Mid-table

To be honest, I think Wayne Rooney is very wise (never thought I’d ever use those words in the same sentence) not to contemplate Investing his own money in ownership of Derby County. Much safer to let others carry the financial risk and wrath of supporters when things go off the rails.

That is good to hear - I’d be delighted if he is back to full-health

This would be a very good signing for the club. My concern is that this could be a signal that the shoulder injury Sarkic has sustained may be more challenging to overcome than many expect - I hope that is not the case, but shoulder injuries and goalkeepers is rarely a happy combination.

I recall somewhere around £25k pw being reported when he signed - not sure wether that was based on fact or guesswork though!

to my mind this is a very good barometer of how to rate progress this year ….. very positive, only the ’goals for’ column raises an eyebrow. fingers crossed for more of the same points-wise during the second half of the season

Personally, i would view any game-time this season as a bonus for Neto, I’d expect the medical team to be pretty cautious with his return to the first team

Given the nature of his injury and the fact it has always been termed ‘complex’ it was always very unlikely that he’d be able to contribute anything meaningful this season. There is no need for any part of his rehab to be rushed, however all athletes want to return as quickly as possible - I’m...
