Silvio Dante Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 That’s actually a really sensible deal. We want the player and the risk is that if Derby go up he decides to stay there Derby want promotion above all else so wouldn’t want to let the player go We’d have to pay compensation in the summer. So, what we do is offer Derby a bit more than the likely compensation figure in the summer to take out the possibility of the deal being off and allow him to stay. Removes our risk of the deal being off in the summer and lets them achieve their aim of keeping him for a promotion push. The alternate would have been a silly offer for him to come here now into a team that’s not going up or down. I think it’s a decently constructed deal on the whole. Long term view taken and allows securing of a summer target. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshtonRobin21 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 It’s good business. We get a very talented player that will improve us. He would have required compensation in the summer anyway.

hinsleburg Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Weird one but could be smart depending on the fee...

Kibs Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 (edited) I can actually understand it from our perspective (a number of key potentially high earning midfielders OOC in the summer), and from Derbys perspective too.

A tribunal would set a fee and we could lose out to another club. If he was a big summer target and we've got it done in Feb, smart business TBH. I agree that the scenario that could play out, where he gets Derby promoted into the league of the club he is about to join, and he still then departs his childhood club, would be odd and almost unprecedented. But then, maybe he wants to try something new and we are offering better contractual terms. If I was a Derby fan, or if a player did that to us - I would be very bemused. However, for us, a great signing. Edited February 1 by Sandhurst Red 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got a deal agreed with a club at the next level when he could easily get injured/form off cliff and value (wage wise) fall down. I think people need to view this as if we’d signed a pre contract for a (say) Ligue 1 midfielder. To all intents and purposes it’s the same kind of deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing us play well against West Ham. Not miles off playoffs now and he’d expect to make us better and he will play with James and King going. Probably Williams too I would think. After his injuries here he may just want to take his chances closes to home imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexukhc Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 I think if we buy and loan back, it’s about finishing the season now with what we got and already building for next year, higher up know already we ain’t going up, long way to go but it’s a long road to finish above where we are. Had we won at Coventry I could see something else, but we threw it away, that’s football, 1 point over 3 can change everything.

TheJudge07 Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Not sure about this signing tbh. Is he actually better than James or Williams. Looking at the Derby site, they were saying early January he was overrated. In fact, I quote, "...doesnt control the game from deep, not a very good tackler, not really a box to box midfielder and doesnt score that many"..... Looking at his record, cannot see what he is going to add. Maybe someone can access his individual stats. We really need players now and they need to improve what we have. Sorry, underwhelming for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldyman Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 So our window consists of permanently signing a player who was already here . Loaning in a player who is then injured until further notice . Signing two teenagers and loaning one straight back and signing a midfielder from Derby and loaning him straight back ! We’ve signed five players and only one is presently in the squad and even he gets suspended from next week !! Cushty 8 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derby a Category One Academy too, all helps. The best way to look at it is, we’ve identified Max Bird to be Matty James’ successor, succession planning is good and something that should be praised. Derby were happy to risk waiting for the summer when they would have received a decent compensation package. We wouldn’t have been able to get the deal without the loan back being included so rather than risk losing someone that we clearly rate to a rival in the summer we’ve done a deal that suits both us and Derby. Had MB gone elsewhere in the summer, we could have ended up having to fork out more trying to get someone else to replace MJ.
