Haywood_6 Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 Just wanted to wish Fuch's a Happy Birthday on here for the other day. I know he's expected to leave to be with his family in America at the end of the season. I'd personally like to see him stay another year as I think he still has more to offer. But respect his decision and wish him well either way. If he does go then he'll be sorely missed, a technically superb left back and a great character. His role in our title-winning season should never be underestimated.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 Rumours that he might stay for another year.

Would be happy with this, vastly experienced and won't expect to play every week and saves us bringing in someone as backup to Chilwell. Not sure if Elder is up to standard.
Ric Flair Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 If we could keep him for another year, then I would. Although, I question why he would agree to it.

foxy boxing Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 Wish him well for whatever he chooses to do. we all give a Fuchs.

It's entirely possible that there has been no interest from any of the 3 MLS teams he wants to join in the New York area (NYCFC, New York Red Bulls, New England Revolution) so he may agree to another year rather than face the potential embarrassment of not being wanted by the above mentioned teams.

I'm sorry but for me the MLS is dross. I could maybe watch the highlights but that's it. They have a long way to go.

Yeah but his family live in the states so it makes sense for him to want to retire there. Sure the money makes it worth it but must be tough to be away and commute.
coolhandfox Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 No issue with him staying as long as his salary, reflects his current status in the squad.
Jack1993 Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 I am absolutely certain he can pick up a decent wage in most MLS clubs, his experience, fitness, ability & skill is far above their level. That said, happy for him to stay, I bloody love him.

That said, happy for him to stay, I bloody love him. I think he'd take a paycut going to the MLS compared to the wages he's on now. Wayne Rooney makes about 2.7M USD (annually). By comparison, Fuchs is making about 50% more than that at Leicester. If he decides to leave Leicester, it would almost certainly be to rejoin his family in New York, but there's no guarantee that he could sign a contract with New York Redbull or NYCFC. MLS is very complicated on how franchises can acquire foreign talent. Other teams may want to sign him, and he may not have the option to freely sign within MLS. Also the New York based franchises are parts of larger organizations (Redbull and the Man City owners) that may not be interested in bringing in declining premier league talent. Staying in Leicester for another year may make a great deal of sense, especially if Chilwell moves on. Fuchs has been more than adequate in his appearances this year, and he could see a lot more playing time, especially if we make it into the Europa League.
lgfualol Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 By next year he'll make Ulloa look like Usain Bolt. Not that keen, but dunno what else we will do for a LB next season.

Just a matter of time before this was posted. Also, if you live in the states, you should know it's just called "MLS" Anyway, for everyone else, Christian also opened up an indoor facility in upstate New York-- his options here in the states are not strictly limited to extending his playing career. They're having a grand opening in June where Wes, Huth, Simpson are set to play along with a few other former players. Some of the NY Foxes will probably take a drive up for that. As for whether or not he stays, I think he'd certainly be a quality player and character to have around next season, especially if we have trouble keeping Chilwell. Even if a game isn't going his way, he's got a magic left foot that can always create something out of nothing.
Guest SO1 Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 Where ? Do you have more Info? I grew up in Schenectady. I'm going if I can swing it. I'll give Soccer more respect in the US when I see poor kids playing in the streets. Like I played basketball and baseball. In Savannah $500+ to join a league. Sad. A rich man's game like everything else.
MC Prussian Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 I'd give FC Cincinnati a ring, they could use an experienced player or two. Only two hours away from NY by plane, easier commute.
That_Dude Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 If we fail to secure a back-up for Chilwell and he doesn't mind doing a part-time job, I wouldn't have anything against him staying.
FoxinNotts Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 I hope he stays. Him and Chilly have the left back position covered.
Corky Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 5 hours ago, UpTheLeagueFox said: Rumours that he might stay for another year. Don't think this is the worst idea. Chilwell might be off and having Fuchs there means we have someone around until a replacement is acquired.
rachhere Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 FUUUUUUUUCHS. Would be absolutely delighted if he stayed.
Stevosevic Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 Doubt he would say this if it wasn't a possibility.
The whole world smiles Posted 10 April 2019 Posted 10 April 2019 Brendon said tonight he want to keep him for at least one more year. Still has a lot to offer on and off the pitch. Behind Chilwell of course.
Vardinio'sCat Posted 11 April 2019 Posted 11 April 2019 If we get Europa league he would be dead useful. All of a sudden, no one wants to leave. In Brendan we trust.

No point in getting a quality left back when you don’t need to do much defending nor have good target men to cross to? ?
