There are quite a few examples over the past few years of our players who did not, in fact, get over it.

Buzzing with that

Don’t worry Dom - if you go to the games but don’t have anyone to talk to, then I think it’s totally fine if you just post on the off topic board instead!

“Hey Dom, did you see that Simms chance just then?” “No Boosh, I was just posting in the ‘12 year old raped in Nuneaton’ thread on Sky Blues Talk, give me a minute”

If the squad isn’t currently good enough for a promotion push and assuming our business is basically done then our season is basically over anyway? Why so upset about cashing in on Rudoni now then?

Perhaps not, but our decision-making in transfer dealing isn’t limited to one transfer window at a time, is it? If it benefits the squad for the next four years, does it matter if we’re slightly worse for the next four months?

1. We would have ample time to strengthen this season, just as we did last year with Grimes in January etc. And the value of the fee isn’t limited to this season of course. 2. That’s the risk you take - the value of your asset can go up and down etc 3. While there is obviously risk involved...

Euro Millions or crypto?

If you’re convinced that this current side is heading for the playoffs and there’s no need for further big investment then that’s a good argument, yes.

It would be a Championship record fee and would enable us to not only replace him with a marquee signing, but upgrade the rest of the squad in various other key positions. You need a very good reason to turn a bid like that down, and “I like Jack Rudoni” is not one of them.

It’s also risk averse to turn down a silly amount of money because you’re worried that a bunch of guys wearing Rudoni pyjamas on the Facebook forum might be upset about it for a bit. Or because you don’t trust the people you’ve hired to identify players you can sign, develop and sell for a...

Hell hath no fury like a superfan scorned Anyone know if the Argentinian lad got one?

It’s just reality for like 90% of clubs in this country? I think Frank knows he’s not at Chelsea anymore - £20 million to spend on what is already a very good Championship squad would help him get over it.

Hopefully back in the real world Doug King isn’t so risk averse that he’d turn down a ridiculous bid for one of our players just because it might upset the fans for a bit, or because we haven’t already spent millions that we don’t have on a replacement.

Ngl seeing Cameron in that picture was a real jump scare

I agree, but that doesn’t mean the squad overall can’t be improved by £20 million worth of replacements. And apparently those replacements are needed all over the pitch!

We don’t have to argue semantics. I just don’t buy the argument that the team needs improvement in literally every outfield position, but is also primed for a playoff run to the extent that selling one player would torpedo the season.

BSB says the team needs improvement “all over the defence, on the wings, in the middle and up top”. But other than that I guess it’s in great shape? You can’t have it both ways - either this team is promotion-ready and must be kept together at all costs, or this team needs investment and that...

£30-40 million is cloud cuckoo land, I’m sorry. Go and look at some of the other players who’ve moved for that kind of money this summer. The only reason to keep him in light of a ridiculous bid is if you’re convinced that this is our season to go up. But if you think the current team is in...

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