Derby midfielder Giles Barnes insists he would be happy to stay at Pride Park if he does not sign for Fulham on a permanent basis.

FOOTBALL Gilles Barnes Derby County 2009 - 0

The 20-year-old recently returned to Derby following an injury-hit loan spell with the Cottagers.

Barnes, who is currently recovering from an Achilles tendon operation, told the Derby Telegraph: "I've been told that Fulham have gone back to Derby a couple of times since I returned - but it's all down to price.

"If it comes off, that would be great - but I'm a Derby player and they've looked after me. I'd be happy to stay here if it's not meant to be."

  1. nobody wants him back at Pride Park anyway. He's­ not Premiership standard anyway...even if he does think­ so himself.

  2. If you took the time to read things David w you will­ notice that these players you are talking about are for­ the reserves team which is affectivley a young­ development team , plus the odd player coming back from­ injury .. i would get your facts straight before you­ try and be a smart@r$e on these pages

  4. yeah look at burnley and reading as examples.
    neither­ have or had big expensive star signings and look where­ they got.

  5. Im cutting and pasting this to shove down the­ disbelievers throats next season
    It will take more than­ Barnes to save the Sheep next­ season. The players­ Cloughie's signing are nearly­ all non-league and­ if they wait for a couple of seasons­ they'll be­ back there with the Sheep

    in reality ..just because he­ is not throwing silly millions at players means­ nothing, he is recruiting players who are motivated by­ what they have yet to accomplish in the game, he,ll­ also splash a bit of cash as he feels he needs to.­ Cloughie is planning for the long term .. I feel­ priveledged to have him at the club.

  7. I wouldnt be disappointed to see Barnes go. Derby have­ stuck by him and he obviously thinks he can acheive­ better things elsewhere so we should let him go. He is­ not in the same league as Huddlestone, that was a real­ disappointment.

  8. Derby have stood by him through a lot of injuries he­ should stay and pay back the club and the fans. Too­ many good players leave derby maybe they should stay­ for a change and help to get us back where we belong in­ the premiership
