Savage: Expensive taste in cars

Savage came under fire last season for turning up at training in a new Mercedes CL AMG and a report this week claimed he had "roared into training" in a Lamborghini despite being dropped from the team.

However, Savage told the club's official website: "What car I buy or drive in no way affects how hard I am trying for Derby County and how much I want to get back in the team

"I just want to get back in the team and play well.

"It's been a tough start to the season and we need a league win. That's what we are focused on."

"savage has earned plenty of money before coming to derby. I blame the manager/charman /scouts who put together his deal without first seeing if he was still up to his previous fitness levels.You cant expect a player to say dont pay me 20 grand per week ill take 500 quid cos i am well past my best ."
