Molson Canadian Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 Is it confirmed the St.Etienne sell on percentage ? I have read between 20%-30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenom Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 I think selling him over 80 million is good business. I’m just not confident we’ll be able to spend that money well in the market. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then can use 80m to buy 2 first team ready players - rw and cb. Yeah! Its as easy as that. In fact its like pulling elephant's teeth.

Unfortunately this is the sandbox you play in when a club like Leicester gets involved with this kind of talent and this kind of maturity. The interesting thing to me is I really do feel like it's in his best interest to play the season with LCFC and gain the necessary experience. Chelsea is accumulating assets because the American owner wants to prove to everyone he's going to be up to Abramovich's standard when it comes to spending - and he's got a manager who's basically on a drunken spending spree. It's not going to end well for them - I think you can draw some similarities to Manu - other than Chelsea has better talent for the time being. Leicester needs to move on from this s--t show, move forward with players who actually want to be here and get the ship righted. If he wants to leave now, f--- him. Let him go and sulk on their bench when he's not starting. Get a good chant ready for him a la Maguire when he returns to the King Power. Wont happen he’ll just get a standing applause and be sucked off in the same fashion Kante does by the same supporters who act like there in a library for 90 minutes typically.

Well getting the first two off Chelsea wouldn't be that difficult and having 80m in the market at the end of the window is actually quite favourable as lots of sides need to sell.

Sangaré extended, Badiashile or Kasper's new mate Todibo we will get rinsed for, Madueke is injured Chukwueze, Diop, Bourigeaud? I just don't see how we can possibly do something in the market this late to make up for the quality we lose in Wes That is a good question. Whoever we look to sign right now the fee will increase as you correctly said. We also still have to remove 1-2 players just to submit a 25 man squad without wasting money on wages. Signing players will not be easy. Potentially we are better off keeping the money, looking after the clubs finances, put towards the stadium expansion, give the new head of recruitment time to find the right player and do not rush into any situation. If a player does not want to be here, get as much money as we can and let him go. 85million is a lot of money. Having 2 players who would rather be elsewhere will have a negative impact on the rest of the players. Worst case I think will finish 14th. Our starting 11 is still a strong one.

Dahnsouff Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 Just now, filbertway said: He's not, but it's excellent value regardless. They either get a top class CB for 10 years or they sell him in his prime and make the majority of the money back. Much better value than signing Vestergaard for £15 million. Or Drinkwater for £35 million. Or Maguire for £80 million. Yes he is, but the Maguire deal will deter many from paying such a price, especially from us. He has been poor, and the price will be a factor in where it went wrong with Maguire, or at least people interpretation of where it went wrong.

Molson Canadian Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 Looks like the following, correct me if i'm wrong: We paid 38.5 million in 2020 with him with a rumoured 30% sell on clause on future fees back to St.Etienne We are now rumored to be getting a bid of 80 million from Chelsea 30% of that 80 million would go to St.Etienne (24 million) leaving us with 56 million from the transfer 56 million minus his original transfer fee of 38.5 million = profit of $17,500,000 Also non of these figures take into account agent fee's, wages, other stuff etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the ideal scenario should he leave, get lots of cash, fill the gaps with good loans, loads out of contract next summer ready for a proper rebuild then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertfox2 Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 With the St Etienne sell on clause aren't we better trying to get players from Chelsea plus a fee instead of just a huge fee? Chalobah would be one. We should steer clear of CHO just because of the injury. Ziyech or Pulisic on loan would solve a problem while we decide on who to reinvest the money in to for the RW position. Ziyech might still go AC Milan, can't see Man Utd signing him over Antony at Ajax who looks a world beater. Newcastle apparently interested in Pulisic on loan so surely we can compete with that. Especially holding this ace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Kopfkino Posted 16 August 2022 Share Posted 16 August 2022 18 minutes ago, filbertway said: We've had all summer to sort out and scout a replacement, so if we did decide to sell him, there should be no excuses about panic signings. Either back your squad or sign a well scouted target. There is absolutely no need to shell out money on a player unless you're confident they'll fit in, absolutely no reason at all. A loan is fine, but signing a player on a 3+ year contract to plug a gap is dumb. He's not, but it's excellent value regardless. They either get a top class CB for 10 years or they sell him in his prime and make the majority of the money back. Much better value than signing Vestergaard for £15 million. Or Drinkwater for £35 million. Or Maguire for £80 million. We don’t have a head of recruitment, our reported top target has already gone elsewhere and the person that would have been responsible for putting together a target list isn’t rated by many on here. That we panicked ourselves into Vestergaard last year surely doesn’t inspire hope? Add that to the fact last time we did this we ended up going for targets we didn’t want to pay the quoted prices for and ended up with Ryan Bennett on loan in January. And the fact that if we sell this summer, the fee is useless to us for the new UEFA FFP rules. Sure we’d have the cash but we’d be doing our refresh in two weeks with no head of recruitment and some of our preferred targets elsewhere. That the spoilt little child is throwing his toys out of the pram makes it tricky for us but just hold firm. He’ll get over himself and we’ll get as much next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon the club must have at least an option on a couple if they let this go through and that's what they will have spent the last few weeks doing.

Personal terms are agreed with the player before any discussion is held with the selling club. Every. Single. Time. Can only be officially done with the selling clubs permission and since it is still being reported that our position is not for sale we will not have allowed hence it would be tapping up. Yes it does happen in sales but the selling club has to allow it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
