Le Renard

Yes that is the unforseen, that is why I said do St Etienne take the 30 mill now or wait and see.......which means they could lose out due to Covid continuing to wreck clubs finances into next year and beyond, or do they take a risk and think they could get more money for him next year? I also said 'some' French fans, others said take the money and run, or St Etienne are being greedy & english clubs are crazy/stupid to pay that sort of money for him etc.

He fits the profile of what Rodgers wants in a defender, if he wants to play the 541/352 etc. You need defenders to be able to come out with the ball with speed, Soyuncu can do it, but Evans is not that type of player. Fofona is rated as a very good prospect in France and some French football fans I've spoken to think it would be mad to sell him this season, because he could turn into a 50/60 mill player next year. Do St Etienne take the 30 mill now or wait and see?

Hahahaha I think you could say the whole Man city defence was the motm for us, what a shambles!

What a performance, I know Vardy deserves the plaudits, but I think Mendy was the Motm for me.

Yes but if we just play the 4141 without Ndidi, we will get rolled over against Man city. If the players get it right, it can work against Man city.........that is a big if though!

Yep but Bournemouth was a one off(I hope), and the first half we were so comfortable, it was only when Rodgers changed it in the second........and we know what happened then!

Why change a winning formula? Because we had more holes than a swiss cheese against Burnley, and if we are that open agains Shiekh city we will lose by a big margin.

One bad game and the vultures are out, it could be that he's really p****d off about not getting his move, players don't tend to give 100% if they are not happy. I'm not saying that they do it on purpose like Savage, but if I was blocked from getting 500% or more pay rise I would probably sulk a bit....or a lot!

Could this be sticking 2 fingers or maybe one finger to West Ham, they got involved in the Fofona transfer and pushed up the price.

It is not like us English, we don't patronise the French at all!

West Ham have raised their offer to 35 Million against the offer of 32 Million Leicester...blah blah blah. (Google translate it is not the best)

West Ham collect players, they have Haller on the bench, they don't seem to have a transfer policy, just the scatter gun approach. Perhaps we have given up on Fofona and it is St Etienne trying to get good money for him now that we have maybe pulled out.....they know West Ham pay over the odds for players.

It is saying in that he/she could understand if it was a club like Real Madrid etc, but it is for Leicester & West Ham.

C'est un blague Cleminem, l'humour anglais est vraiment sarcastique et ironique. Il y a plusieurs années, mon contrat n'a pas été renouvelé en France à cause de mon humour sarcastique/ironique, j'ai appris que les Français ne comprennent pas les subtilités de l'humour anglais.

132 pages and still no news...is this a record for no news?

Watching half time analysis on RMC sport (France) and they were laughing at the Chris Wood goal, they couldn't believe it was given.

I know Puel gets a bad press on here, but he is a highly regarded coach in France, I just think he couldn't adapt to the Prem league style of football. If Puel rates Fofona that much, he must know he's a very good defender with lots of potential, he probably thinks he will double in value in a year or two.

Lazio were created by Mussolini, Di canio is a fan that is why he gave the facist salute.

Why do people moan about our club being self sustainable and think every rich owner should empty their pockets to buy players.

St Etienne are standing up to a richer club, they either want to keep him or get more money. Our club has the same problems when it comes to the bigger/richer clubs in the prem and as fans we want to get the best price for our players, so you can't blame St Etienne. Now can you imagine the vitriol and bile written on here, if one our players young talented players said they wanted to leave!

Danny murphy has headed the ball too much, that might explain his punditry. Jenas probably never headed the ball, so that can't explain why he is awful. I quite like Roy keane as a pundit, you just never know what your going to get, and you can always have a laugh while watching.

Wait until Mendy makes a mistake and we lose a goal because of him....the hang em & flogg em brigade will be out in force!

Tielemans is the one player we have to break the lines with a pass, but we don't seem to have anyone with a bit of artistry to go pass someone and open up the play in the middle of the park.

I know this is the first game but this team can't be this bad, it is almost the same team as the beginning of last year, they don't seem to have the confidence to play through WBA, also the defence is so hesitant it scares me every time. If the club are so slow to get a centre back in, what do they expect from our first game!

Brexit could affect football clubs who pay their players in Euro's along with the transfer fees, a lot of european players like to be payed in Euro's. If a no deal goes a head the economy will tank and with the double hit with Covid the pound will go down against the stronger currencies, this will put further pressure on clubs finances with the payment of overseas TV rights getting less money, the deals were probably agreed in dollars or euros!
