Derby forum on Thorne:
Sounds like he is more of a defensive than attacking midfielder, I was under the impression it was vice versa. Very complementary of him before his injuries (predicting he'd be a PL and even international player), might be worth a gamble on loan like Holmes last year?George Thorne - joined Oxford permanently

He is a DM. A loan hasn't been discussed. Derby want him off their payroll, but his injury issues mean there are few interested clubs.
We believe he failed a medical this week... So a huge risk to take him on.
Our coverage with DMs does mean me may take the risk. Depending if he can get through the medical!
Perhaps he's just got a minor issue at the moment unrelated to the past problems and the club is simply being cautious yond holding back fery a week or two.
