Palace sign Derry

By Phil Hay
Shaun Derry's move from Leeds United to Crystal Palace has been finalised.
The London club asked last week to convert Derry's loan at Selhurst Park into a permanent transfer last week and United and Palace held fresh talks yesterday and his exit was confirmed on Tuesday afternoon.

Initial discussions were held between Dennis Wise and Neil Warnock last Wednesday, and the clubs have now agreed a fee for the 30-year-old.

Derry was under contract at Elland Road until the summer of 2009, and United were initially believed to value him at around £300,000.

Palace have been reluctant to pay over the odds for the former Portsmouth and Sheffield United player, but Derry made a major impact during his recent loan spell at Selhurst Park.

Warnock wanted Derry's signature before the club's next game at Leicester City a week today.

Derry joined Palace in November on a two-month deal which culminated in a 2-0 victory over Bristol City on Saturday. He made a total of 12 appearances in matches which yielded an astonishing total of 30 points.
Palace were in the Championship's relegation zone when he moved to the capital, but his loan concluded last weekend with Warnock's squad in fifth position.

Derry has not made a competitive outing for Leeds since their FA Cup third round defeat at West Bromwich Albion in January of last year, and his departure has been expected ever since he was allowed to head south.

The midfielder had just recovered from 10 months on the sidelines with a heel injury when he moved to London on November 19, and a failed attempt by Wise to recall him from his loan before United's game against Oldham Athletic on New Year's Day appeared to spell the end of Derry's career at Leeds.

Wise argued that Derry had rejected his request to return to Elland Road amid a chronic shortage of midfielders. But the loan agreement with Palace did not contain a recall clause, and Warnock later insisted that he had blocked the bid from United to take Derry back to Yorkshire.
A permanent deal with Palace has removed one of the higher earners from the wage bill at Elland Road, and may also offer fresh funds to Wise during the final week of the transfer window.

United's manager has committed most of his January budget to signing Neil Kilkenny, Peter Sweeney and Bradley Johnson for around £500,000, but he is still keen to add a centre-back and a striker to his squad.

Leeds, meanwhile, were hoping to give a handful of their fringe players a run-out during this afternoon's reserve clash with Rotherham United, but the match has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch at Millmoor.

The game was originally re-arranged for February 13, but the clubs have now confirmed that their reserve sides will meet on April 29.

£300.000 up front then? (Ikke £150 k + £150 k)

Da har vi penger til nyinnkjøp!

Han hadde sikkert også altfor god lønn for L1

Tviler på at vi fikk 300 000 £ hvis dette var prisen Leeds gikk inn i forhandlinger med palace. ("Derry was under contract at Elland Road until the summer of 2009, and United were initially believed to value him at around £300,000.) Her hadde palace gode forhandlingskort og jeg vil tro de har fått presset prisen ned ytterligere fra den allerede lave prisantydningen.

Regner med at det ikke tar så mange dagene før Warnock/Palace begynner å 'skryte' over hvor billig de fikk Derry, og antyder hvilken overgangssum det dreier seg om...

Uansett en stor lettelse for lønnsbudsjettet til Leeds, iom at Derry sannsynligvis har hatt en årslønn opp mot £500.000 - dvs omtrent det samme som Leeds har betalt i transfersummer for de nye spillerne.

"Sympatiske" Warnock kommer nok til å gni det inn ja, men så har da også Palace langt større grunn enn oss til å være fornøyd med denne handelen. 

Vi får i det minste håpe at Derry holder kjeft nå så vi slipper mer offentlig skittentøyvask.

"He was nearly going for nothing at one stage, but we've ended up getting money for him and we've cleared his wages."

Wise har tydeligvis ikke tenkt å la Warnock gni noe som helst inn. Dette virker som en litt merkelig uttalelse, men faktum er at det blir vanskelig for Warnock å komme med noen skadefro uttalelser nå.

Uansett betyr nok dette at vi fikk relativt lite for Derry og at den høye lønnen var grunnen til det, i tillegg til "offisiell" klinsj med managerteamet, selvsagt.

Synd at klubbene rakk å sluttføre denne handelen. Nå som Wise er ute er det stor sjanse for at Derry kunne fortsatt i det minste ut sesongen. Et opprykk betyr langt mer i pund og pence enn en lønna til Derry.

Ja, nå kunne Shaun ha fått lov til å briljere igjen på Elland Road. Det er altfor mye kortsiktig tankegang innen fotballen.
