I think Jamie does have a value to Derby, but it's different from the value other teams would put on him. A recent record of scoring goals inflates a player's value massively. Jamie isn't in position to score as many as he might at Derby. Daft Rotherham might pay £300,000 for him and find they'd bagged a bargain instead of their usual planks ..... but there wouldn't be loads of competition.

I just think Derby have so much to gain if the Doyle gamble worked ..... and you have to take into account how much his value would rise if he stayed with us and got 18 more in the second half of the season. If you wait to see him confirm his form then your rivals become the big boys with the deep pockets.

Gary Roberts and Tommy Lee are worth quite a lot to us, but would they command much of a fee? Don't think so now.

Think Caleb is in Malaysia. Jordan won't succeed till he comes back to be our centre forward. Neither really made the grade; I hope Doyle gets the same chance and can seize it. The fact that he was decent without shining at Hibernian must put doubts in the minds of even desperate managers.

One more scenario for you Matt. Imagine Doyle stays; delivers the goals (37 for the season). We make the play-offs. By a miracle Wembley delivers us accidental Championship football. Do we cash in on Doyle to finance the new players we need; do we keep him so we'll be good enough to grab some goals against the bigger clubs?
