ian1964 10,409 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 In July 2013, it was confirmed by Derby County that Eustace had rejoined the club on trial, with a view to earning a contract[26] and after impressing Nigel Clough in pre-season training and friendly games, Eustace verbally agreed a one-year contract with Derby[27] and the move was made official on 24 July.[28] Eustace was originally expected to play a bit part role and according the then Derby manager Nigel Clough Eustace was to act as cover in his natural central midfield position as well as being an emergency central defender.[29] Eustace came on as a late substitute for Will Hughes in Derby's opening game against Blackburn. His first Derby start was in Derby's 1–0 League Cup win at Oldham Athletic.[30] However, since the return of former Derby County assistant Coach, Steve McLaren, as first team coach, Eustace has been an almost ever present in the Rams midfield. This is perhaps as a result of his stand-out performance in the Rams 4–4 draw with Ipswich Town at Pride Park on 1 October 2013, in which the Rams were trailing 4–1 at half time. Eustace put in a solid and mature performance in midfield, controlling the tempo of the game and helping to drag Derby back to 4–4 thanks to a late equaliser from fellow midfielder Craig Bryson. Eustace has been consistently solid in his second spell at Derby County, adding experience to a young midfield at the club. Eustace scored the first goal of his second stint at the Rams with a looping header against Queens Park Rangers on 10 February 2014, at Pride Park. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Eustace 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I don't want us signing any players well into their 30s unless they are Claudio Caniggia types. Not sure what use there would be for the future in having a 35 year old captain who has just joined. Having been used to signing ageing players with little left to offer, it's understandable to have concerns here. It's almost like an April fools - us signing an injury prone 35 year old as captain. I might understand if he was a special talent. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian1964 10,409 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Weir was 37 when he signed for Rangers as a stop gap signing!,I say again we are playing in the Scottish second division,I'm sure W&W are well aware of what qualities he will bring to the team. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
