Sugawara is confirmed as loan with option.

 

Well that'll cement Bazunu as no1 with no competition then

 

Leicester fans slag of their football director Ruskin, imagine what it’s like to have a good player come in before you’re selling a current 1st team player in the same position??

 

I'm taking a punt that they won't be exercising their option.

Interestingly, they were also the club who had the option to make Roerslev's loan permanent, and didn't take it up either. So we've basically just swapped players.

 

I’ve always been confused as to how they’ve managed to break the rules by so much. The season they were relegated with us (the first time) I’m sure they didn’t spend anything, then lost the players you mentioned and Maddison as well after relegation. Then it didn’t feel like they spent much after promotion.

These historic charges probably aren’t impacting their latest 3 year cycle

 

I mean, he was always going to be. We needed a third choice GK to replace Lumley.

 

I think it was the two year period immediately prior to their first relegation season which really hurt them. Their wage bill was enormous (for a club of their income level) and I think their only major sale was Fofana to Chelsea, at the very start of that relegation season.

They did also waste a lot of money in the January transfer window of their first relegation season (just like we did). Only now has that dropped out of their cycle.

When they then did start selling players again, it was counter-balanced somewhat by the loss of PL income.

 

That was Wolfsburg, no?

 

Oh so it was! Getting my German W clubs mixed up.

 

One for the kids.

 

I think we could do with a CM even if Matty stays as we don't have much depth there really assuming Smallbone and Aribo go.

 

Unless he fulfills his ability and improves his value or becomes a better player than what we have once the loan concludes.

 

Ings and Redmond currently training with Sheffield Utd, with both potentially signing short term deals?

 

They miss the red and white stripes

 

Redmond's only 31 so that could be a nice pick up for Sheff United.

 

A shame Sugawara didn’t work out.
He was supposed to be better than KWP….

 

I imagine Redmond and particularly Ings would want big wages for the championship. Haven’t watched Redmond for years so no idea what level he is capable of these days but Ings is still a very good player when fit.

 

Redmond barely kicked a ball during his two years at Burnley, which doesn't bode well. He might not be ancient, but it would hardly scream "ambition" by Sheff Utd.

 

Dibling to Everton seems to be done.

 

Dibling passed his medical, all looking done now.
