mizer Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Nigel Clough has confirmed Derby County will hold talks with Russell Anderson about extending his contract. The 31-year-old defender has impressed at Pride Park since joining the Rams in January on a deal until the end of the season after having his contract cancelled following a forgettable spell at Sunderland. With Derby's Championship status virtually secured after Saturday's goalless draw at Barnsley, Clough revealed he will now begin negotiations with the former Aberdeen centre-half over a new deal. "The priority is to sort Russell out," said the Rams boss. "We said if we got a point we would sit down this week so we will be doing that and seeing if we can get him sorted out for next season and maybe beyond. "Russell says he has enjoyed it here and says he wants to stay. He wants to play and we give him that opportunity. "Not many clubs at our level can match what we can offer in terms of 30,000 fans watching at Pride Park, our training facilities and our ambition. "Against Barnsley, Russell was very steady again and very reliable. He won his headers, made his clearances and does not make many mistakes. He is forging a good solid partnership with Shaun Barker." So no excuses for suggesting Anderson to come back as the messiah during the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kowalski Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 We've already got one messiah at the club, do we need another one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Russell was very steady again and very reliable. He won his headers, made his clearances and does not make many mistakes Couldnt be much further from how the current Aberdeen team are doing.

baggy89 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 So no excuses for suggesting Anderson to come back as the messiah during the summer. Surely got a couple more playing years in him, and anyway I feel he should cut his teeth at a lower level before stepping into the dugout at Pittodrie .

tsr Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Think Derby have kept 4 clean sheets in 6 games Anderson has played! Great player and glad his knee is holding out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Only thing I'm pissed at is the fact Anderson never got to lead his team into Europe. And the fact he's not an Aberdeen player any more. A million times the captain that Kerr or Severin ever have been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A million times the captain that Kerr or Severin ever have been. The difference between Anderson and his successors is that Anderson was reliable 99 percent of the time and other players respected him, not just at Aberdeen but in the SPL.

Guest donindundonald Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 So he's entering contract talks? Doesn't mean that he is def staying with Derby. I'm still holding out for this headline in the summer - "Anderson signs for Dons" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
