Would you sell Rudoni? (35 Viewers)

[TomRad85]

And they’re not a league rival. We’re competing with Norwich, WBA, Boro.

Not with parachute payment club with 5 x the wage budget

They are literally in the same league.

Selling Rudoni now would be a major disappointment. Key player last season and got better with every game. Unlikely to be a one season wonder with the kind of progression under Lampard. We’ve already started the season and to pull a major player (that you’ve not planned for on replacement) would have a massive impact to the season.

Of course they’ve planned on a replacement

And the fact they’ve bidded big money on Hughes and Rushworth suggests they were expecting this weeks ago

Just an observation from last night. Rudoni was literally pushed to singers corner as lead usually taken up by MVE was that his bowing out?

 

[Ashdown]

If we were going to sell him then it had to be done in June. Doing it now would leave us in the shit with a closing window.
complete nightmare scenario.

Not sure about that. Comes across shy sometimes I reckon

 

[lordsummerisle]

If he doesn't sort his hair out he can go.

A decent cut and keep him.

Nobody’s paying 20 million for rudoni, he’s had a good half a season

That’s just not how the transfer window works though. Clubs are losing key players every day this week and that will continue until the final day of the window….. in fact we need it to because we hope to temp clubs into selling us some of their key players !

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Just seen Southampton after a different CAM? Hopefully means they’ve switched targets?

This is very true. I think he is invaluable to our season but no one is chucking that kind of money at him unless he plays like the second half of last season for all of this one.

 

[SBT]

With respect I don't have to think of the player. He's signed a contract and earns good money. We'd be denying him a move to league rival, he'd get over it.

There are quite a few examples over the past few years of our players who did not, in fact, get over it.

We've had players 1 year into a 4 year contract who have kicked off at not being allowed to go to a league rival since King took over and claimed we want to be challenging at the top end of the table?

Well if you’re going to be that specific, no….

Players who are denied moves to bigger clubs for more money don’t always politely get on with things though.

 

[JulianDarbyFTW]

Just spit-balling here.

There's an assumption (from me and likely others) that Lampard wants to keep Rudoni. Seems an obvious view as he's been very good. But maybe, just maybe, he doesn't fit Frank's tactical plan - perhaps any sale would be with his blessing if it means a different type of player is then brought in. We always assume managers want to keep good players, but look at PSG's manager trying to offload one of the world's best in Donnarumma just because he doesn't tactically suit.

 

[quinn1971]

Looks like we’ve priced rudoni and MVE out of moves, well done Doug

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

You’d have thought that with Sheaf

Only if you were thick as shit.

 

[Hutch11]

I think £20m is very close to the point where you have to seriously consider it.
£22.5m + 15% would seal it for me because with that we could bring in a direct replacement, CB and winger.

Within the next 2 weeks?

 

[Mcbean]

No no no no no no no can I be clearer

If you want to go for promotion you don't sell your best players, simple. Rudoni is worth 10-15 goals, 10-15 assists, where is that going to come from. We sold Gus for 15million yet we have never replaced him even if we spent 30 million because he was unique, as is Rudoni. Would we have got promoted if we had Gus last season? Possibly yes.
King wants us in the premier, he is a business person not a football person and to get promotion you have to invest, must invest, you cannot do it by wheeling and dealing. If we do not have money and King doesn't want to invest his own money you are leaving yourself at the mercy of the gods. However, if you want success, like Brum and Wrexham, you must invest or sell up.

The problem is as we saw under SISU there isn’t a tonne of wealthy people wanting to buy Coventry City in the championship, a club who don’t own their own stadium.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Yes, more clarity is required. Is this what you mean?

 

[Captain Dart]

Please not this season. It would weaken the team and likely undermine the confidence of the squad.

But at the same time you have to make sure you maximise their value. You can't improve the squad if you're only willing to part with back up players.

A couple of years ago and the rumours of Sheaf leaving for an eight figure sum and people were adamantly against it because he was one of our best players. I thought for that kind of money it's worth considering as we could replace what he gives for less and strengthen other areas. It now looks like that would have been the best thing to do.

At the moment I think Rudoni could still improve with us and would like to keep him, but if you're talking £20m+ then you have to consider it because you could a lot with that money. I'd also hope that in that scenario the club would be able to press go on a number of deals that are in the pipeline.

I don't think its even worth talking about Jack leaving this window. Unless he bangs on the door of Doug any move in the championship is a sideways step and a risk to his development.

He seems to be enjoying his football and i bet if asked would say he has improved faster than at any other point on his career so far. He is playing in front a top fans who adore his effort and ability and is working with his idol. He doesn't come across as though money is his motivation, he just is a young man that loves to play. I think right now we are a perfect fit for him.

In my opinion for what its worth, i see a young gifted player that is improving but knows where he wants to be. He will have ambition to play top level football and knows he is at a club that provides another step closer to reaching his goal.

I think FL plays a big part in his future as well.

He seems to be enjoying his football at a club he like with a squad he fits into. He is a fan favorite and is working with his idol. If he wasn't improving as a player nobody would be looking, but he knows or has good advisors that will see any move a risk. The only way he goes to another championship team is if he gets offered a salary he cant turn down or an offer Doug cant turn down.

In my opinion i dont see hom being about money, i see a happy player who knows the path he is going to take. And is a club that provides another step closer to playing at the top level.

It’s not a sideways step. The reality is that he’d double his wages and quadruple his chances of being a premier league player in 12 months time

Southampton have a 4x chance of getting promoted than us you think?

 

[BinleyMegaSkyBlue]

Stick or twist scenario, but for me he is going to be essential to any league campaign this year. With only half a (very good) season behind him, and 3 years on his contract, the ball is very much in our court, but - if we don't make it to the hallowed land this year, it would take a very unfortunate set of circumstances for him to not have at least equivalent value in the next transfer window.

Making the move now would leave us vulnerable to not having a replacement, or being gouged for one knowing we need it urgently. Keep him, build and if we don't make it, I'm sure there will be plenty of interest in the summer.

Its all an opinion and mine is Southampton is a sideways step in his development. Money doesn't seem to be his motivation. And we have just as good as chance as anyone of getting promoted.

Also FL is going to be a big impact on him, now throughout his career.

 

[hinckley cov]

People who say we should sell for say 15-20 million and reinvest in a striker and centre back, but the thing is there’s no guarantee spending say 10 million on a striker going to get you anything better than we have , stick with Rudoni this season and see what happens and if we fail to make the playoffs we can sell next summer and start again.

Yes exactly that.

There's also no guarantee that Rudoni doesn't get a serious injury this season, it's always going to be a risk based decision and to some extent a test of how confident the recruitment team are they have the right targets identified to use the money.

For what its worth id probably keep him unless he demanded a move, but i dont know any of the info that the recruitment team would have about successfully using the money right now.

 

[TomRad85]

Love the fact we're getting told Southampton are 4x more likely to get promoted with their obvious financial benefits from PL relegation and being able to sell players at inflated prices because they put in a couple of half decent displays in the PL.. and the way we compete with clubs who already have these advantages is apparently to sell our best players directly to them.
Make it make sense.

because we're not competing with them. We're competing with Norwich, WBA, Boro and the like.

You give yourself the best chance you can of finishing in the top 6 and then fingers crossed. If that means flogging Rudoni to a top 2 side, so you can reinvest, then so be it.

Our aim to get out if the division. We are competing with them.
