Do they ?They play in totally different positions
Transfermarket have him as a right sided player who can play attacking midfielder, not a million miles away from the areas Rudoni occupies
Do they ?They play in totally different positions
There are no backup plans, you are a hostage to the fee you received for himIf someone wants to throw silly money at us for Rudoni while there are still a couple of weeks left in the window then we should do it imo. We will have the backup plans ready and the money would be transformative.
Anyone saying it would kill our season obviously didn’t see us look like dogshit until January last season and still make the playoffs.
the reason is it seriously weakens us and we don't need to sellRealistically he’s not going to a Prem team without at least another half season of elite performances here. If a Championship team wants to overpay for him then we should let them. The money we received for Gyokeres and Hamer completely changed the trajectory of the club and we’d need a very good reason not to do it again.
He’s a wingerDo they ?

Not if you hold off until you sign a replacement. Southampton will wait 2 weeks if they really want him.There are no backup plans, you are a hostage to the fee you received for him
dibling plays on the right, rudi in a ten roleDo they ?

They would look at Rudoni as a replacement for Mateus Fernandes who they have rejected a £30M bid from West Ham for.Southampton are going to get a huge fee for Dibbling, Rudoni is the obvious replacement.
Will be gutted if we sell him but would want a huge fee and replacements lined up pronto
Not disputing that but he's also played 10He’s a winger

People are talking as if we’d be running around with our hair on fire if we chose to sell Rudoni - one would hope/expect that we’ve gamed out who the replacements would be if we sold our best player for a king’s ransom, and we’d have funds to improve the squad in other areas too. We are in a strong negotiating position and will only sell if we can use the cash to take the team up another level.the reason is it seriously weakens us and we don't need to sell

we'll sell him if we get the offer we want, it's very different to the gus and vik sales given the length of contract and he is unlikely to do what vik would likely have done and just not came backPeople are talking as if we’d be running around with our hair on fire if we chose to sell Rudoni - one would hope/expect that we’ve gamed out who the replacements would be if we sold our best player for a king’s ransom, and we’d have funds to improve the squad in other areas too.

2.5 weeks to spend £25m would be a disaster. It would be the footballing equivalent of a round of supermarket sweepTiming wouldn’t be ideal so would want a replacement in before selling. It would allow us a huge amount of money to reinvest and improve the squad as a whole. It could also help us get the best out of the strike force if we move to 2 up top. Only way of doing that is losing the wingers or losing Rudoni. We all knew he’d have teams after him after last season, what happens if he gets injured or his form falls off a cliff?
CB and a forward is still there bare minimum for meSo after tonights game , all Rudoni talk aside , how do we fell about the squad now ?
Personally thought both Raphael and Andrews showed enough to keep and play a part as the season progresses.
Jamie Allen for the zillionth time showed again just how useful he is to the squad and wouldn't be easily replaced .
For me a new Centre Back is a must
One out ,one in up front would be nice
And a couple of top attacking loanees would be my preference
Blimey , we're almost in total agreementCB and a forward is still there bare minimum for me
Every club would inflate prices massively too2.5 weeks to spend £25m would be a disaster. It would be the footballing equivalent of a round of supermarket sweep
There is no scenario in which we receive £25 million for one player and it’s a disaster.2.5 weeks to spend £25m would be a disaster. It would be the footballing equivalent of a round of supermarket sweep
We’ve got a recruitment team who plan for people to leave, it could be a disaster, it’s highly unlikely we would bring in better as a direct replacement but we could bring in 5 new starters for that kind of money and get promoted. Brentford sold their 2 best players the summer before going up2.5 weeks to spend £25m would be a disaster. It would be the footballing equivalent of a round of supermarket sweep

It was hypothetical but we get £25m and spend £5m each on a CB, CM, LW, RW and LB then we improve the starting 11 massively5 new starters?
3 at most unless get an absolute gem from abroad
In 2.5 weeks that’s simply not happeningIt was hypothetical but we get £25m and spend £5m each on a CB, CM, LW, RW and LB then we improve the starting 11 massively
It would be completely mental at this stage, and the cope from some of our fans on here around if it happened is even more mentalSelling Rudoni would create a lot of negativity amongst the fan base. With Hamer Gyokeres we had to cash in as they both had only a year left on their contracts and neither were sold to teams we were competing with

You don’t need to sign them all in 2.5 weeks.In 2.5 weeks that’s simply not happening
Yes which is fine if it were FIFA and transfer fee's were fixed.We’ve got a recruitment team who plan for people to leave, it could be a disaster, it’s highly unlikely we would bring in better as a direct replacement but we could bring in 5 new starters for that kind of money and get promoted.

It’s honestly ridiculous. They even said they’re happy to watch BTA every week because we have a few quid in the bankIt would be completely mental at this stage, and the cope from some of our fans on here around if it happened is even more mental
THEY FUCKING HAD ONE YEAR LEFT ON THEIR CONTRACTS. It’s a completely different set of circumstancesWe also had to cash in to buy the likes of Rudoni, Wright, MVE etc.

exactly if we’re trying to better last season we can’t sell rudoni or MVE, we Can’t even replace binks ?It would be completely mental at this stage, and the cope from some of our fans on here around if it happened is even more mental
And we are no closer to promotion having spent that money.True and that's why Rudoni hasn't gone anywhere and if he does, it will be for a massive fee.
Thanks for Hamer and Gyokeres, we've been able to spend more money than ever in our history. That has long ran out.
