With the financial rules are We in a position where we really need to sell players to be able to buy? I hoped with the loan players away and the reduction of wage bill we would be stronger for this window but all I read seems to dispel that.

OWS.
We have money to spend and we have some real opportunities to grow our income - however we also have 30 first team players on the books.
We have to be patient and prudent.
So yes, other than a couple of key positions it'll be one in and one out.

Raskin going for rumoured 25m would be massive for the club and RM rebuild, however, likelyhood would be around half of that into the transfer pot.

Cannot believe we can get that amount of money for Raskin, but unlike the majority, I cannot see him as a big player. He is good, but he does not have the physique of a great player (he is on the chubby side), neither he has good English communication skills. I would recommend him a top French side, rather than EPL.

Perfectly entitled to your opinion soccerfan, but imo raskin has all the midfield attributes to play for a top ten club in the english premier league. I remember when nico came back from his injury that he stated he shed a few pounds and changed his fitness methods and felt terrific for it. Not that i'm comparing here for a second mate, but a remember very well he's on the chubby side, was aimed at a mr. paul gascoigne.

Soccer fan that is a terrible take on a player considering you backed hagi ?.

Nico Raskin chubby and not very good? Hahahaha aye behave, only thing let's him down which is completely out with his control is he's not the favoured 6 feet and above that people look for, to his credit he's actually not bad in the air, Raskin is a very good player and actually a vital. player for us and should not be sold on the cheap, anything near the £25 mill reported I believe he will be away, would love him to stay but need to learn from past mistakes sell when stock is high, but if he did stay a another season or two with the armband to match I'd be very happy too.

For not being the tallest Raskin was excellent in the air last season, he must have worked on it.
23 Jun 2025 07:35:33
Soccerfan, that's absolutely garbage. He's a top athlete, doesn't stop running and is now one of Belgium's main CMs, physicality has never been a problem for him - explosive in the air etc as we seen last year. What a honking take.
I wish people would stop speaking about real athletes physiques as if they know anything about performance, same stuff Alfie used to get it's embarrassing.

Soccer fan, there's not many English players with good communication skills, have you heard them?!
23 Jun 2025 08:24:19
Soccerfan, Remember you raved about a bang average player, Raskin will have a far better career than him.
23 Jun 2025 08:37:34
Raskin chubby and his english communication skills aren't great? ? Honestly how do you make these conclusions, he's categorically not chubby and can speak english, everyone can have their own opinions but that opinion is just completely wrong it's funny.

Interesting to read Raskin described as chubby.
He was actually carrying a higher % muscle mass than our Sports Science team recommended (part of what PC and NK implemented) .
Once he trimmed this his performance levels shot up and his injury issues decreased.
Think he's spoken about it pretty openly.

Football is a universal language
Messi doesn't speak English at all basically and he is still pretty decent, not sure if you have heard of him though
Raskin is a class act, not scared to get stuck in and has a bit of fight in him.
Pretty sure he scored most headers last season for us (might be wrong)

Raskin chubby omfg that made me laugh. Raskin game would step up another level if he was in prem league and playing with elite level players.
23 Jun 2025 09:43:15
Raskin been a cut above last six months from box to box, every part of his game has got better, keepin him for one more season and getting it right in the ins and outs of our transfers would give us a good chance winning things, if he goes for top dollar then so be it.
23 Jun 2025 09:53:19
Done him with that one Ally?.
