Well done Darren! Will Hughes looks very good in midfield for Derby; worth a bid in the January window?

I don't think I've ever since Will Hughes have a bad game whenever I've watched Derby.



I'm the same- I think he is a great player and I think (others can perhaps confirm) that he is in a contract dispute with Derby and has only a short while left on his current terms. I don't believe that Derby would let him go for less than £15m however unless we can do a potential cash plus player swap (Richards?).

It could push the overall price up to £20m. It really depends how much Derby would want to take Richards.

Buying him would also significantly weaken a promotion rival, which would be further good business.

Does anyone think that he's a bit similar to Grealish though, but just plays deeper?

We have lots of players like him.

We need hard bastards.

Why has Will Hughes never left Derby? Seems like forever people have been talking him up yet he's still a Derby player.

He's still only 21 and was injured last season so unlikely anyone was going to buy him the last couple of transfer windows.

Which is exactly why he will not be sold to us

Derby are in issue with FFP. They may need to cash in to give them wiggle room but I still doubt they'd sell.

Local paper said Hughes was talking to Derby about a new deal.

He's a local lad and I'd imagine would want to get promoted with them, could only see him leaving for a decent prem team.

He's similar in style to Westwood but a fair bit better!

I keep hearing how fantastically brilliant Gueye is at Everton, ive seen him 3 times now and he looks every bit as shit as he did last season, hes just played an awful loose ball that culminated in Hull regaining possesion and scoring.

I think he did actually start the season quite well and got mentioned a few times.

Watching Rangers v Celtic, Rangers have a player, Barry Mckay who looks a real prospect, playing wide left but moving inside or out.

2-1 celtic with a Sinclair far post tap in.
Would have missed it at Villa.

Wouldn't have been in that position here probably ambling around somewhere near the touchline. Dembele was a steal of a buy for Celtic in the summer. I think he'll go this summer for £20m+

I have to admit, I've enjoyed this match.  Passion never in doubt.  This Harry Forester that has just come on, was he once with us?
