Every player is for sale at the right price, is just up to the clubs to define the right price.

Said from the start this move wouldn't happen.

Still think the same.

It concerns me that so much optimism is being pinned to this guy. If it doesn't work and we don't get him then it's a real downer, a big negative.

We can do without another Ferrie Bodde saga hijacking the summer to be honest. Thorne is good but he's not the only player out there. If he hadn't played the last 10 games of last season we wouldn't even know who he is.

But we can't write off that he did play for us and did so very successfully.He showed how the central defensive midfield role could be played and the limitations of John Eustace in that role.
Its worth being prepared to be patient and trust that our management will be able to find a replacement if we are not able to get Thorne to Derby.

The only way our interest could be negative is if we wait too long , still miss out on him, and in the process miss out on other players who could do a job for us.

I think your being unduly pessimistic! In any deal there has to be two willing clubs and a willing player and agent, the hopeful signs are that Thorne is willing, it therefore remains for theclubs to agree a deal, its early in the transfer window and West Brom do not have a manager and Derby haveindicated that it will take a while to do any deal, but I'm sure this does not mean they arent looking at others, after all we ahve a much more professional player recruitment set up than previously.
