    I think the translation seems to be saying that they were after him until he left Roma and now they’ll see if the new bloke wants him too.

    Dan Ballard probably does it more but doesn't get criticized half as much.

    I get why fans are pro Luke and the lad has given everything for this club and yes he has stepped up from league 1 to the Championship. The lad is and will be always be a club legend. But the step up to the pace and skill level of the EPL is the equivalent to flying a model aircraft and taking control of a 747. we cannot be sentimental about one of our greatest servants during some of our darkest days in our history. But the thought of Haaland, Cole, Salah, Cunah, Isak, etc etc running full pelt at Luke is a scary thought. As an opposition coach, you would absolutely target Luke. We need to bolster our defence as a matter of urgency. I did read that RLB and KS have already stated this is a priority. This is not " having a go " its simply looking at an obvious situation the club needs to deal with to try and be competitive in what is an incredibly difficult league

    They changed these rules a while ago in fairness

    mutual grappling tends not to be a foul, it’s just the blatantly obvious stuff that gets pulled

    Not saying you’re wrong because I don’t know but defenders aren’t always toe to toe pace wise with strikers. Luke’s defensive positioning and reading of the game is good. Better than he’s given credit and probably better than Ballards and no slower. Ballard is an amazing ball winner so great for marking a target man.

    Na we can’t afford him now.

    Wirtz has set a barrier Rudoni easily £187million now.

    Hopefully we can loan out Nectarios Traintis to the Championship

    And tie down Dennis Cirkin to a new contract

    I would sell Triantis personally, if a club wants him. I would wish him well, but not sure he comes back in and plays for us again, judging by the likely tfr market we now shop in.

    I was for a loan move but I think the right thing to do is sell him and add a sell on % to his deal

    He is 22 now and while I think he will have a really good career, I'm not sure I see a PL footballer which is the types we need now

    I made this comment the other week

    he’s had two loans never had a sniff of football here. He came in as a promising 20 year old but hasn’t developed imo.

    yes he’s had a good season in Scotland in midfield but he’s not good enough for the premier league and we’re just stinting his career

    Yeah mate, 100%. Being fair to players is important. He could go and have a good career at a club. We need to give him that option.

    The only value in a loan, as I see it, is an insurance policy if we go down. But we will have other lads like Harrison Jones I suspect, and the next academy group to think of for that.

    Interested to see where Harrison jones goes next season, been really impressed by his cameos, thought he was abit too slight at first but he never looked out of place, top end league one or a club like Bradford with a big passionate crowd would be a good shout

    Not sure about this part, but agree that I don't mind a sale as long as it's more than that £1m being banded about - that would be poor.

    When you then combine this with playing at a decent level as a starter you end up with:
    Stije Resink
    Matvey Kislyak
    Amadou Kone
    Silas Andersen

    I think in order of who I'd want here:
    1. Amadou Kone
    2. Stije Resink
    3. Matvey Kislyak
    4. Silas Andersen
