To be honest Devon what you've said I thought about that when Derby were in the playoff final against QPR. Would Ward be still at Derby if they had made it to the Premier League or sold. If we could afford him I would take Ward back at Chesterfield because he was a fantastic player especially when he partnered Jack or Steve Fletcher upfront. Is Ward worth a £1 million? difficult to say he would be probably about £500k but a Derby fan I know said he's worth £1 million.

We've seen two players in the past Caleb Folan and Jordan Bowery both make the big step up to the Premier League, Folan went to Wigan and Bowery at Villa and now Bowery is at Rotherham and Folan is at some team in Burmese who are equivalent to League 2 or conference.

IMO I think Doyle is better off stopping at Chesterfield because he's scoring goals and getting played nearly every game, if he goes to the Championship or even the Premier League he may become a bench warmer he may not who knows. I wouldn't accept £750k + Higdon off United. I think a few fans were annoyed we didn't land him but after seeing him action we are probably glad we didn't because he would have been another Gritton.
