Honestly, Fofana is a fantastic player as a defender. This kind of players with a high sense of positionning, very strong on duals and no slow at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year, the Board would have accepted before even reading the contract. It's a different story today... Saliba's story is in everyone's mind. The club has said it would not repeat the same mistake. But everyone has a price, we can only hope it's fairly higher than what Leicester City can offer Edited 23 September 2020 by teddybear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Test them with 25m sods and see how their resolve is after losing 8 zip at Bayern. Other targets i'd look at would be Milenkovic at Fiorentina, Badiashile at Monaco, Tomori, Vanheusden at Liege, Denayer at Lyon, Diakhaby at Valencia and Leite at Porto Denayer would be my pick all day long. Was so impressed with how much he’s came on, when I watched the champions league game against Man City. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post urban.spaceman Posted 23 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 23 September 2020 2 hours ago, Cleminem said: "A club of our standing"... Should I remind you that you've been only 1 time champion? St-Étienne has been 10 times, which actually is the highest performance in France si may be you should reconsider your opinion about St-Étienne. By the way, we're deeply sorry if it hurts you that we refuse to sell our best player after having played less than 6 months with the professional group. Wesley has spent 6 years in the young classes of St-Étienne, so we believe he can play at least a complete season before he moves away. As fans, we all think that Wesley will cost much more than 30M€ with one or two more years of experience. So be patient, stay focused on your "high standing" expectations and perhaps we can make a deal next year... for hopefully much more than 30 Millions. Yeah, but... Champions of England, you’ll never sing that.. 1 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 23 September 2020 Share Posted 23 September 2020 1 hour ago, Cleminem said: Actually, the most bankable players in St-Étienne are indeed Fofana, Bouanga (estimated at 15-20M€), Aouchiche will for sure get a high value soon as well as Macon (left back), Youssouf or Neyou (both mid players). Puel arrived a year ago with a clear project: to build a team around high talented young players and thankfully we have a lot this year. The result is already there as we lead the championship after the first 4 games with an average of 22 years old team on the pitch, and I can tell you that we play our best football since maybe 7 years. So no way to leave Wesley this year, he's definitely a key player ! If you as a Club have enough money to survive through this season, even if Corona causes another shut down resulting in repayment of TV revenues etc. and stadium closures, then great news for ASSE and all their fans. Makes hanging on to Wesley perfect sense. However, I just wonder how you will feel about Puel if say in few months time you find your Club facing bankruptcy? In the UK all Clubs below the Premier League (and even some in the Premier League) are going to struggle to survive financially if games are played behind closed doors for the whole season. 50m transfer fees may be confined to history for a year or so, if the virus continues to disrupt football. There are not many 50M+ transfers taking place this window except from Chelsea. Good luck for the rest of the Season and thank you for your in put. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NaijaFox Posted 23 September 2020 Share Posted 23 September 2020 (edited) 5 hours ago, moore_94 said: Summary of the L’Equipe article The Foxes’ first offer of €25m and a second proposal worth €28.5m (including €3.5m in bonuses) were rejected by Saint-Étienne. According to L’Equipe, the Premier League side made a ‘third offer’ on Monday, worth €32m, and it includes a 10 percent sell-on clause. Brendan Rodgers’ side are now waiting for the Ligue 1 side to give the ‘green light’ for the transfer. Saint-Étienne general manager of services Xavier Thuilot is working on downsizing the squad and also trying to raise funds through player sales. However, there’s only one player receiving offers, and that’s Fofana. Leicester’s latest offer is ‘tempting’, and should the French club accept it, it will be their record sale, surpassing the €25m plus €5m bonuses Arsenal agreed to take William Saliba last summer. The Foxes’ offers looks like a ‘jackpot’, more so if you take into account the impact of the Covid-19 crisis on the club’s finances. However, this thinking isn’t shared by everyone internally at Saint-Étienne. Claude Puel doesn’t want to hear about the centre-back leaving until next summer, something which was agreed when the 19-year-old signed a new contract in April. Saint-Étienne president Bernard Caïazzo and vice-president Roland Romeyer chaired a meeting with Puel and Thuilot on Monday evening. After the meeting, the club’s management decided to go with Puel’s stance, which is to retain the player beyond the ongoing transfer window. Therefore, they have rejected Leicester’s third offer for Fofana. Sounds like we’ve done the ‘best’ we can. Time to move on. Reasonably certain that the overwhelming majority of us had never heard of Wesley Fofana until a few weeks ago, and thus we should quit acting as if life would be less than without him. Meanwhile, the more money we throw at ASSE, the more money prospective alternatives will view us as being willing to spend. Bin this one!
