    I couldn't care what they say tbh

    Rudoni is a very talented footballer, as is Jobe - very different players but both will have cracking careers

    Supporters often hype up their own players, we've probably all done it with ours

    Transfer fees aren't just about what a player is like for now, but it's also about what they could become in the future

    what will be annoying is when fans of other clubs say "look how much Dortmund have developed him from being an average championship midfielder" :D

    Find people very very quick to dismiss ekwah tbh. He was excellent, absolutely brilliant in his first season. Picked up an injury and wasn't great in the second but he had a million managers and everyone was ****. He might not fit into an rlb team but I think the lad has a lot of quality

    we were stifling him,

    stopping him from reaching his full potential

    We had a point though.

    Rudoni is worth half a Jobe.

    They'll think they have a point. My point is that often fans do over-rate their own players and under-rate others. Archie Gray is absolutely brilliant and his first season at Spurs has proven that. He may well go on to play more games for England than either Jobe or Rigg but there will be nobody here who'd have swapped them, including me (and understandably so)

    Would love us to sign Rudoni, quality player who I think could make the transition to the EPL... As for value, its subjective, A player is worth as much as the buying team want to pay... if its not enough, he stays where he is

    yep, so many variables in a transfer fee
    • what the buying club is willing to pay
    • how much additional incentives are in the deal (such as sell on fees - for instance we might sell Rigg for £30m + a 50% sell on fee rather than sell him for £50m now)
    • what agents are charging
    • what the selling club values the player at
    • how much money the selling club has available to spend
    • how necessary it is for the selling club to sell (i.e. you don't need to sell if you don't need to bring anyone new in but you might if you need to rebuild your squad)
    • how much sell on there is to a previous club
    • how long the player has on his contract
    • how agitated / disruptive will the player be if offers are turned down

    that's just of the top of my head.

    And that's before you consider that ALL transfer fees that are made public have been spun by either the buying club or selling club when they've briefed journalists. That's why you get slightly differing reports.

    At the end of the day we'll never know the actual fees and just have to trust the club do whats right (which I do)

    I have watched that goal over and over again and I am convinced it was an og. If you have a chance to watch it in slowmo give it a try.

    Some big things in the pipeline, I bet. @Lucky19672 hinted we are trying to bring in someone very high profile - if that comes to fruition, of course.

    He’s had more bad games than good for SAFC. Just not what we need

    We didn’t say more though, just more than was being mooted which was next to nowt for Rigg and around 10m for Jobe. I’d say rudoni is worth 12m, with your typical team bias I’d understand them saying perhaps 18m
