cheshamfox17 Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 1 hour ago, Ric Flair said: I don't agree, if players want to leave and the club get broadly what they want as an asking price then always sell. We haven't done enough moving players on in recent years, we simply have to for a club like ours. I don't get why fans struggle to grasp the situation we are in. As a club we have to accept our place in the food chain, which is a step below Chelsea (maybe a couple of steps.) We need to be the club that top young players like Fofana come to in the knowledge that they will improve, we as a club will improve and maybe pick us some trophies and a European tour on the way then when an offer comes in from the big clubs we will be willing to sell but for a price that benefits us. I totally agree with you. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jobyfox Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 Apparently we’ve accepted £5m with £80m as add-ons. Full payment is dependent upon Wesley revealing himself as the next messiah and the saviour of mankind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fox1norfolk Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 This whole saga is quite shameful in the world of football. When Fofana signed a 5 year contract earlier this year I am sure he had no idea that he would be playing for Chelsea in September. So in many ways I blame the media, pundits and agents of Chelsea who created a relentless campaign to create a transfer situation. They built him up to a potential level he might never reach but made him believe he could. In the next month or two we will find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 28 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 28 August 2022 2 hours ago, Countryfox said: So if all our best players say we want to leave then let them go ?? .. I agree we should have moved more players on in the last few years .. but unfortunately we didn’t. And I understand we are in a mess at the moment but I’m not 100% why .. didn’t you say Ric if it’s to do with FFP then why aren’t other clubs so concerned about it .. ? Yes, I'd sell any player that doesn't want to be here. The chances of all 25 players wanting to leave and there being clubs willing to pay the overstated asking price we'd want for them if all 25 were integral players here is almost nil. Obviously my stance requires an exceptional recruitment model and academy to have a conveyor belt of talent constantly replacing players but I see no reason why we couldn't do that, we have regressed massively in that regard and the academy is yet to really show much signs of significant improvement. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not 100% on how it works but I'm pretty sure the MLS works something along the lines of a salary cap but they are alod X amount of players that they can pay what they want.

The biggest problem with football is this. I would agree but the only flip side is that teams might form a breakaway with financial rules to suit them. Shouldn't have a lack of rules to appease the Sky 6 and ESL teams but thats the reality of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top cop Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 I have resisted from commenting for a long time. But here is the issue… we have him his chance, he got injured, we looked after him when badly injured, he signed a new long term contract. First sniff, he is off. I wish him ill.. I really do.

If Chelsea did not come knocking he would be content with being here. Good luck to him, we need to get a replacement and a well thought out RW.
