Two comments on Varney & 1 plus point

bibble

1. Why did the club agree to letting him play against us, its naive of the club or did we have to agree as we are so skint that Derby took the piss?

2. After celebrating the first goal, he should never wear the shirt again even if he is sent back to us, he is on loan FFS, no class whatsoever.

Plus point form tonight, if Parky can make the team realise that these late goals happen in football, especially when your luck is down, and that they, as a team, improved a huge amount then we may have a chance of staying up.

Don't forget that we signed McElvey or however his name is spelt, from Derby, and presumably had he been fit he would have played against his former club. There are no rules on loanees playing against their former clubs in the Championship, that rule only operates in the premiership.

As for his celebrating the goal, I didn't see it, he's no longer our responsibility and Derby pay his wages and employ him. when the transfer window opens the paperwork will be sorted and he'll formally become a Derby player. in the event that they change their mind at the 11th hour, then I'd expect another Midlands team to sign him.

I would guess the club are desperate to get him off our books so agreed to let him play against us which is fair enough.

As for celebrating, i don't blame him after our tw@s booing him.

Varney is a nothing player and will barely raise a mention by our support in a few seasons time.

He'll only be mentioned when we're slating Pardew for his many totally intept signings.

the exception being when we remember his two goals against Palace in February.

Thought is interview after the game was horrible, showded no remorse at all for us.

Oggy Red

Look, Varney is a Derby player now.

Sure, he signed an 'emergency loan' agreement, which allows him to play for Derby before the transfer window opens in January.

But there is no question of him returning to The Valley.
He's a Derby player now.

Scoham

Yep he's not coming back. Getting over a million for him is pretty good with his goalscoring record in this league.

Off_it

I thought he was proper shite tonight.
I just hope the deal is all signed and sealed and they can't send him back once they twig.

I don't think Varney ever settled in London. He's back in the area where his heart is, end of as far as I'm concerned. I thought he looked a tad ill at ease and he seemed on the outside of things when Derby were warming up. Thought he was making a very concious effort to try and show himself to be part of the Derby team, his applause and signals to other team members seemed exaggerated and OTT. I'm happy to let him get on with it.

We have got bigger problems than worrying about Luke Varney, let's forget him and the rest of the Pardew dross signings and just squeeze as much as we can from the rest of the season.

Oggy Red

Luke tried his hardest for us, but he's gone now.

Let's move on.

Cardinal Sin

The facts are that we have sold Varney to Derby so he's their player and because they are paying however much it is in January, we had no leverage to say no. So you can't blame Varney for acting like the Derby player he is. McEveley by contrast is only on loan and Derby didn't agree to him playing this evening even if he had been fit. Beggars can't be choosers.

Chirpy Red

He is at Derby full time in all but name. Why worry?
He always tried for us.
I thought the booing of him tonight was nothing short of pathetic, but then nothing surprises me with some of the idiots we have as "fans" these days.

Scoham

Never should have been booed. Worked hard and had a good attitude for us, just wasn't the goalscorer Pardew thought he would be.

He showed last season he can get a few goals with some confidence and the pressure taken off him. He's not a regular goalscorer at this level but he can get a few goals.

Certainly not useless or a poor player as some say he is.

tricky

Did he celebrate their goals?

Must have been the only time he was out of our back 4's (particularly Cranie's) pocket all game.

Cranie's best game by a country mile. Actually looked a decent player tonight.

seriously_red

the fans we have are what we are and what we deserve

luv em

Varney gone

Red army !!!!!!!!!!

Southendaddick

A big well done to the club because if Derby would have had a decent striker alongside Ellington we might not have even got a point.

Varney was Varney, bit of running, couple of needless unnnecessary bits of petulance and wouldnt have come close to scoring if we were still playing now.

Hope the few posters on here who seem to adore him can now get a grip and applaud Parkinson etc for getting some decent money back for a League 1 striker.

Ledge

Oh muy god ark at some of you.

You've done nothing but slag the bloke most of the season you wanted rid of him we got rid of him - and now getting on your high horse because he celebrated a goal and showed no remorse - deary me - for his NEW club - he is not a charlton player anymore

Goonerhater

hold on what happens if Varney gets an injury ? whose player is he then ? if its a knee and he is out for 3 months where does he go ?

so he IS our player until Jan

or if we had won and jewell got the boot this morning.
derby new manager might think of better ways of spending the rumoured £1m.

Ledge

yeah fair enough -

SoundAsa£

Couldn't understand the booing of Varney one bit...very undignified by a certain section of our crowd.
Even if he is bloody useless.........well, as a goal scorer anyway.

cfgs

I actually thought Varney had got worse, either that or Derby have asked him to not waste so much energy. He did not look dangerous and his work rate had gone down

nth_london_addick

Lets get things into perspective folks.

Luke Varney showed last night why he can fook right off, What did he offer to Derby last night nothing, nadda, Feck all yes he ran around like a headless chicken yes he out jumped a defender once from 6 yds out and put the ball over the bar but apart from that he did nowt.

So what if he celebrated a goal, so what if people booed him he was booed when he played for us why not when he plays against us

I am glad his gone i hope he does for Derby what he done for us

Barn Door Varney

That was my thinking as well.

Without a high workrate, he looked very poor.

guinnessaddick

We have sold him to Derby, he is their player. £850K rising to £1.5m

Show_Me_The_Mouni

Varney tries hard but anything he does that looks good is just pure fluke.

There is definitely no reason to bag him.

Salad

Do we in fact know that Derby are actually committed to signing him when the loan expires, if not then surely he is coming straight back here based on what we saw last night.
