Hopefully he can develop his passing game out on loan as that's probably what he needs to get to the next level.

I never watched him live but I thought he was fast? Not as fast as prime Vardy maybe but enough to consistently outpace defenders.

Percy confirmed Betis had bid for him but we turned them down as we wanted £10mil

U16 national cup

Looks like a free kick specialist. Part of our youth cup winning team alongside Monga, Page and Evans but looks to be less developed physically than them.

At least if he's bad it potentially gives Jake Evans more opportunities for minutes.

Cifuentes made a statement by not bringing him on versus Birmingham. With James and Ramsey in I dont think Winks makes the bench for us.

7/10 but purely based on it exceeding expectations. At the start I would have been over the moon with £20mil for Justin and Mcateer but now that we've shown we can sell im disappointed that Faes, Soumare, Winks, Kristiansen, Daka are still here. Can't help but feel like if we were more under the cosh regarding PSR that we would have sold a few more. I know it's controversial but I feel like PSR is actually a saving grace by preventing Rudkin from hoarding mediocre players. In terms of the incomings at least with loans with options you can say no at the end of it and JJ looks good.

Always a good sign when the fans dont want him to go. Looks like a class signing on the face of it, especially if it is for 5mil euros.

Even if he does well he is never playing for us again. Seems to have fallen out with the club.

Short memories. Wait until he starts then falls asleep at the wheel and costs us points. At best he's an impact sub due to his concentration issues, whether that's something he will accept im not sure. We were here before under Ruud where he dropped him initially then after some good sub appearances we were all saying he's our best defender, then he went into the starting XI and inevitably he reverted to being a calamity.

Have celtic ever paid £10mil for a player. We won't get what we want from them.

For me a signing needs to be a clear upgrade on what we have to be worthwhile. Maybe im missing something but all i see when i watch him is Louis Page, a bit raw and struggles with the physical side of the game. The talent is there for sure but i dont think he's something that we dont already have in Page.

You cant argue with all the green i guess. Just worried that on the face of it he seems to have not kicked on since that season and doesnt look very developed physically. If we are bringing in a new attacking midfielder he needs to be a clear improvement on Page otherwise what's the point. For example when i watch these highlights i see current Louis Page but slightly better, and considering the age difference I'm not sure that's what we need and would expect more.

He has 15 goal contributions across his entire career unless im looking at the wrong player? Best season 5 goals 1 assist as Middlesborough 3 seasons ago. Looks to me like an academy player still trying to establish himself in senior football which is what Page/Alves are.

He's just come off a long term injury and doesnt look good at all. Doesnt look like a player much further in his career development than Louis Page except Page is 17 and making his debut season. Not impressed by this one.

This is the issue with the club sticking to their high valuations of players. Yes you get £9mil for Justin and £12 mil for Mcateer but you also miss out on selling Daka for £5mil. We really should be trying to get what we can and move on at this point, he's not even starting over Jordan Ayew.

For a loan and option to buy for 5 mil euros for a young talented player you cant go wrong really even if he isnt as good as is expected. Looks like excellent business on the face of it.

Aluko is the one actually making the bench instead of Kristiansen. With Thomas and Aluko we are ok. Faes can also cover at left back if he stays.

It's probably the perfect club for him, Feyenoord fans would have very high expectations and Vardy is a bit of a streaky, confidence player so I could see things going wrong for him there. A club like Cremonese where strikers are expected to score 5-7 goals a season without the fans turning on them will be perfect for him. He's always been someone who values the support of the fans.

I think you just have to accept we are one of the worst run clubs in football and not think about it too much.

Hi Mrs Faes What is the reason your son hasnt left yet? Is Rudkin asking for too much or is there no one interested? Hopefully for both our sakes he can find a suitable club to move to. Best wishes. P.s. reminder to limit Wout's time scrolling tik tok, he needs to be able to concentrate the full 90 minutes.

Winks is a luxury midfielder that not many want or can afford. It will have been quite a humbling summer for Winks with his agent looking around and struggling to find suitors. If he is going to go he will need to drop his wage demands significantly becauee he's not getting half of what he is paid here anywhere else.

He's our best centre mid but that's a very low bar. We cant lose him on a free and we need to get his wages off the books. Selling him and prioritising a new centre mid over any other position should be the priority. On a side note imagine if he ends up playing for AC Milan, from Gattuso, Seedorf and Pirlo to Soumare. What an obscene drop off.
