I trust our scouting team to have ensured this won't be the case. 3 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: A fee has supposedly already been agreed in the summer for £5m, Percy reported it when he joined on deadline day. A preliminary fee. Doesn't stop them from taking him back at the end of the loan and saying they've revalued him and demand more/ sell to someone else. I think Brendan is keen to build for next season asap and he is part 1 of the build. Wouldn't surprise me if we line up a few deals to be finalised on the opening of the window to be honest.

brucey Posted 12 February 2020 Share Posted 12 February 2020 The £5m is an "option to buy" isn't it? I don't think they can turn around and take that away / sell to someone else for more unless we say we're not exercising that option. I don't know what us being "keen" to make it permanent means, of course we'd had to have some interest in doing that already or we wouldn't have got the clause put in! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These things normally work by there will be a certain date that Leicester have first refusal on him at that price so in effect if you exercise that and agree terms with the player he can't go anywhere else. Same happened with Alderweireld and Edouard with us last summer. The latter is just Leicester protecting their potential investment. For example if Bennett came in, played every game, was a star and went to the Euros or something like that (unlikely I know), then Wolves would want a helluva lot more money for him.

If he plays a certain amount of games we have an obligation to buy him, the fee will already be set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know that for certain? What I read when he signed was Leicester have a £5m option, that's very different to an obligation to buy.

Option turns into obligation after a certain number of games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a ball a CB should be able to deal with even after the bounce. 100%. This may work on strikers in the spl but up against Jutkiewicz you’re unlucky to win that type of battle. Mistakes happen, doesn’t make him a bad player. He needs to learn from that and quickly. Worried he won’t get another chance to make amends for a while. I’m personally a CB and I’ve made similar mistakes and you know what you’ve done wrong instantly. This is nothing to do with his talent, just a lapse in judgement. Glad he made it there and not for us. Edited 12 February 2020 by Lambert09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted 30 April 2020 Share Posted 30 April 2020 To have him on the bench is a huge strength in depth. I’d sign him up and bring in another hungry young CB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rain King Posted 4 July 2020 Share Posted 4 July 2020 Very impressed when he came on although hardly the most testing opponent. Looks like he adds a bit of strength and toughness to the defence which is sometimes lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AjcW Posted 4 July 2020 Share Posted 4 July 2020 Don't think it's a surprise to see him slot in well to a formation he's played in for three or four seasons now. Was a bit mental not starting him considering the tactic, made a huge difference having JJ as a wing back. Also think it's obvious we've not used him up until now because he had a 'must sign if makes X number of appearances clause' 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angus Scott Posted 4 July 2020 Share Posted 4 July 2020 He was ok, but I think we can do better than that. I think if we were intending signing him that he would have played before now. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baldeagle Posted 4 July 2020 Share Posted 4 July 2020 I know we improved as a team when he came on but did he really do anything. I thought it was more a case of the formation suited us better . And didn’t anyone notice him completely miss-control the ball and it go out for a throw in . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 4 July 2020 Share Posted 4 July 2020 Hands up if you'd genuinely forgotten we'd signed him until you saw him coming off the bench. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
