Rooney says in the article it's something from when Page managed him for the U21s? I'd be surprised if that was true Either way, I think this is just Rooney trying to drum up interest and put a few million more onto Lawrence's price tag. Derby will need to sell their best assets, and saying you have a Welsh international probably helps. Rooney specifically mentions that Lawrence is one of Wales' best players too - seems like that's the motive I find that hard to believe, Lawrence was about 23 by the time Page took over the under 21s wasn't he? Fair point. Page appointed U21 manager in March 2017 as per Wiki...
Still. Roo is right. Lawrence is the man!

He was annonamous yesterday, all Derby's attacking play centered around Ebiowei.

Derby County manager Wayne Rooney says Wales boss Robert Page needs to "get over" his "history" with Tom Lawrence and recall the Rams captain. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/61058712Wonder what the 'history is'? Strange one this as It’s hard to work out when their paths would have crossed for them to have any ‘history’. Saying that, Rooney has been firing off all sorts this last week or so with comments on Ronaldo and his call for Saturday’s ref to be banned and fined. To be fair, at least the article lists the correct players that have been picked ahead of Lawrence in Bale, Moore, James, Wilson Johnson and Matondo. It would have been easy for them to look on social media and say that players like Williams and Vaulks have been selected instead of him, despite playing in different positions to Lawrence. |

I had heard previously that they've had a bust up in the past, no clear cut evidence though so didn't want to stir up the rumour too much but this might suggest there is some substance to it.

He deserved a call up on performance this season, if the history is with page then i think page needs to get over it. If it involves other players then page is probably right to leave him out. Doubt we'll ever find out. Thats always been an issue with welsh football we dont get impartial journalists.. Its all tight knit ex players who know not to ask. Maybe thats a good thing as we have a good squad mentality! Well thats what we are told. |

I think that degree of separation is a bit of a safety bubble - something not many teams have in the modern era But you can imagine the English press would be on it like a fly on sh*t if they heard there was discord in the England camp |

Interesting.
Having watched Swansea-Derby, he was completely anonymous. That being said, he has got more ability than Mark Harris and would provide more of a goal threat if he was called upon from the bench.

Festy Ebosele is joining udinese not Ebiowei. I've been given false information! Ebosele's Irish isn't he? They seem to be building a decent team of young talent atm |

Didn't see the game, but reports are that our Tom was MOTM in the victory v Fulham. County are now only nine points from safety!

I saw most of it, and am very surprised to hear that. He wasn't in the game at all. He did set up the winner, although that was a scuffed shot. Wilson was also very ineffective whilst Neco was definitely the best out of the three. |

I wonder what will become of him? He’s out of contract so a fairly low risk signing. I reckon he’ll sign for West Brom or one of the relegated sides from the prem. I could really see him at Leeds, in fact |

“When you've got a formula, and I'm a loyal manager and man... when you've got that success and you're winning, it's very hard to change it” Says the bloke who brought in Sorba Thomas when things were already ticking over nicely 😂 Whatever the reasons are, Page is pissing up our leg and telling us it’s raining there. Lawrence’s face doesn’t fit and I doubt we’ll find out the real reasons unless one of them releases a book. |

Lawrence’s face doesn’t fit and I doubt we’ll find out the real reasons unless one of them releases a book. I get what you're saying but I think in this case Lawrence doesn't fit with Page's formula whereas Sorba's infectious attitude combined with the fact that he's a very versatile and useful player and has something that very few of our players have, fantastic set piece delivery and crossing ability, makes him someone that Page thinks can slot into any squad and be an asset, he can come into the group and keep the positivity flowing. |
