But sadly the likes of Fofana, Maddison and Barnes etc will have ambitions that exceed our own. They do madders is living close to his home (although his own family dynamics will take precedent over this ) and Barnes is living v close to his home. Family matters to people But wes is a thousand miles from home - for him it is totally about his football career. He already stated when he moved here that he was doing it (so soon) mainly for his family - that the move secures their future. So his move to us could be seen as being for his family - his move to Chelsea will be for him. brendan is telling him that another year here will be better for his development - shipping a couple of goals each week and being under real pressure probably is better than going through the motions in the majority of games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevieH Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 Sell him for 85mil and spend on re building the squad. Only concern is leaving it very late to bolster the squad and our recruitment over the last year or so hasn't been great. Could be a good side again if we get the right players in.

Trying to walk off the pitch 2 games in a row without acknowledging the fans that spend their hard earn money for him to earn obscene amounts because hes arsey he hasnt got a move to a bigger club, months after he signed a massive contract. After all the club has done for him with his injury aswell. Complete lack of respect Ooh you stopped short of giving any credit to Rodgers for making him turn around and go and acknowledge the fans despite some thinking Rodgers doesn’t give a frig about us 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only concern should be who's spending it. Sell him for a world record fee. 95/100 million. Use 20 of it to pay of Brendan and let someone else find us. Gk, RW and CB and I'm onboard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 Chelsea would be watching all this closely and immature behavior in a CB will not improve his chances. However the ease which Martinelli and Jesus outthought him will be a lot more concerning. He has a lot to learn does young Wes and £80 million would be a massive risk.

He should of had a bollucking the first time so he didnt even attempt it the second. But I dont expect anything more from spineless Brendan Rodgers who cant even have his players fined or made to apologise to the fans for potentially jeopording our Champions league push when they attended a party in lockdown. Then making a player who clearly doesnt want to be here captain for one of the biggest games of the season again Forest. No real surprise that the team is as weak and soft as it is with him steering the ship. Edited 14 August 2022 by South Shire Fox 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's £85m these days though? If we're talking really decent players, and not more £15m mistakes, it's two possibly three at the most, offset by the one we lose, so even if you say three in real terms it's two additional players. It will hardly re-build the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: I'd acknowledge that there's probably been no sit down, face-to-face meeting. And I don't even suggest there's been contact of any kind, just that there's so many ways it could happen that it's hardly worth concerning yourself over.

Chelsea can contact his agent, our club can't stop that and obviously his agent has been talking to Fofana about the terms have offered, he obviously agreed, blame the agents, they always want to to get the best for client's, means more money for themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True but there used to be quite a big thing made in the past about illegal approaches etc. If we've said he's a Leicester player, and he's not for sale, an approach used to be an action that was punishable by the Premier League/ F.A.

taupe Posted 14 August 2022 Share Posted 14 August 2022 (edited) Think of it this way; to agree personal terms (however it might happen) is pointless when there is no agreement between the clubs. Well, pointless if one excludes the possibility that a buying club may do it to unsettle a player - in which case, can a player request a transfer if they really want to go??
