Best part of £40 million to buy the guy, 15% on profit back to former club, 85% of profit to us, inflated prices for any replacement. Only £100 million plus makes any sense. Fair comment all be it he helped us win the FA cup and qualify for Europe. So it's not a straight maths equation.

pkonline Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 It'll be disappointing if he does leave, considering he was out for most of last season and we still gave him a big contract. However, if we get a decent price for him, and can reinvest, it may be good for both parties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s gone and any money generated isn’t helping us now. I meant purely in terms of the transfer, but I do take your point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point in worrying and throwing toys out of the pram on something you can't control. Lived through a lot worse having been a Leicester fan for 25 years. Social media and the media themselves promote a lot of information and opinions that are far from gospel yet people take it as credible and get upset 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the season after the title win , he dropped to six goals, disappeared during matches , missed penalties and generally underperformed badly.

supernuk Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 I think it will be a case of keeping Madders and selling Wes. Just got a feeling Madders wants to stay (probably with improved contract). We need to squeeze every penny out of chelsea though.. Enough to give madders improved contract, new young CB and RW. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdb Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 Better and younger than Maguire. There's the benchmark. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickyblueeyes Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 Callum Hudson Odoi is the type of player I think Brendan would like to work with. Young player who had/has plenty of potential which he hasn't realised yet. The challenge of making him realise that potential I think would interest the coaching staff here. I dont know if that is a good thing for us I've never really been impressed watching him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to get your facts right he dropped 11 (17>6), and Vardy also dropped 11 (24>13) the whole team struggled that season. Like Vardy, Mahrez bounced back the next season with 12 PL goals, and 12 assists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 The language from the club is different here than it was for Maguire. Then it was "there's a valuation to be met" etc now it's "not for sale". Not overly bothered either way as it'll take £100m plus imo for us to sell this summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Money next year would be better, we free up a lot of dead wood contact wise and a big fee for Fofana would give us a war chest to rebuild with. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing annoys me more with a player of his talent is what seems like deliberate underperformance. For the record I don't think Wesley Fofana would ever do that.

Top cop Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 Disastrous if he goes now. No time to rebuild and all the defensive frailties come back. Makes us a bottom half club at best. I hope and expect Top knows that and will not entertain anything this summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may well want to go I don't know but has anyone else noticed whenever a player is linked with a move at the moment to a club that is popular with the media journos always immediately say the player wants the move. I think most of the time they are just guessing/ making it up/ saying it because they want it to be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is probably a safe bet to be fair, as why would he not want to go to a club that usually plays in the ECL? Unless he actually making public shows of discontent (Do not count social media prank platforms) then we should have no immdiate concerns (social media gets given WAY WAY too much credibility, and it proliferates itself with these ITK's just lazily quoting each other) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Life teaches us that we can't always get what we want when we want. He's a tremendous prospect and there's no doubt he could be heading to the very top and that will no doubt require a move at some stage. However, whilst I'm sure our club won't stand in his way indefinitely, he will have to understand that the timing has to be beneficial to both parties and he seems reasonable in that sense. Now however, is not that time. In any case, I think he's worth better than Chelsea anyway, particularly as their future under new owners is far from clear.

That's a safe guess from Romano and mostly probably true that he would want the move. However, it only becomes an issue for the club if he really tries to force the move. He may want the move but has accepted he'll be here for another season and hopefully that's the case. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrizio ain't a strong source Certainly not any source from our club’s side. Ultimately the club will have their stance on all this and knowing how they’ve operated previously I’m confident they’ll be making sure Chelsea pay a huge amount otherwise he’ll remain a LCFC player. So these low ball games in the media won’t be influencing anything our club decide. Edited 4 August 2022 by Lesta Legend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenom Posted 4 August 2022 Share Posted 4 August 2022 1 hour ago, filbertway said: He can want the move without being impatient. As long as he's cracking on, being professional and performing well then it's fine. Of course he wants the move, it'd be a significant step up for the lad. It doesn't mean he's being unprofessional about about it and kicking up a fuss though. Exactly. 99% of the squad would want a move to Chelsea. Doesn’t mean he won’t be professional and moan if Chelsea doesn’t match out valuation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
