I have to agree, Rowett would be bat sh*t crazy not to listen to an offer from Derby. That said, it takes a special kind of crazy to want to go to blues in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Derby spent about 30m I believe this summer. They already had an excellent central midfield with Will Hughes (although he got a long term injury), Jeff Hendrick, Bryson and George Thorne so they added Bradley Johnson for 6m and Butterfield was about 10m aswell. Again in attack they had Chris Martin, Johnny Russell so they add Tom Ince, Bent and Weimann for a decent amount. What I don't understand is why in January they signed even more strikers, Blackman came in from Reading for 3m and got a French guy in called Camara. Any defence that has Carson and Warnock in is always going to struggle to keep clean sheets so don't understand why they don't get in a good CB. That and I think they lack bottle, all the way back to when they froze when QPR went down to 10 men in the play off final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanoiVillan Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 They spent a lot on Shackell in central defence as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer to that was contained within the previous sentence. 13 hours ago, VillaChris said: they add Tom Ince, Bent and Weimann for a decent amount. One is lost up his own arse, one is over the hill, and the other simply isn't good enough. Very poor recruitment IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 To be fair, you don't really get "over the hill" when all you do is poach the 6 yard box. Wiemann should be tearing it up down there too, he's not a bad player by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he would have have done well there but he hasnt. I think for us to get 2m for him was very good business on our part. Would not be suprised if he try re-sign him when we go down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
