Released by Derby today. Great first signing for TM and captain potential for next year. The beginning of the spine of the team?

deanocity3 · May 12, 2015

good shout I'll just ring him up and ask him

Kilclines curly mullet · May 12, 2015

Would be a decent signing but doesn't mowbray need to sign something first ?

Terry Gibson's perm · May 12, 2015

I wonder if they could get him to manage the under 21's as well so we could save the money we are wasting on Hockaday and it gives him his first steps in to management if that's a route he wants to take.

covboy9 · May 12, 2015

too old now

skybluebeduff · May 12, 2015

Eustace only played for Derby 13 times last season, managing 1059 minutes in that time, and they certainly benefited from his influence. Derby only lost one game in which Eustace appeared in, that being a 2-1 loss to Wigan in which Eustace scored. Of his 13 games derby won eight, His defensive work is evident when you consider that Derby only conceded once in Eustace’s last eight games, winning six of those games.

Well I'm sold, sign him up!

Can I ask you why you think we're wasting money on Hockaday?

Skyblueweeman · May 12, 2015

Nope......

Hobo · May 12, 2015

He might be a good addition and wouldn't eat up much of the budget.

Deleted member 5849 · May 12, 2015

Isn't he about 93 now?

The under 21's is a bit of a whatever is left group I don't think it is a full time job, as a club money should be invested on the pitch, if not a senior player get an Oggy type to run it.

matesx · May 12, 2015

he's 35 but a wealth of experience

400 league games (50 or so in PL)

surround him with younger energetic players and he could be a general

stupot07 · May 12, 2015

I'd be tempted. Think we should limited it to 2 old heads in the squad, but he's the sort of old head we should be bringing in, vastly experienced.

Was a starter early in the season for Derby, but he got injured and has since had 2 knee operations. On the one hand he could definitely perform in League 1, but on the other the probability of him getting injured is high, especially at 35.

cloughie · May 12, 2015

Can we just leave it to Mowbray who we should he sign, as let's face it if fans picked the team signings

well ...........we would all have egg on our faces at one time or another

matesx · May 12, 2015

pay as you play deal

You fun sponge, It's a welcomed distraction from the bickering about the Ricoh, wasps, etc

Perhaps Nick should close the site down until August....

Colin Doyle released by Birmingham.

When you look there are a lot of players being released and most of them are in for a real shock when it comes to getting new clubs and their new salaries, players like Roger Johnson may have to take a small cut in his 30k+ per week wage

.

Bill Glazier · May 12, 2015

I genuinely thought he was about 30 when he played for us

skybluedan · May 12, 2015

Would love to have a fit playing Week in week out John eustace but with his injuries and what not be a gamble , don't no what his wages would be but shame really be a good captain as well, as someone said pay as you go

Even though he came through the youth?!

Did he? He was so slow

Yeah well he's a lot faster these days.

stevefloyd · May 13, 2015

Ahh because the 1st 2 yards are in your head... i had the first 50 yards in my head but my body wouldnt reciprocate

Skybluenutterman · May 13, 2015

I'm living in the Derby area now and apparently he's openly said he would like to finish his career at Coventry?

Only played 13 times last season and bad recent record of injuries ?

It would be great if he and Reda could synchronise their games missed over injury, then we would have cover for most of the season (maybe). But it doesn`t quite work that way does it :thinking about:

mrtrench · May 13, 2015

I seem to recall he had knee issues when he played for us, so not really a surprise that he still does. Or am I imagining it?

Yep having a look he didn't play since Jan. it seems he was more bit part player as was an unused sub 11 times. But you're right we can't afford to sign people to sit on the treatment table.

CovLis86 · May 13, 2015

Probably just had the year which makes his body passed it sadly. But a cclever role to have him come in as a coach available to play when fit would be perfect.

Nick · May 13, 2015

Didn't carsley do that last time?

There are loads of people who have finished their careers at Coventry to be fair.

Mowbray's probably not basing his transfer targets on threads created here so I think we're ok.

jimmyhillsfanclub · May 13, 2015

No thanks.....way to old & crocked....

...besides, I've still haven't forgiven him being one of the chief bottlers that costs Roland his job....

torchomatic · May 13, 2015

Ah, memories. Remember when he was called John Useless?
