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

Totally disagree. He had 21 goal contributions last season and dragged us to the playoffs himself with a bunch of carthorses playing infront him majority of the time.

It’s ok, we’ve got left back Jake Bidwell and inexperienced kid Callum Perry to play there

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

Why would we sign another left back ?

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

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

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

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?

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

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

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

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

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)

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
