Bye Bye Bailey?

http://www.thisisderbyshire.co.uk/Draw-underlined-need-attack-says-boss/story-15959267-detail/story.html

Reading between the lines, Im now convinced that we'll be looking to cash in on Bailey.

Thoughts?

We all thought that Moxey was good too. He's not made a great impact at Palace - playing around 50% of the games this season. I understand he's had a few injuries though, so perhaps next year he will realise his potential.

Perhaps not.

There are lots of players who have left Derby since Clough arrived, and I can't off hand think of any who have covered themselves with glory after leaving, including those who many of us thought it might be a mistake to sell.

Which means either Clough is a good judge of a player, or he gets the best out of players. I suppose a third possibility, which might be preferable to some, is that he treats them so badly that their spirit is irretrievably broken, and their footballing mojo never returns.

as much as that idea amuses me Vidal, it shouldnt happen. Once a player moves on from unhappiness, he should be able to start afresh and forget about the manager who broke him. See Jamie Ward under Micky Adams for example.

Everyone's quoting my stuff, innit. I'm going to start asking for royalties soon.

Because it was a simple yet brilliant observation.

Even Mostyn couldn't muster up an argument, such as Commons winning titles at Celtic and scoring a beautiful goal last weekend... his FIRST of the season by the way

I didn't. I thought he was crap and said so many times.

True, you did, Iwas.

I'd be interested to know who you rate as crap in the current squad before I jump to any conclusions though.
