Giles Barnes
Giles Barnes is released and his contract cancelled
Derby County have sensationally cancelled the contract of midfielder Giles Barnes. Barnes was one of the most promising players to emerge from the Derby County Academy in recent years and was at his best valued at £7m.

Injury since the Play-off final against WBA have since seen Barnes on the side-lines and treatment table for the last year and his move to the Premiership fell through after his fitness was not good enough for the Cottagers. He will now be free to seek a move to any club on a free transfer in January.

The loss of any future transfer money from Barnes is a big blow to the Rams owners who are still seeking to bring in money from player sales to lower the club debt but have now lowered the wage bill be another few percentage points...
