Oh and Lloris is about 20k in front of anyone else. That's if like our club you believe the itk's http://www.totalsportek.com/money/english-premier-league-wage-bills-club-by-club/ This has them well over double what ours was last season. If that's accurate anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is paying him what he contractually agreed "pissing him off"? If he doesn't play well then he will be dropped and no-one is going to want him anywhere. Maybe he'll just buckle down, do his job and then get a wage rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those performances improved dramatically last season, along with an England call up, so it is more than fair that he would expect an wage increase. Do you think Payet would have been happy staying at West Ham on his first salary there? No, he got rewarded for his performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cc_star Posted 16 August 2016 Share Posted 16 August 2016 Offer our goalkeeper, a departed midfielder, our forward, and a winger £100k per week, but offer Drinkwater 20% less? Yes, no wonder he turned it down - You don't give yourself much room to manoeuvre when other deals are out in public like they are and the fact there's quite a few of them would lead others as prominent as Drinkwater is worth the same Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put yourself in the real world....your doing your job as an integral part of a management team and you help your business to grow exponentially to be the leading provider in the UK.....your Salary value would rocket and then you find out your fellow managers/directors have all had 100% pay rises but you have been offered a smaller one..........now I defy you to tell me you would not be fed up and look for a new job..... Footballers get paid ridiculously unjustifiable salaries but that is the market and if your valuable which Drinky is then he will be in demand.......head will be turned and feel undervalued....lets get him sorted because he is pretty much the engine room of our team and will only get better!

I can understand that he'd be surprised that Players like Kasper are being offered more but I'd be surprised if any other team offers him more than £80K a week. I'm positive that Spurs won't. They are not paying that sort of wages and are probably not even interested in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ted Maul Posted 16 August 2016 Share Posted 16 August 2016 He won't leave, he just obviously feels as though he deserves to be earning as much as our other top players. I can't blame him, to be honest. If it was just Vardy and Mahrez earning more than him, he'd probably say 'fair enough' and take the £80k- why on earth did we offer Kasper £100k?! That's the one which has set the precedent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I'd ask for a new increased salary but I'd understand that contractually I'm bound by what I have - and what I was happy with only a few weeks ago. If my team goes back to the relegation fight I won't agree to go down to £20K per week - would you? I personally think Drinky is worth more than Kasper and Vardy but I would never have agreed to pay them £100K. I'd happily have shown Kasper the door.

inckley fox Posted 16 August 2016 Share Posted 16 August 2016 I remember an article the day after we won the title, which was along the lines of 'what happens next for Leicester?' I paid little attention to it because I was too busy with the fact that we'd won the title. If I recall correctly, the first point was that Leicester needed to have new contracts on the table for all of their regulars immediately. The suggestion was that this might cost us 50-60m over the next few years, but it would be better to spend our newfound wealth on this rather than a deficit in transfer dealings. I'm not sure any of this is right, but that was the view they took. The writer argued that contractual issues needed resolving before August if we wanted to progress, because all of these lower-end PL players were now league-winning PL players and would expect league-winning PL salaries. The unrest caused by some getting a better deal and not others would cost us, and the cost of keeping players would rise the longer we went without wrapping up new deals. We don't yet have a deficit in transfer dealings, of course, and I don't know whether we had to pay Vardy and Schmeichel more for not having that deal ready in May. But if, as Drinkwater claimed, we hadn't offered him anything until a week or two ago - but we had offered other key players something - then we were surely asking for trouble. I believe Ranieri will sort things out on the pitch, in time, but this side of business feels like it was done in a slapdash sort of way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan LCFC Posted 16 August 2016 Share Posted 16 August 2016 Vardy & Mahrez are the only two players we could justify giving six figures and I think even that's pushing it. Give it to anyone else and we've made a rod for our own back. It's a very tough scenario to manage really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wymsey Posted 16 August 2016 Share Posted 16 August 2016 Having been linked with a few CM's, and if we signed one of them would be no problem. Drinkwater would be missed but not irreplaceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given teams are prepared to shell out 20 million for him when he's nearly 30 I'd guess he is, same with Mahrez obviously. Kasper though, wtf.

Grewks Posted 16 August 2016 Share Posted 16 August 2016 If i was him, i'd want to leave for two reasons. 1) (Presumably) Not being offered 100k a week, when the likes of Kasper, a bang average keeper, is being offered the same. 2) The club isn't showing any ambition whatsoever....in fact, it's going backwards.

Callabinho Posted 16 August 2016 Share Posted 16 August 2016 It's worrying that these topics are even being discussed...no premier league champions shouldn't be fighting to keep our best players a week into the new season. Maybe it's the clubs nievity having not being in this position before? Either way way we've ****ed something up, I still don't think our squad has anywhere near the depth and quality to compete in all of the competitions we're in this season. Something is going to suffer, I just hope it isn't the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
