Rasiak celebrates his second goal for Derby
Grzegorz Rasiak

Murdo plays down Rasiak speculation

Derby County's director of football Murdo Mackay has played down speculation linking the club's leading scorer with a move to West Ham.


Newspaper reports linking Derby County's Grzegorz Rasiak with a move to West Ham have been played down by the club's director of football Murdo Mackay.

Polish newspaper Super Express quoted the player's agent, Giorgio De Giorgis, as saying the newly-promoted club had enquired about Rasiak during the play-offs and were now preparing a £1.5m bid.

The article also quoted the Polish international as saying he'd have a look at an offer if one came in.

But Murdo Mackay was quick to deny Rasiak, who scored 17 goals for the Rams last season, is ready to leave.

He said: "He's just gone on to a new two-year contract and he's intimated to us that he wants to stay at the club.

"Agents are always trying to move players and it's possible Giorgio has been misunderstood. His English isn't the best.

"We've had no indication from the player or his advisers that, having signed a new contract, he was anything other than happy here.

"With players like Greg, you're always going to get speculation and agents are always going to tout their players around other clubs.

"But West Ham haven't made any formal representation and if they did, on a personal level I'd tell them to go away and jump in the Thames."

Why is it that Derby County have become experts at ruining a set-up which has produced such wonderful results ? Murdo Mackay should resign immediately ! The fans will be furious that he has ruined what George Burley has done. Who could blame him going if he sees Mackay upsetting a perfectly good organised team set up. Resign Mackay and allow George to continue his splendid work !
