Maguire to Man Utd / Man City

[Pentatonic]

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.

More than happy with £65m anyway. Hope it's not far from the truth.

Minus 15% we owe Hull is about 56 million

Presumably 15% of the profit. Althought that only makes a couple of mill difference. 

 

Thinks out loud - what happens with these sell-on deals if we sell for a lower fee but plus a player?

There must be a mechanism for valuation of the player

£58m for a 26 year old who's got limitations. I get why this will be unpopular to some but I think the money could be used elsewhere to kick us on.

Not convinced we have the ability to spend £35m + Silva for Tielemans and then go and spend £30m on a winger and another £20m on a striker.

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.

Why did you think that? Because some fraud hack reported us spending big and people jumped on it.

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.

That goes with out saying though, if Youri signs the record will be beaten by 10m if it’s 40m possibly more.

 

If it ends up offset by Maguire fee, I don’t think we will end up (net) spending much more than other seasons 

[hamptonfox]

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.

He said the same last season and we spent about £20m net. I’m still putting all of this major backing under “believe it when I see it”.

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.
