Would you come here now? A championship player is the best we can hope for. ...there will be a plethora of willing players from the continent looking to come here, and to play in the Premier League!!! If Fofana was on 80k Euros a month, then coming here on a 5 year contract (irrespective of who the manager would be) would be akin to winning the jackpot.

vanity Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 6 hours ago, Countryfox said: Yep and we lost our prize asset near the end of a transfer window .. have badly weakened and unsettled the whole team .. and shown to any other club that all they have to do is whisper in a players ear and we’ll bend over and take it up the harris .. We received a record fee based upon the potential of a kid who has not proven he's worth it, who didn't want to play for the club, and who was the exact person who threw a fit and badly weakened and unsettled the whole team. Selling him allows the team to recover and play to its ability. Keeping him after his dramatics would have ruined the season. At least now we have a chance at seeing some decent football out of Leicester. And if you think the club has earned itself a rep for being soft on transfers, that's just dumb. If anything, its obviously the opposite. Which may scare players we recruit. We almost exploded our season with this Fofana play. The one thing that could not, under any circumstances happen, was this little sh1t to stay. Glad to see him gone after all this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambert09 Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 one quite significant detail that i haven’t seen discussed is that Susan was the person responsible for negotiating this. Or so it was reported. Seems a little strange no? why wouldn’t the DOF be involved. Or even have the relationships, it’s not like this is a new club for us. A possible sign the club have lost faith? It’s not like he’s been busy 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaspa Posted 28 August 2022 Share Posted 28 August 2022 Page 300! We're basically just waiting for the announcement now, aren't we. Sad. Tempted to keep the money off Rodgers after last summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like he’s been busy 😂 Potentially because the resulting fee became more of a club financial matter (i.e our stadium expansion and whatnot could depend on this deal) and wasn't just purely a sporting one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnewty Posted 29 August 2022 Share Posted 29 August 2022 When this goes through we should be spending at least 40 million on players this week but I bet we don’t. I’m not entirely sure we’ll spend any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is, pull the plug. I did say his medical could be interesting. That was a terrible injury and he has previous too. I am assuming this could be for Insurance purposes, which I see as perfectly normal given the size of the fee and the sum of 6 years salary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't disagree but we need the money for replacements and maybe also getting rid of Rodgers in the process as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
