- Robert set for Rams exit
French winger Laurent Robert looks to be on his way out of Derby County after less than three months at Pride Park.
The 32-year-old wideman joined the Rams on a free transfer in January but, after making just four appearances, has reportedly travelled to Canada for a trial with Major League Soccer side Toronto.
The former Newcastle United and Portsmouth player has not started a game for the relegated Rams since the beginning of February.
Meanwhile, Argentine striker Emanuel Villa has vowed to pay back the club's long-suffering supporters with more goals.
The £2million January signing scored his first goals at Pride Park with a brace in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Fulham.
"I'm very happy and very grateful, because not just on the field, but off the field too, people have treated me very well," he said.
"The only way I can pay them back is out there on the park and scoring goals.
"I'm calmly and quietly confident that things will turn out well and I'm sure we'll continue to improve as a team."
