Poll Inigo Idiakez Yes or No (Derby midfielder hands in transfer request)

Recommended Posts

Although I would imagine that if he has handed in a transfer request at Derby it means he is looking for a move to the Premiership or to a team that are more likely to be on their way to the Premiership.

It''s a NO from me. Although Idiakez is a good player and is the heartbeat of Derby''s team he is too old for Norwich. He is a 31 year old veteran and we need to be looking at the younger players to propel us forward into the Premmie. Spending nearly a million on a 31 year old who will only do a job for this season and next MAXIMUM doesn''t have any logic to me.

I say a very BIG NO!

AND what about robinson then Damo??  he''s 30 this year and very average - £300,000.  Also if he helps solve this midfield shocker we are having and gets us promoted thats the best 900,000 we have ever spent (certainly better than another million we have spent this year [;)] And he has the potential of being a Premiership class player (we wouldnt want to get caught signing one of those).  Personally I would rather see Koumas but it aint going to happen - either of them. I mean christ they are good players!!!!  lol

Oh yeah and he DESTROYED us earlier in the season in which we had a midfield including Robinson and Etuhu.

YES PLEASE!Unless the price is extortionate.We would gain a midfielder, with vision and skill - an ability ot pick out collagues and pass accurately, a good shot and an excellent dead-ball specialist. We have been lacking these for some time, even when Mulryne was at his best. He would be a good supplier to Deano!

Paul, i never said Robinson was a good player. I too agree he is average at best and if it were my choice he wouldn''t even be at this club. I saw Idiakez against us and he did destroy us but that is no reason to go spending what little money we have left on a player who, at his age, would be considered past his best and surely not Premmie quality.

We need to be looking at the broader horizon here not just at the next few months of the season. What good is it building a team of old, mediocre Championship players who will get us promoted? When it comes to next season we will be out of our depth (presuming we are in the Premmie) and guarenteed relegation all because Worthy and the Board didn''t look at the broader horizon.

I agree entirely Damo and would far rather see 900,000 go on Greg Halford at colchester, in fact all season and pre season i have wanted us to sign the guy (big strong Right back center midfield scores goals young and huingry at 19 or 20 now - instead of signing a star from a local side (something I am always happy when we do - Mckenzie, Abbey, Drury) and don''t do often enough (Kitson, Davies, Etherington, Lua Lua) surely we scouted these guys they are only down the road, we have signed failing players from other championship sides.

Personally i am not sure who our scouts are but am slowly beleiving they should be sacked ASAP

Yes

would be a great signing, much better than robinson and a goalscoring midfielder. Just what we need. Sign him up.

Idiakez is fantastic and just the player we are missing. If we dont make a bid we are stupid. I dont care about his age, he is better than most midfielders in this divison - creative and produced quality passes as well as set pieces. He may just have 2 or 3 years left in him but we would get more from him than we will ever get from hughes, etuhu, thingybob and jarrett.

The guy managed to pull all the strings that undid our sorry performance at Pride park last month - would be a great creative foil to Safri imo, even if only as part of our play-off push this year or promotion push next: which let''s be honest is what we ought to looking to build for.

IMO YES.We only have 18 months of parachute money  left, and after that we''d have to start selling again.With Idiakez in the team, we could still make the play-offs this year.  he''s gotta be worth a gamble.  WHATS THAT NIGE, WHATS HIS WORK RATE LIKE? SORRY BOYS, DREAM OVER!

it all depends what Nig thinks  of him? 

if nigel rates him he''s better left where he is!!!

You clearly don''t have much humour in your life!!! :-) I would love us to sign Idiakez but I think it''s unlikely. I''m not sure he''s Worthy''s kind of player. Too much skill and not enough running around like a headless chicken!!!
