I don't see many of our better players wanting to continue here much longer, perhaps it's become a dirge for them too? Leicestershire has a million citizens and 1 football club, I really think it's about price, availibilty and atmosphere. People get turned off when you need to buy a membership to get availibilty for tickets, or keep going into ballots, and the price in unaffordable for young lads and lasses from working class backgrounds 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post mozartfox Posted 21 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 August 2022 1 hour ago, An Sionnach said: I base my valuation on comparing him to Dias and De Ligt , both of whom are much more experienced internationals. £60 million is a lot of money for a defender at any time. However my valuation is not necessarily what Chelsea might be prepared to pay . If they pay more than that , that is their risk just as Man.Utd. did with Maguire. Obviously the more we get the better but I refuse to overrate Fofana. Your valuation is irrelevant as is mine and everyone else’s on this Forum. Fleece them for every pound. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We should be building to 45k capacity and reduce ticket prices. Build it, set a fair price and they will come. They wont reduce prices...any extension wil have to be paid for. If we were 45k capacity i would be happy to cap sts at 30k. But right now i an wondering how it will be with 45k when back in the championship.

If the price is right, you get new fans in that buy merchandise and confectionary and possibly leicester fans for life. Wheres the growth? Our whole problem stems with our club not being as attractive as others, you can see players love playing to a big passionate crowd and i'm afraid we just dont have that, and theres not alot else going for the club when it comes to attracting a player. Theres the training ground and thats about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday they chose to forgo selling 600 tickets at 30 quid a pop in block M, ie 18k, rather than risk selling to those they deem undesirable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxxed Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 (edited) Sell him for more than Maguire and keep the money away from Brendan (with the only exception being a legally required severance package) and I'll be happy.

Left footed ACM/RW Have we given up on both defending and signing a new defender in favour of a right winger? I know you probably have, but I mean in general.

WigstonWanderer Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 I’m all for fleecing Chelsea and getting as much for Fofana as possible, and with his apparent behaviour in this whole business, I’m not bothered if he feels hard done by. However have the hawks here considered the effect this might have on negotiations with Maddison to extend his contract? Can’t see him renewing.

Given the way the team are playing around him, lifeless after scoring, lifeless after conceding, and coached to play one system that’s failing and easy to stop - Id say there’s almost zero chance of Maddison signing a new contract, at the moment.

Popular Post Deebhoy Posted 21 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 21 August 2022 Footballers really are an effin laugh. A cost of living crisis where millions are worried about paying bills and Fofana can't be arsed playing even though he signed a multi-million pound deal last year. Ridiculous. After losing the game yesterday I fully expect him to be gone later in the week. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People out there working their balls off to scratch a living and this chap doesn't even have the integrity to play 90 minutes of football for the fans who help to pay his huge salary. We're through the looking glass aren't we? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bptiger Posted 21 August 2022 Share Posted 21 August 2022 Rodgers is a moron, if WES stays he has to play well or he will never get the dream move , I am beginning to believe that a lot of the shit happening at the club revolves around Rodgers 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fofana should take a leaf out of the book of Sadio Mane, who has done so much to help the cause of poor people in his native country. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
