Pliskin Posted 28 September 2020 Share Posted 28 September 2020 Still think this will happen. Mainly because he is more likely to accept a rotation role. Tarks won’t. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will want to play, he’s not one for being a rotation option, not even in a higher wage. To come hear he will want to be guaranteed a starting place, and unless we constantly play a back three he won’t get that, Evans has been far too good to drop, even if Tarks will improve our game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough, I just disagree. With all respect to Burnley, Leicester is an upgrade in most respects. Better facilities, probably a significant increase in wages, European football, and better prospects of success going forward. Add to that, the club and the player’s agent, and indeed the player are probably not ignorant to the reality that Cags may be an asset that’s cashed in on in the future, as interest from bigger clubs will undoubtably continue if he carries on performing as he has been. Add all that together and he’d be foolish to turn his nose up at such an advancement opportunity at his age, even if it did mean he wouldn’t necessarily be starting every game (although still hardly a ‘bench player’ I doubt) Riyad went to Man City under similar terms, it’s not unheard of.

If he wants to join a top 6 side 😜 then he has to force his way into the team. Same way Maddison wouldn't get into the team atm (providing Praet didn't get injured) it's part of being in a squad wanting to play European football. Plus we will no doubt switch from 4 atb to 3 atb a fair bit I imagine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which club would carry on playing someone ,however good they've been, if there's a player who will improve our game on the bench. The manager would be risking their job out of loyalty to a player. Not as if Evans will be dropped, just rotated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brenfox Posted 28 September 2020 Share Posted 28 September 2020 Its got to be Fofana over Tarks purely on the basis that he is 1. Younger 2. Foreign 3. I've never seen him play & he could be great. More 1 & 2 really. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's legitimate they'd snap our hands off at that! That's an outrageous offer! Not me paying the bills though, and I really want to see him sign, so whatever it takes I guess, but damn...

Popular Post fox_favourite Posted 29 September 2020 Popular Post Share Posted 29 September 2020 Am I one of very few concerned about how the cost of Fofana is getting a little out of control. I do feel we've been played by St Etienne a bit. £40m+ just seems a lot for a player that's hardly played in the French league. Yes he has age on his side, and I'm not denying that he has possible potential, but it could be a bit of a gamble. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick examples in any position of teams paying over the odds. Rodrigo to Leeds for £30m, Watkins to Villa for £30m etc. It's possible to recruit very good players without paying over the odds for them. Any of these 3 would've been a decent addition to the team and been far less risk that splashing £35m on a player that hasn't even got a full season of first team football under his belt. Koch - Leeds - £12m Sarr - Chelsea - Free Salisu - Southampton - £10m Tbf we haven't seen Salisu play yet so know nothing about how he'll turn out. Koch has looked a good buy but Leeds could offer him something we couldn't, which is why he wouldn't consider us. Sarr is overrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
