Just after an update on will hughes, I know we've watched and tracked him before, has he not progressed? Only seen him a couple times last season and looked promising. Cheers

{Ed001's Note - he had a few injury problems and so no one went for him. They have investment now, so he would be more expensive than ever.}

Will Hughes had a nasty injury. I believe it was a rupture of his ACL.

He made his comeback towards the end of last season. He did well settling back in - the games I watched anyway. Derby have high hopes for him but may struggle to hold onto him for much longer. The 'word on the street' is, Derby will look to sell Jeff Hendrik if it means keeping Hughes for another season. Derby will look for promotion this season and may hang onto him if they do.

I maintain he isn't good enough for Liverpool - unless we are happy settling with becoming a high-mid table team - which I guess we are at the moment to be fair.

Also, as the Ed stated, Derby have Mel Morris now. He made shedloads on Candy Crush. He is a Derby fan and wants the best for the club. Expect massive investments in the infrastruture. If anyone can afford to hang onto Hughes, Mel Morris can.
