Rudoni is 23 and his career is on an upwards trajectory, try again.
I was told the loan approach had been rebuffed. Perhaps this is what the hold up is with incomings is, maybe they are pushing for a loan to buy obligation? I suppose a lot will depend on whether Lampard now sees him as a starter.
Think we could see a Chaplin/JCS trajectory for a few of our players tbh
Underwhelming for us but go on to be great players at another club in the division
To be fair, your avatar is him stood in front of the N.Korean flag!!
Good players , great players don't play in the Championship, a great player is Messi and not championship players.
Guess we’ll see soon on the later. Weirdly probably our best CB on the ball so you’d think Lampard would favour him however barely played. Still get the impression Lampard is still weighing up parts of the squad
Not going to happen is it, if anyone offers more than £2.5 mill you would jump at it if he's really deemed surplus to requirements.
Alternative if we don't play is sending him out on multiple loans and letting him leave for free when his contract expires
Me too. I think he is now finding his own feet and disregarding in-house advise from his first few weeks hence why Dovin, Bidwell and latterly Kitching have come in to reckoning. Obviously Collins and JDS did themselves no favours and accelerated their dropping
The fact it’s the 9th January and the only rumoured activity is outgoings should alarm everyone
It only becomes alarming much closer to the end of the window. We have no real clue as to what's going on in the background and that's as it should be.
I kind of get the sentiment though.
We've got 3 more league games before the end of the window. The earlier we get players in, we could have a better chance of picking up more points.
Yeah, I would have like to see him get a run in the team, but that's just personal opinion and from what we had available. He has finally played him for 90 mins, so maybe he is still trying to figure that out. Only they will know.
Unless he can be recalled any time and we bring in someone like Holding as he goes out.
To be fair, if we sell Binks, Kitching, Latibeaudamare, Collins and Da Silva I'd promise to buy 2 season tickets for myself next year.
Last January didn't we end the month with a smaller squad than we started? Ayari and Fadz out, Torp in? (EMC signed but loaned out)
Not really, the club anti leak policy is pretty watertight.
Very true. Sometimes our transfer negotiations appear to be very protracted . Guess we will never know whether that's the case or not
Replacing 3 of your 4 CBs in January doesn't strike me as a recipe for a more stable back line.
Put this earlier in the thread and the more I read, the more I stand by it.
It’s an absolutely bizarre, frustrating and incredibly poor situation we find ourselves in, where there’s clearly (and once again confirmed by ITK’s) underlying issues in the squad. Its a mess in every sense; attitudes, performances, confidence etc.
We need (another) significant re-build it seems, so let people go now if it’s guaranteed money. FL will know what he has to play with and start building from this window, even if historically it’s not a great time.
It’ll give us a jump start on next season if we start to assemble the team FL wants now.
With the obvious caveat, he is allowed to replace any outgoings.
I think the problems started when we had a mass clear-out post the playoff final. Something like 11 or 13 players left or left go. That's a huge churn. Perhaps a more little by little approach would have been better, improving certain positions as we went rather than building a whole new team.
I don’t know. There’s clearly issues but so much is gossip framed in a specific way rather than facts. Hard to take too seriously.
It was, said it was Ronnie Edward’s who decided to go to QPR on loan instead (closer to family).
I'd argue that given Holding hasn't played in two years, Bindon is 19 and has never played in the Championship, and Helik was relegated last season, it's not even a guaranteed upgrade.
