Great deal for Derby. My biggest question is, who do the club have lined up to replace him? We can hardly go into a season with just Tekkers, Gabby & Libor. Bit thin for when our inevitable injuries strike.

All the beat,  Andi. I am sure you will score a hatful at Derby. I would ask for a sell on fee as well.

Had to go. No use for him or us to be kicking his heels on a subs bench. Derby fans will love him.

I think he'll score shit loads at that level, but I'm not particularly sorry to see him go.
Good luck Andi.

Wish he would've amounted to more.. think he'll do well in the Championship. Don't forget to cup your ears.

When was the last time we got a decent amount for a surplus to requirements Academy graduate?

I'm almost reluctant to say Cahill, but just in terms of the fee for a relatively inexperienced Academy product it was OK.

The problem was most people could see the potential and then we spent (almost?) the same on Zat Knight.

Sometimes gave the impression that he felt he was an important player for the club which obviously he was not. Have a feeling he may prove to be a good signing for Derby if they play him as a second centre forward to Darren Bent. It is the only position he can play well as far as I can see.

He certainly tried. 24 goals in 126 appearances . He scored some pretty important goals for us but fluffed his lines a lot of the time.
Best of luck to him.

When I say decent amount I mean a couple of million as opposed to 50p or so. We had a good run in the Gardner(C)/Ridgwell/Moore (L) era but since then it's been pennies.

Thanks for the last minute goal against Fulham, and the winner against Man City.
And sorry for the fact that I genuinely believe we've fucked up your career. You were never going to make it out wide.

That second sentence. I concur. The lad showed on occasions that he does have something (various goals mentioned here, and I'd like to throw in the Sunderland one), but we never seemed able to give him a run as a striker in a side that might give him more than one chance a game. Good luck Andi, I reckon you'll do just fine, and thanks for the only real-life slow-motion goal I think I've ever witnessed.

No I'm completely serious. Never a fan I'm afraid and despite his early promise when he broke through just wasn't up to it. He went missing that often I thought he was Lord Lucans twin.  I'll agree he always tried and wish him well but he wasn't good enough in my book.

If you'd written that the first time it would would have been a reasonable opinion.

And his lack of adaptability isn't a valid opinion TV? Ok the shit Dirk Kuyt comment is below the belt but I thought it was a good comparison, lots of effort but ultimately lacked the technical capability to influence the game.

yes that might be fair, but nobody is going to notice the more measured comments and opinions when you have the other stuff in there.

I didn't realise everyone's opinions had to be measured, surely a few choice epithets in his redirection are called for if nothing else for that fucking #woop tweet.
