Ianis Hagi on a free anyone?
Gus' yo-yo club forgot to do the second part of their yo. They'll be stuck here now.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.
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.needing improvement to take us to the next level is not the same as decrepit though
Rudoni is the most important player by a mile tbf, head and shoulders above the others. Anyone who thinks he's not at least as important as Hamer was hasn't been watching properly.We don’t have to argue semantics.

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!Rudoni is the most important player by a mile tbf, head and shoulders above the others.

I'm expecting them to go full super market sweep with premier league loans after the 25 man squads are announced tomorrow, but I agree I think they will be in the same league next year.Gus' yo-yo club forgot to do the second part of their yo. They'll be stuck here now.
Some people like to be dramatic. I've always been clear, we need a better CF, a better CB and a winger.. that would make a team that is absolutely nailed on one of the 6 best in the league rather than a team that 'could' finish there again. If we can do that without selling Rudoni then we should. Of course we'd need another CAM if we sold him too, a bloody good one at that.I agree, but that doesn’t mean the squad overall can’t be improved by £20 million worth of replacements.

Oh yeh, Loan FC gonna Loan FC. Think they missed their chance though, lost some good players and even with loans i think will be significantly weaker.I'm expecting them to go full super market sweep with premier league loans after the 25 man squads are announced tomorrow, but I agree I think they will be in the same league next year.

I've never been sure how people can argue it as it seems blindingly obvious, yet i've been arguing it with several all summerYep I'm not sure how people can argue with that.
Ideally you lose BTA or Simms to accomodate that. Would leave the squad in a good place, if MVE doesn't leave and Sheaf isn't completely broken

On last night's showing I think it would be Thomas on the benchIf we signed either Doyle or Charlie Hughes, it would be Kitching moving to the bench. So yes?
It's early!That was two seasons ago mate... Unless you are counting this season as a whole extra season already...
Hasn't Toffolo gone to an American club?Yes
GK: Collins, Dovin, Rushworth, Wilson, Varney, Bell
LB: Toffolo, JDS
CB: Kitching Thomas Hughes Bidwell Lati Perry
RB: MVE KKH

CAM: Rudoni, Hagi
LW: EMC, Haji, Brau
RW: Sakamoto, Raphael
ST: Vardy, Simms, BTA, Bassette, Obikwu,
100% - Thomas needs a spell out the side for me. His concentration and decision making lets him down, otherwise he could be brilliant. For me he’s a better footballer and natural defender than Kitching but not as reliable and consistent with his performances.On last night's showing I think it would be Thomas on the bench
I think Thomas is a better defender but Kitching is a better footballer for me , his passing and moving into space is way better than Thomas100% - Thomas needs a spell out the side for me.

7 of his assists were corners - not saying he hasn’t got a great delivery but again - doesn’t do much from open play!how many assists?
you couldn't be more wrong with your frankly revisionist pish
Why??? The fees being banded around over the summer are just ridiculous. Is Isai worth £150m?? NO, is Dibling at S’ton worth £37m… for years we have sold players for peanuts,, I would back King all the way if he held out for 25+ and would need applauding if he got it “providing Jack wanted the move??”7 of his assists were corners - not saying he hasn’t got a great delivery but again - doesn’t do much from open play!
I think Rudi is a good player but anyone who thinks he’s worth £25m needs a reality check

Be gutted if he went to them even if we got maximum moneyOminously Mike McGrath is one of the more reliable journos...
If you put yourself in Doug’s position ( rather than that of a fans ) you buy a player in Rudi for £4m and the early season reaction from fans in Rudi’s first season is that we over paid, this gets revised as the season progresses.
someone comes along and offers you £20m for him. Frank et al tell you he will be worth more in 12 months time and to keep him but you also recall Robins telling you that Sheaf, Simms etc would be worth more last summer and look how that’s turned out.
In parallel the manager is telling you he wants a proven CH, Striker and midfielder oh and cover for right bank should Milan go. Oh and I’m not convinced that Raphael is cover for Tats, still a project etc etc
what would you do ?
if you sell now you can afford to buy many of the players the manager wants and you don’t run the risk that Rudi has an off season and his value plummets.
It’s not as easy as some fans think ….
We don’t know what Frank has told Doug do we but he will see what we see and that is that we are wasteful in front of goal, and we don’t hold the ball up well from that position either.Where has Lampard said he wants a striker? The reference I’ve seen is that he mentioned pre-Luton / post-Hull that we have no left wingers.
I’d be v disappointed if we sold Rudoni this late in the day. Unless we’ve got £20-30m in transfer outgoings lined up (assuming MVE sold too), I’m not sold on it.
We don’t have an AM to replace Rudoni and given that he was directly involved in 33% of our goals last season… it’s too risky to let him go.

Just take off the sky blue tinted glasses mate and be objective for one secondmore revisionist pish
Oxlade-Chamberlain? Weird name to pull out the bag. He must be getting on a bit now.Rudoni out and we protest… unless Oxlaide Chamberlain joins and then all is forgiven
32 in a couple of days. Thought he'd be older than that.Oxlade-Chamberlain? Weird name to pull out the bag. He must be getting on a bit now.
why? I am virtually every game and you are talking nonsenseJust take off the sky blue tinted glasses mate and be objective for one second
Thought he was in Turkey these days?Rudoni out and we protest… unless Oxlaide Chamberlain joins and then all is forgiven
