davieG Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 Questions reportedly arising over Christian Fuchs’ future at Leicester City. Leicester City's Christian Fuchs in action with Manchester United's Antonio Valencia According to The Sun, Christian Fuchs’ future at Leicester City is in doubt after the defender was seemingly offered less than he was expecting on a new contract offer. The report claims that Fuchs has been left a frustrated figure after seeing a number of teammates receive improved offers in the summer and he could be open to leaving in the January transfer window. The Austrian international joined the Foxes from Schalke on a three-year deal in the summer of 2015, and he soon became a key first-team member playing 32Premier League matches last term. In an astonishing season where Leicester won the title against the odds, Fuchs became the first Austrian to become a Premier League winner since Arsenal’s Alex Manninger in 1998. However, as a number of players such as Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel and Danny Simpson earned new deals with handsome raises, Fuchs was only offered a small rise. The Sun say he could look to leave should he not be offered better terms, and a switch to a fellow Premier League side as early as this January hasn’t been ruled out. The 30-year-old has started all five of Leicester’s Premier League games this season, and he played 90 minutes in the recent 3-0 Champions League win over Club Bruges in Belgium.
Tielemans63 Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 'According to the Sun' You can relax everybody
The Doctor Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 Hasn't he been quite clear he's planning to see out this contract and go to the MLS? Why'd he even be interested in new contract negotiations?
AKCJ Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 I thought the idea was that he would be here for 3 years before retiring in America?
Matt Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 On 28/08/2016 at 07:19, Matt said: I think contract talks would have stalled because I doubt they even began. We all know Fuchs' desire of going off to America when he's finished here to be with his family, I never saw him signing a new contract anyway. Going nowhere.
Bayfox Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 He has made it clear he wants to leave at the end of this contract, so he was never going to be offered a new one, now does he want a few quid extra for the next year and a bit we don't know, but it's unlikely he will leave for another club.
Gazza M Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 Sun bored. We have had a week of success so the London media trying to put us back down again.
davieG Posted 18 September 2016 Author Posted 18 September 2016 He dd say he was off to the USA but with 2 years left on a pre-championship winning contract and seeing the likes of Simpson etc getting big increases I think it's not unbelievable to think he wants an improved 2 year deal.
sylofox Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 What pisses me off most about that story and many others is the "won the title last season against the odds" Why the fvck do they have to keep printing that about us. Or do they use a template and fill in the blanks.
sk3since03 Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 "According to The Sun"...! That old chestnut
ALC Fox Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if he wanted a raise but not an extension to the contract. Surely there's a compromise to to be had here. Also, no figures have been mentioned so what's 'small' in The Sun's eyes? Not £100,000 per week?
MarkDeVirus Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 According to the same newspaper who said Mahrez had rejected a new deal to sign for Arsenal in the summer.

stevelcfc Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 Isn't this the second time they've claimed this?
Edingleyfox Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 One of his best games yesterday.I'm sure the club will sort it out if there really is a problem.
cc_star Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 He's on a 3yr deal, not even halfway through it....
Richard Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 They saw he hadn't had a new contract and tried to manufacture a story. Unfortunately they weren't as clued up as the fans, we all know he's off to MLS after

Unfortunately they weren't as clued up as the fans, we all know he's off to MLS after I'm not even sure he wants MLS? I read he wants to be NFL kicker, now i'm not sure if it was a tongue in cheek comment or even whether it's possible/a realistic aim, I know nothing about the sport really. Bearing in mind he's 29 (31 if he sees his contract out here), he might bypass MLS and go straight to the NFL route if as i've said its a genuine possibility/a realistic ambition. Did anyone watch the NFL show after MOTD last night that he featured in? I didn't because I have no interest in NFL whatsoever but just wondered if he made his desires clear in the show. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3521416/Christian-Fuchs-dreams-NFL-kicker-retires-life-Leicester-City-Premier-League.html

Fox92 Posted 18 September 2016 Posted 18 September 2016 He said he wanted to leave after his 3 years here. Non story, same old shite from the a shite newspaper. Anyway we've got a left full back with huge potential to come in.

I always thought he was joking with the NFL stuff.. now I'm not so sure
