When you think what we’re saying Maguire is worth, this lad is worth a tenth surely. 10 good premier league games he’s worth twice that already. A good season and it’s 40 mill Whoever you're on about they're both Welsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxxed Posted 6 August 2018 Share Posted 6 August 2018 You'd think after last year the last thing Rudkin would do is leave signings until the last few days. I bet he's in his office now, staring at the fax machine, replacement parts stacked up besides it, the work experience boy next door testing the backup power supply. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post AKCJ Posted 6 August 2018 Popular Post Share Posted 6 August 2018 48 minutes ago, Gerard said: I usually make a judgement on players we sign without ever hardly seeing them play. I put a lot of emphasis on what the supporters of the club he plays for think. The Huddersfield fans who had him on loan for 43 games thought he was bang average. Just read through their forum comments on him http://downatthemac.proboards.com/thread/106786/danny-ward-happy I'd have had no problem him coming here for £2.6m but £12.6m appears we've had our pants down. I can't find any evidence whether it be statistical or anecdotal to support this as being a good signing. The people defending it are usually the "give him a chance" type who would support any signing regardless of evidence or fee. I may be wrong about him and I hope I am but nothing makes me think that I will be. I find it a bit weird how anyone can call themselves a supporter if they don't do this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mahrez for example.. 60m and how much of that spent on his 'replacement '...Ghezzel.. 10M! A big downgrade. If Maguire is sold (75m) and he's replaced with Mepham (15/20m) that's another big downgrade... So Where's the £100/110m left over from these two deals going?.. The team is far weaker and increases our chances of relegation considerably. Was it a big downgrade when we bought Mahrez for whoever he replaced? 4 hours ago, AKCJ said: The Mahrez money has been spent. 5m on Ghezzal. 20m on Maddison 20m on Ricardo 12m on Ward 3.5m on Evans This. It's actually an incredible upgrade isn't it. Maddison alone probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually an incredible upgrade isn't it. Maddison alone probably Fairly good point. We've massively upgraded our right back, one of our centre halfs, gained two players who can play right wing and have someone who's looking like England's next creative midfielder. We haven't replaced Mahrez but we have successfully dealt with the three very weak areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okazaki, Simpson, Mahrez, Morgan or Maddison, Pereira, Ghezzel, Evans I'm not sure which 4 I would chose, depends on Ghezzel, but if he turns out to be alright then we will be ok.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 6 August 2018 Share Posted 6 August 2018 When we signed mahrez there was some hype around his raw skill and kante was wanted by other clubs too but we paid him the most and he chose us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
