Brilliant. I really hope we have a plan. I really hope we weren't banking on Diallo from United, now he has a serious injury. Maybe Rudkin was hoping to have a look at it when he got his arse arse back to this country, but is far too busy at the moment licking Tops backside in Thailand to get involved in anything as trivial as signing players for the upcoming season. 2
K789 Posted 25 July 2023 Posted 25 July 2023 Is he that good if that's the level he's going too? As has been mentioned enzo knows these kids 2

Weirdo's Rudkin can only do one transfer at a time. He’s still working on the Mavididi one, so missed this one. 1

We don't seem to have gone in very aggressively for any other Man City academy players yet though, bizarre. Exactly what I was thinking. They all seem to have gone, i.e. Borges and Mebude. I can't see us getting Bobb or Palmer, and not sure we'd want any of the rest?

Apparently all isn’t well at City though, as they’re losing players.

Possibility Alex Robertson or Nico O'Reilly would be available and we do need an ACM / box to box midfielder.

Deeg67 Posted 25 July 2023 Posted 25 July 2023 Not to mention Gnonto isn't going to jump ship to go to another Championship side.
CosbehFox Posted 25 July 2023 Posted 25 July 2023 I'd hold reservation about us potentially saying pass to these Man City kids - it's not uncommon for Pep to have them playing in the Shield and then sending out on loan. All the top clubs like to have a proper look at their kids over pre-season; particularly those on the fringes.

DezFox Posted 25 July 2023 Posted 25 July 2023 We had links all over the place, the minute they are in Thailand they have completely fallen off a cliff. I know we joke and say that we won’t sign anyone until we are back but I’m genuinely believing now that Rudkin is saying, let’s get Thailand out of way and then concentrate on transfers. Is that a mad suggestion? Seems like zero urgency. 2
StanSP Posted 25 July 2023 Posted 25 July 2023 Why is it being presumed that we weren't in for him? Just because Romano hasn't mentioned us?

Deeg67 Posted 25 July 2023 Posted 25 July 2023 Looks like Karl Darlow is going to be Leeds' new #1 keeper, which presumably means Meslier is on the way out as expected.

We spent £75 million+ on Soumare, Daka, Vestergaard and Praet and appear stuck with them, we can only sell the half decent players and get left with the trash no one wants (well, they probably would if we were willing to accept less like Leeds have done but we seem to prefer paying wages in full and players walking for free instead). Those four players all have pedigree, so it's hard to class it as dead money - there's still a very real likelihood that we'll be able to sell some of them, or that they can finally integrate into a team that isn't completely dysfunctional - all of them have had good seasons at the top level, no reason why we have to right them off just yet.

Perhaps that's why we haven't gone in for him? - if he's so great, i'm sure Maresca would have wanted him, clearly he didn't, as there's no apparent reason why we couldn't have got him.

What about if they are on wages far too much for their ability? We know they are on a decent number
