Clarkey123 Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 I’d already be looking at the availability of a top class RW behind closed doors if I was Brendan. Chances are unfortunately Chelsea come back with what we want and we could have our disaster position filled within the next 10 days. We have adequate cover in Cags for the next couple of games whilst we look for another CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with Kasper’s wages gone, we should have enough to at least bring in a RW surely? A CB as well would do for this summer at least until January Kasper’s wages only free up £6m. What winger that’s going to make a difference along with his wages are we going to get for that? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club have a set valuation of him, he’s only going to get better, so I can hardly see it being any lower. A bird (ornithology, stop it already) in the hand is worth two in the bush (oh ffs) as the saying goes, so… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we pay a salary of 60k/week then the other 3mill is worth £15m over five years amortisation. but that assumes we aren’t doing anything else with kasper’s wages … im still strapped in btw !

We wouldn’t have been able to sign Kante or Mahrez post-Brexit. Fofana also would’ve been touch and go as to whether he’d get a work permit or not, had he been signed 6 months later. I don’t know if that’s the case although my only knowledge on that subject is football manager 😂 And 7-8 times out of 10 I get a work permit on them… so… don’t think it’s completely out of the question… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has it not been a bumpy ride with these two bids we’ve had for Fofana and the ongoing will he won’t he? The club are quite clearly balancing the books with Kasper’s wages, Rodgers even said yesterday, no incomings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I feel Kasper is a damn site better than Ward and Iversen, and we should be ideally looking to bring a goalkeeper of a similar standard He didn't rank any more them mid table for most individual stats, for example he was ranked by 13th on goals prevented, it’s arguably the closest data has ever come to ranking the shot-stopping ability of goalkeepers. When you are the 3rd highest paid keeper in the league you have to be performing like one. You have to move on at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget the sell on fee to St Etienne… so no, £85m would not be enough. He needs to go for £100+ now. Theres no point to me in selling him now. It’s clear Youri is going at some point, so leave it at that. Wes is a rare accommodation he will end up being a world beater, for me as a business it would be stupid to just sell him now? When in 12 months we could sit back and watch multiple clubs fight it out to sign him. The figure he could go for could literally be ridiculous. It could really define what we could do as a club. For me, Wes isn’t for sale, let Youri be the one to go, and then promise Wes a move in the summer, and just put the ball in his court, he goes out and performs and next season we could be selling him for well above £100m.

Colwill had his loan stint last season and will now pretty much be a starter at Brighton. He's also 19. Both have played at a high level, for at least one season. There is a reason he gone to a league 2 side rather than a Championship side like Colwill and played in Ligue 1 like Fofana. Have you watched him play? He isn't at there level at the moment. Do you think if he was anywhere near the level of Fofana we would be loaning out to Rochdale? Edited 6 August 2022 by coolhandfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you including employer's NI contributions as well and presumably some kind of pension contribution etc on top of that. £6 million sounds to little to me unless he's not been on as much as people think.

I think 100 million which I presume is what you meant has to be the minimum figure and then I'd make Chelsea pay Wes's former club what they are owed too and chuck in a 20% sell on fee based on the actual sales figure and not on profit. Also all money paid upfront absolutely no installments or any other form of delaying payment. Edited 6 August 2022 by reynard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
