Lambert09 Posted 11 June 2025 Posted 11 June 2025 If Mads is happy to stay, surely in the books 5 mil for Jakob is better than say 20 for mads? I feel like we paid a decent amount for him? Seeing as the only thing that seems to matter in football any more is psr if we can somehow keep mads then that would be good work from the club.
honeybradger Posted 11 June 2025 Posted 11 June 2025 Watch us sell Mads, bring in a new number one that isn't better than Stolarczyk and barely play Stolarczyk over the new guy. Only for Stolarczyk to leave on a free in a few years time. 4

Yeah, I forgot about that. I shouldn't have worded it like that. His potential suitors will probably wait to see his recovery, though.

Heart-Shaped Fox Posted 11 June 2025 Posted 11 June 2025 Hope we keep him I like him. Had told myself he'd be number one with mads gone and I was happy with that

Signed for 6.5 million I think, so still think selling Mads would be better for PSR if he has any interest..
EnderbyFox Posted 11 June 2025 Posted 11 June 2025 Silly Norwich, don't they know our clubs hierarchy have another few weeks of their Summer Holiday left? 1
mozartfox Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 I am sure our esteemed Retirement Team can seek out a 40 year old replacement on a 5 Year deal. Sell. Rudkin’s Scottish Widows portfolio is always on the look out for new entrants.
StanSP Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 Scott Carson is free. Maybe we're looking at him for Jakub's replacement... 1
Claudio Fannieri Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 Clubs don’t submit bids without sounding out the players representatives first too see if there would be interest, therefore I think Norwich would have received some encouragement. Maybe Mads is staying so Jakub is being sold to help with PSR. Maybe the rejected Norwich bid is being leaked to generate further interest, I think a few prem clubs may be interested as would be a decent back up option at a very reasonable price.
Jazzy_Jeff Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 I’d like to think we would try to shift players in order of their squad status. If it meant selling any deadwood along with Jakob, Hamza, Ricardo and Ndidi instead of Mads and Bilal it would benefit us in the long run. A spine of Mads, Nelson, Bilal and a new CM/ST would have us set for years.
slymunn Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 If Mads is staying then this might be why he only added another year onto his contract. To ensure we dont lose him for free if he doesnt play, but also long enough to offer a new contract if he does play next season.
RowlattsFox Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 Whilst he's not done a lot wrong, I've not seen anything to suggest Jakub is going to be a 'great' goal keeper. Decent, and I'd be ok with him being number 1 this season but if there is an opportunity to cash in (assuming we keep Mads, and sign a reliable replacement ) then we have to look at it. 1
LFEFox23 Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 Anything above £5m id take... Even if Mads goes aswell.
Tommy G Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 I'm not sure Norwich have £5m to spuff on a keeper? Why is everyone saying £5m? We don't want to make the same mistake we made with Iversen, hopefully the club have learnt their lesson, likely not.

RedSoxUK Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 100% definitely sell if Mads is 100% definitely staying. No brainer. Jacob is good enough to be a number 1 at a Championship club, and he's just seen the career waste of what happened to Iversen, who was also good enough to be a number 1 at a Championship club. Like others have said, don't think Norwich would have bidded if they haven't sounded out interest from Jacob/representatives. Though I would imagine we're waiting on something more concrete around Mads.
filbertway Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 Christ, Norwich have their finger on the pulse don't they Rudkin level's of thinking behind that move.

Thinking about it, perhaps this is a case of the announcement from the club that his contract has been extended, and external reports we've rejected a bid from Norwich, are not linear? It would make sense that Norwich held interest in Jakub, spoke to his people, bid for him, we rejected it, and as a result we extended his contract as reassurance to him/his people that he would be important to the club for the foreseeable future. While also protecting an asset (longer contract = more leverage for negotiations). 1

If so, then the rest of what I write is irrelevant haha Just seems odd when its been widely accepted for a couple of months that hes likely to be our number 1 next season. Id just expect DoFs to be aware of divisional rivals player situations 1

I say this because I saw this and thought, "but he already has resigned." Kinda. Without getting into Pedant Thread territory, there is a bit of a difference between resign, and re-sign.
VictorFox Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 They know that we need to sell players so took their chance with a bid
Foxes1 Posted 12 June 2025 Posted 12 June 2025 Knowing Rudders you know he will sell Jakub and get Danny Ward back.😄
