cambridgeshire canary 6,691 Posted July 5, 2020 Beacause otherwise I honestly don't understand why they keep starting. Can Someone explain what Drmic has over Idah, or Duda over.. pretty much anyone else in the squad? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,743 Posted July 5, 2020 I don't know and I don't know. Hope that helps. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Icecream Snow 761 Posted July 5, 2020 I don't know either. But since it's such a stupid idea, I say No. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,800 Posted July 5, 2020 Yes, we've decided to invent a new contract clause that benefits the club in no way whatsoever and given it to two ****e players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Midlands Yellow 3,969 Posted July 5, 2020 I think a few players other than those two certainly do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted July 5, 2020 I'd love it if it was the case, as it would mean Farke hasn't temporarily completely lost the plot. Still, they say you learn more from your mistakes than your successes, so by that logic Farke could come out of this a genius. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Branston Pickle 3,651 Posted July 5, 2020 (edited) It certainly appears that some people here seem to think they have a “certain number of starts” clause in terms of threads on this site.... Edited July 5, 2020 by Branston Pickle 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mason 47 1,376 Posted July 5, 2020 With Drmic no. With Duda it isn't impossible. Liverpool are well known for loan clauses that make their players a great deal more expensive if they aren't starting games and I don't think it's uncommon. Could be the case with Duda as Herta (at the time) probably wanted to sell him or get him in the shop window as the manager didnt rate him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFN FC 1,123 Posted July 5, 2020 I'm convinced that Drmic is blackmailing DF! Something like "you will start me or I will play my music again" 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Harry53 209 Posted July 5, 2020 Maybe we could loan Drmic out to Kings Lynn reserves next season? Certainly don't want to see him play for City again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's possible for a loan player, especially a young dude where the parent club wants game time. I'd be surprised if Duda was the case. Probably more of the case that the club don"t want to be seen to have ballsed up another loan opportunity like Roberts and Amadou. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea, I know it seems like a little bit of a reach. I just don't think he's shown anything since the first 45 against Bournemouth to really justify being picked as a player that DEFINITELY won't be with us next year, instead of someone who potentially will- Vrancic, Stiepermann, play Rupp and move one of the young'uns to #10, or even Idah. I don't really see that Hertha (or Duda for that matter) would have agreed to the loan unless there was a real incentive for him to be playing and put himself in the shop window, and God knows he hasn't shown he's worth the start thus far.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted July 5, 2020 I don't want to see Duda play for us again. Not here next season, so no reason to play him in terms of team development and his contribution since he arrived has been poor - his set pieces some of the worst I have seen. Give the others some PL experience. As for Drmic, he is one of ours for next season, but it is hard to see much in him. Maybe the plan is to give him as much time as possible on the pitch to try and get him up to speed, but I'd rather see a young Idah get the experience. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
