According to him that Palace winger was at our training ground the other week, the same time he was in a Crystal Palace training ground photo..Biggest chancer going

I know Nixon isn’t great anymore, but he’s alluded to Rak-Sakyi doing his homework on potential loan clubs before signing so no reason to think he might not have visited.

Rudkin doesn’t identify the players, that’s on recruitment 

He also ratifies the interest and negotiates the fee, salary and contract length. £10m for Ilias Chair would be a horrendous piece of business

10m seems a bit steep

We're not spending 10m for squad depth. Surely.

It's Leicester, with our injury record, I don't imagine gametime would be an issue if he's back up for two positions. 

 

If he WAS to be brought in as a starter then I'd imagine it means KDH is going as Mavadidi has just arrived, as has Casadei so it only leaves that spot...

£10m total

 

£6m/£7m total with add ons for promotion and goals etc would be fine with me

[LestaLad]

Wait so we’re believing TransferCore now🤣🤣

Yeah valid point, misread it as 10m plus add ons my bad

Is the same lot that identified Bertrand and Vesty?

You’re original point was about going after a completely different player though, which has nothing to do with Rudkin.

 

As for the fee, even if it’s true, is £10m including add ons, so probably more like £6-7m. Two years left on his deal and QPR have got another year option, so it seems pretty fair.

 

Horrendous piece of business is probably a bit strong.

Is there any possibility of an under-13s section of this forum so those of us who’d like some insight into a player’s attributes or the chances of him joining us can skip all the freaking puns?

Nope. That was Lee Congerton, now it’s Martyn Glover

I think they were identified by Rodgers’ son

I will bet good money hes not been anywhere near our training ground. Hodgson doesnt even want him going

There's no arm in asking though surely

The puns were dying down which is generally a sign of impending transfer action and then this pops up 

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

I don't know the lad. But I watched one of those highlight vids and he looks a tricky fecker. If the clips were from the Championship. Then he would definitely be an asset. As he's a technician and can leave defenders for dead at times.

It is high ..

[nettle]

I reckon he'd be decent for us we need a maverick in our side.

Thank God.

[Pliskin]

£10m steep? For a player as productive as him at this level? Don’t be silly…

I've been all for the signings so far, but I feel underwhelmed at the potential thought of signing Chair.

 

I just feel we can do better or find someone else with a better upsell value down the line.

 

However, it's always the one that underwhelm you that surprise you and hopefully if we are interested and we do sign him that is the case.

...we just need to pick up Oscar Bobb and get the Rak-Sakyi deal over the line!!!

Is this a Maresca request or was he someone on our wishlist?
