AKCJ Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 12 minutes ago, KFS said: This is painfully naive from Brendan. Champions League playing center backs have struggled to get into that France squad. He would also play regularly for Chelsea. Mid table Kurt Zouma has regularly played for France since his move. He was due a call up in March-ish time but we said no because he wasn't 100% back from his injury. He was then called up again in the summer but he had to say no because he was getting married. He's absolutely in Dechamps' plans for the World Cup. He'll get there with or without a move to Chelsea because he's 100% good enough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 To be fair Brendan has to try here. The truth would likely not help at this point. However Fofana will know, like we all do, playing regularly for Chelsea improves his prospects far more than playing for us. So I guess all Brendan will have done is made himself look like an idiot to Fofana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannythefox Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 What do people want him to say yeh you’ll have a much better chance of playing for France if you leave, get going mate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

urban.spaceman Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 Hope we're taking the Mahrez January 2018 stance on this. Too late to get a replacement, so no deal on general principle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhysm Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 It is a balancing act. Everyone points to maguire sale as excellent business, however we were ourselves throwing silly money bids for Dunk, Ake etc which were all rejected. I hope this time if they do sell they have given enough time to replace 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_Loyal Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 I wanted 80m but the closer it gets to deadline day the more I want, should be 85m now. Honestly have no idea whether he'll stay or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if we get more money for him, we are then going to get pants pulled down on signing a replacement, as they will be aware of the funds received and the clock ticking into the deadline 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We might well have a list to go for, but do you not think those teams then have to sign a replacement, and face the same increased premium due to the knock of effect of the clock ticking.

The lad can handle any type of pressure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hammo Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 Money money money. I honestly don’t care how much Chelsea offer. As a Leicester fan I just want to see one of the world’s best young defenders play for us for at least one more season - especially as we didn’t get to see him in the flesh in his first season here and he was out injured for most of the second. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 9 August 2022 Share Posted 9 August 2022 I would guess that any buyer would want to keep the fee under a World Record amount, specifically to reduce the pressure on the player and thereby improving the chance of success for the club. Watching what happened to Harry who has had to bear such a fee is quite telling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
