Gilles Barnes, another product of the Derby academy, today stated his desire to play for Derby in the Premier league.Linked with Spurs since his old room-mate Huddlestone left the club, Barnes was quoted as saying "it was Arsenal, and not Tottenham, who were my favourite club when I was growing up and so I am looking forward to the chance of playing for Derby at Emirates Stadium."
I can't help but think it would have been different had Derby not won their play-off on Monday. At least, come 2008, he will have played a full season in the Premier league, should Spurs try for his services again.
