Subscriber Dan+ 1,915 Posted July 27, 2022 Subscriber Share Posted July 27, 2022 Once again, like Schmeichel, I thought this would be next summer. Players need to go but there is a worry that if none of the ones we want to go, we're going to end up having to cash in on players we don't want to. I want nine figures. He's ace. Probably the best centre half I've seen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cicero 5,265 Posted July 27, 2022 Author Share Posted July 27, 2022 Does feel like a kick in the bollocks for Leicester this (If true). They have every right to demand something insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have every right to demand something insane. £100m+. At a bare minimum. Reflects the talent, potential, value to us and the huge gaping hole he'd leave behind. Would be devastated if we lost him so soon. Feel like we've missed out on seeing him play in person because of his injury and Covid. Also expected this to be next summer and still do. But part of me worries that we need to sell to free up funds and wages to do any business this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,180 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Are Leicester fucked by FFP or something? Seen no real news about any incoming players & just news of players looking to potentially move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seen no real news about any incoming players & just news of players looking to potentially move on. Not really fucked, but our wage to turnover ratio is horrendous. So we need players to leave to raise some funds. We have money, just that we can't break the bank with signings that will want big money. The poor transfers last season are messing us now - Vestergaard and Bertrand especially who are on silly money compared to the low output they gave. So we just need to get rid of some players before we can buy. My preferences to leave would be those two, Choudhury, Amartey, Soyuncu. On top of Kasper (who was rightfully earning a lot) that frees up a fair bit of money. Castagne possibly too as a sacrificial lamb, so to speak. I just hope we don't lose anyone else on top of Kasper and the likely Tielemans exit whenever that may be. Thankfully Ricardo, Maddison and Fofana all signed contracts recently so are tied down for longer and therefore will need big money to move.

Administrator Stan 18,367 Posted July 27, 2022 Administrator Share Posted July 27, 2022 Also @Dr. Gonzo the downside of it all is that we've missed out on some very decent prospects which we realistically could have been in for signing. De Ketalaere, Scamacca, Cheick Doucoure are good examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,271 Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 No chance this is even close to 100m (surely tongue in cheek shouts?). 55-60m and it’ll be done I reckon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No tongue in cheek here. Like I said, there's a price to be paid for a player of his quality and more importantly, how we (Leicester) value him. If Chelsea want him, they have to pay what the seller wants... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you genuinely think you’ll get 100m? Or within 20m of that figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put it this way, if we don't, I'll be disappointed. I don't think he'll even go this summer, which is why I think it needs to be that much to even consider selling him. Maguire goes for £80m. Fofana is hugely better than him. As a comparison point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latest is that Chelsea 'have agreed terms with Fofana' but we've rejected first offer. Whatever happened to having a bid accepted first before player is allowed to talk to a new club?!

Don't think its ever been the case. It's asking the club permission to speak with the player. If you go over the club's head, you get fined. Ala Ashley Cole.

Club have clearly okayed the move, pre-agreeing the personal details makes the move quicker to wrap up once a fee has been agreed upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
