We need to take the money and invest wisely...which based on previous evidence might be difficult. I would actually try and get someone in in loan for a year and let the head of recruiting bed in for the rebuild next summer. We have in the past and we could get another year from him and sell him for more next season. So many LCFC accountants posting on her, surprised Top or Susan haven't stepped in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, whether we like it or not...next summer will be a rebuild. We need money for that and we don't need a draw out will he or won't he saga with Fofana.

See cucarella deal they wanted to buy colwill but chelsea would only do so with a buyback - so it ended up a free season loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be much deadwood out there which we somehow need to avoid. The new head of recruitment is going to have to play a blinder unless we unearth a couple more KDH's.

If you think you know something and want to say so then post it, all of it, or at least more than “he’s as good as gone” and not just fvckin vague or cryptic snippets.

Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 5 minutes ago, AjcW said: We’re a @Chocolate Teapot away from “HERE WE GOOOO” Even if fofana has said he wants to go, which you'd imagine he has because he's like that. I'm still seeing this as unlikely. 1. Chelsea knew of the interest in colwill but let him go - now I know their owner doesn't have a clue what's he doing and probably can't tell the difference between a goalkeeper and a manager, but this wasn't smart. 2. As the days go by its getting more expensive for us to replace him. 3. There's very few in their squad that would come here and / or improve us. He might be throwing his toys out the pram but he wouldn't be the first. It's very similar to maguire for me in that it happened a year later. Club haven't budged yet by the sounds of it, although there's literally no one reliable who's reported on it. Hes being a massive child by the sounds of his social media but I'm sure the club can hold strong here. If he goes it'll be at the very least 85m I'd imagine. Unless Chelsea force Gallagher to go or something which he doesn't want to do. Also, chelsea need a striker but then last week they signed a left back when they've already got 3 so **** knows what they're doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying he’s as good as gone implies it’s only a matter of time before he’s sold. Which if you listen to Fofana’s camp is their position. How else can he spell the ****er out? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post The People's Hero Posted 8 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 8 August 2022 To clarify as some found it cryptic. Player and agent want out and he has admirers and we need money. He’s only ‘as good as gone’ because any buying club still needs to do a deal with lcfc. That clearly might not happen. Not our style to keep a player against their will though which is why I think a deal gets done. We do seem to be negotiating tough this window so I accept there is every chance he doesn’t go but I’m not sure that turns out great overall. transfwrs are also complicated. A lot of you play too much fm2022. Deals fail for all sorts of reasons at all sorts of times. It’s never 100% when there are usually 5 or 6 parties involved when you consider the player, their family. -agents, managers, club boards/ owners. All have to be satisfied for deals to be done. My point is that the information I’ve shared is what I’ve been told and I think it’s fairy clear. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I wouldn't get too hung up on Chelsea. Maybe its not what you mean, but If he is going to go, Id find it funny if Man City played chelsea at their own game and swooped in for him after they nicked cucurella.
