As I mentioned yesterday, I heard directly from an ex town player who played with rudoni, that rudoni is an absolute weapon and a huge part of the dressing room problems over last couple of years. He also mentioned that burgzorg apparently left before the end of the game against Birmingham but that’s another story.

So basically Rudoni and Burgzorb where shit in the dressing room but both have gone to
Teams that will be challenging at top
of Championship.

Good point.
warnock rated him and has said in interviews that he was superb.
I will believe Warnock and not tittle tattle.

Call me old fashioned but I like my footballers to be good on the pitch. How they are in the dressing room and off the field are secondary concerns really. It’s all about Saturday 3pm and delivering.

But we only saw him in the match. Sounds like he contributed to the complete lack of professionalism off the pitch, and that helped to relegate us. Yes he tried, but remember also the complete lack of fight, resilience and number of times we fell apart and had lads rowing on the pitch. Sounds like he contributed to creating that atmosphere in the squad. Also let’s not forget he missed some absolute gubbers, and that’s what we bought him for. This attitude and unprofessionalism must have been a fairly new thing because we all know that Warnock wouldn't have put up with that kind of shit. You could see it on the pitch. Swansea at home was a complete disgrace. |

Hes gone.....and we move on.
Whether he becomes cov's version of jude bellingham or not, the facts dont lie here. Was average at best.
Weve got v good money for him though which suggests he has something - shame he didnt show enough with us but time to focus on our players who want to play here now. Weve all spent too long looking backwards at the shitshow of the last 5 years-me included. Cant change it - onwards and hopefully upwards.

What do you mean - sounds like- We as mere fans can only judge on the pitch. His actual stats from Wimbledon to us in terms of games played and contributions are outstanding. Lack of professionalism off the pitch - what the hell does that smear mean.Are you saying he ran a gang of tossing it off players….- He spoke at the White Rose after match three times and was superb straight after the match. So he scuffed a few shots….. Do you work down there ar Canalside? Who is your mole I bet his athletic stats/miles covered per game are great, but he only managed 15 goal contributions in 81 games for us, which for a player in his position is pretty poor really. |

He would have been an asset in league one and he was one of our better players last season. Which doesnt say alot. But im not arsed hes gone. I wouldn't be particularly bothered at any player we currently have leaving, providing we reinvest.

Good point. warnock rated him and has said in interviews that he was superb. I will believe Warnock and not tittle tattle. Thing is Warnock can manage pretty much anyone and get them onside, doesn't mean Rudoni wasn't a bit of a dick. We only see what's on the pitch, Sorba and Rudoni always looked to be the hardest workers but doesn't mean to say they're not a bad influence in the dressing room. As for the fee, if it is as big as some are saying, maybe, just maybe, Robins and the Coventry scouts know more about football than the DATM experts. Seems a good do for all sides to me. Looking forward to seeing us splash the cash and maybe a little more, building a quality squad. |

Looking forward to seeing us splash the cash and maybe a little more, building a quality squad. Completely agree with you. If Rudoni goes on and has a great career then it doesn’t mean this sale is a mistake. Wouldn’t be at all surprised to see him go on and do really well. The reality is though that he’s been part of a side that has been pretty rubbish for two years and hasn’t necessarily done what we expected he might for us (not saying that’s all on him BTW). We’ve quadrupled (or more) our initial investment in him which should allow us to strengthen considerably. Think it’s a deal that makes sense all round. |

Rudoni in his Coventry interview said he had heard of interest from Coventry pre the summer window. Assume interest was increased towards the end of the season and lack of professionalism seen and AB sub at Ipswich in first 30 mins, Rudoni basically knew he was offski

Kasumu saying "Showtime brother" as if he had just signed for Real Madrid. It's ridiculous if Coventry managed to turn his head so much to the point he downed tools. Fair enough if it was one of the clubs getting promoted or even one coming down from the Prem. But Coventry? Deary me |

Recent FA Cup semi finalists - arguably should have been in the final. 2 very strong seasons. They will more than likely be in the top 6 this season. |

Also the fact that a club is spending £6m or whatever is a validation of his worth as a player. No-one is ever going to spend that on Kasumu for instance. I’d say to some people they have a ‘fallen giants’ type aura because they were down in league 2 and spent a fair bit of the 90s in the PL. They outplayed Man U in the cup semi and won it on the 80s. |

Wolves, West Brom, Villa all bigger. |

Wolves, West Brom, Villa all bigger. I'm not over 50 and started watching football mid 80's. Coventry were streets ahead of both West Brom and Wolves late 80s and early 90's as both spent a chunk of time in bottom 2 divisions while Coventry were in the top division for a fairly consistent period of time. I suppose it all depends on where you start. |

Todays youth haven’t heard of man united. |

Assume interest was increased towards the end of the season and lack of professionalism seen and AB sub at Ipswich in first 30 mins, Rudoni basically knew he was offski By pre-summer he means over an extended period. They have been following him since he was at Wimbledon and POSSIBLY made an approach in the same window we signed him. He'll know they've been watching him throughout the entirety of last season. |

Least I saw was BBC (playing to a West Midlands audience) saying £3.6m-£3.8m which is at least 20% above your figure. I was a Rudoni fan and I think that fee is reasonable for a player wanting out. |

The first 5 mins I saw him play I said straight away we’ve got a proper footballer on our hands here. If he learns composure and how to finish he’ll be a serious player but I’m not entirely sure he will. Some players just don’t have it.

Decent fee for him. He'll kick on and become a better player under Robins who I reckon will have Coventry in the play offs this year.

I think you can take that figure a number of ways. It could be the up front payment, with the 'add-ons' being the amount due to AFC Wimbledon, his agent and any fees we have to pay to Rudoni to clear his existing contract. With performance based add-ons on top of that. It looks like transfer market have the fee at £5.9M. |
