CONFIMRED - Blackman to Derby

[The Royal Forester]

Same fee, apparently, as QPR have received for Austin...

Can we have Longy back now, please?

On his way to Liverpool if the Times is to be believed.

I don't understand why QPR didn't sell in the summer for around £10m rather than keep holding out for £15m. Just cost them around £6m which they could have reinvested anyway in a new striker. Owners clearly have more money than sense.

Maybe they were concerned that without half a season of goals from him they'd go down again.

All hail Nick Hammond!

Is he still at the club ?

Very damning
Seems like he's not getting a honeymoon period

Well done Reading and Hammond

Blackman will come good for Derby, He just needs a couple of seasons to settle down before he had a purple patch.

Well done Reading and Hammond

Yes, well done. Taking goals out of the side and losing 1-0 to lowly MK Dons.

How many did he score in his last 10 or so?

How many has he scored this season?

Aguero and Costa have had poor spells this season too - but they've scored something like 5 in 5 games now.

[tidus_mi2]

Aquero and Costa are great players that occasionally have a bad spell.

Blackman is a shit player who had a good spell.

But some players come good. Blackman was in and out of the Reading side all the time under previous managers. A decent run in the team under Clarke this season saw him scoring way more goals than anyone else in the Reading side.

Not recently it didn't.

What's it got to do with you anyway? Why don't you go back to GF and blaming refs for Chelsea's plight. Or being jealous of Liverpool's history.

I feel like we are going in circles here.

Derby fans already booing him! And he thought he had it hard here with our lot!

Vardy wasn't 'that good' until this season. Now most clubs would jump at the chance to sign him.

Yeah, only the 40 goals in 113 games for Leicester since 2012.

Years Team Apps† (Gls)†
2007–2010 Stocksbridge Park Steels 107 (66)
2010–2011 FC Halifax Town 37 (27)
2011–2012 Fleetwood Town 36 (31)
2012– Leicester City 113 (40)

Clearly in a bit of a purple patch!
