Hi,I’m form Greece and I’m a fan of both Leeds and Olympiakos…In my opinion Derbyshire is a hard working player,but he’s not a top goal scorer.He has scored some important goals including the 3-3 equaliser at the 93rd minute at the cup final against AEK Athens and the winning goal away at the home of Panathinaikos.He can play better and score more when he’s partened by another striker in front,but when he’s alone he hardly puts the ball in the net.If Beckford was still in Leeds,he would make a great duo with Derbyshire,but with the strikers currently at Leeds,I don’t know if he will make a big difference…I think he will be a usefull signing for Leeds,and if he finally leaves Olympiakos,I will thank him for the crucial goals he scored here in Greece,and wish him good luck at Leeds and hope he scores a lot at Elland Road!!!

Good luck to Enoch I say, I know we all had a laugh at his expense given the sitters he missed, but this guy went through a huge trauma where he nearly lost his life. I bet he’ll be a huge success at Tranmere.

Derbyshire would be a quality signing, as would (for me) Darel Russel of Norwich providing we can persuade him to come as i believe he was spotted at a Preston match last week.

Derbyshire, Watt, Russell and O’Brien…i would take any 2/3 of these players and be confident of a mid table finish nex year. or even Jay DeMerit

Get the training staff to put Robinson through a strict training regime to lose the lard, hey presto a CCL player of worth.
Does anyone hav any insight that Larry and Robinson don’t get on? I really rated this guy when he first came to us.

Hi Kyle, nice of you to offer us a first-hand insight. At the moment, I’d be happy with any signing at all, but I can’t see this one happening anyway. Betfair have spent all summer linking us to one random name after another.

Hi I’m a Blackburn fan and am somewhat surprised that some of you wouldn’t want Derbyshire at your club. He is a brilliant talent and an out and out goalscorer who has already shown signs of Premiership quality. You have to bear in mind that the majority of his Blackburn appearances were from the bench so that makes his scoring record look a little weak for us. And the only reason Big Sam got rid was due to him not offering much more than just goals to his game. We badly missed him last season. He’d easily be a top scorer contender in the Championship.

In all fairness, Grayson has done a wonderful job so far, so i wont slate him. He’s got us out of league 1, he hasn’t had any major cock ups. He’s Leeds through and through, so why shouldn’t he be here at Christmas? For once, can’t we just support someone without slating them even before a season has begun? He’s a lot better than we’ve had before, and we could do a hell of a lot worse.
