Football fans for you. Liverpool fans have been the biggest hypocrites this summer. Called Trent a rat, booed him & harassed his family, then a couple of months later they are celebrating when Isak down tools to try and force a moveThe thing that boggles my brain is that fans think it’s ok for Hull to sell Hughes to us but not ok for City to sell to other championship clubs.
They also think it’s logical for saints to sell one or two of their best players but illogical for us to do the same.

It would actually surprise me if Rudoni or Hughes actually agreed to move to Southampton / us.The thing that boggles my brain is that fans think it’s ok for Hull to sell Hughes to us but not ok for City to sell to other championship clubs.

His attributes certainly haven’t, there is no box to box midfielder in the squad.
Both clubs would be seen as stepping stones.It would actually surprise me if Rudoni or Hughes actually agreed to move to Southampton / us.
It would be a small step up, but would make it much harder for larger clubs to sign them in the near future. I don't think either move would necessarily be in the players' best long-term interests.
In my view that means we haven’t replaced him.That's what I have already said. That's a recruitment choice.
Not particularly big ones.Both clubs would be seen as stepping stones.
No. No one values Armstrong at £8m -£10m.
In my view that means we haven’t replaced him.
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?it's not his value on ability, it's the amount of money that it would take for us to write off this season
only idiots think the team is in a "decrepit" state
Again that's a very simplistic understanding of football sorry. You can't sign unlimited players, we have signed replacements. If you aren't happy with them that's a different conversation but he has been replaced.
Yeah I just disagree sorry.Again that's a very simplistic understanding of football sorry. You can't sign unlimited players, we have signed replacements. If you aren't happy with them that's a different conversation but he has been replaced.
Only twice in his whole career...the last time 3 seasons ago.He's worth it if he scores 20 goals that gets us promoted which he has a history of doing in this league.
But no I wouldn't sign him in this case as he doesn't suit the style of play.
needing improvement to take us to the next level is not the same as decrepit thoughBSB 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 has to come from one of our most valuable players.
Yes, but with another good season, then you get bigger fish coming in next summer.Both clubs would be seen as stepping stones.
We're a good side and only two or three signings away from being a real force in this league.needing improvement to take us to the next level is not the same as decrepit though
this the ayari who plays a decent amount of games for brightonAyari and Torp were the replacements and neither are fit to lace his boots in terms of impact on the side.
We only have two fit recognised centre halves and just Sakamoto to play wide right for starters. You’re then also adding a Rudoni replacement.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?

yep, bit of depth as neededWe're a good side and only two or three signings away from being a real force in this league.
He does now, he was just not ready when he was here.this the ayari who plays a decent amount of games for brighton
What sort of clubs? I'd imagine they'd be looking at clubs recently promoted to the PL, who could quite easily buy them if they really wanted.Yes, but with another good season, then you get bigger fish coming in next summer.
Move now, and it's more difficult for those bigger fish to get you.

he was played as a 10 which isn't his roleHe does now, he was just not ready when he was here.

It’s an FLW exclusive I think that 15 millionNo championship club should be able to afford the fee that rudoni is worth.
If it’s true we’re asking for £15m then there has to be a financial reason and I won’t be happy.
I think it’s all noise though and expect him here past the window.
No, it was the 2023-2024 season. I rate him but I also think we could do better for the amount he'd cost.The last time was season before last no? So 2 years ago.
Plus I'm sure he had at another season at the 15 level? And then at least 3 years in the premier League around that and of course his 20 goal season with us at the lower level.
He's a very good striker at this level with the right style of play which we don't have.
That was the season before lastNo, it was the 2023-2024 season. I rate him but I also think we could do better for the amount he'd cost.
Absolutely - no way on earth we would take 15m, much like the rubbish about MVE going for £6million last week.It’s an FLW exclusive I think that 15 million
it’s quite clearly bollocks

Spot on with Rudi's POV. If I was his agent I would be telling him to sit tight for another 6-12 months because if he can replicate his form from the 2nd half of last season there's a great chance he will be playing football for an established prem club next season, instead of jumping ship now and being stuck at a yoyo club like Gus is now.Regardless of model, it would be a real low blow to loose JR at this stage in season , to a league rival.
I just dont see it happening, unless it's silly silly money (£30m+) and then reluctantly we have to accept it. We don't need to sell and Lampard would not be happy, wonder what that would do to the his relationship with King. Smacks a little of saints perhaps trying to unsettle him/club via media, still spoke directly about him in press conference which was poor also imo.
It would also make the last 3 weeks now, as others have said just chaos and likely we make errors in recruitment because we are desperate (overpaying etc). Yes I would think we have planned, but the reality of that is a lot harder, as we found with Hamer and failed attempts to get replaced quickly - Danny Perriera and also tried hard for another overseas midfielder player which didnt happen.
From JR point of view, football wise he would be best served doing another season under lampard. Appreciate thats a fans view, rather than cold blooded job decision which the players will take.
It’s also not about what the player is valued to someone else, but what they are valued to us.I really don’t think it’s unreasonable or unrealistic, he’s that good and that important.
