I'd be willing to bet Jamie's not at Derby at the start of next season if they make it to the Premiership Matt. They're looking for back-up for Martin ..... IMO Jamie is better than Doyle if they move him up front, but they don't do it. And Jamie's behind loanee Jordan Ibe in the pecking order too. To get the 20 goal striker you have to give the man what he wants.
Nobody, and I really mean nobody, would pay £1 million for Jamie Ward. I'd take him off Derby's hands with glee and he might well do what Doyle's done in Division 1 or 2, but Championship teams have seen that he's just a good player at their level. Doyle's potential value is that he might have found something special that he can repeat. I don't believe he has, but I've been wrong a million times as this site shows! If he could do 20+ goals at a higher level he'd be Jamie Ward+. For Derby that would return millions in Sky-money, and if Ipswich are interested why wouldn't Derby be willing to take a chance too?
If the Blades' rumour were right would you take £750,000 + Higdon? We weren't depressed by pre-season rumours we might be landing him were we?
