Sorry, but 80m would be a decent price, however any fee and we would struggle to replace him. Cost as an unknown was £35m, plus another £9m sell on fee. Leaves us £54 million for a replacement with a week before the season starts. We will also have paid agent fees and signing fees if say £10m. All to leave us probably worse off than we were.

It adequately compensates the club as this transfer is going to mess up our season. He's on a 5 year contract, we can just say no. Then say no, no price required as he is not in the market this year.

Feels a weird one. They're free to do that. We let him smash it for a season with us and then they probably have competition to sign him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really....as we would have also got the 35million back that we paid for him minus say the 9million sell on fee. So more like 71million to spend assuming we got 80 million for him.

Pliskin Posted 2 August 2022 Share Posted 2 August 2022 Problem with selling Fofana is it doesn’t help us really. Yes we would get a fee in, but it’s a squad player we could do without losing and we will have to replace him. We need rid of the likes of Praet, Soumare, Perez and Hamza ideally. Adding a player into a potential sale wont help either, Colwill looks like he’s off to Brighton so that scuppers that one, and Gallagher for as good as he is, isn’t really what we need. So this transfer would damage us more than it would help us (apart from the bank). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, it just possibly helps us speed up the departures of others whom as it stands might be being offered pitiful deals where we subsidise their wages heavily.

Matt Posted 2 August 2022 Share Posted 2 August 2022 11 minutes ago, EnderbyFox said: Especially with the whole world knowing we've just pocketed 80m. We will end up having to massively overpay for a replacement. 30m bid for Bednarek incoming Which is why you do business before you sell? To a degree I understand what you're saying but it certainly isn't a reason to sell on the cheap, afterall "Leicester City will not be exploited by Premier League rivals"....I'd keep you're mouth shut Bren or get the situations straight with the club before opening your mouth.

trugerkem Posted 2 August 2022 Share Posted 2 August 2022 He isn’t going anywhere … this is speculation fueled by Chelsea unsettling him .. sky news because they have nothing better to do and love Chelsea … and about 500 foxestalk members wetting themselves … that’s in my opinion … but carry on as it is mildly entertaining to read all this guff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
