Uh his loan expires tomorrow so shouldn’t there be some finality by now?

Think its pretty likely he will stay for the season

Or maybe Biamou has signed for Derby

Frank Lampard has said on Derby County TV that he is happy for Luke to stay until the end of the season.

Thanks Frank

Is that a new interview? A couple of days ago he said a decision hadn't been made but he'd probably be staying on loan, which I thought was an ominously carefully worded statement to make.

He said he was happy for him too stay out on loan, Not sure whether it's with us or someone else though. Fingers crossed

If Derby are looking to loan Thomas to the highest bidder then there's no chance of us extending his stay here. However, I genuinely believe Derby and Lampard hold Thomas' development higher than quick cash. Therefore, I see no reason why they wouldn't want him to stay here for the remainder of the season given that he's getting consistent game time, is clearly developing nicely already in his short time with us and has huge support of the vast majority of our fanbase.

So, it may come down to a bidding war but I'd like to think that given Lampard's ethos of giving young players a chance that he'd realise that leaving Thomas exactly where he is, is the best thing for his career.

Thomas is better than Hazard though and Hazard would be warming the bench at best.

Thomas is better than Hazard though and Hazard would be warming the bench at best.

And better than Kwame Thomas who was a "hazard" when it came to our ability to score goals.

Could be risky

It seems to leave a gap in mid-field

Are you trying to say we tabled a bid for someone?

I dont think that one has legs.

 

[covcity4life]

Now we need a winger for other flank

 

[no_loyalty]

Mark Robins not there today hopefully he is dealing

In his black Audi with blacked out windows? Does he really need the money?

 

[Otis]

Maybe someone overheard Robins saying he needs some speed and the next thing you know our manager's been offered some dodgy deals down back alleys in blacked-out windowed cars .

 

[RegTheDonk]

Late Xmas pressie this, great news.

 

[Adge]

Good news. Now we just need some half decent on the other side
