No-one would pay that, if a big club comes in and puts in a reasonable offer then he would want to leave and would leave.
Thing is Sean his absolutely vital to the team, 9 million would be a total slap in the face in my opinion. I agree £20 million is a lot but if people are flinging around crazy amounts of cash for players we might as well join the party too. Also I think it will send a message to the bigger clubs in the league we're not weak or cheap. Bravo - Just pointing out the crazy amount of money being thrown about at the moment. This thread is always going to be about Ruddy.
If the likes of Lescott, Milner, Barrie, Carroll, Henderson, Downing, Young are selling for stupid money then we are not going to sell for anything less than silly money. Fair price has nothing to do with it, we don't have to sell, therefore we don't have to be fair about it.
Not for goalkeepers who don't start for their national side. They will give you a resonable amount and your board will ****ing love it mate.
John Ruddy is going nowhere. I can't believe that this thread has run to 6 pages. We have no need to sell, and he doesn't want to go to a bigger club where he may not be 1st choice. In fact, he doesn't want to leave Norfolk; he has plants to look after. and a son settled at the local school.
"Not for goalkeepers who don't start for their national side. They will give you a resonable amount and your board will ****ing love it mate. " Ah I see, you are a twat after all. Can't be bothered with you now. Goodbye
Ask yourself, "Why doesn't he start for the national side??" Primarily because he doesn't play for a 'top 6' club. If De Gae cost £17M, then I reckon JR is worth at least £20M!!! Personally, I'd rather have JR keeping goal behind the boys in 'Yellow & Green', but we'll see what happens in January!!!
I wouldn't say Hart's place is that safe after he managed to embarrass our national team against Sweden. In the event of someone bidding for Ruddy I'll guarantee our board will take them to the cleaners pal and that's if we bother to accept it.
