Edit - WTF, just noticed that he's allegedly a Leicester fan. Edited 8 August 2022 by Sunbury Fox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way Brendan would sanction the bargain move for Firmino at Liverpool was if they also agreed to sign Benteke for him...

This is not true. It's what some in the media seem to assume (as well as lots of Chelsea and Newcastle fans), but I think the club would prefer to keep Maddison and Fofana and find other ways of reducing the wage bill. Fofana's likely departure is not down to the club willingly selling him, but rather the amount of money Chelsea will chuck at us combined with Fofana's determination to go. If he was happy to stay, we wouldn't even be discussing this transfer. Edited 8 August 2022 by ClaphamFox 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've emailed it but it bounced and they've forgotten where the fax machine is. So the temp is getting the train. They should be in Leicester around about.... now!

From what I read we have 2 years to adjust to new ffp limits, we have several players out of contract next season so we don't have a need to sell madders or fofana 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taupe Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 Oh the irony of not being able to sign players because of FFP, and the manager's ginormous salary being included in that calc. Want new players Bren? Then take an f-ing pay cut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sampson Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 1 hour ago, Lesta Legend said: I’ll blame the club if they decide to let him go and we can’t get a suitable replacement. That be stupid on the clubs part, if the reality is we can’t get a good replacement, letting a player go like Wes could potentially relegate the club. We finished 8th last season with him virtually out the entire season. Calm down ffs. We're likely in for a mediocre season but we're not getting relegated.

splinterdream Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 We should definitely put in a massive sell on fee with fofana because it's very unlikely he'll stay at Chelsea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SafewayFox Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 1 hour ago, stu said: Colwill was our main target apparently, obviously that isn’t going to happen now. Which is madness considering Chelsea’s first bid (pretty sure the only concrete bid the club commented on) was BEFORE he went out on loan to Brighton. Surely a bit naive to not think they’d make an offer that we can’t turn down for Little Wes? Maybe the refresh needs to start from the board down? Some genuinely awful business decisions coming to light when consider our FFP situation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore_94 Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 (edited) Going to end up being about 5 bids all going up by about £5m each time aren’t there? Edited 8 August 2022 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post ARM1968 Posted 8 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 8 August 2022 Think we can say without doubt Wes will be off before the window closes. We can also say that it is unlikely we will use the money to any great degree and we will be worse than we were. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's no different to where we were before in recent weeks then? We know Chelsea won't give up but as long as they offer the right amount, then Fofana can leave. Anyone thinking Chelsea would give up just like that is lying to themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dames Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 He's off this window i've now come to terms with that. I'm really worried that the club are going to haggle so long and they are so unprepared to take any financial risks that we are going to be left desperately short of quality at CB.

FoxinNotts Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 @Ric Flair Can I set you the task of giving us some options to replace Fofana? Must adhere to the the following criteria: - Full international Cap(s) - Minimum 6'3" tall - Fast - Aggressive - Decent distribution - Maximum £45m - under 25 years of age thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
