People really don't have to try and twist everything to be anti Rudkin. We're a newly promoted club with a points deduction hanging over us, it's a hard sell. And clearly as his agent said, we can't compete with Roma and he had zero intention the second they were in for him.

Yeah seems like there's a lot of truth in him being adamant he didn't want to come. I'll hold my hands up cause I was sceptical about how badly he wanted to join Roma and Juventus' stance on that. Surprisingly, it looks like he made them sell to a rival for a smaller fee than we'd offered....bet that's rare and I can't imagine Juve are best pleased with that deal.

Roma > Leicester obviously, not sure where Rudkin fits in.

 

The only way we could of probably got him is offer him sky high, over market rate wages which is the exact opposite of what everyone has been clambering for us not to do. Non story.

I don't really think this ones down to Rudkin, its an ambitious move (which I like) for a young talented player who Juve had to sell, we offered more money on the fee and wages....

 

However I don't blame the kid for picking Roma , Better standard of football & better lifestyle (without having to move countries)

 

We move on and hopefully show some more this ambition!!

I mean, being told we don’t have a vision is surely on Rudkin isn’t it.

I’ll give you a different look on it. 
 

It was very much in the agent’s interest he went Roma

I have absolutely no doubt the guy wanted to go to Roma, just really made me laugh when we got called out for not having “a sporting project”.

Most ambitious players would use us as a stepping stone anyway (no shame). Sounds like it’s a convenient excuse. 

And that’s what we need, players that come in and do well to sell on for bigger fees. Would prefer a player with ambition to a mercenary.

You presume to know what that means, via an Italian translation. 
 

My interpretation is purely they would prefer a project that’s not near enough a total right off before it starts. Newly promoted club, points deduction… would all of us not choose someone else with more chance of a better place finish if we weren’t fans. 
 

And he can preach that now, but I absolutely guarantee you he’s used our interest to leverage a better deal at Roma. I would also be amazed that an agent would also not persuade a client to move here for a giant pay rise, had there not been other interest.

I know we will be covering very old and well trodden ground, but who within the club would you blame for that situation?

That’s got absolutely nothing to do with the point in hand has it.

Like the rest of us, you can guarantee absolutely nothing. lol

Yeah I’m sure his agent is just utterly incompetent and doesn’t know how to do his job properly. I mean it’s literally the whole point of an agent.

 

But no, maybe he’s just an idiot, so I can’t guarantee it. But any agent worth their salt clearly would.

Maybe he's not incompetent but I'm pretty sure there are some incompetent agents operating in football, as well as there being some incompetent DoF in the game too.

I think Enzo would have been able to persuade him to sign that’s the stumbling block right there

I think a fair few of us are wondering why were we wasting our time negotiating with a player who was never interested in joining us? 

 

There's being ambitious, then there's being deluded. The squad looks threadbare and it seems we put a lot of work into trying to secure a deal with a completely disinterested player. Doesn't look great does it? Especially when Soule chucks in the extra dig about the sporting project.

Just to be clear the anti-Rudkin bit doesn’t come from us suggesting that the club has no plan that is just the voice of a young player and his agent spouting his mouth off take no notice. The thing that the club/ Rudkin got wrong is waisting time making multiple offers for a player that clearly had no interest in coming
