Ben Woodburn is set to join Oxford United on loan from Liverpool. You'd think he could do better than League One, like maybe us.
Could be, he really burst onto the scene, but seems to have been overtaken by other good Liverpool youngsters.
Apparently Klopp doesnt see Harry Wilson's future at Liverpool. Bit of a shame that as he's not really been given a chance at that level but has been amazing for us and for Derby. Liverpool value him at £20m, Which again puts the Bowen asking price into perspective. Bowen has a better record over the last 2 years, is a similar age too.
Derby have sold Jacob Butterfield go to Luton, a whisper on twitter said Jon Toral was at Derby today with a view to signing for them. This seems like the usual twitter BS as Grant McCann was bigging Toral up on Radio Humberside last night.
I think it is typical twitter / facebook heresay, total bollocks. McCann dopped Hendriksen to the bench to get Toral some game time and Toral also started against Amiens as well.
No doubt this will play out .. but Toral definitely has the ability to be the playmaker we so desperately need if he can get his fitness levels up to speed and remain free of injury .. a big if I know .. combine that with the industry of Batty and Stewart, i suspect this is what GM may see as his preferred midfield. For me Henriksen flatters to deceive too often .. and add that to the rumour mills suggesting he may be on his way out it does make sense to have Toral playing. I would suspect that one of the two may be on their way out but common sense would dictate not both. However with daft lad at the helm anything is possible.
