As it was said on the main site by Nigel, Giles Barnes is set to make a loan switch to a “unknown” premier league side, it was later revealed by a source that the side is non-other than fulham. Giles fantastic display against manchester united at old trafford coming from the bench and scoring twice has won him several attention from premier league clubs,but it’s Roy Hogson’s who make the first move.

Giles has never hidden his ambition to play in the premier league, he is one of the best players at the club this moment and it will be sad to lose him since he will add quality to the side but thats how it goes in the championship, soon as you have a good player bigger clubs come swooping not that fulham a bigger club than us but you get what I mean.

Nigel said:

“Giles has made it clear he wants to play in the Premier League again and this is a great opportunity for him to do that.

“It’s something that came up yesterday and I am comfortable to give the player the chance to speak to them.

“To be honest it is a very good deal for all parties involved and I wouldn’t have agreed to it if I didn’t believe it was in the best interests of Derby County.

“Giles is a terrific lad with a big future ahead of him and we all wish him well if the deal goes ahead.”

How it’s a good for us only he will know since quite honestly in my own humble opinion Giles will look to make the deal permanent. -sigh-

He also spoke about bringing in a new striker to the squad a late late buy to be honest but with a goal drought such as ours we need all the help upfront we can get as long as it’s decent buy by the way.

He added:

“We are also looking to add to the squad at the moment and we are hoping to get a striker in.

“The chairman is dealing with it but we hope it will be a very good piece of business if we can get it concluded.”

Well not too bad,although if according to reports it’s motherwell’s Chris Porter i think we can do better

I saw a story somewhere in the papers that newcastle of all teams are looking to get Kris Kommons you might remember his belter against Man Utd as a replacement for the ineffective Duff, Why any player would go to newcastle in this point in time only god knows,so ill take that story as a paper filler and really nothing but hot air.

Well I will post the coventry city match preview later on soon as i get my open office program installed.

comments welcome..

In: Expect Villa, Stubbs, Carroll, Sterjovski and Savage to stay, as well as Ghaly and Mills if permanent deals can be agreed with Spurs and Man City…

Out: Expect loan moves for Pearson (Stoke), Bywater (Ipswich) and Fagan (Hull) to be made permanent, as well as possible moves for Teale (Plymouth), Mo Camara (Norwich), Lee Holmes (Walsall) and Nyatanga (Barnsley).

Out Of Contract: Edworthy and Johnson will probably be released.

Rest: Price, McEveley, Moore, Leacock, Davis, Jones, Earnshaw, Miller, Lewis, Todd, Feilhaber, Mears and Barnes – remains to be seen.

Stephen Pearson (Stoke City Loan): Was dropped to the bench but played the last 10 minutes of Stokes 2-1 over fellow promotion chasers Bristol City. There’s a sentence I never thought I’d be saying.

Lewin Nyatanga (Barnsley): Played the whole 90 minutes in the 1-0 defeat against Leicester City. Can beat Chelsea and Liverpool but can’t beat a lowly Champ team!

Stephen Bywater (Ipswich): Played the full game in the 1-1 draw against Wolves, both teams chasing one of the last play-off places.

Michael Johnson (Notts County): Suffered an ankle injury in Saturday’s 1-0 defeat at Wrexham and was replaced at half-time at the Racecourse Ground – he is expected to be fit for the Wycombe game. Different club, same problem Johnno! (BBC Interview here)

Craig Fagan (Hull City): Played an hour on the wrong side of a 2-0 scoreline against Sheffied United. And as if you need telling, Fagan managed to get himself booked as well. That’s 2 bookings in 4 starts (plus 2 as a sub) since his loan move to Hull City. Fagan managed 17 appearances (plus 5 as a sub) for Derby and picked up 6 yellows plus a separate 4 match ban for a “stamp” on Arbeloa at Anfield. If only his goal scoring/assists stats were as colourful.

Gary Teale (Plymouth): Plymouth surrended a two goal lead to draw 2-2 against Preston – Teale was introduced as sub in stoppage time.

Lee Holmes (Walsall): Played all of the 3-1 defeat against Bournemouth, which means Walsall can’t make the playoffs.

Mo Camara (Norwich): Played 84 minutes in the 2-1 defeat against table toppers West Brom. Still prone to the disappearing at the wrong end of the pitch.
