Derby boss Paul Jewell has voiced his concerns over Giles Barnes' knee injury.Shorter version: Please don't buy him from us! He's our only hope of ever getting back to the Premiership!
The midfielder picked up the problem in training last week and sat out the goalless draw with Sunderland on Saturday.
He underwent a scan on Friday that confirmed he had not suffered any damage to his cruciate ligament.
However, Jewell still fears the injury could be serious as he prepares to send Barnes to see another specialist.
And while Jewell's bosses won't appreciate his knocking a few hundred thousand off the final sale price, you can certainly see how it's in Jewell's selfish interest to do so. He'll be judged on results, and those will be better with Barnes than without him.
Should there be a Salary Cap in Football?
ReplyDeletePersonally I think there should be! It’s just getting to be stupid money in football at the top of the premiership!
It’s always the same teams at the top proving that football success is based purely on money which ruins the idea of it being a sport! They’ve done it in rugby, basketball, hockey and American football and it makes the sports more competitive and better to watch!
I do a little Spread Betting from time to time and most matches don’t hold much surprise who is going to win, its boring! I want to see a team at the bottom pulling off an amazing season beating last seasons winners in a close fought battle!
Make things fair! It shouldn’t be about money!
Plus!
All there is all that money in the premiership and barely any of it stays in the UK so it’s not even helping the economy!
From my Spread Betting (or more precisely Football Spread Betting) if I ever win big (which is never, I’m unlucky) it’s still nothing compared to the average premiership players weekly wage!
