A lot of people said they would drive him to West Brom themselves for £7m, I wonder what happened to that lad whose name escapes me?

Guest ttfn Posted 27 July 2016 Posted 27 July 2016 We should loan him to WBA for a year and insist he only plays left back. Should sort out one of the three relegation places and we'll get his comedy roadshow back for the following season.

Pay the players what they are worth but we need to be careful we don't overpay them. Instead of looking purely at transfer fees like us fans do, the club will need to consider the whole package (wages is the biggest expenditure of any football club). Hopefully Schlupp will stay but not try and cash in on our success with inflated wage demands. My view is that the players we currently have are are worth far than the value of the team this time last year. We have effectively spent nothing yet,£32M out, £32M in. The current value of our squad must be in the region of about £200M, so why are people so worried about the finances of the club. Futhermore there will be about £150M coming in to the club as well this season.We are champions league man!

It's so obvious. Yes he has these attributes but he spends half the game dithering out of position looking like he doesn't know what to do. He's very inconsistent.

How much you have in the bank or future income is by and large irrelevant.

matty98 Posted 27 July 2016 Posted 27 July 2016 Can't wait for him to have his 'Gareth Bale moment' in the champions league this season then instantly be worth £100 million

The value of the players we have now combined to income this year, compared to that calculation last year would evaluate at being three times better off this year and we have spent nothing other than some increases in salaries. 'Don't Panic!'
artursteppe Posted 27 July 2016 Posted 27 July 2016 I just wonder if Jeff could be further developed into a central midfield player. Picture a 4-3-3 set up with a well trained Schlupp on the left side of a middle three. He has defensive and attacking attributes, great strength, physicality and awesome pace. If the club could develop his ability to close down midfield players and attackers in opposition teams, intercept and win tackles in the middle of the park he could become a really great player. I know it's quite a big 'IF', but blimey, it could be truly sensational. I like Jeff.

MarriedaLeicesterGirl Posted 27 July 2016 Posted 27 July 2016 Schlupp is a team homegrown player, and the club is not going to have the four required in a 25-man squad for Champions League. And given if Lawrence, Inler, De Laet, and Moore (and maybe Hamer? Benalouane?) leave, we are going to have a small squad to begin with...I think Schlupp would have to fetch well over 20 million even to be worth it. And I think CR has plans for him in general.

Maybe too much of an ask but, having lost Kante, it would be great to see someone with Jeff's turn of speed to be able to burst out from defensive midfield positions to initiate a quick counter. He just needs to add all the other bits to his game

ozleicester Posted 27 July 2016 Posted 27 July 2016 Our team are the league champions, have a look at the wages paid by the other top 5 or 6 clubs. It cost money to employ players, those players are valuable as they are league winners, while we may accept that all footballers are overpaid, if we want to remain as a league leader, we have to pay the players what they are worth. Our owners are rich and are not stupid, there will be relegation clauses, and it is not just bad ownership decisions that left Leeds, Pompey etc in the positions they are in. We can pay our players $30,000 and that will also lead to relegation. The market decides the value of players and if we want to win, we must pay.

Quick? He's a nightmare to catch and to mark. the space he makes for others with some of his runs and his threat turns a sixpence into a desert. I'm just frustrated by his shooting but judging by the publicity he gets it can't all be bad!
st albans fox Posted 27 July 2016 Posted 27 July 2016 It always helps to wrongfoot the opposition when you have no clue what you are going to do yourself!
