Matt Derbyshire

Matt Derbyshire going to the Millers....

 

[Torrix1889]

And......?

 

[sitwell]

Windy Miller going to Derbyshire would be more interesting.

 

[gavtheblade]

So what.

 

[itsinyerblood]

Not a rumour, 'tis a fact

 

[JohnDenver]

Apparently they beat us to his signature (Sheffield Telegraph). This bit makes me think we dodged a bullet:

Remarkably, for a player aged 28, Derbyshire has made just 76 starting appearances throughout his entire career.

Not sure we were even interested, a lot better options out there

 

[Reedy1889]

Decent signing but as above plenty more options of similar/better ability out there for us

 

[Kev Gee]

I rated him at Blackburn.

Could be a decent signing for them.

He always struck me as decent, but then I read that stat too and was amazed! Need to check but is that his entire career, including in Greece?

 

[bladesman3]

Better options?

 

[MobileBlade]

Think the interesting stat is that he is 28 years old and made a total of 101 starts in his whole career. Maguire has made 168 starts.

 

[frechyblade]

Heard that he may be joining us after all!!

UTB

I would hope not. I remember this kid breaking onto the scene and looking a right prospect. Didn't he disappear abroad for a while ?. Has come back and looks a pale shadow of the player he was. Everytime I see highlights of him for Rotherham, always seems to be missing a scoring chance.

Went to Olympiacos for a bit. Scored two goals in the Greek cup final. Been on a downward trajectory since though. Olympiacos, Birmingham (when they were still PL), Forest, Millers. Maybe he's about to drop again. Hasn't scored in his last 25 games, not exactly thrilling stats.

 

[Bladesway]

Always flattered to deceive in my book. No pedigree and always had unfulfilled potential. Perhaps the sort of player we would have paid a million quid for 5 years ago!!

This stat isn't actually true according to Soccerbase.
He scored for Forest in the last game of last season (actually scored 5 in the last 5 games).
Then he's gone 13 league games without scoring but only started 7 of them. Scored one in the League Cup as a sub.
Definitely not "thrilling" stats but not quite as bad as none in 25 games

That's what I get for doing my research on Wikipedia.

 

[Blade56]

Does he count as one of our inevitable missed targets at the end of JTW?

And 2 million this January

 

[Hodgyman]

I have a few mates that are Millers fans. Non of them rate him now, he misses too many good chances

 

[Kev Gee]

What about a swap deal for Porter?

 

[Kenilworth]

What about a swap deal for Porter?

Quite - since Revell is Cardiff bound
