Hulse deal finally goes through
Derby Evening Telegraph — ROB Hulse has finally completed his move from Derby County to Queens Park Rangers. The transfer, which was agreed shortly before Tuesday's deadline, has now been ratified by the Football League. Hulse has signed a three-year deal with QPR, who are believed to have paid Derby £750,000 for the striker, plus add-ons. The 30-year-old was into the final 12 months of his contract at Pride Park, so manager Nigel Clough decided to accept the bid for him. Hulse, who joined Derby for £1.75m from Sheffield United two years ago, scored 31 goals in 96 appearances for the Rams.
11 hours agoKris Commons in pledge to win back his Scotland place
Derby Evening Telegraph — KRIS Commons believes he can break back into the Scotland squad – despite being overlooked for the upcoming Euro 2012 qualifying openers. Commons missed out on a place in Craig Levein's squad for the double header against Lithuania and Liechtenstein. The Derby County forward has been capped six times for Scotland but the last of those came almost a year ago, in a World Cup qualifier against Holland in September 2009. Since then, Commons has been plagued by injury problems but he has made an impressive start to the 2010-11 campaign. He has scored twice in the Championship so far, although...

Derby Evening Telegraph — CHIEF executive Tom Glick has defended the sale of Derby County striker Rob Hulse. Hulse's move to Queen's Park Rangers, where he will sign a three-year deal, was still to be ratified by the Football League late last night. The fee for the 30-year-old is undisclosed.

Hulse and Luke Varney, who has joined Blackpool on a season-long loan, have left Pride Park in the past w...
September 2, 2010Deal in place for Chris Wood to join Rams on loan
Derby Evening Telegraph — DERBY County say they have an agreement in place to sign West Bromwich Albion striker Chris Wood on loan. The Rams were on the verge of landing the 18-year-old New Zealand international before the transfer window closed on Tuesday but injuries to other West Brom forwards held up the deal. Roman Bednar and Ishmael Miller picked up injuries and Wood found himself on the bench for Sunday's Premier League clash against Liverpool at Anfield. Wood could be available once the window for emergency loans opens next week, if West Brom's injuries have cleared up. "We are looking to go straight back into ...
September 2, 2010Opinion is split over big Rob's departure but time will tell if it is right move
Derby Evening Telegraph — THE sale of Rob Hulse was always going to split opinion. That is not surprising, because there are two very different trains of thought as the Rams' leading scorer in the past two seasons heads for Queens Park Rangers. Thirty one goals in 96 appearances for Derby, a strike ratio of one in three, is proof that a fit Hulse is a formidable centre forward at Championship level. He has been Derby's arch goal threat by some distance since he signed from Sheffield United for £1.75m two years ago and his goals played a significant part in steering the Rams clear of deep trouble in the Championship. Hi...

Derby have landed the 22-year-old former Real Madrid forward on a season-long loan from Spanish club Real Valladolid. Coach Johnny Metgod's contacts played a big part in the deal.
