Didn’t someone say Redmond wanted to move closer to family in the Midlands after recently welcoming his first child?!![]()
He's going to the Istanbul-ring...

For someone who is said to be mentally frail and needs his confidence boosted to perform, that would be a hell of a risk going there.
TBH I would rather have Redders than ElyAre Turkish clubs somewhat rich? Because they seem to be able to attract fairly big names on occasion.
Redmond is good enough for half a dozen Premier League sides still and therefore the majority of teams on the continent. Seems strange to go to Turkey.
I don’t feel that there’s that much between them in terms of quality to be honest. I still think that if we got any bids for either of them we’d sell both of them.TBH I would rather have Redders than Ely
Looks like Dubravka is off to Man U as backup. So that’s probably McCarthy staying

At least Redders appears to put in a real shift whereas Ely potters around the pitch doing very littleI don’t feel that there’s that much between them in terms of quality to be honest. I still think that if we got any bids for either of them we’d sell both of them.
Shame a bidding war couldn’t have happened a month ago, not with a few days left in the window. Bednarek is only 26, PL experienced, a full international and was our best defender (not saying a lot admittedly) for several seasons. Not to mention he’s contracted until 2025. We are happy for him to leave but I’d still like to think he’s worth at least £15m in todays market.
Don’t think the length of time left in the window is necessarily a bad thing. Teams could panic and just throw out a figure as there aren’t too many options for them now.
Interesting thing will be who we replace him with, as surely we will sign somebody and teams like Villa/West Ham would know that whoever that is is also available but prefer Bednarek
In terms of what we could get for him, and multiple teams needing a CB I suppose it could drive up his worth more than earlier in the window. I imagine it would have been better for us in terms of replacing if he had gone earlier though. That said I’m not even sure if we will replace it only Bednarek goes. If we’re confident of moving Stephens on too, even just on loan, then we’d have to bring one in, and at this stage in the window and with multiple clubs needing CBs that might be a challenge. Might end up just keeping hold of Stephens until January and then reassessing.
Unless with Lyanco in first reserve, we think Simeu is nearly ready?
Agree if both Beddy and Jack go, then we need another, probably. I'd probably shift Bednarek and keep Stephens as second reserve.
Out for the first half of the season and also far too injury prone. Missed 25 games last season with muscle injuriesI wonder if the club would consider signing Noni Madueke. I think he would be my preferred signing.
