Can't take credit for this stats analysis, this is from TR_ANALYTICS on Twitter but my general assessment is very good player with an incredibly high ceiling at still just 21 years old.
Bit of a different profile to Hamer & you'd be right in your assessment about him being less progressive but I think that could come in time. He's more of a ball carrier than Hamer though.

I like this little assessment, think it sums Bird up pretty well.
Either way, can't see him being allowed to leave Derby on the cheap given his enormous potential so think it's probably a non-starter.
