Wheels have fallen off at Derby at the min, my Derby supporting fan mate is worried sick they not even going to make the playoffs .

And yes Sessegnon looks good hope he don't end up at spurs.

That should come as no surprise to anyone who follows The Championship, Derby are the Arsenal of The Championship, always look good for promotion, then choke badly either lose in the playoffs or, miss out of the playoffs altogether. Few years back Derby went top one Good Friday, then missed out on the playoffs, think Watford won that league instead.

Given the prices paid for other teenagers like Vinicus Jr and Pellegri I'd say it's a fair starting point for a left winger/left back who's scoring 1 in 3 at 17, taking in to account the English premium and the clubs interested. I'd be happy with us paying that to get him.

Out of curiosity what would you consider fair value?

50m+ for somebody that will only have just turned 18? I'm all for us spending money but that's just mad. 30m would be fair value in my opinion, he hasn't even played a top flight game yet.

Clubs are spending around £30m on under 18's who've played less than 10 senior games. Players barely out their teens are going for over £100m. £30m would have got you him maybe 2-3 years ago but there's been a big shift in prices.

Yeah I all know many haven't got any time for Colin Wanker but I would love it if Cardiff bagged that 2nd auto spot and forced Villa into a playoff (which they lose).

Never forgiven them or never will for that Stevie Gerrard birthday party picture. The deluded set of brummie wankers.

On a side note, Hope Fulham come back as had some memorable away's there. Cracking little ground too.

Me as well, that's 6 free points to Man Utd if Villa go up.

Looking at the table much prefer Fulham to have a run & pip Cardiff for 2nd place, Fulham currently 5 points behind Cardiff, & leave Cardiff, Villa, Derby, Bristol City or Preston rather than Boro in the playoffs.

iamnant · « **Reply #128 on:** March 9, 2018, 11:25:16 am »

With a father from Cardiff and having lived there for 5 years, I really hope they go up, but I find it hard to currently support them with that dickhead in charge. But for the good of the city - and my Dad! - I'd love to see them back in the Premier League.

redgriffin73 · « **Reply #129 on:** March 9, 2018, 01:31:40 pm »

Just don't want any that are shit to get to coming up, so no thanks to Cardiff or Bristol City. Preston would be great.

The four Aston Villa fans that took that silly picture?

Phil M · « **Reply #133 on:** March 10, 2018, 04:59:41 pm »

Mitrovic is tearing it up for Fulham. 7 goals in 6 games I think. And Fulham have won something like 9 of their last 11. Amazing form.

Late winner today sees them just a pt off Villa who are in 3rd and play Wolves at 5.30.

Would like to see them come up.

elsewhere · « **Reply #134 on:** March 10, 2018, 07:04:26 pm »

Poor form from the Wolves. Looks like Cardiff will top the league and Wolves-Villa-Fulham will fight for the 2nd spot.

Doubt it. They're still seven points clear and have a very good midfield/attack to get over the line.

I still say I would rather have Mitrovic playing for us than Dwight Gayle.

Only 5 pts in their last 5 matches, thinhgs can change very quickly imo. I sure hope Aston Villa doesn’t make it but they’ve been on a good run.

Wolves and Cardiff will go up automatically it seems, while it's anyone's guess who else will join them. Fulham have been in great form but that really doesn't count for much in two-legged playoffs, as Huddersfield showed last season.

13 clear of 3rd now. The battle between Wolves and Cardiff should be good, Cardiff away to Derby tomorrow.

If Cardiff win tomorrow you have to say that the top two spots are sealed, although there will still be quite a race to see who actually is crowned Champion

Wolves have 2 very good wing backs plus some decent attacking players, Neves also looks decent.
