Hearing the Raskin fee and attainable add ons will total well over £20mil
This contrary to what's being reported in the media
Great business by the club if true, also hearing Bajrami's finally off, deal that's been verbally agreed all summer is being finalized now

Where is he off to?
20 Jul 2026 19:39:58
A lot of itk guys on here have posted that Nico Raskin has known who he's signing for all along. 🤔
20 Jul 2026 19:55:09
So who is he aligning for, Walter?
20 Jul 2026 20:01:09
John EHL posted a few days ago that Raskin has known for quite a bit of time now who he's signing for. Did not name the team.
20 Jul 2026 20:19:55
Let's all take a stab at where we think Raskin is going.
I'm going Brentford or Bologna.
20 Jul 2026 20:30:16
I'm going Villa, Gazza.
20 Jul 2026 20:40:53
I think he will go to Leeds.
20 Jul 2026 20:47:13
I thought Villa was a good fit for Raskin with Teilemens away.
20 Jul 2026 21:11:18
Villarreal. No?
20 Jul 2026 21:14:08
I honestly don't know because the club wasn't mentioned, John. 🤔
20 Jul 2026 21:15:33
If I had to guess where Raskin might be going I'd say Spain, i.e. Real Betis, perhaps. 🤔
20 Jul 2026 21:26:58
Betis, I can't see it being Leeds, they have a few. After saying that were going to sign Charles, don't think it happened. Never thought about that until writing this, so maybe possible.
20 Jul 2026 21:33:46
Hull City.
20 Jul 2026 22:04:49
I'd go with Spain or Italy for Raskin - Villareal or Roma. Both CL sides with money, though neither quite top drawer. Something tells me he would not go to an EPL side like Hull as doubt he would want to be relegation fodder and I suspect he feels he's above that.
Either way, if we get our £20m + will be delighted for him, and us. As a few have said will show you can get to a World Cup and progress playing regularly in SPL and Europe.
20 Jul 2026 22:05:11
Cheers Walter, so it's not fact, just a guessing game. What I will say is we have received no official bid for Raskin.
20 Jul 2026 22:22:23
So, nobody really knows then?
On to tomorrow!!
21 Jul 2026 12:05:01
John, did you answer the question on Raskin's buyout? I seem to remember you saying it was 10-12 million. Do you still believe that is the case, and do you still think it was a bad decision to wait until after the World Cup to sell him?
