    I always talk bollocks unless I happen to be right. Then it just looks like I'm talking bollocks.

    Sorry I don't have access to the contracts. I just like to think our owners make their own decisions and don't let Tom Ince or his dad tell them what to do. If we'd have stayed up no one would have batted an eyelid if Tom Ince had gone to Derby County.

    For me - it was a shame Tom never got more game time

    I know he missed a couple of great chances early on but if we persevered with him I think he'd have knocked one in and then I think he'd have scored a few goals last season

    As opposed to Aluko who Bruce has given countless chances to play and has never really looked like scoring many

    Ince wants to play at Derby as he's welcome there and has been a success, despite not making the play-offs they're a club on the up wheras our ownership is a disgrace and I'd be surprised if anyone trusts them anymore. I even think Bruce is too close to the owners and they don't want to pay compensation to get rid of him.

    Your theory is plausible, although I think it is improbable. We had Europe and two cups to tip our cap at, we also had one winger (or is he a defender <whistle>) , Brady, with a chequered injury history and yet to fully prove himself. Bruce was pretty much nailing his colours to 3-5-2 but he knew he needed options and saw Ince as a midfielder or second striker.I know it sounds daft, but, truth is, it was. I think Ince was shipped out because he failed to deliver and Bruce could neither justify, to the owners, keeping him on payroll when cups were a pipedream and he could not justify, to Messrs Ince, the family friend sitting on the bench. What went wrong was Bruce's inability to get the best out of Ince and others. The clause can only be explained, if you follow this theory, as an act of folly or favouritism.

    I haven't seen anyone judging the squad, just discussing the strange events that unfolded with the one we had.

    Tom Ince is a ****. Who he plays for is incidental to Tom Ince. He couldnt hack it in the PL.
    Well shot of him.

    What absolute bllushit, The club's hand was forced cos Bruce decided to become **** at being a manager in his second season in the EPL with City. A trait he's demonstrated at other clubs too.

    When I saw this I was hoping it was about Huddlestone.

    I heard on good authority that Ince had been a bad lad which is why he was discarded by Bruce , don't shoot the messenger, just mentioning what someone told me.

    I'm not that keen on anonymous rumours, I prefer facts.

    Derby boss Paul Clement confirms club are trying to sign Tom Ince

    Derby County manager Paul Clement says the club are determined sign Hull winger Tom Ince this summer and he suggested Burnley's Jason Shackell is also of interest.

    Sky Sports reported on Wednesday that Ince, who thrived on loan at the Rams last season, was to hold talks with Hull over his future and that both Derby and their former manager Steve McClaren, now at Newcastle, are interested in his transfer.

    Derby have so far signed Darren Bent from Aston Villa as well as Alex Pearce, Chris Baird, Scott Carson and young striker Shaquille McDonald from Cheltenham.
