ANDY Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Sam Winnall appears to have no plans to return to Sheffield Wednesday before the end of his Derby County loan spell. Winnall is expected to be out for six to nine months after undergoing surgery to repair a damaged anterior cruciate ligament earlier in February. And the striker has already indicated via his Instagram account that he has begun his rehabilitation at Derby rather than Sheffield Wednesday. Speaking to RamsTV over the weekend, he has since revealed his intention to remain at Pride Park and use his positivity behind the scenes to inspire his teammates to promotion to the Premier League. "So far I have loved my time here," said Winnall. "I love working with the staff, payers and everyone at the football club. "The injury was terrible and terrible timing with the run-in but I feel I have got other things to give within the squad and dressing room. "I feel as though my positivity – not on the pitch – but in and around the training ground every day can help the team and hopefully help us succeed. "I may not be able to help on the pitch until the end of the season, but I definitely can behind the scenes. "I’ll be doing everything I can to remain positive and help in any way I can." Winnall, who has registered seven goals and two assists in seven league starts this season, is under contract until 2020 at Sheffield Wednesday. It is currently unclear as to whether or not Derby have an option to turn the 27-year-old's deal permanent, although early indications suggest a willingness from both the Rams and Winnall to do so.

whatdial Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 That’s good let’s up the price so they have to pay it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 One of the top scorers in the Championship over the last 18 months. Not to be sold on the cheap. Not when your Gary Madines are going for £6m after scoring 1/3rd of the amount Winnall has at this level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Realistically I don't think we should ask for more than £20m 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if he doesn't want to be here then Derby can have him for £7m+ add ons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asteener1867 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Why should he? He can stay at Derby til the end of his loan spell..He can't play for the rest of the season...What on earth would we want him back for?

The Hoppy Hopper Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Getting a decent price for him could make a big difference to FFP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Newsome Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Doubt he'll be fit for the next 9 months isn't it the same injury FF has had? If he's fit for the summer flog him for £5-6M and put it in the pot to strengthen, along with possible money coming in for the likes of Westwood and whoever else Jos wants to move on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMOwl72 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) Cash in for me but if Derby get promoted they won't want him. If they don't they can't afford him. Edited February 19, 2018 by GMOwl72 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
agentwalker Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I think he probably doesn't understand that if Derby do get promoted there's slim chance they'll sign him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Rider Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 There is the slight matter of a contract. So not entirely his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
