Horton: No bids in for Barnes

 

By Steve Nicholson

 

Derby County say they have not received any offers for midfielder Giles Barnes.

 

The 18-year-old was left out of the 16 on duty for last night's 1-0 Championship victory over Burnley at Pride Park.

 

This has sparked further speculation over his future at the club with the transfer window set to close at midnight tonight.

 

Barnes has continually been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur but Rams managing director Mike Horton said before the Burnley game: "If the number of people who have been reported as being interested in Giles phoned me, I would be a very busy man.

 

"We have still not had any serious phone calls about him."

 

First-team coach Julian Darby said Barnes had been left out because of squad rotation.

 

"We have strength in depth. There will be changes and players will be rested," he added. "Giles played against Bristol Rovers on Saturday, as did Seth Johnson and Richard Jackson, who were also not involved against Burnley."

 

Derby have made five signings during the January window, splashing out around £3.7m on David Jones, Craig Fagan, Gary Teale, Stephen Pearson and Jay McEveley.

 

Manager Billy Davies would also like to add West Ham United full-back Tyrone Mears to his squad, possibly on loan, and is keen on bringing in another striker.

 

But Horton said he did not expect "fireworks" on the final day of transfer business.

 

He suggested one or two may come in and one or two could leave, adding: "I can't see there being any huge revelations but the window means one phone call could change all that.

 

"If the price is right and the opportunity is there, we will always look to take advantage of it."

 

The official close of play today is midnight but the funds or deposits for significant transfers must be lodged within normal banking hours.

No coz spurs bid for him and he said martin jols was the bestest manager eva and he always wanted to play for spurs and turned down millons of dollars to become a bar code, but then the nasty derby people chained him up and wouldnt let him go.

Glad tbh.

 

£2-5 to 3m was way too cheap. Nothing less than £5m, if promoted much more.

 

Hopefully Derby push for promotion, i reckon spending close to £4m themselves is them taking a chance, and i hope it pays off. I'm surprised more teams in the Championship didn't take a chance especially with the news of the extra £20m per club next season.

 

I also believe they have bought very very well. Some good names there, those 5 players should make an excellent squad for Derby to finish the season with.
