Brett Wilson on thorne

[Ramstein]

We will just have to wait and see. There are so many factors involved in this.

Players change their mind, so I'm sure Derby have a plan B! They would be fools if they do not.

Patience is a virtue and it's lost on many, we did our business very early last season but I think part of that was due to the fact we knew what division we were going to be in. Prior to the Play Off final we could have been Prem bound which requires a completely different player acquisition strategy so I do think we are playing catch up a little.

We are an attractive club to many potential players, but respective clubs do not want to lose their best assets or weaken their sides without recompense of a certain level that enables them to replace. We are working to a budget so we can't go steam rolling in...from the first call on a transfer (as with any sale) it's a negotiation...they take time to get the right deal for all parties.

Patience.

Be patient guys, since when do negotiations be broadcast publicly on a minute by minute basis?

This is what i've heard - Thorne deffo wants to leave the baggies and its down to haggling between the clubs, it aint even the price, its the way the fee is structured, West Brom want more up front Derby would prefer to pay installments and add ons.

Until the inks dry on the paper then nothings certain but if i was a betting man then I'd say the odds on us getting Thorne are good.

I for one are glad we have a club who will take their time to negotiate the best possible deal, we have in the past seemed to be willing paid over the odds for players (just for the record I'm refering to pre Clough times!).

Or just can't afford to pay a realistic price in the selling clubs view!!!

When the same was happening with the previous management you were spitting feathers and snagging the management and.o
