dervites the odd one in that list

 

new contract in the summer, far from alone in struggling early season

 

anyway, i think we will struggle to move anybody on but wish parky all the best

Dervite can only be about money.

Why would we let our CH cover go just to get a replacement in immediately ?

Derik would be more useful than Karacan as midfield/defensive cover IMO.

However, since none of the three mentioned are playing it would not be surprising if they moved on.

Never understood why we gave Dervite another contract.

We had no money and were under an embargo. He was solid during the promotion run in. There are three reasons.

KA sounding more like a maanger there

He just needs to add ‘as I have been discussing with Phil’.

 

Which he might have but that was left out.

 

Everything he says is right btw. If Henry and Pratley miss a few games we need more physical presence in the middle.

Isn't pratley out of contract end of season? If so we may indeed need another midfielder in.

 

No problems with letting them three go- quite like osede, but he doesn't seem to be parkys type of player, so let him go.

To me. Derik is what used to be termed a utility player - great to have as a sub as can cover several different positions, but in the age where we nor have 7 subs, no longer a necessity

And out of all the time he has been with us he had one consistent spell at league one level. Been better putting what little money we had into someone else.

We couldn't afford better than Dervite last Summer, we were potless.

At the time West Ham had not confirmed that Burke was definitely coming on loan.

Dervite is not a bad reserve IMO.

just been reading the derik love in on the ben

 

just dont get iot

 

apparently, hes clearlya good footballer

 

well, dunno how that fits with him being totally unable to keep the ball on the pitch when played at right back

 

seems he's a box to box midfilder, as well

 

i really dunno what people see in him

 

he's probably a nice lad but hes not big enough to play centre back and hes not strong/energetic enough or a good enough footballer to play midfield

 

 

to back up my amusement at todays comments, theres a cracker

 

'you only have to look at armstrongs goals for newcastle to know we dont play him the ball where he wants it'

 

really?

 

lads yet to score for newcastle but lets not let that cloud things

He is also one of our highest earners

Maybe I’m a bit harsh in making my mind up about Derik within about 20 minutes of his debut at Morecambe, but he’s done fuck all to change it. He only played in midfield because he was such a horror show at the back. Maybe that’s where people see the similarity with Campo, but in reality Campo did the business for Real, not dick about in their third team then kid on like he’d been playing in the Champions League.

Not arsed about Derik tbh, he's supposed to be on about 10K a week and has little chance of playing, might as well try and get shut now and put his wages towards a striker etc.
