Wesley Fofana - He is no more - finished - forgotten.

[ARM1968]

Over a player like Fofana the wind only has to blow and everyone shits their pants. Again it is as simple as this, Chelsea come in with £80-£90 million, which they are well capable of, we might sell. 
 

Same with Maddison. Newcastle come in with £75 million we will sell. 
 

it’s not just player loyalty these days. The right offer arrives and any club will snatch your hand off. 
 

For whatever reason our owners feel we are financially in the shit - NOT the well run club oft espoused.

But you’re not necessarily spending it as Wages.

 

FFP rules changed this year. Wages to turnover is now what matters.

 

Sell Fofana means our revenue goes up 80-100m which means we can spend more on wages then we currently are which is our current issue.

surely you don’t account for that as revenue ??.
in the same way that you don’t lose revenue if you spend money on new players ??

Every time they do this I get annoyed, not because they're singing it but because our fans don't IMMEDIATELY - without missing a beat - reply "Mancini, woah, you stabbed him in the back.... " etc.

 

I mean the set up is there, it's literally perfect, absolute open goal and we hoof it over the bar every time. Smh.

Plus we could immediately follow that with a second verse about stabbing Pellegrini in the back as well!

For me if we was going to lose 1 I'd rather lose fofana for 100m.

 

Get Madders to sign a contract he is the boy that's going be amazing this season he is worth more than Fofana IMO

I actually argree players that score goals create goals are always going to be more important

Chelsea transfer target Wesley Fofana removes Leicester from his Twitter bio amid £84m move talks

 

Fofana signed a new long-term deal with the Foxes in March but his future at the club is now in doubt.

There are rumours Fofana is ready to leave the King Power stadium and he added fuel to the fire by removing the words "player at Leicester City" from his Twitter bio.

That could mean the Frenchman is preparing to complete a transfer with reports claiming he has agreed personal terms with the Blues.

But Leicester are demanding £84millionto let the defender go and Chelsea are not prepared to spend that much.

 

Instead, Chelsea are said to be plotting a £45m offer with Ruben Loftus-Cheek offered to the Foxes in exchange.

Leicester are said to be interested in signing the midfielder this summer.

However, Brendan Rodgers reportedly wants a straight cash deal for Fofana, which could present PSG with the chance to sign the defender after the French champions failed in a bid to sign Inter Milan’s Milan Skriniar.

Chelsea have other targets in mind should Leicester refuse to sell Fofana

 

 

so Chelsea value RLC at about 40m

[gw_leics772]

Not got time to read the thread ATM, but just read the info re Instagram changes etc and had to give my two penneth.

 

Not a great surprise as its what he did when he wanted to join us, but after signing a new contract in March, I feel quite firm in telling him to bollocks. Don't care what his reaction is and all that stuff about keeping unhappy players. We're pretty funked as it is reading everything and it sounds like it wouldn't even be one in one out with the bloated squad (although I'm sure we would replace him)

[fleckneymike]

Would a player exchange and fee be more beneficial to us as it would negate much of the sell on fee due to Saint Etienne?

[don_danbury]

RLC is worth about 2m.

Agreed, don't want him here. 

 

Always injured and probably on silly wages

He also doesn't want to join us. So it's fair to say that part-exchange including him is not on the cards.

Yes - agree with all of this, but I’ve often wondered at what point Man City will cross the threshold and become as irritating as, say, Man United. 
 

If they keep winning and gaining plastic supporters they will become the next generation version of Man United/Liverpool 

It's already happening, saw a neighbours post on Friday of her son at charity shield match on a man City shirt. 🤮

[Grebfromgrebland]

Looks like he wants to go now. Let's accept c. £80m and move on. If Chelsea don't pay up then he stays.

 

 

That's what's worked for us in the past. Even if we wait till Jan or next summer to make any real signings. 

 

He doesn't want to be here that much is clear.

When you are being paid astronomical money as a professional footballer, act like one and show a little respect for your club and paymaster.

The new contract just allows us to demand a top top fee.

[kingkisnorbo]

Could potentially be getting upwards of 80 million for a 21 year old. Game really is barking ain’t it. 

[Ross 'LCFC' Turner]

This is brilliant

Nope - someone somewhere will allocate a value to the player(s) in any transfer deal

Do you know him personally then? 

[brookfox]

Me when he did it to St Etienne: the kids a ledge, no way they should be able to hold him hostage if he wants to move to us.

Me when he's doing it to us: absolutely disgraceful, clearly been tapped up and he should honour his contract.

 

Happens to every club in the world bar a handful. As much as I want him to stay if he doesn't want to be here I'd nearly always favour maximising the transfer fee and moving on.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I’d say let him go for a £75-80m - but then look what happened when he wasn’t around at the beginning of last season. Will his value diminish after a year? Probably not. 
 

I can’t see us selling unless it’s a ridiculous offer.

[Ric Flair]

Hahahahaaaaa go on Little Wes, keep pulling pissers

[FoxinNotts]

cleared his locker out at Belvoir Drive apparently

[Guest nathan.]

Colwill and £50m please!
