Babylon Posted 26 August 2022 Share Posted 26 August 2022 1 hour ago, desertfox2 said: It happens to all clubs though. Just look at Chelsea. The only reason they need to sign Fofana is because Rudiger and Christensen ran down their contracts and left on a free and they were paying them both a fortune in wages. It's not just a Leicester problem. But it impacts us more as we don’t have the money to just go and replace them. It’s happening because clubs ask massive fees and don’t want to let players go, so they are taking it back into their own hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can spite him and have him sulk the place out for a year before selling him for less than we have been offered or do exactly what i think the club are doing and trying to squeeze every last penny they can from it. Player power is too strong to ignore these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jayfox26 Posted 26 August 2022 Share Posted 26 August 2022 I'm torn. I don't really want him playing for us again as he's a total bell end and has yet again showed his true colours. Of course we were all happy for him to kick up a stink at St Etienne as it benefited us but he signed a 5 year deal only a few months ago, after coming back from a broken leg, so the whole fiasco leaves a sour taste. I don't ever want him to pull on our shirt again but I also don't want to bend over yo Chelsea and their under handed ways of transfer business. If they think Gordon (who is incredibly average at best) is worth £60m, then how is a potential generational talent worth similar money? The fact they've let it rumble on until the end of the transfer window also leaves a sour taste, bearing in mind they massively increased their offer to sign Cucurella to get it done early. A. Sell now for below our asking price and replace him. B. Flip Chelsea off for being utter nob head and keep a player who we don't want and he doesn't want to play for us.

If we are seen as difficult for the next move (whether we are or not), it makes one think twice. Mahrez said it. Fofana has said it. I dont believe on either occasion those two players were correct but it will influence a certain type of player. However, Chilwell didn't say it, nor did Maguire.

FoxyPalace.com Posted 26 August 2022 Share Posted 26 August 2022 I hope this lad know he has let us all down. I’m really shocked by his attitude, if he had treated us with a little respect, behaved like a pro got his head down and stayed silent during the negotiations I would of wished him the total best when leaving to Chelsea. #Selfishdisloyalknob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 26 August 2022 Share Posted 26 August 2022 It'll be a bit annoying if we play into Chelsea and Fofana's hands by letting the mind games affect us and accept a lower offer. I literally wouldn't sell to Chelsea out of principle at this point. Wes won't give up football for another season, it'll harm his reputation too much. I'd love to reject any offers and then give him the option to apologise massively, put it behind him and then put in a blinding season (which is almost 100% likely). If he rejects that offer then plays in the u21s until he's redeemed himself in the eyes of the squad and management.. The kid has clearly come from a rubbish place and had to work hard and probably fight for everything he has. So I can understand him being selfish, as it's probably the way he's had to be to survive growing up where he did. Much like Rudiger can get into a evil headspace because of what he's been through as a kid. Whatever happens, he can't end up playing for Chelsea at this point. We can't let emotions rule and allow those tactics to win. Chelsea knew what they had to bid and instead of paying an extra 10-15 million they've resorted to mind games and clearly Wes/Wes's agent are agreeing to partake in them. The strong approach is show the kid some empathy, but be very clear that he has over stepped the mark and disrespected a club that won't stand in his way should a fair offer come in ( Unless it's Chelsea, because they're pr*cks) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
