Aleksz Posted 25 January 2023 Share Posted 25 January 2023 1 hour ago, Pliskin said: Complex or not, the deal won’t cost as much as fella from Argentina will it? Why does a deal need to be struck with Lyon? Can’t Shaktar just recall him if there’s interest in him? We shouldn’t be scrambling around this late again trying to get complex deals done in the worst window to do it in. I thought the new head of recruitment was recruited to prevent silliness like this? Unless this is genuinely a move to force Fiorentina to accept our offer? Which at this stage seems more likely? If we can’t a winger unfortunately we’re going to have to cough up the money and buy one, and not piss around trying to hammer a deal out. Not the head of recruitment’s job to get the deal done. His job to find the players. Rudkin is the man you should be pointing the finger at for that one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manager thinks, '**** it, I'll choose who I want anyway'. It'd be the perfect way to alienate your whole squad 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 25 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 25 January 2023 I do think it goes in our favour just how much we've wanted him for well over a year now. Our club has held talks with his representatives a number of times according to reports and I think we have to play on just how indispensable he will be here, it will lead to a large weekly wage but he ought to command it. Also he'd go there having to compete with a few other wingers, he comes here as the stand out player. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captains role off the pitch is pretty much the players representative to the manager and the club and helps with player welfare makes much more sense for the players to choose him and have a representative the respect and trust rather than have them forced in them by the manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post DezFox Posted 25 January 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 25 January 2023 It will be very funny when he signs for West Ham for about 23mill and we make it clear we attempted for about 21 mill but a deal just couldn’t be made. Then we panic buy Jack Harrison for 30mil. Then admin says something like “wow, new fox in town, how happy are we fans?” it would be peak Leicester, peak Rodgers and I hate to say it, peak top.

Unfortunately we’ve done that with many players over the years that we haven’t ever been close to signing. Still, this has to happen. You deserve your 10/10 Ric Flair Rating signing.

FrankieADZ Posted 25 January 2023 Share Posted 25 January 2023 the WHU link is a surprising one, given as said, who many left footed ones they have, so he could easily go there and be bench warming could look on the other side, to make us pull our fingers out and get the deal done quicker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He knew the season we had coming up and got rid of the player with the influence to impact his job security. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
