MPH Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 15 minutes ago, lcfcbluearmy said: We've said multiple times he's not for sale and he has just signed a 5 year contract. It's late in the window and the season starts on Sunday I very much doubt it as a club we would prepare for every eventuality. Players could have a career ending injury tomorrow. Everyone has a replacement already earmarked. But you are right in one aspect- if we can’t get a replacement in, we wouldn’t sell him.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honeybradger Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 I remember it was around this time last year (actually probably earlier) when fofana instantly became unavailable to us. As we will hopefully have learned from the Vestegaard signing this is a really bad time in the window to buy a panic replacement. Logically he wont go this window unless it is for an absurd price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be surprised to see the spending another 85m, that's would be a whopping 245m in one window excluding other targets they have been linked with. i got a little laughing emoji yesterday when i suggested they could spend upto 300m if deals for Cucurella, Fofana, FDJ & Kyle Walker Peters all went through which is all possible, its not like they edging their bets in 1 position, they all in different positions 2x WB, 1 CB & a midfielder. When the guy took over he promised 200m, they are going to spend & & if that quality pushes him over i think he will go north of that 200m Edited 5 August 2022 by BKLFox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 The difference between this season and the last one is that Johnny appears to be fit again. We have a month to be patient, i’m not worried about Soy playing a handful of games and there’s even a chance he steps up for us again. if we can’t trust the club to replace him, then we were always going to be fooked eventually. On his own, wes wouldn’t pull us to success. 3/4 high quality signings with his transfer fee could. Chelsea look like morons, because he wasn’t even their top target yet their dropping their pants for him 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 Would be great if this worked for us. Chelsea had an agreement with Fofana on personal terms but Leicester wouldn't sell him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goose2010 Posted 5 August 2022 Share Posted 5 August 2022 Can see this happening next season. Colwill will go on loan and Chelsea will help he adds to his price tag. They will use him as a bargaining chip next season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely think it would depend on who we could get as a replacement as at this point in the window it would be nearly impossible to get a decent replacement for anything less than an massively inflated fee as no one is going to want yo let them go this close to the start of the season. So I think he stays this year next year is a different matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Evan's beside him, I think Cags can do it again. he’s more than capable and at his best is a very good player. If there’s a decent defender around for 20m then the combo of evan soy and him (with big dan for emergencies) is fine. I personally question if a centre back is ever worth the type of money we are talking about because defending is something that on any day someone like huth can do as well as fofana. Rw on the other hand, something a bit special wins you more games. A real shame richards has already gone to place though. I would be very happy if we got all the dosh and a free loan of sarr though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
