If only Rudkin knew...

[Chelmofox]

Apparently was shit because he was horribly homesick. Heard a rumour Top used to pay for him to go home to try and help (cos Bubba was underpaid or something!).

 

Solution - move to Qatar!

[funkyrobot]

Will never forget Bouba for that rampant run down the wing to assist the assist for Ayew’s last minute equaliser away at Ipswich. For that brief moment (3-4 seconds) he was world class. Like that time Praet assisted the assist with that pass against Brentford in the FA Cup. ‘Brief moment Leicester legends™️’ both of them 🥰

Still a great deal.

[Corky]

Even with the poor managers we have had, he couldn't stand out. Others have done it- James this season, King under Sousa, Buonanotte last season.

 

Five years and no memorable moments, no run of positive games. It shouldn't be possible.

[Sly]

The end to one of the worst signings we have rver made.

 

That closes this chapter. 
 

The squad has got better with Soumare, Faes and Carranza leaving. 

[Analysethis]

He is almost certain to get in the France world cup squad after a high profile move to one of the big leagues.

This is amazing by the media team. Does any photo sum up Soumere better than one where he has no idea where the ball is. 

[Vestan Pance]

Going to miss you big man. Thanks for the memories and hitting the bar in that game once. 

[DennisNedry]

Symbolic of what went wrong with our club.

 

I'd go so far as to say I hate the man. Absolute shite footballer and no redeeming features at all. Makes my all time worst XI, partnering Steven Hughes in the CM.

 

I don't wish him well.

So basically it clears his remaining PSR value and we get rid of his wages 

[Cropwellfox]

Hope we retire numbers 24 and 42 as a sign of lasting respect

I thibk that's a result.

[KingsX]

I’ll never forget Bouba tracking runners with all the eagle-eyed tenacity of Danny Ward watching a soft, speculative shot float into the net.

Knowing Rudkin we've paid them £5m. 

Still a good deal

When your own announcement video knows what kind of transfer you'll be.

Which is remarkably close to the amount he has left on his book value 😂

[Muzzy_no7]

Yeah his book value is 2-2.3m left from my calculations so anything above that is an absolute result.

His book value is set each year at June 30th in the accounts 

it doesn’t drop through the year because we dont effectively file again until end June. 
End last June he had approx £4m book value. 
june 30th 2026 he would have zero. 
 

whatever deal we’ve done will be to cover his wages and the amount they’re covering being more than he’ll earn there effectively is a loan fee for the six months.  ayoze cancelled his contract in the January so we had nothing to pay him and he left for free.  This will not be much different apart from we may have worked out some clever way of getting something onto the plus column in this years books. I can’t work out what but surely we could be creative in some way. 
 

The player would be due a nice s/o fee to move there in July. He’s not going to chuck that away for the sake of sticking around here for another six months.  I’d love to believe that we’ve negotiated a fee of some kind but if we have then it’s just psr smoke and mirrors - handy though!

100+ games I can't remember him doing anything significant in one of them.

Come on.

 

He’d go on a galloping run with the ball once every 25 games and everyone would be convinced it was the start of the redemption curve 

 

Edit: in all seriousness I know what you mean. He’s one of only a few players where I could never work out a single thing he was good at.

 

Not creative enough for a CAM

No passing range of a CM

No defensive qualities to be a CDM

Not clever enough or disciplined enough to be a box to box CM

Not a particularly good tackler or passer

No real positional sense 

No great composure on the ball

 

Just what is he good at? It’s still a mystery to me

[BlueThroughandThrough]

Will he be arsed to even walk to the airplane from the departure lounge?

[Oldblueyes]

What ever is the agreed fee, it will all have to go to pay off the interest  from the latest bank loan,  so no money available for any signings, sorry.

[Glasgow fox]

Slaughter incoming but if he could be arsed he could be a great footballer
