Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (62 Viewers)

[pusbccfc]

I get what you are saying, but this hasn't really happened in this case. Largely, the only ones saying he was worth ridiculous sums were posters on here. It seems to me blaming injuries is an easy way to avoid admitting we went overboard.

It's been three seasons and he's still here. The demand was never really there.

People always overpriced Sheaf but he was still worth a lot of money 18 months ago. We have kept him and he's worth very little now.

We haven't sold anyone for serious money since Hamer. A few million from the Gyokeres sell on and Binks leaving doesn't cover the money we've been spending.

To Southampton Doug? That’s insane

 

[pusbccfc]

Bad enough to sell him but to sell to a championship rival would kill our season

Did it kill our season when we sold Hamer?

 

[Shannerz]

If the right offer comes in, then any of our players are for sale. The club isn't going to want to risk another Sheaf situation.

However, you'd think to get Rudoni it would have to be a fairly preposterous fee.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Did it kill our season when we sold Hamer?

Did we sell him to a team in the same league?

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Not us then

 

[SHUNT31]

Did it kill our season when we sold Hamer?

Where were you that season?

Our midfield was absolutely wank. Had we had a decent CM, we probably make the playoffs.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Not us then

Didnt really make much sense anyway

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

Any championship team is a selling club and although Southampton are a ‘promotion rival’. We aren’t remotely in the same league

We are both in the championship

 

[Shannerz]

We would have done if one would have met our asking price.

 

[AS86]

Just don't see it happening in the slightest. Our player of the season, one of the top players in the league, one year in to a four year contract, enjoying his time under Lampard. They'd have to spend well over the odds to get him and Lampard would have to be fully onboard to sanction it. Doug held out for Hamer and Gyokeres when they were towards the end of their contracts and clearly had eyes to move on

H

How ? that’s the model ? We all know that.

No it isn't the model to sell your best player at the end of the transfer window to a team in the same division

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

But that’s the point bud, we are in the same league

 

[pusbccfc]

Did we sell him to a team in the same league?

No, but if we sell Rudoni to someone in our league it will be more than Hamer went for.

 

[wingy]

I disagree. It’s detrimental

The only way it works to our benifit is if we already have someone in house, wracking brains.

 

[SHUNT31]

Would he have brought Rudoni on if we were genuinely talking to Southampton?

It will be a massive fee, I’m sure about it. You wouldn’t take the chance.

 

[SkyBlueDom26]

Scary how accepting some fans are

 

[SBT]

If someone wants to throw silly money at us for Rudoni while there are still a couple of weeks left in the window then we should do it imo. We will have the backup plans ready and the money would be transformative.

Anyone saying it would kill our season obviously didn’t see us look like dogshit until January last season and still make the playoffs.

 

[wingy]

No, but if we sell Rudoni to someone in our league it will be more than Hamer went for.

Vik?

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

As I said, would want a ridiculous fee. Sell on and for fun let’s have Armstrong back

 

[pusbccfc]

Where were you that season?

Our midfield was absolutely wank. Had we had a decent CM, we probably make the playoffs.

We got to an FA Cup semi final. The first time since 1987.

 

[pusbccfc]

Vik?

I'd be shocked if Doug sells Rudoni for much less than Vik went for.

 

[SHUNT31]

We got to an FA Cup semi final. The first time since 1987.

We were starting Liam Kelly. It was a disaster selling Hamer so late in the window and it had a negative effect on our season.

It did, and we still got to the FA Cup semi-final for only the second time in our history. It didn't kill the season as mentioned on here.

 

[chiefdave]

Hopefully just paper talk. Losing Rudoni to a Prem team would be one thing, any player would want that move. Losing him to a promotion rival with years left on his contract late in the window is a whole other situation.

I've said before I've got a feeling there's a suckerpunch coming at the end of the window but I really hope it's not this.

 

[ms639]

Rudoni and Wright are our only ‘difference makers’ the 2 players who have the capability to grab a game and win it.

We had 2 of them in Hamer and Gyokeres and we reached the play off final, if he goes we lost any creativity we have through the middle.

Would be a disaster.

Honestly think we were banking on MVE going but he’s not wanted at the price point we need

Southampton are going to get a huge fee for Dibbling, Rudoni is the obvious replacement.
Will be gutted if we sell him but would want a huge fee and replacements lined up pronto

 

[SkyBlue_Adam]

But that’s the point bud, we are in the same league

I know what you are saying and I’d be disappointed in King for not holding firm.. but they can double or even triple his wages

They play in totally different positions

 

[David O'Day]

we're not selling rudi unless it's for a ridiculous fee

we were in "talks" about mve and he is still here as we won't except less than our value

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Which I get but so could any premiership club, just tell his agent to go looking there

Realistically he’s not going to a Prem team without at least another half season of elite performances here. If a Championship team wants to overpay for him then we should let them. The money we received for Gyokeres and Hamer completely changed the trajectory of the club and we’d need a very good reason not to do it again.

And never will be if that is the formula!

no, we wouldn't
