Poster on RTGO who said Povenda will sign today has been correct in the past. Maybe they have another role for the likes of Ba ?
Players leaving ? Well if it's Clarke then it's no surprise . WHU have been mentioned today. Wouldn't say I was happy but if that's the model what can you do.? Bennette , Matete , Embo seem obvious choices to create more room for younger lads.

I mentioned needing to replace Clarke's ball carrying yesterday if he leaves, Poveda is a great start with that.
From everything I've read, if we keep him fit we have a very good player on our hands. Nice free agent pickup. Definitely need some players to leave now though.

Don't think rusyn goes back, he looks happier here now and is probably settled. can concentrate on his football, if he gets a few goals early on he could be the ready made replacement if clarke does go
Think they'll persist with Rusyn personally, chased him all last summer so can't see him leaving so soon,
I also think Clarke will stay, no one is really going to pay what we're asking for him, too much of a risk imo so can see him staying for this season at least
I don’t think Rusyn will leave like mate, tbh, I think we should be playing him in from the left
I'm really surprised at the adverse reaction to Poveda signing (I shouldn't be really). He plays in a position in which we're short in numbers and in quality (Mundle, Clarke, Watson, Bennette all play from the left and Ba can cover right across the front), and he's a known quantity in this league with proven ability and experience (which those whinging the loudest were crying out for).
The only valid criticism for me, which is one I'm not seeing mentioned much, is his injury record. Maybe that's mitigated somewhat by having him and Roberts competing for the spot.

Aye - also just noticed he hasn't gone on their pre-season training camp, despite coming back to fitness at the end of last season. So he must have got injured again over the summer somehow.

skunkhater on RTG accurate again. rarely posts on there but when he does he's bang on.
Watched him a couple times last season and he was unplayable, brilliant movement n everything was done at pace
I think he is an improvement on what we have at RM - if they want a left footer cutting in on the right then it makes sense signing him
The upside is there if we can keep him fit
Def need to start getting rid of a few now
Poveda has had a similar journey as Clarke to this point.
Had to leave Barcelona when they were investigated then Brentford when they folded their academy ...
... after which he's had a bad injury, his only one as far as I know, the rest are the knocks you get in football.
So, brought on by top clubs, made the PL then lost his way.
Interestingly someone has just changed Wiki to say he's signed for Wednesday

Aye, he seems to be one of those players who if he didn't have a bad injury record, wouldn't be signing for us. He's possibly a Premier League player, or at least the very top of the Championship, when fit.
No wonder it was rejected
I'd agree but they are looking for between 10-15m. bargain that.
People say we are too overstocked but Clarke and Mundle as our LW's and Roberts, Poveda and Ba as our RW's is just good depth to me
He's taking some stick in the replies. Think he'll be on loan in the championship by January, if not the end of August.
He’s not proven really though, he’s done absolutely nothing and he’s 24. He’s played considerably less championship football than Jobe. Doesn’t have a single good season to his name. Probably be a fair enough squad player but we need to improve our Xl and this doesn’t.
Dont see it as an overload of wingers personally. Left footer, will hopefully be genuine competition for Roberts which is much needed on the right. Clarke and Mundle on the left and Ba who can cover both. Watson as the youth player who can be integrated at times during the season. I'd be happy if we ended the window with those as our options out wide, although I do think we will see Clarke leave.
