Gary Rowett could send Nick Blackman out on loan to get more game time as he is unlikely to feature for the Rams, but if no one comes in for him come August 31st then he might have to see where Rowett can fit him in, in the match day squad as he is now currently fit to do so.

Don't feel sorry for him, but he hasn't done a lot wrong, other than not be as good as we had hoped. He comes across a try-er, so it's not like he's sat on a cushy salary without effort. He's proved he can score at this level, so hope he can find a club that suits his style of play.

Injury prone since he joined for us from Reading never quite fitted into our system so he best to go out on loan to a club who can get the best out of him and get back to his best again whilst he was at Reading which will allow us to free up a space in our squad to get a player in who better fits our style of play.

Agreed...he's not like a Claude, who looked as if he couldn't give a stuff week in week out, but something has to give...£15k per week...really? That's ridiculous...daren't even work out how much those 21 appearances have cost each but I reckon his 1 solitary goal cost us about £1.2m

Hence MM's got twitchy!! Add on the cost in wages per game of certain other non-performers and one can understand him calling time on the 'money go round!! Sigh, happy days!!

He's the best penalty taker at the club, he's worth keeping just for that! Just in case it goes to penalties in the Wembly play off final when it goes to penno's

Really? Well I don't know about Blackman exactly, but I know a few pay packets around the Champeenship and benchmarked those and the associated hacker/stopper with Blackman, so I reckon its ballpark.Agreed...he's not like a Claude, who looked as if he couldn't give a stuff week in week out, but something has to give...£15k per week...really?

And I hope comes back a more useful player rather than just disappearing somewhere. OK he looked a bit lost in a Derby shirt but he's never been given a decent run, handed the business end of a ****ty stick by Derby as far as I'm concerned
