Anya must be either keeping his head down, or he is in someone's plans........

Guy has gone now. Loan to become permanent.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Flabbergasted !

Forgot all about him. As invisible off the field as he is on it.

Hate the loan market really. It just highlights the amount of players are on the books and not getting a game.
It’s where all the English players are as the foreign legion have all the first team places.
The likes of Mount, Wilson et all should lower their expectations and make permanent moves to lower prem or championship clubs and therefore commit themselves. Many of these players will never play for their parent clubs so why be a journeyman at 18 when you could settle somewhere and go on from there?

Butterfield?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Picker and sorter needed at Raynesway sewerage works, is he available?

Because they are not that smart, Rameses. They all think that they are going to get experience and that they will eventually end up plying for their parent club. The parent club is sending them out purely to gradually increase their value so that by the time they are sold they make a decent profit. The player will fetch more in a couple of years when they have shown what they can do than they will now. Players like Ake, Chalobah, Bamford etc end up being sold for a few million and it turns a decent profit. Of course Chelsea don't tell the player that this is the deal, they tell them that it is part of their development.

As it was with me. The brightest young thing at Salmon Academy. Luckily I had good advice and settled for something more attainable. And I have never looked back

Vidal, the epitome of diplomacy.

He means they are thick Rameses and I agree

You have to accept players who show early promise aren't all going to make it. The big clubs play a % game, the wheat makes it, try to recoup a bit on the chaff, but remember Paul Pogba was once chaff at Old Trafford.

You may know it better as Top Fish. Grilse Town, Isle of Lewis. Where we train the best of the best

How many actually make it as a percentage of those developed by the big clubs.
I’ll bet it less than 1%.
We are as guilty, or the players who play for us are.
Playing under 23 for us or going out on loan is more lucrative that moving permanently to a lower league club.
We can still get our money back with stiffer sell on clauses. So these players should be encouraged to move on in my opinion.

In other news DCCC following-on at home to Kent, having fallen 11 runs short of the 411 required and now 57-1.

I'm still smarting from being thrashed at Lords when Eddy Barlow was captain. It ruined a good day out!

It always has been low Rameses but with the whole of the world to choose from I suspect the % has fallen significantly. I expect everyone knows a few people who were on the books of a football club in their teens.

Is Butterfield injured or just way-off Frank's radar?

He's not even warmed the bench all this season.

Tammy Abraham confirmed on loan to Villa. His third season away from Chelsea following Bristol City and Swansea.
What’s the point of him being at Chelsea? Do you think he prefers the kudos of being able to say he’s a Chelsea player. If ever a player needs to commit himself for the sake of his career and England prospects it’s him.

He did play a preseason game and came on against Southampton near the end.
So who knows. Perhaps backup for Bryson. Probably a better player than Ledley, if we take our hate goggles off Scouse.

Lowe, Gordon, Guy, Elsnik are on at least their 2nd liana away from Derby with probably more to come so in your theory what’s the point of them being at Derby

Exactly Griff

Tbf Rameses I don’t think any of the young lads being sent out on loan again have a future at Derby.

Harry Kane was loaned out to four clubs before he got into the Spurs team. You can’t generalise.

Guy has agreed a permanent deal with Blackpool come Jan 2018.
Scott Malone should be Derbys left back for the next 4 or 5 years. Where does that leave Lowe?

Needing to find first team football elsewhere Griff. He should forget about Derby, make his mark at Aberdeen and make his move permanent in January.
There’s always exceptions Vidao.

I see Lewis Walker has left
