    But DL was still running the business so VV didn’t have full say at all. As we all know, DL was required to sign off on just about everything, including the hiring of TF and the players in and out. If DL had gone at the end of the 24/25 season, would VV had been able to get the Eze deal over the...

    I’d be very surprised if Robertson joined us being happy as second choice. He will absolutely push Udogie for a starting spot.

    Yes, indeed. I don’t want these fly-by-night people anywhere near our club. Re: the Lewis kids aka “nepo babies”, they need to be given time to see their impact on us. They only really took control after the season had already started, and their guy, VV, was allowed to be in charge of the...

    Remember that ENIC only owns approx 86% of THFC shares, so even if someone buys 25% of ENIC’s shares, that only gives them about 21-22% of THFC. However, there are various control issues such as the voting rights of those shares, board seats etc. which could have further impact on the...

    Some of it would depend on whether or not DL’s shares include a seat on the Board.

    Can’t say the business record of the potential new investors is instilling any confidence in me that they will act as good long-term stewards of the club.

    Not doubting you but my view is that I would be surprised to see RDZ start the season with a young, PL-untested CB. I think he’s going to want to hit the ground running and not want inexperience to cause us to drop points.

    Maybe, and saying this as someone who has not watched a single minute of Bundesliga ever, RDZ thinks he needs to develop his on-ball abilities? Given the signings/targeting of both Senesi and JCVD it would appear this is an area he requires his CBs to excel at. If he’s our 4th or 5th choice...

    He may start playing again in November but he won’t be ready to start or play a considerable role till the new year at the earliest.

    But needs a large enough squad to compete domestically and in Europe, while having an excellent track record of developing young players and playing good, possession-based football. He’d be out of the spotlight down there a lot more than in London too, where he could maybe just keep learning...

    If the rumors that he wants to reunite with RDZ are true then that weakens their hand even more.

    No chance JPVH goes for that with only one year left on his contract, especially if Guehi went for 25 mil. By contrast, Romero has at least 3 years left, is in the prime of his career, is a WC winner and has a much higher profile.

    Romero 60 mil Dragusin 20 mil Danso 35 mil (quite conservative valuation, think he could be worth more given his age and contract length) TOTAL: 115 mil JVPH 30 mil (max for a guy with one year left) Sensei Free Vuskovic No Cost Potentially enough to buy Savinho plus some extra.

    If we sold Romero and Dragusin, and brought in JPVH, Senesi and Vuskovic, there is a solid business case to be made for selling Danso, especially with no European football next season. It appears RDZ wants CBs who excel at progressing the ball and, notwithstanding his many positives, that is an...

    If we could buy JPVH and sell for Dragusin for a net 10 mil cost, that would be an excellent piece of business.

    True but BHA are no mugs and have an excellent history of getting top dollar for the players they sell.

    I would imagine BHA are looking for a similar fee to that which City paid for Guehi…35 mil.

    Sorry if I wasn’t more clear… Van Hecke only has one year left. Micky VdV has three years left. Hence why we would be in a strong negotiating position if we were selling him.
