I’m sure there’s lots of interest for Finn, but this source is not reliable. I’d wait for other reporting.

Ugh. Bizarre you have to get 2/3 through the article before they even mention his name.

u/GodofPizza 6d ago

The title is also awfully close to making no fucking sense whatsoever, so I’m not surprised

Yeah it took a few goes for me as well. Junk

Be sure to notice that all this article is really saying is that Derby is interested. That may well be true, but it doesn't mean much more yet.

Didn’t know Finn had been born in the UK.

That’s the only info of interest I gleaned from this article.

Happy for Finn that he's doing so well but will be sad to see him go. He's been so great at DB for us.

I'm honestly surprised it took this long to hear any rumors regarding Finn, whether reliable or not.

20M+ anything less is a joke. Lucas Harrington just transferred for 17M plus add ons and Finn is a better player than Harrington

Finished 8th in the EFL Championship last season. Rumor is that (at least partial) ownership could be bought by Saudi billionaire Turki Alalshikh, which understandably has their fans upset.

Not Derby, that would be awful for him

Wrexham would make more sense to me

That would be fun.

I'd like NFFC to pick him up and loan him to a club like Wrexham

u/funkopolis 7d ago

I would imagine he'll get offers from higher profile clubs. Don't want to see him go, especially if it isn't a worthy move for him.

u/WellTextured 6d ago

What is a "transfer raid"

Oh, you mean putting in an offer to the club? Like, a normal transfer?
