Pentatonic Posted 20 June 2019 Share Posted 20 June 2019 (edited) Where is it written in stone that Leicester can't build their own dynasty around players like Maguire and Maddison? Why are all the "Not Big" clubs seemingly obligated to feed the likes of Manchester City and United their best young players? Southampton has been selling off their best players for the past several years (mostly to Liverpool), and all that the money has gotten them is to turn them into a club perennially fighting relegation -- which will happen soon enough.

I thought we were backing Rodgers this summer? I doubt he would come on board just for promising young players obviously the the vision of the club is the main reason, but I expect Top to back him.

Thinks out loud - what happens with these sell-on deals if we sell for a lower fee but plus a player? We paid 17 million for him, if we sell him for 65 million minus 15% , that’s 65 - 9.75 which is 55.25 million, minus the 17 equals 38.25 million profit, which just about covers YT, as long as we can keep Wes going for a few more years, we’re rockin.

If it ends up offset by Maguire fee, I don’t think we will end up (net) spending much more than other seasons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamptonfox Posted 20 June 2019 Share Posted 20 June 2019 Benkovic is injured again, so selling Harry would leave only three fit centre backs. So some funds may need to be used to buy a fourth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post murphy Posted 20 June 2019 Popular Post Share Posted 20 June 2019 Disappointing to see so many of us that don't rate Harry that highly. There's no better CB on the ball in my opinion. You don't know what you've got til it's gone as Joni Mitchell said. £65m is not enough. I would feel like we've been mugged again if we got any less than £75m. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
