The actual profit on this guy would actually be in region of 29 million not bad but not what people think. You say 2 cbs, does that mean we get 2 Vestergaards for that profit?

Either get £80m+ in the next week or get him in the team post 1st September. He and we won’t let him rot in the reserves I know we obviously will take the money in the end but part of me wants him to rot in the reserves for 5 years. Teach dickheads like him a lesson. Shut up, do your job and honour the contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the tapping up, ESL Clubs are subject to different rules to the 14 non- members. The FA will do f-all. This was my favourite part of the article, a section which every non-LCFC fan will do well to comprehend... They simply have no obligation to sell for a single penny lower than the price that they consider acceptable. And if some people are suggesting that they should ‘soften their stance’, it might be countered that they have already softened it by moving from ‘not for sale’ to ‘at least £80m’. Also, its impossible because he goes on to say that we may have a disruptive player until January if he's not sold. Leaves a sour taste in the mouth that we have his talent of player rotting in the reserves (through his own means or not) when we could be doing with him on the pitch. So it kind of is an impossible position. I also liked this part of the article: The Premier League should at least be doing something to try curtail this culture of tapping-up, because sitting on their hands in the way that they do looks from here like tacit approval of breaking their own rules. It's quite obviously a pipe dream to think PL will do anything of the sort, but one can hope! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We won't be bullied by bigger clubs into accepting lowball figures, and we expect players we're already paying handsomely to respect the club and the contracts that they willingly signed. The club haven't put a foot wrong with Fofana and yet we're paying for it. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 24 August 2022 Share Posted 24 August 2022 Totally understand the desire to make Chelsea every last penny we ask for in the Fofana interest, but it makes me furious that we lose whatever happens. Either he stays and it likely has an impact in the short term at least, or he goes and we have somehow settled or cannot get replacements in time. Something should be done but it won’t (Why was Liverpool and Van Dijk any different?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something should be done but it won’t (Why was Liverpool and Van Dijk any different?) If I remember correctly Southampton successfully blocked the transfer during the summer window, so Van Dijk had to stay. He then played half heartedly for the first half of the season before going to Liverpool in the January window. The thing in our favour with Fofana is that there is a winter World Cup which he wants to play in. So even if he is forced to stay he has a really strong motivation to play well for us. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
