topcorner Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 On what grounds can Derby refuse to pay the compo fee? That's what i was wondering. Surely it's a mandatory thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reekie_Red Posted June 4, 2011 Share Posted June 4, 2011 How stupid is he when he is trying to break into the Scotland set up and asks to leave the squad to go get his medical. Way to impress the national coach. In true anti-Aberdeen style, the loon is barely oot the door at Pittodrie, and the national manager gives him a cap.

manc_don Posted June 5, 2011 Share Posted June 5, 2011 I was going to ask, has this transfer gone through? Hardly sounds like there is a wealth of clubs after his signature and it seems to have gone quiet since the Scotland game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Bad news. Though this guy sounds like a prick. Can't see their fans being overly pleased with it surely Last thing we need is for him to go nowhere and sign a deal with us. He will strop and blame us for the failure of his transfer. Why? Because he's an ungrateful ned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom_widdows Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13944239.stm Derby County seal Chris Maguire deal with Aberdeen Derby County have signed out-of-contract Aberdeen striker Chris Maguire on a three-year deal after the two clubs agreed a compensation package. Maguire, 22, turned down a new contract to stay in Scotland but the Scottish Premier League side are entitled to recompense because of his age. The fee for the Scotland international is understood to be around £400,000. Rams boss Nigel Clough told the club website: "He is an exciting talent with great potential to improve further." He added: "He is a creative player and someone who can bring a spark to the team." Dons chief executive Duncan Fraser told the Dons website: "We are very pleased to have reached a satisfactory outcome which fully recognises the investment that this club makes in developing young players." Maguire had been expected to join Derby more than three weeks ago but compensation talks held up the deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick sheep Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 http://www.burtonmail.co.uk/Sport/Derby-County-FC/Maguire-was-worth-waiting-for-boss-28062011.htm [quote author=Burton Mail Maguire was worth waiting for - boss by TOM SLOAN DERBY County have ended one of the longest transfer sagas of the summer by finally sealing a deal for striker Chris Maguire. The 22-year-old targetman has arrived from Aberdeen after the Rams agreed a fee with the Dons. He has signed a three-year contract and is the seventh player to arrive this summer as boss Nigel Clough overhauls his squad. The deal, which first became public almost eight weeks ago, has been stalled over the two clubs agreeing a fee. Aberdeen have stuck to their demand for £450,000, with Derby having to pay a fee for an out-of-contract player due to him being under the age of 24. Clough said: “Chris is an exciting talent who has great potential to improve further. “He is a creative player and someone who can bring a spark to the team. “He’s still young and will develop and improve, but having played in the Scottish Premier League and made his international debut, he already has the quality to be competitive in our squad and team.” Maguire, now a full Scotland international with two caps, caught the eye of Clough and the rest of the Rams’ backroom staff by hitting 12 goals in the Scottish Premier League last season. In total, he scored 24 goals in 158 appearances for the Dons and was named Scottish Premier League Young Player of the Month in September, 2010. He follows Frank Fielding, Jason Shackell, Craig Bryson, Jamie Ward, Theo Robinson and Nathan Tyson into Pride Park. There could be more arrivals soon, while Clough is also keen to get several players out who are surplus to requirements. The Rams boss said: “We are reasonably pleased with the business we’ve conducted so far. “There’s still a bit of work to do, both in and out. “We have a few more positions to fill, for cover or otherwise. “We are actively working hard to secure those deals — hopefully some can be completed this week. “In an ideal world, we would like them in by the start of training on Friday. “We are close with a couple which we hope to tie up before Friday, and then a few more at some point in July.” MILES Addison’s loan to Barnsley was formally completed yesterday. The 22-year-old centre-back will spend the first half of the season on loan at Oakwell. Clough said: “Miles was in and out of the team in the second half of last season and Barnsley can give him the first-team football that we can’t right now. “He had an awful long time out of action, especially when you also consider the time he spent playing with the injury prior to the operation. “He’s gone to Barnsley to play games, but part of the loan was that he agreed to extend his contract here, and we are delighted with that. “Miles will be there for six months and we will review things again in January. “He needs to play games more than anything right now and Barnsley will give him that chance to play 23 games and get his sharpness and match fitness up.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

manc_don Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Finally is the only word to describe my feelings on this. Whether it be £400k or £450K, thanks for the money and I wish you the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
