I hope so. They reportedly bid £12 million for him, which Middlesbrough instantly rejected.

I'm a little concerned that Southampton have sold Tyler Dibling to Everton this evening for £40 million (including £5 million in add-ons). I hope this doesn't mean they come back in for Rudi with an offer we can't refuse ☹️

I'm sure they would like to see him playing football.

That's all fine but if he's doesn't play at all then we may not be able to get him out, either on loan or permanently.

Is there any reason why we can't play Bassette? All the talk of him going to Utrecht seems to have died a death. If he isn't going there we need to have him in the shop window and give him some minutes in case he stays and we end up needing him in an emergency. Keeping him and him not playing...

Ah but if he's not good enough for the reigning world club champions then obviously he's not good enough for us. 😆

If we "just need a signing", irrespective of quality or any other considerations, then I will let FL know that I'm available. There will be no transfer or signing on fee required and I'm happy with £500 a week to supplement my state pension. Hopefully I will stand a chance because I'm a left...

You can never have too many left backs 😆

I’ll be sorry to see MVE go but the reported transfer fee is a decent one and if we can spend it well it should strengthen the squad. I’m not sure that I would even spend it on another RB as Eccles and Lati are decent enough options as cover for that position.

Well obviously you wouldn’t if, for example, you didn’t earn enough but that would be the case if you wanted a mortgage on a freehold so why specifically refer to leaseholds? Seems odd.

Wolfsburg and Villarreal reportedly also after Marshall-Rutty. I think, with that competition, it will be difficult for us unless the player prioritises playing time over wages.

You most certainly can get a mortgage on a long lease (say 99 years or more) at a very low or nominal ground rent. It happens all the time, especially but not exclusively with flats.

I'd love it if Stoke could come up with us. I still have a lot of affection for MR after what he did for us.

That trajectory gets him 46 league goals, so most definitely undroppable. 😊

I think that’s very harsh. Sheaf is a good player when he can stay fit although it’s not easy to see a route back to being a starter, other than when one of the others (probably Grimes) is injured, suspended or needs a rest. Few other teams will have an option of his quality on the bench. He...

Pessimist! 😆

I totally agree. I posted the other day that I think we have the best midfield in the Championship. As good a player as Gus Hamer is, we now have (as a group) a better midfield than when we had him and O'Hare. Torp and Rudoni are great players at this level and Grimes just holds everything...
