    Two rumours I heard today from (previously) sort-of-reliable sources, one particularly so: The first, from a workplace friend I know has an inside track at Burton, was a loan deal for Darren Bent. As he was telling me, I pulled up Benty's twitter feed which confirmed he is out for the season, so he should fit in well... My friend's colleague followed up by predicting we'd be signing Giles Barnes as midfield GT cover/supersub, which I have no way of disproving. He is a free agent of sorts, its the MLS offseason at the mo. Anyone?

    That one year extension on Bent's contract last year was a cracking deal for our insurers - not.

    Giles Barnes? Well it could be interesting but not likely to add much value is he if hes been let go by MLS side

    Benty out for the season I watch him on Rams player at Sunderland he didn't get injured there because he never touch the ball Its a long time since I've been so disgusted with a Derby player Total waste of space who has milked the club dry

    Bent out for the season...wasn’t he injured while taking a penalty? Must be very fragile...surprised he can lift his wallet.

    Wasn’t there a rumour about Barnes rejoining about this time last year? He has, or had, many of the attributes we should do with but I’d be surprised. Big step up from the standard he’s used to and it would depend on him leaving his ego behind. Was chucked out of Disney in Orlando recently I believe. Might suggest he still has the type of ‘baggage’ we can do without.

    Your ‘friend’s colleague’ was ill informed, Andy. Barnes has crossed the wall to Leon in Mexico...another rumour bites the dust.
