Odd that we have never tried redmond as a wing back similar to Dj. Both are weak at tackling but do like to take a player on.
Funny because there has been loads of talk about how they actually have financial constraints despite what people would think and that they can’t / won’t do massive splurges Otherwise they would have just paid the extra 10m for Maddison if that rumour was true. They still might but it would be weird that they didn’t do it a few weeks ago Edson is a defensive midfielder and there was a rumour linking Bruno to Real Madrid as Casemiro’s replacement. Perhaps that is true? If they make a profit on him it would explain the large striker fee and this 40m DM . Or the talk of financial limits could have been nonsense. But a lot of the journalists really spoke confidently about there being some (so for example they wanted to focus on a right sided forward in Pedro rather than a central striker. But are now spending big on a central striker and aren’t simply signing both as Chelsea or Man City of old would have done )
I do hope this is a permanent move, For him and for us. He gets a fresh start, And we can Inject some fresh Leadership into our backline hopefully.
Initial loan deal it looks like. As loan as they pay all his wages and have an obligation to buy then fine.
Obligation sounds unlikely to me if they are only signing him for injury cover. Unless they have a cash flow issue ?
No chance there will be an obligation, probably an agreed price at the end of the season if they want to make it permanent
