Some weirdo's would seriously be ok with this over Musk. But I would be happy if it meant Top is gone

I imagine the future of the team itself is precarious...

Those expecting to be spending lots of money (or some of the sale money), or any for that matter, probably time to start managing your expectations.

We got relegated, the whole team was piss poor no thanks to Top and Rudkins constantly poor strategy over theast half decade. Abdul was one of the best signings we've made in a long time and regardless of your frustration with what you saw last season (I saw all that too) his attacking stats were our best in the team. Along with Jordan James he will go onto a good career away from absolute that cesspit team that likelybecame horrible to be a part of. Many fans I'd imagine felt the same, RM has a gargantuan task on his hands! Wish Abdul all the best, I hope he shines in the premier League and brings the same levels and energy he did show.

You’re not wrong, probably the best recruitment in years. He was our best player at creating big chances (ones likely to lead to a goal) in that first championship year by a country mile and I believe the best in the league too. Our best last year too alongside most goal contributions just ahead of Jordan James who most people didn't have a bad word to say about. He isn't part of there group of players who've been badly recruited and stunk the place out, you can tell his dropped off at back end of season but like JJ he did try but was surrounded by dog shite. If we hadn't fallen through the league's we could probably demand more. But one thing is certain we won't have a player like him for a long long time. Think Riley Carr is exciting but he has a long way to go to get anywhere near his output.

You're probably right in terms of where the market is for him but we're demanding £10m for Ben Nelson and he hasn't just had a brilliant world cup campaign. Less than £2m seems like an absolute steal.

Shy of £2m. Hhhm.

Otchere is the older more senior player being the in the U21's for a while and had a good season. Hutchinson has clearly burst onto the scene with a bang and stepped up to the U21's FULLY mid season.

Our abusers are the owners not whatever patsy they bring in....

Which would be a record for the league we’re currently in.

Thought i'd post it in here, my mate went to the England game viewing at the ground, this is the comedy of errors my mate confirmed in a WhatsApp group "1. Guy on door couldn't find the button for the tickets on the card machine - had to ask someone 2. The aircon broke so we all got free dinks 3. They tried to turn up the sound, which was a comical farce - no one new how to do it 4. Poorly advertised max 40 or so people in the end 5. No vinegar or ketchup - i asked for ketchup and got mayo! 6. Barman asked if he wanted ice with a bottle of Old Speckled Hen" I am pleased about the positives like Winks and Vestergaard fcking off but the rest of the club doesn't look in great shape either.

Where we’re at, ok loan spell at Lincoln last year. Think this alongside ings and our existing youth strikers is perhaps what we’ll go with…

It was vital the poisonous toad was gone.

IMO getting rid of Winks Vesty and VK is essential. A change in mindset is the only way we can begin to move forward and I believe at the core of any change starts with those players fecking right off . Of course Faes has to go too I still don’t think they know what they’re doing recruitment wise and very much rely on agents. I could be wrong but we’re not spending lots, so loans and free will be what incomings are made and I can’t see past the club relying on agents for that. But the club are at the very least working to get these cnts out.

Tielemans leaves for nothing and now also miss out on what could have been the potential sell on fee and we're seriously building a shite ex Southampton squad through agencies. Best run club in the land.

He can’t feature in RM’s plans surely. He’ll make dozens of mistakes leading to a Goalscoring opportunity during the course of season. Easily avoided, sell.

Wish him nothing but the very best in achieving his undoubted potential. Could have gone for far far less than the reported fee. He and his family true to their word. Go get em lad.

We deserve everything that is coming to us sadly. A fan bases filled with stupid ‘hE’s cRAp gET rid’ and board within their infinite wisdom who decided to sanction an extension for Vestergaard and their failures have led us to academy products not signing extensions. Both now want to leave and we’ve brought in a manager who needs technically sound players. Setting itself up for a disaster again. Can’t help but to be pessimistic, while I didn’t expect Ben to leave (can’t blame him) at this stage I can’t trust our recruitment to put things right. The fact this sounds like it could drag on and Rudkin needs a few months to ask his agent mates to see what 💩 is left.

That explains a lot. A risk I’d rather still take though.

I guess this type of signing is fine like Kevin Philips was if he is merely complementing your main strikers pushing them and providing good leadership. They usually come in at the end of the window when the squad is set and you’ve got actual strikers. I’ve a bad feeling about this. Why if this isn’t an agency signing have we not signed up the multitude of free agents across the globe. i feel like we’re struggling to move on the players that must be sold so the last week of the window for whatever we can getwith a yet again ill prepared squad seems like it’ll be repeated. For the sake of the club I do hope it gets better than this if the clown thinks this is how you promote from a tough league.

Think we rejected a loan offer a month ago. Probably realise we can’t sell him so will now return with egg on our faces accepting lower terms.

You almost start feeling sorry for him, which in itself doesn’t feel right. We know the score , same pattern each year.

Exactly.

This would put him in the bracket of top five biggest fees for a 16 year old. We’re league one. It doesn’t matter how it is structured. We got next to nothing for Nyoni in comparison. I’m not sure we get anyone to pay much more than what is being touted. I don’t want to give any praise to the negotiations skills of those at the club. Like some have said he’s very talented and the club have fallen so far thanks to those same people, so we have no choice but to sell. Also Enzo probably picked up the phone to Top, rather than some bean counter at Arsenal who kept going up in penny increments.
