Stead makes loan switch to Derby

Stead started his career at Huddersfield
Derby have signed Sunderland striker Jon Stead on loan until the new year.
The 23-year-old goes straight into the Rams squad for their trip to Plymouth on Sunday and will stay with the club until 2 January 2007.

Stead has fallen out of favour at the Stadium of Light since the arrival of Roy Keane as manager in August.

Keane said: "As much as I want to keep as many players as I can, if it looks like they are not going to get many games they should go out and play."

Stead was a £1.8m signing from Blackburn in 2005 but has scored just twice in 40 appearances for the Black Cats.

The arrivals of Dwight Yorke and David Connolly on transfer deadline day pushed him further down the pecking order.

I beg to differ!

I beg to differ!

our lightening forwards have scored a couple between them all season.

OK Steed may have not even have played yet, but then Dickov came from the same boat when he joined us, he was playing reserve team football. He will start scoreing for Dreyb very soon and I hope the feck its not against us in Nov.

I agree, not too disappointed at all too have missed out on Stead, if we were ever interested in the first place, would definately prefer Gallagher out of the two.

Paves the way for our Peschisolido swoop

I would be surprised to see that happen, Billy Davies tried to sign Pesch on loan whilst manager of PNE, I think he rates him quite highly.

I would really like to see Gallacher or even Akinbiyi, who works hard, has power and pace and certainly scores for fun at this level.

 

[Hazzman]

Stead would be good under the right manager but I dont RK is that kinda of manager to boost his morale.

He'll be back at Huddersfield in a year.

Isn't he injured?

Not sure I want to see Ade's bare chest again though:icon_bigg

Lets hope so (as long as its not Welsh of course)

 

[SilverFox]

Akin bad buy will never ever return.

Thank **** for that!

 

[SilverFox]

If it is Welsh I wouldn't be too dissapointed TBH. I thought he did alright for us when he was here. He would provide another option on the left or right of midfield...

Tranmere want to sign Everton's teenage striker James Vaughan on loan, to enable him to get his fitness back. (Daily Mirror)

He wouldnt be bad at City.

why bring in another wide midfielder though surely what little money we do have could be better spent on a loan striker.

 

[PFKAKTF FOX]

Akin bad buy will never ever return.

Thank **** for that!

Don't agree his record at this level is excellent and IMO would be a far better option than any of our current crop of strikers.

He would never get a fair go here.
