And they’re quite justified for doing that. Though I still don’t believe we’re seriously in for this bloke.

We have made 2 bids, both rejected, thats come from the Hull side. Clearly we are in for him.

We need another season from Rudoni. He's pivotal to our team and our chances of getting promoted.

Agree but if a massive offer comes in he’s off.

It’s just the amounts we’ve apparently offered, there’s no way we’re spending that much on a CB.

He won't be going at that price Southampton have turned down bids of £27 & £35 million for TD. Southampton had a bid rejected by the club for Rudoni. He has another 3 years on his contract to let him go for anything less than £25 million plus add ons would be giving him away.

I agree with this But…. I understand our model is also promising prospective players we are trying to sign that we would not stand in their way if a top/ premiership team came knocking. For us to show this is more than just words we probably have to walk this walk too even if it is unpopular with some fans.

We just need to trust Doug will get the best fee possible if this happens.

I imagine this promise to prospective players makes us pretty attractive and may be how we managed to get some of our better players.

At the same time Rudoni has to respect that the club will have a price tag. If another club hits that then fine.

why not? Clearly there is money there and Lampard has identified that position as one we need to strengthen

Where has an 8 figure sum of money come from? I could perhaps see it if all of the Binks, Vik and MVE (yet to be sold) money is put together, but Grimes cost a fair whack too.

If a club comes in and offers what he is worth - which is absolutely £20m+ - I'd be surprised if they turned it down.

At the same time, he's adding another £5-10m to his value next summer if he has a similar season, and then with 2 years left on his deal, would be the peak time to sell.

well apparently we bid 5.5m for Rushworth, and that was before Binks was sold and Vo=ik joined Arsenal. We aren't shopping in the bargain bins anymore

Nobody knows for sure. We could have had new investment for all we truly know. Or some of the previous purchases werent as we were told.

I hope we are. Some big signings would be nice, but bargain bins are named that for a reason.

He wouldnt make the bids if the moeny wasnt there. So really why are you worried where its coming from?

But spending high you might get a Salah or you might get a Nunez. Spend doesnt guarantee success relatively to price.

King has often said and proven he won't overspend. So if we are bidding these sums then clearly the money is available.

Rudoni is the best midfielder outside the Premiership and that’s £30m with 3 years left on his contract.
Click to expand...

You saying he’s worth £30m? Or you quoting someone else? I like Rudoni but no way is he worth £30m, yes he’s got a lot of potential but no team should be paying £30m for him, that’s a premier league sorta figure and he’s not proven to be at that level at all yet. I think somewhere around the £17-£20m would be fair tbh.

he's worth 30m to us, he has a long term contract and we have no need to sell

his value currenyly isn't his worth as a footballer but the amount needed to make us ell our best player now when there is no need to do so

Maybe I'm being naive but can't see him jumping ship to another Championship team, his next move is a big one but he's only really excelled in the last 6 months. He is getting to learn from his hero and be the main man here. That's a lot to give up for a move to Southampton. Maybe a prem team could tempt him but I just don't feel we sell this early.

No need to sell this late in the window, so £30m minimum.

We also, with all these figures being band around, how much is actually upfront and what is add-ons? I can't believe we would pay £5.5m for a keeper who is no better than Dovin who cost a fraction of that. Or that we will pay £10m for a CB.

I can certainly accept that those numbers probably represent the total possible value of the package rather than the base fee. It still looks too high relative to what else we've spent, considering we've committed in the region of £7m on Grimes and KKH already.

Rushworth is very highly rated. To say he is no better than Dovin is just not true

You know he has played well for us when he didn't get slaughtered for giving a goal away.
