Hamza Choudhury

I thought we'd never be rid but if Derby put in a decent offer he has to go. The fewer players here from our most rancid seasons the better.

 

What we absolutely have to do is use the money to buy an upwardly mobile, physical DM. 

Anything over a £1.

 

Seriously what would you consider a decent offer?

£500k and over, we are extremely short in midfield literally and figuratively. We could sell all of our want away players for £1 but we need bodies in the door and we need some funds to do that with.

 

We're also running out of time, we need to bring in X amount of players, I'd rather go into this season with Choudhury than no DM at all and £250k in the bank. We're at risk of having a completely threadbare squad, this is why selling Cartwright was a bit silly, he was the only other physical option centrally. We didn't necessarily have to keep him, just move on once we've signed better.

 

We may actually go into this season with our central midfield options looking like:

 

Braybrooke

Page

Skipp

(Maybe one or two signings).

 

We'd be Braybrooke injury away from being proper relegation candidates

Not his biggest fan but at least he doesn’t hide on the pitch. Unless we can bring others in he simply has to be ahead of Skipp in the team sheet. 

Literally one of the main issues with him is that he's a cm that hides from the ball.

Exactly, we would be pulling their pants down, with any type of figure,  just getting his 50k wages off the books is a massive win. 

We will probably balls it up though haggling for an unrealistic fee and be stuck with him, and is wages

Exactly. The odd frantic run or tackle doesn't mean he doesn't hide. 

 

He hides by not taking responsibility when in possession. Whatever the circumstances, he plays a safe 2 yard pass at best. Not hiding would be to drive with the ball and actually look interested in creating something, or helping to get the more creative players involved.

 

He's a nob and he knows he can get away with it and has got away with it for longer than he should, or would have been allowed at any other club in the country. 

 

*Would still play over Skipp.

I'd like a 1m to reinvest.

 

Think we could get a decent DM for that.

I worry is that kp will take any proceeds out as loan repayments... in advance if admin

Don't really want to lose my drinking buddy. Not travelling to Derby for a night out.

He's played under Puel, Rodgers, Smith, Enzo, Cooper, RVN, Marti, Rowett and Martin and never had a run in the side.

 

Why do you think not one of those have given him a run in the side?

 

 

Because at the time we had better players, not today.

[Paninistickers]

Well, I kinda like him. He'll be a net loss and more upsettingly, a net gain for a woeful Derby County that's just settling into its long term life as a Huddersfield or Preston type club..

 

Yea, he had his COVID party, but so did Wes. You can't reproach Hamza and eulogise Wes. 

 

As for drink drinking, hmm, same goes for Wes too. Weren't too many complaints about that. 

 

As in aside, the brief interaction I once had with him (when he stood for a pic with one of my kids) he seemed a polite, socially assured fella.

You can’t be serious 😂🤦‍♂️

[Winstonthedog]

It's an embarrassing to ask any money for him ... a couple of garden centre vouchers should cover it

This is unashamed wumming surely ?

[Blue-fox]

He’s currently our best DM. You’d like to think we can get 3-4 million. Which should get us some cash to sign a replacement. 
 

For what it’s worth I’d rather we get rid of Skipp who is on similair wages.

Is he fvck. He’s absolutely terrible and utterly washed as a footballer here. He’s absolutely gone and we need shot of him.

 He's awful. Almost 29 with a year left on the contract, having never been able to nail down a starting position in his career and you think we should be getting £4m?!
