In honesty, if his club are going to long this one out, I’d rather see us go all out to get either Rudoni or Hamer. We need reinforcements now & they are both proven at this level. As much as Eduard looks mustard he still has potential to flop like the other SR signings
Rudoni has said no apparently, no links at all to Hamer which means he probably isn’t on our radar, as much as he should be
Krasnodar with a six nil win today, Spertsyan with a goal and three assists, 4 goals and 6 assists in 6 games this season. earn your money Spors
Yeah always felt like the player wasn’t that fussed about the move. Only way it happens is if the release clause is true and nobody else comes in for him, then it’s a straight decision between staying and joining us. Either way I can’t see it being resolved til like deadline day, unless he moves somewhere else
Yes I thought that. Reads to me like a contract has been “altered” behind the scenes, or it’s another attempt to get us to walk away. I certainly don’t believe all this has happened if his contract was 2029 from the start
All felt a bit weird from the stories coming out. Especially the one about him earning the same money here as he would at Krasnodar. A week or so to go and we’ll see how it all works out, does feel unlikely he’ll be here though and the timing of our improved offer being on the same day all the Azaz stuff broke as well made me think this one was definitely off.
There have been various conflicting reports throughout this whole saga. The whole it's not happening because Saints can't promise they can get the money to them nonsense that came out a few days back. And now it's suddenly coming out after all this time that oh he's actually not out of contract next year, it's 2029. Sounds like more bollocks to me. I don't see how we would have come this far and not known how long his contract with them actually is and whether there is a release clause or not etc. Likewise this wouldn't have dragged on so long if we didn't know that the player was interested in joining us. Not saying I think it will happen, but it's impossible to know what's actually going on and what's true because there has been so many various conflicted reports and propaganda. I expect that if it is dead, we push for Azaz pretty quickly now that we are entering the final week and we have a lot of work to do.
If his deal is until 2029 then it makes no sense for him to commit to us or Krasnodar to sell. He'll probably have a host of clubs lined up for him next summer if he has yet another good season.
