    His impressive displays have put him in a strong position. If Derby want to loan him out again he knows he would be first choice for midfield at Bradford. A full season at Valley Parade did Josh Cullen no harm.
    We have to get the full benefit out of our loans next season, it might not be what our owners strategy matches up with but its your best chance of getting some decent young talent at little cost:

    I like Guy - his enthusiasm and tempo are first rate but he doesn’t seem to be able to ‘calm’ the game down, put his foot on the ball and look for a ‘killer’ pass. Everything he does seems so frantic!
    I hope Bermondsey has joined (or will) - I used to enjoy his posts, but the poor guy used to get some grief (undeservingly imo).

    Guy is everything Vincelot should be. He flies into challenges left right and centre and has a real energy and ability to get up and down the pitch. His passing is not the best but for a defensive midfielder I'm more interested on his tackling, which is superb. And as a young lad, he's still got time to develop and fits in with Edin's model but unlike other signings, has proved himself capable at this level.

    I hope we do sign him next year. I can't see derby playing him, they spend fortunes every year and have a lot of similar players already.

    Is that the same way many thought Evans would walk back into Wolves’ team or Cullen would start every week for Bolton? He’s a decent young player, but ready for the Championship? Not for me

    Been decent but nowhere near a Champ player yet, done well but think we've been blinkered by the awfullness of the rest of our midfield of late, a bit like Wyke being over rated due to our other recent strikers been gash. Lad done good though and has the fight to make it in the game.

    Guy has certainly become a popular player in the short time he has been at VP and is, rightly so, earning excellent reviews for his whole hearted performances. However, I suspect the only chance we will have of having him back next year will be if Derby get promoted to the PL. Then we might have him on loan for the season or possibly purchase. I have no idea though of what his worth is likely to be, but if he does become available his appearances for us will have alerted other clubs as well. If he were to come back on loan much would also depend on the feedback he gives Derby on the way he has been looked after at VP; the coaching and development he has received and what his views are in respect the poor run of form - and why - the team has gone through from when he first joined on loan. I hope we do see him here next season that's for sure.

    Danny Devine needs to take a good look at how Callum Guy approaches a game if he has any ideas of making it as a professional footballer. From reading the comments from Derby fans they rate Guy highly and think he is worth a first team squad place.
    Not sure we would get him back next season.

    He needs to play alongside a creative midfielder who has a good passing game. His energy, commitment and tackling are first rate, but at the moment he is not a good passer of the ball. I am not sure if that could be coached, but as a defensive midfielder, first rate for League 1 plus potential for the Championship level certainly.

    If we get chance I'd snap this lad up on a perm if possible but if not a season long loan. Looks a decent defensive midfielder at this level with bags of potential

    The owners will have to ditch their stupid strategy if they want success.
    Carry on being Stubborn and they can kiss goodbye to progression.

    The lads certainly got a good attitude and heart. He could do with a full season in league 1 then step up to the championship the following season. We will be in a strong position if Derby decide to loan him back out to league1 and I pretty much think Callum will have some input on the decision.

    Not often do you get a loan signing putting as much effort as him. Very similar to Cullen who had a similar ethic.
    He is getting better the more he plays and I think he will be playing for Derby next year.

    He takes about 10/15 mins to get going but shows a lot more drive and ambition than most of our own players. Next season him or someone like him as well as a playmaker are 2 players this club screams out for.

    I certainly wouldn't complain if he came back for a full season

    Fantastic little player with a very committed attitude.
    Put one or two of our own professionals in the shade with his combative performances.
    Would like him to come back but Derby rate him so I guess the balls firmly in their court.

    Callum has a great attitude, but that is a minimum expectation of a pro footballer with aspirations of playing at a higher level. He needs a couple more like minded loanees around him in order for him and therefore the team to benefit. Otherwise, he's wasted.

    Fair summation .....
    Pretty much as I see it. The lad is far from the 'finished product', but has the makings to be it.
    As you suggest, City have next to no chance, unless Derby hit the big time - But even so ..... only a loan, and that is hoping Derby don't want an increase on what we are currently paying them. Anybody ITK about that ?

    Not sure about that they saw enough about him to give him a long contract. I am sure he will be at least in their squad next season

    He was given a long contract because they see the long term future in the boy. Just because they tied him down doesn’t mean he’s ready for 1st team duties.
