Leeds Fox Posted 27 July 2018 Share Posted 27 July 2018 5 hours ago, Babylon said: People just need to get used to this, we are and always will be a selling club. Not in the sense of us needing the money, or the owners cashing in. But in the sense that there will always be bigger clubs than Leicester that our players and managers would prefer to go to. It's just the way it is. What's key is buying the right replacements. I was aiming my point at @MC Prussian saying something along the lines of buying Gibson and Mawson would give us stability at CB for the next 4 or 5 years. When in reality if they’re any good this won’t be the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players wanting to leave, agents pushing for a move, other clubs trying to unsettle players, the media. Yet the scenario is not impossible. Smalling and Jones have been at Manchester United for eight and seven years respectively. And we've had other players staying at LCFC for four or five years before, it's nothing out of the ordinary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARM1968 Posted 27 July 2018 Share Posted 27 July 2018 Are we getting to the point where we need to buy sh!t players to be left alone? With some of our purchases since the league win that appears to be the strategy. On a serious note. Mawson would be a good shout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only that we should have someone else lined up, we should only be doing it on our terms. Maguire is a good player but anyone turning their nose up at the best part of £80m has little concept of value. Quite right too! Did we not do that with Marhez in the January window ie 90m? If so same again. Pay up or shut up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaspa Posted 29 July 2018 Share Posted 29 July 2018 He's classy, just weak aerially. If it's between him Mawson, Lacelles I'd probably just favour Jamal but if Ben was available cheaper I wouldn't complain. Another Ben I'm surprised doesn't get mentioned is Mee, he's essential to Burnley's solidity, captained them and a left footer; they've sold their main players before for the right price too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bagworthblue Posted 31 July 2018 Share Posted 31 July 2018 Just in Turkey and chatting to a Boro fan. His lads in academy and his dad has connections. Reckons he's on his way to us. I had a word with Dean Gordon on the back of that as his lad just signed pro terms (who I met whilst here 6 years ago lol) and he reckons he's on his way out but not sure who to. Might be nowt. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed by Simpson, Albrighton and Ulloa. Hopefully, the same can be said for youngsters such as Chilwell, Choudhury, Ndidi or Maddison. Probably because, with a couple of exceptions, nobody else has tried to sign them. Loyal to the their bank accounts? Ulloa said he'd never play for the club again so he's far from being loyal.
