Fofana mark 2. No thanks unless we can show a double your money profit after his transfer due to toys flying out the pram in six months. This after he has demanded a transfer to that turd of a place in South west London.

 

We made about 30 million in profit on Fofana in very little time. 

 

I'd take that again. 

 

He wasn't disruptive while he was here really either.

Could you imagine if we signed 11 Fofanas that would be profit of nearly half a billion pounds in a couple of years

El Khannouss and Genk diametrically opposed, Leicester's third bid also inadequate

 

Leicester wants Bilal El Khannouss and Bilal El Khannouss wants Leicester. The problem is that the water between the English RC Genk is still deep. The atmosphere between both camps is tense. Until further notice, the 20-year-old midfielder will not train with the Limburgers.

 

These are exciting days for Bilal El Khannouss. The Moroccan international has set his sights on a transfer to Premier League promoted Leicester City. The talent has made no secret of the fact that he wanted to make the move to a top competition this summer. Genk gave him the freedom to negotiate with other teams and wanted to cooperate under the right conditions.

 

It saw him as the most expensive outgoing transfer ever and initially aimed at around 35 million euros. "With his talent, he should be able to break the Belgian transfer record", Genk chairman Peter Croonen said a year ago in HLN - before the transfer of Igor Thiago to Brentford (37 million euros).

 

Million Dance

In the meantime, Genk's asking price has dropped somewhat, while Leicester made a third bid yesterday evening. According to our information, that is also insufficient. Wait and see if an agreement with Genk will be reached by Friday evening, when the English market closes.

 

El Khannouss himself is waiting impatiently. His camp believes that Genk is asking too high a transfer fee for him and is disappointed that Genk is sticking to its guns at the negotiating table. As a result, El Khannouss decided to withdraw from training this morning, a decision that he motivated in front of the entire dressing room. Which in turn caused dissatisfaction at the club. Genk points out that the agreement is that they, as the selling club, conduct the negotiations and determine the price.

 

In short: both parties are currently diametrically opposed to each other. To be continued.

 

No replacement

Genk will not be looking for a replacement for El Khannouss. That has everything to do with Kos Karetsas. The 16-year-old top talent showed again today in the practice match against Fortuna Sittard (2-0) that he is ready for the big job and the club does not want to stand in his way too much.

 

A departure of El Khannouss would once again make the cash register ring in Limburg. By selling Mike Penders - his transfer to Chelsea will be announced soon - Alieu Fadera (Como), Mark McKenzie (Toulouse), Matias Galarza (AC Talleres), Anouar Aït El Hadj (Union), Rasmus Carstensen (FC Köln) and Nicolás Castro (Elche), Racing already collected 37.5 million euros this summer.

Absolutely staggering that we're going to end up paying double what Gronbaek and Nanasi went for. El Khannouss is a quality prospect but I'm not sure he's better than either of them and certainly hasn't proven himself to be yet at a level not that wildly different.

Wonder if this is a club signing rather than a Cooper driven signing. Fits the profile of the

types of signings made last summer.

With premier league clubs having to be in line with FFP you would think european clubs would have to drop the prices of players when transfer bids come from premier league clubs in order to sell players now.  We have the money to buy the players, but FFP is not allowing for it.  I think the shift to lower expectations in transfer fees from clubs outside the EPL will have to start happening at the end of this transfer window.  They can't get what they want in terms of money unless it's one of the big six clubs.

They are either going to have our pants down or we'll spend all week trying to get him when he's unattainable. If we're at the limit then we have to lick our wounds and move on. 

 

We were short on attacking minded midfielders when we got promoted. Since then we sold our only good one and have replaced him with a teenager on loan.

 

55 days since we lost KDH. We've done **** all all summer. Again.

The sympathisers will say its been a tough market during a Euros summer but I call it pure incompetence

An Olympic medal is the footballing equivalent of a star on your badge if you work at McDonald’s 😂

And they’ve got to want to move to us as well. Both players seemingly had a lot of interest from other clubs.

@KlaaZ any thoughts on this lad?

Was on the road all day, only just saw this. Someone with a LOT of potential. Excellent dribbler, great flair, great vision, very much the playmaker type. Someone who can create something out of nothing. Main question will be whether you're financially able to grab him as Genk want somewhere between 30 and 35M I believe. He's forcing the issue though, refusing to train now. Just as an addition, that doesn't mean he has a bad character. As far as I'm aware, he was promised that he could move to a better league/club.
