it isn't you silly little man - they are immigrants to the inhabitants of the country they have gone to -- dooooh!!
Anyway this Tom Ince fella , does he have a future with us ? . I expect he will be sold in the summer personally giving that we have loaned him out twice now.
Hoping he rips the Championship a new arsehole & bangs in the goals to get Derby promoted. Unfortunately I think his attitude mixed with the overly high opinion he has of himself will lead to him failing miserably & returning, unwanted, in the summer. EDIT: Is he out of contract in the summer?
Derby County have completed the loan signing of Paul Ince’s son, Tom Ince from Hull City. In a loan deal lasting until the end of the season, Steve McClaren has expressed his delight in the transfer deadline day capture. McCLaren described Ince as a “excellent talent” and “We have obviously found ourselves a bit short out wide lately, so to bring someone of Tom’s calibre in is a real coup for us.” “He knows what the Championship is all about and has made a real impact in the division before, so we hope that he can have an influence on our side for the rest of the season.” Ince last played at Championship level for bitter rivals Nottingham Forest, in a short six game spell before being recalled by Hull City earlier than planned. Ince earned his move to Hull city after being at Blackpole and rejecting a eight million pound move to Cardiff city, the year before his contract expired. This price tag was earned through being the Football League’s young player of the year in 2013, where he scored 37 goals in 117 starts for the seasiders. With this award also came a lot of media attention and with his dad as his agent, he soon became the most sought after attacking prospect in English football. However the past year has been stop start for Ince, but with this fresh move to The Rams, he hopes to get back to his best in a league he knows well. Ince seemed excited to be pulling on the black and white jersey, “to have this opportunity now, to come to a club, who for me is playing unbelievable football, and they have every right to be playing in the Premier League next season.” “To be part of this now and be part of the final push, I’m over the moon (and) excited”. Ince seems to understand it wont be a stroll over the finish line and added, “this is the business end and this is where the hard work really counts.” On getting the chance to work with Steve McClaren, who also managed his father, Paul Ince at Middlesbrough. Ince stated it was one of the biggest reasons for Derby being his destination after other clubs showed interest, his decision was also made easier by knowing some of the other Rams players through the England youth teams. The experience of McClaren was the deciding factor however, “the manager has unbelievable experience, your talking world class experience, to have that at a club and to have a man like McClaren that can guide me, as I’m only twenty three years of age.” Ince finally added, “Hopefully the manager can make me a better player.” Ince admitted to being frustrated at Hull City by not getting first team football, but knew that he would not just walk into a high flying Derby County team. He recognised it was time for him to work hard, get into the squad and hopefully stay there. With Premier League clubs also interest in the former Football League Young Player of the year, Ince who is clearly looking for games, said the Championship had its plus points by playing repeatedly on a Tuesday and a Saturday. “To play football Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday, you can’t beat that. It doesn’t matter how many games come around you always look forward to a game of football, especially when your at the right end of the table and the Premier League is in sight.” When asked what will Tom Ince bring to this Derby County squad, he replied “I’m a wide player, and can also play in behind the striker, its really just a attacking flair and I believe the manager allows people to express themselves.” “Really my aim here is to assist and score goals, I want to score goals because at the end of the day scoring goals wins you games!” What’s your thoughts on Derby’s latest loan signing? Will Ince get his head down and bond well enough with the current group of players, or is he a risk that may cause disruption and effect the teams performance? After a great 2013 with Blackpole, and a less than great 12 months previous to this loan move, will he be able to find the form that he showed at Blackpole?
Derby County: Tom Ince reckons Rams are best side in England NEW loan signing Tom Ince believes Derby County have been head and shoulders above the rest in the country this season. Ince has arrived from Hull City for the rest of the campaign and finds Derby joint top of the division, favourites to win promotion and on an impressive run of seven wins in their last eight games. “You can see there is a desire within the club to get to where they want to go. Being given the opportunity to be a part of a promotion push is fantastic for me,” said Ince. “Why Derby? Every time I have been here as a player I’ve always had a bit of a spanking (recalling heavy defeats suffered by Blackpool)! “It is a fantastic club, a Premier League club. The history, the facilities, the fan base – it is at that level to be in the Premier League. “To come here is a no-brainer and I cannot wait to get going. “Throughout the Championship season, this club has been head and shoulders above anyone else.” The chance to work with Rams head coach Steve McClaren played a big part in Ince’s decision to choose Derby when other Championship clubs showed a keen interest in taking the 23-year-old attacking midfielder or wide player. “The first thing he (Steve McClaren) said to me was ‘I coached your old man (Paul Ince) a few years ago – you are taller than him and better looking!” Ince smiled. “Steve McClaren has coached in Holland and Germany. He has coached at some fantastic clubs and, hopefully, he can nurture me and help me develop in my career. “He knows what I can bring to the team but naturally I have to work hard to try and get in the team. There are some very, very good players here and I am more than happy to be a part of it. “It is a challenge I am relishing.” Ince has endured a stop-start season to date. He signed for Hull in the summer and started the campaign in the first team before opportunities became limited. He then joined Nottingham Forest on loan where he was restricted to four starts. Ince admits it has been a frustrating time. “When I first went to Hull and started the first three or four Premier League games, I thought I was in with a good chance but all of a sudden things went differently,” he said. "There were a lot of misunderstandings between the players, the manager took sides with one group and I was in the other. "I was cast straight out of the team and told to find somewhere to go on loan until the new year. I knew then that my time at Hull was over. "I was disappointed because I was really looking forward to testing myself in the premier league, but I couldn't work with the manager any longer so I had to leave. “That happens in football and you have to accept it. Fortunately for me, I am still at an age when you can learn from your experiences. “Forest had a great start to the season and then they went on a bit of a bad run. I went into the side knowing that. I started the first few games and got man-of-the-match in a few of them but then found myself not playing. “It got to a point where I thought, without sounding bad, ‘what have I come here for’. In the beginning I thought the move was the right thing and at the end you think ‘OK. I will learn from it’. “These things happen in football. It is not always an easy road, you know there will be rocky times. “I have been to the play-offs with Blackpool and got to the final only to have that heartbreaking feeling that the lads here felt in May. It is the worst feeling in the world. I am sure the objective is to bypass the play-offs. “The Premier League is where you want to play. You want to be a part of that and test yourself against those teams. What I have seen already here, and over the months, is that this team is more than capable of doing that. “My aim is to work hard and be a part of something special. To try and help the club to win promotion. “I am thankful to be given the opportunity to play in a side that is going into games full of confidence. “I know I am not just going to walk into the side. I have to work hard in training and, hopefully, show not only the players but the fans why the club brought me here. “It is a big three months for me but I feel I am in the right place. “I have played in the Premier League, and I miss it, and I want the Premier League for Derby.”
I've not seen these quotes before, but this can not be good for the club at all, for him to come out and say things like "There were a lot of misunderstandings between the players, the manager took sides with one group and I was in the other." just shows the divide in our team. Either that or Tom is extremely exaggerating the situation and he just wasn't putting any effort into training and Bruce dropped him, also didn't we sign Hernandez and we dropped Ince for him? I don't see how he can complain about that. You can't come out in the media and rip your old manager like that without burning bridges, Bruce won't want him back now, we'll sell him in the summer for £3m (Or more, depending on how well he does at Derby) and be shot of him. So it looks like we won't see Ince in a city shirt again, unless he does **** at Derby and they send him back and we get desperate and have to play him upfront again.
I've always spelled it with a double L, it's the British way of spelling it, the yanks spell it with one L, think you've been away from our fair shores for too long. As for immigrants, I welcome them. Britain is becoming more multicultural and it's something to be embraced.
I don't understand what's happened to Ince. Always looked a cut above whenever I saw him play for Blackpool, but his attitude is questionable, not least because of who his auld fella is, and how he's trying to stage manage the lad's career, and making a right **** up of it. He appears to think he's better than he actually is, he needs to knuckle down and get on with his football and dump his agent......there's definitely a player in there though.
And what about 'completley' is that the way they spell it in Britain? I don't think so Sterling. Perhaps you could tell me one Country where multiculturalism has worked. One will do! But, getting back to Ince - why did we buy this bloke? We chased him and chased him and he'd had an offer from Inter Milan I believe. We declared a major coup when we obtained his signature and then sent him out on loan. The few games he played he showed some deft touches at times and appeared to be a 'work in progress' and then we send him out on loan again with a potential permanent move on the cards. Bit odd this one.
If Ince had been offered a deal at Inter Milan, he'd have taken it. He's looked poor in his appearances for us so far, I don't think it's at all odd that he's been sent out on loan. 'completley' was obviously a typo, I'd stop digging.
It does amaze me how many people buy this just cos he said it. Inter's sporting director met with Ince, he showed him around Appiano Gentile, he paid a visit to Giuseppe Meazza, he had a chat about his plans for life after Blackpool, all of which I suspect was more a courtesy to father Paul who (ex) President Moratti has named as his favourite ever Inter player. Ince junior was NOT offered a contract. Anyone who thinks Ince would turn choose a relegation favourite over a club with a champions league and world club championship title in the last 5 years is frankly preposterous.
