Maybe but I don’t think this club is very good at judging quality let’s be real

Having watched him, I fairly comfortable with it.

Good move for him. 
 

In a weird way, letting him go shows a glimpse of ambition on our part, too. I would be worried if he'd be the one modeling the new kit, for example.

Some very delusional opinions in this thread. Sad for the lad after being here for so long, but the club who know him inside out, don’t believe he is currently good enough.
He didn’t exactly pull up many trees during his loan spell north of the border.

He's going to the 4th best team in league one last season, who are likely to be one of our main competitors. Sadly for us the reality is that if he does well for Bradford then he would have been good enough for us.

 

He's not one of our tier 1 talents like Alves, Braybrooke, Nelson, Page, Monga, Aluko etc but some of our tier 2 academy players have gone elsewhere and done well such as Maswanhise, Johansson.

If this helps pay Hamza's wages and him to be captain then clock me out.

I think this has sale has meant we can extend his contract.

Praying for some to come in for him.

Would love to know how much we got for him.

This has Ipswich (Hirst) written all over it. do t understand why we sell to people in the same league as us yet other team hardly ever do this.

Because Rudkin is a a ****ing idiot

Whether he’s good, bad or indifferent, it’s widely known that selling your home grown players is a crucial way of striving for PSR compliance.

That would depend on the value 100 percent of 500k is **** all in terms of money in 

[JimJams]

True, but he's an expense if you don't sell and never utilise him.

[filthyfox]

Its ok

I negotiated a £50m buy back clause.

Think that might be a little blinkered, I’d imagine a majority of transfers are done within the same leagues

[Pita]

It’s a shame to see young lads going

[Wigston2Canada]

Not that fussed but he’ wasn’t even in the top 10 of players we need to bin off.

 

I guess the difference is someone actually wanted him and he wasn’t on ludicrous money relative to his ability

10 weeks of Harry Winks, Skipp or Hamza.  If this lad can move forwards, stop, turn around and pass back then he would have had a bright future with us. 

 

I’m guessing he was too progressive and wanted to carry the ball away from our goal. Not the type of player we need around the club 😂

That’s the thing for me too. I’m not bothered if he’s not seemed good enough if we sign someone else. But who would I sooner see in a Leicester shirt Cartwright or Hamza in the middle then I know who I’m choosing.

At least he'll be in a place where he can research/solve that eternal culinary issue - who has the best Indian restaurants, Bradford or Leicester?

[Chrysalis]

A very strange transfer.  The problems continue.

100%

you usually get a feel by the players staying with kit pictures and also media content aswell as the faces going on the stadium exterior.

What worries the shite out of me is that we have DVD recorder Hamza Ans Stolz on there, hardly inspiring is it

Why is it strange? He's never featured for us and is 22/23 years old I think, it's exactly what we should be doing with these players of this level

I hate to say it but because a player is not deemed good enough when you’re a prem team or even championship doesn’t mean he is surplus to requirements when you’re playing the likes of Bromley. 
 

[Cropwellfox]

He’s gone because he’s a contracted player, who even though a small amount, is adding to our playing wage bill, which is still obscenely over the amount that will see us compliant this year. Everything must go. The trouble is those who most need to aren’t going to remotely interest all sane minded clubs. In fact there are barely any assets left who won’t see us make a book profit loss, compounding things further. Clubs will also know exactly how desperate we are, be lowballing us, and waiting until we have to cave in. Not nearly hit rock bottom yet.
