who is the best striker? derbs or bennis awsome replacement?

[Tom]

I couldn't say Abbey I think it's too close to call

[Pinch]

Is benni's 'awesome replacement' Roberts? Well...for what it's worth, I don't think Roberts would even cut it in Greece.

When is the last time you made a post that wasn't in that childlike sarcastic tone?

[AndyC]

11th in the table.

playing football very much like hughes. except for not quite as many fouls as under hughes

[Stevo]

His second goal was very nice in the game showed from the link!

[ABBEY]

When is the last time you made a post that wasn't in that childlike sarcastic tone?

As opposed to the above? Simple question I asked..not sarky at all.

[S15]

Well of course it was sarcastic as McCarthy hasn't been replaced, so why ask the question?

If Kalinic or Di Santo is Derbyshire's replacement, then either of them are better than him.

[ABBEY]

Oh so zzzzam was lying when he said benni wouldn't be sold UNTIL HIS REPLACEMENT WAS IN PLACE?

[S15]

No it's just your fat mate was such a c**t that he left us in a completely untenable position by going on strike and making it clear he wasn't to play for us again. Basically forcing us into selling him and screwing us over in the process, something you still blame the manager for.

Luckily Allardyce has done a good job by leading us to 11th and well clear of relegation meaning we can save our money and use it wisely in the summer rather than waste it on a panic buy now.

It's called good management.

Good call shillito. Big Sam is a real manager, he's not just here for the team selection and tactics like the European coaches, he's here for the well being of the club and to stabilise the club both on and off the pitch.

The manager can not be blamed for selling any of the players he has sold, each and every one of them wanted to leave, Sam simply got as much as he could for them. With regards to Big Mac, getting £2m for him is very, very good business.

He seems to have settled in quite nicely when you watch the clip further up the page. Good luck to the lad, he'd have struggled for us this season and with a bit of luck we could re-sign him in a couple of seasons a bigger and better player.

VERY well said.

Can anybody shed light on what would happen in terms of fee IF we were to buy him back at some point? What happens to the %age of sell-on fee if he just came back to us?

It would just be null and void, surely. So if we have a sell-on of 10% and they value him at £3m we just pay £2.7m.

Everyone in Astoria loves Matty, I happen to live in the biggest Greek neighborhood in NYC, and since everyone is an Olympiakos Supporter out here the conversation always turns towards Derbyshire. They rave about his performance in the Greek Cup Final last year.

Its funny that I have the same affection towards Derbyshire that I have towards many of the "Yanks Abroad" (Americans Playing in Europe) When I see Matty score its very much the same excitement that I get when Dempsey or Donavon score (against anyone but Rovers).

[McClarky]

He has been injured just about all season but has recently come back and has scored a few goals.

[Lee0r]

A good article in the Independant concerning Derbyshire.

[only2garners]

A good article in the Independant concerning Derbyshire.

I saw that and would agree it's an excellent article. According to the acrticle Derbyshire will become only the fifth English striker to play in this year's Champions League tonight.
