Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window (42 Viewers)

[David O'Day]

Rudoni is a level below what Gus and Gyok were to us btw and if we’re getting £15-20m for him it’s incredible business for a player who’s had about 6 months of good play with us and goal contribution stats padded out with corner assists.

if he doesn’t go I’d expect 2/3 signings that would take us to a new level

he's as importrtant and he was 3 years left - they had 1

if we sell we would ask for more than we got for vik

even then i can't see us selling him now as kings not an idiot

It was hypothetical but we get £25m and spend £5m each on a CB, CM, LW, RW and LB then we improve the starting 11 massively

Why would we sign another left back ?

 

[WebbCCFC]

It’s honestly ridiculous. They even said they’re happy to watch BTA every week because we have a few quid in the bank

I definitely wouldn’t be happy watching BTA every week. The only way I’d be on board with selling Rudoni is if the squad gets improved in this window and we win games/reach the play offs. If that happens, the Rudoni sale gets forgotten about as part of the model

 

[procdoc]

Why would we sign another left back ?

Because we only have three of them!

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Why would we sign another left back ?

He wants to sign all those positions but not an actual AM to replace Rudoni

 

[David O'Day]

exactly if we’re trying to better last season we can’t sell rudoni or MVE, we Can’t even replace binks ?

we bid 7m for a cb

we can and will replace binks

 

[WebbCCFC]

Why would we sign another left back ?

Because regardless of numbers, it’s still our weakest starting position

Given how slow our business has been and the inability to suitably replace Hamer I don’t trust them to get it right tbh

Is it ? Both Brau and JdS are decent at our level

Missed the part about saying a change in formation and not having a 10 would suit our current strike force?

We don't know how good Brau is yet

 

[Perennial Lurker]

We don't know how good Brau is yet

Brau who was rumoured to be signing even if we went up
From limited viewing he looks good

 

[SBT]

And we are no closer to promotion having spent that money.

The squad is miles stronger than it was back then, surely you can see that?

 

[WebbCCFC]

We don't know how good Brau is yet

True, basing on tonight, seems quite lightweight and very one footed but he has decent pace and got a good delivery. I was saying a £5m signing would improve that position, not that we should do it with the amount of options we have

They literally bought Rudoni with the money generated from the sales of Hamer and Gyokeres?

Yes but we are still a playoff chasing team

Lightweight? Thought he was combative and loved a tackle

It took three windows to strengthen the midfield. They also spunked a good wedge of it on Bassette, Simms and BTA

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Can we realistically be anything but that given the season on season parachute payments teams get for failing in the Premier League

It doesn’t send out a message of us taking this season seriously

The positive is I think the recruitment will be better under Lampard

every signing he’s made so far I think has been a good one

 

[Perennial Lurker]

How ?

 

[Matt smith]

How ?

Come on mate, you know it doesn’t

 

[Matt smith]

How ?

Selling your best player to a rival

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Come on mate, you know it doesn’t

It will be a massive kick in the bollocks but we move on and reinvest

 

[WebbCCFC]

Lightweight? Thought he was combative and loved a tackle

I was impressed overall, looked solid defensively, he did get stuck in, lightweight was based on his physique, looks like he’d easily get muscled off the ball. I wasn’t saying we should sign a LB, I was saying it’s one of the starting positions that would improve in a hypothetical scenario that we spent £5m on one

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Think we need to relax. In talks could be “here’s £10m”
“Fuck off - we want at least £25m”

unless Rudoni prompts it, he won’t be going anywhere

relax? Have you seen this forum earlier today.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

Just need to calm. I’m waiting until hopefully October when I have my unnecessary meltdown.

I’m pretty optimistic that Rudoni is going nowhere
(Awaits Rudoni being sold on friday for 12m - prompting my tantrum 2 months early)

 

[Matt smith]

We can’t sell him and not have replacements in numerous positions literally in the building

If we signed 3 players of real quality you’d at least understand it but I don’t trust the recruitment team and the club to do this I’ve seen it too many times.

We'd have to sign at least one maybe two 10s

CB
CAM

Bare minimum

 

[Matt smith]

I hope he doesn’t go and fans would have the right to expect a serious tilt at the window in the last 3 weeks and nothing else would be acceptable

We aren't signing a striker , we have 5 on the books .

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

I think selling Rudi would be a mistake, especially to a rival and I don't want him to go but it'd have to be 20+ if King is going to sell him. A good replacement would be Tyrique George from Chelsea, can play numerous positions from LW to a striker including AM, Chelsea I read are willing to let him go even on a permanent if the price is good, he wants 1st team football, We can could get Doyle aswell plus a striker.
