The hysterically annoying and totally unfounded, but traditional, Summer 2024 rumours thread.

Love Fatawu. He will need to beef up this season though. Big strong boys in the prem.

Yeah, nothing like the notoriously scrawny and weak Championship lads

Difference is you can run away from the lumbering halfwits in the championship.

Prem defenders are a bit quicker

I’m sure he’d have had other 3 year offers on the table, so not sure we had much choice if we didn’t want to lose him on a free.

Reckon he had to talk Rudkin down from nine

 

[Miles Away]

He’s a 27 year old central midfielder that can play multiple positions, has bags of premier league and European experience, and knows the club. For free.

I think it’s great news.

Hopefully this manager plays him in a position that makes sense

The last one played him in a position from which he scored more goals and achieved more assists, than in any other previous season for us.

It was also his only season in the Championship.

Correct. So perhaps, given the successes he had there, letting him continue in a position where he's had joy and delivered goals and assists is a good idea. Presuming he can't or wouldn't be able to replicate it would be foolhardy.

It wouldn't though, he's nowhere near good enough for the role in the PL.

We won't play like that anyway

How do you know how we will play?
From what I have read he will want to play an attacking style rather than a defensive style.
I am sure he will ask the players about the styles they are comfortable with and try and put together a suitable approach.
