Chris Maguire: Could make loan move

Derby manager Nigel Clough has revealed that Chris Maguire could be set for a loan spell away from Pride Park, with clubs in England and Scotland tracking the striker.

Maguire has made just eight appearances, starting on three occasions, since joining the Rams from SPL club Aberdeen in the summer.

He has not featured for the first team since the home defeat by Hull on November 19 and is finding it difficult to break into what is a settled match-day squad.

Clough feels a loan spell would give the 23-year-old the opportunity to get some much-needed games under his belt.

"That might be the best thing for Chris in the second half of the season. He is getting frustrated because he has been used to playing pretty much all the time in the last two or three seasons, so it is difficult when that happens and you are not involved week in, week out," Clough told the Derby Telegraph.

"But anybody who has been outside the 16 or 18 in the last six weeks is going to find it difficult to break into the squad because we have lost only one of our last eight games.

"We have had inquiries from a couple of clubs in Scotland and a couple in England as well."

here has only been 3 players who made me hold my breath in dread when they picked the ball up anywhere near our penalty area...in their prime Scholes and Giggs... and always Drogba. Awesome player who on his day was the best striker in the world in my opinion.

remember him scoring a 25-yarder, either the season just gone or the one before, against Bolton at the Reebok. I've never seen a ball hit that hard before in my entire life. You could almost feel the shockwave from his foot contacting it 40 yards away in the stands. Didier Droga. You might not have loved him, but you just had to be in awe of him.

den Hazard, def. - 1) that girl in a club who makes eyes at you all night, who allows you to buy her a drink and walk her home arm in arm, who then gives you a suggestive kiss on her doorstep before declaring how tired she is and how she has to be up early the next day. 2) A cock tease.
