That's a really good offer considering there is no other interest at that level from elite clubs. He says he wants to go and his club are just refusing to let him regardless of offer. I could have some sympathy if it was a lowball offer but this seems personal now by Puel to piss off both Leicester and Fofana. He is on a contract, which he presumably signed voluntarily. So the rights are with ASSE, not with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Player has no right to complain IMO If he wanted to be able to leave in circumstances such as these he should have got his agent to include a get out clause in his contract 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but having a player who wants to move on to improve his career and salary and your club are refusing to accept such great offers for you is only going to piss everyone off. I'd imagine if that €32m offer is true it will make him the most expensive teenage defender of all time. It's still St Etienne's choice but they'll have a player who will mentally check out. this is like the Mahrez situation when he didn't kick off when Roma were offering peanuts for his services but when £60m offers come in and are refused he'll do his nut.

People seem to be gutted if we get Tah - think he’ll be good in a back three tbh. Can't say I know enough about Tah but allegedly he's been so poor, he's not even 3rd choice now and fallen behind Dragovic in the ratings. From what is said also, his pace is now such, that he makes Wes Morgan look like Dancing Brave winning L'arch de Triomphe! Just because Congerton knew him a few years ago, is he really what we need? Rather than waste the money for the sake of it, are we not better to just perm any one from Morgan, Fuchs, Armarty, Benkovic or Knight if really needed rather than lumber ourselves with second best and be stuck for several years with another big wage earner? 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd guess they would show a united front, but privately there must be some disagreement. That's a phenomenal amount of money at this present time. Agree. Read somewhere on their forum a fee of 50m is equal to 33% of their annual running costs. If they do have loans to repay, then you really do wonder this is Puel being a shade vindictive.

Edingleyfox Posted 22 September 2020 Share Posted 22 September 2020 If correct 32 million Euros is a ridiculous offer for a 19 year old with a years experience at a high level. He may have bags of potential but you are playing for a complete player at that price. Given the terrible pandemic we are still facing with finance a huge issue this is extortionate Please move on and secure Jonathan Tah or James Tarkowski ideally the latter before we reach a new record number of FT pages for an unsigned player 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puel will be following instructions..... if he has publicly rejected the offer then he surely wouldn’t be doing that as a challenge to the owners ??

foxfanazer Posted 22 September 2020 Share Posted 22 September 2020 No sympathy for the player in these instances. We can't moan about the attitude of players like Mahrez when they do it to us and then condone when it's a target of ours. Nobody had a gun to his head when he signed his contract. If he's unattainable we need to move on to other targets 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
