Poom starts to make noises.

All the quotes below are courtasy of BBC Sport.

"Derby's valuation is too much in the current market situation," Poom told BBC Sport Online.

"Everton have made a very good offer and Derby are no longer a Premiership club, though of course they have the right to ask for that much money.

"Derby have already turned two or three bids down from Everton.

"The parties are quite a way apart and at the moment it doesn't look like I'm going to be leaving Derby, though you can never say never.

"John Gregory has told me that I am very much part of his plans and that he wants me to stay, even though every player has his price."

So, we can get two things from this. He wants to leave, thats for sure, but he doesn't want to piss off the Derby fans in case he doesn't. I'd expect him to get lounder and louder as the start of the season creeps ever closer.
