smudger63 Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 This should be simple. We should tell them his price is 100 million, 80 million up front, if you want him, pay it, if not, then off you trot! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LCFCbwoi Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 44 minutes ago, Pick Good Name Later said: You’ve just answered your own question in your last comment. There isn’t a single player that doesn’t have a value. Irrelevant of importance. Football ultimately is a business. No getting away from it. As mentioned it’ll be a shame to let him go. But the balance sheet always takes precedent over the heart of a fan. Especially at clubs the size and stature of Leicester. Of course, I’m just seeing price tags of £85 million and feel we could get that or more next season, so surely a no brainier to keep him for one more? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy is so so good but we can’t compete with the teams paying this sort of money for our players. Getting 80 for maguire and possibly 85 for Wes is crazy will be a shame to see him go but if he goes hopefully we do get someone in to replace him. It won’t be easy to get someone at his level but we can still hopefully find someone that will be so a good job for us for the next years. Your optimism in our Recruitment Team is something I do not share after last summer. That needs a thorough cleansing when Glover arrives in situ.

The reason he was so good in last years was because he had a relationship with Minola that no one else did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 He's more consistent and a less than a liability than Maguire (am still struggling to understand how they wanted to pay such an amount, with him being a fairly decent defender but can get caught out here and there). A £90m asking price would definitely be good value for a highly-rated young defender, given today's market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 I think we can fleece them for 105m. This new bunch are amateurs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cincinnati Fox Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 (edited) Fofana is going but package is going to be over 100 million. 80 up front and a player. the way Wes forced his move here was Always going to go, but after the injury thought he would give us a couple of years. also he could be better than Chelsea.

At 21 no surprise but 24-25 he is one of the worlds best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimJams Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 £85m with addons taking it to £100mill. And a free loan of CHO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mint23 Posted 6 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 6 August 2022 I seriously think we should be holding out for £100m. It’s late in the summer to replace the best young centre half in the country and it basically means going into the season with Evans, Cags, Amartey and Vestegard. Cags contract is up next summer and we’re trying to shift Vestegard, Evans is older and more injury prone so we need at least 2 if not 3 centre halves in the next 12 months. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesterlad Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 Daft question probably, but if Chelsea buy Fofana for £80 million and having already spent in region of £170 mill how does that work with FFP?

Lambert09 Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 i might be mad but, i’d prefer to get 80m now, then 85m in a week or 2. We need to get this sorted one way or the other 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gp96 Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 He’ll be worth more in 12 months than now anyway plus we’ll have a year more with him. He only played something like 10/15 games last season so if he gets 30/40 this year plus a World Cup we have an even stronger position. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Fox Posted 6 August 2022 Share Posted 6 August 2022 Jacob Steinberg @JacobSteinberg · 6h Chelsea are willing to go to £85m for Fofana and believe that would be enough to get him. Would take their spending over £200m and could be more beyond that (FDJ, Casadei, Auba targeted). So are they going to be able to make anything back on sales? #cfc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
