Derby Players (2 Viewers)

[SkyBlueSam01]

Could someone explain to me why so many of Derby's players are supposedly highly sought after by higher clubs?

Id get it if they had 1 or 2 stars who didnt deserve to be relegated but weren't they fairly poor as a team last year?

They would've stayed up comfortably were it not for their points deduction?

Their academy has also been Cat One for years hence why they have so much talent coming through.

Mostly young and going into U23 set ups. Same as when clubs paid for Thomas, Stevenson and Harries when we were relegated into League 2.

They're cheap

Would have been 9 points behind us without points deduction.

Picking the bones from relegated teams worked for Liverpool (Robertson, Wijnaldum) and as someone pointed out, they'd have finished not that far behind us if it weren't for the points deduction.

Appreciate there's a slight(!) difference in the fees paid in my example but feel like the point stands up. Good players stand out in poor teams. Add data analysis in to the mix, don't see the issue.

They had no money and very few players and so were forced to blood some kids.
Those that did well want to stay in the championship, and Derby need the cash.
It ain't rocket science.

Was at their Acadamy April time they have some excellent prospects coming through.
Rooney was there watching.

He was there just in case their grandparents had brought them

He was there just in case their grandparents had brought them

He was apparently a regular at various of their Acadamy games

First rule of relegated club. See if you can cherry pick their best players.

I thought this was gonna be about them being linked with just us, considering we’ve already been linked with: Plange, Buchanan, Sibley and Bird. I wonder who’s next James Collins?
