Shroppie Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 Can’t see us signing him, think it’ll be tight but my gut says he’ll stay in Russia and we’ll be left with the usual “we tried but it’s really hard” bull**** as usual.I probably agree that we're unlikely to get this one done, but it is actually true to say it's hard to push a deal through, especially in January when it's known that we have money, and in the modern era of aggressive agents touting players round as many clubs as they can. We might get him at the last moment if he sees no one else is coming in with a better offer and decides we're a stepping stone into the Prem. But greed rules everything.

View From The Top Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 Moscow want all the money up front apparently and that's a sticking point, or so I'm told. No more news regarding the agent/player's view to the move though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 To meet a release clause it has to be all up front, doesn't it? Could be wrong on that. I'd assume so. You'd think a release clause would make this one easy if we really want him (and assuming he wants to come to us) then pay the release clause and what Spartak want becomes irrelevant. If we aren't prepared to meet the release clause then why are we bothering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Scott Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 La Liga blocked the transfer. So psg and Neymar had to go around it by getting Neymar to buy out his contract. So I imagine that was actually the case. Crazy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 If we are paying out for Quincy, then I reckon one of Tadic, Boufal ,or Redman is likely to be sold to offset the fee.

CB Fry Posted 28 January, 2018 Author Share Posted 28 January, 2018 Not sure why a release clause would be all up front but it probably means it can't be conditional - ie you get another £2m once we win the Europa League. Please just sign him Saints. Just effing do it Les. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful Idiot Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 Redmond was descent under Puel, especially up to the cup final, think he actually got pretty close to the best out of him. After that he really went of the boil. He's been shocking for MoPe though. Picks the ball up from out wide, level with the top of the box, then runs back in a semi circle and shoots from about 30 yards, normally slicing the ball into the crowd. Not sure if it's tactical or just a complete lack of confidence. Might be a bit of both, to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Pete Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 I wouldn’t be that shocked if there was something in the offing with Redmond given how he has disappeared from the squad in last couple of games.

hypochondriac Posted 28 January, 2018 Share Posted 28 January, 2018 I do think redmond has regressed more than any other player this year. I don't think he was particularly great last year but its definitely got worse. Whether we would be able to offload him though is a different matter. I do think were we to get relegated he could be a good asset under the right manager and with his confidence back. He has the weapons to be very effective.

SonicBoom Posted 29 January, 2018 Share Posted 29 January, 2018 Redmond certainly doesn't seem to have progressed much since he's been here. He's not a regular in the side - although to be fair there are very few players who are regulars under Pellegrino. Then again I saw Antonio play for us. Seemed quick but pretty brainless and just ran the ball out of play constantly. He went to Forest etc and ended up at West Ham where he became one of their best players and got into the England squad. I suppose that shows that players develop at different rates and so you don't want to give up on them too quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
