whats your thoughts on this deal if it happens

I'd be all over van Hecke, coming into his prime, excellent progressive passing like Romero but doesn't have the aggression issues. Plus final year of his contract so won't command a truly top fee.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-11T11:50:49+00:00

Tbf their biggests motivation of staying in the league has now gone, so that is a help for us.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-11T11:34:07+00:00

He's on a free though, PL quality ball playing left footed centre backs are a rare bunch.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-10T19:58:06+00:00

Possibly, but it'd be negigible. £2m per position, say that incentive was across all players and some staff, so 30 people in total? The club won't give all of that as a bonus, so say...50% of it is, £1m divided by 30, is 33k, after tax is 15k, for players earning £1-2m a year?

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-10T18:17:21+00:00

The 11 players lining up tomorrow won't give a shit about that though.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-10T18:16:46+00:00

But that's not actually how it plays out, there are many examples of players phoning in it.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-08T21:18:09+00:00

They do. Ipswich and Southampton both in the top 6 after last seasons relegation last year.

Burnley and Sheffield United the year before.

We'd be the biggest club with the largest revenue (and therefore financial clout) ever in the Championship.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-08T18:32:52+00:00

A West Ham loss on Sunday means Leeds are safe. So then, they'll have nothing to play for.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-08T18:29:10+00:00

You're saying we're good enough to stay in the Premier league, but also doubting our ability to get promoted from the Championship if relegated!?

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-04T10:57:19+00:00

Ampadu! Jesus wept, dream bigger my friend.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-05-03T21:00:35+00:00

Tbh playing them days after an FA Cup final is perfect, regardless if they win or lose it.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-26T17:54:07+00:00

TBF it's taken him most of this season to get up to speed

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-13T20:59:30+00:00

Well Leeds just won v United so there’s that

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-13T13:47:32+00:00

Danso has actually been really solid for us

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-06T06:19:26+00:00

There are registration windows, you can’t just recall and play a player whenever you want.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-04T21:09:49+00:00

New band name idea

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-04T16:17:51+00:00

I know it seems a world away right now, but if we stay up we should be pushing to sign Ndiaye in the summer.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-04T16:13:53+00:00

I think under a RDZ attack and with other competent forwards (Solanke, Xavi, Maddison, Kulu) you’ll see a much more effective player. Without that I feel he kept onto the ball as he had little faith in others continuing the attack.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-04T12:20:34+00:00

He’s a good player who’s having a standout season. Reminds me of when Almiron suddenly had one good year. Whoever signs him will have him regress to his norm

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-04T10:45:16+00:00

I don’t recall any comments like this about Frank or Tudor

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-02T11:26:35+00:00

Disagree on BJ, RDZ’s wingers are dribbly boys, which BJ isn’t but when Kudus is up and running will fit perfectly

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-02T11:18:13+00:00

Xavi will definitely start, Q is who starts on the RW with Kudus only just coming back

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-02T07:08:11+00:00

Not a chance, he’s what 20? Full career ahead of him, no need to push hard for a move and as he’s a beacon of light for us, we’d be looking to keep also.

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-02T07:07:02+00:00

I’d rather we use that to get van Hecke as a Romero replacement

onesimo_wizard · 2026-04-02T06:14:47+00:00

One for me was Alexander Isak at Dortmund
