st albans fox Posted 3 October 2020 Posted 3 October 2020 22 minutes ago, Raw Dykes said: Yes, but Slimani and the club would have to agree on compensation for the rest of his wages. Obviously - but if we cancel his contract then he will expect a s/o fee from a new club to compensate for his loss in earnings of 4mill. Either way we have to cover that contractual amount.
Gerard Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 You can't just mutually agree to terminate a player's contract and then him sign elsewhere when the window is shut. If a player is registered with a club at the close of the window and then released after that time he still can't be registered with a new club until the next window opens. A bit like us with Adrien Silva, he was 100% a Leicester player but still registered with Sporting Lisbon thus wasn't allowed to be registered by us until the next window opened.
moore_94 Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 (edited) Torino continue to look for a striker to bolster Giampaolo's squad. In addition to Kalinic and Torregrossa, the granata are targeting Leicester's Islam Slimani, who was previously linked to Inter before spending last season on loan at Monaco where he scored nine goals in eighteen games. Slimani returned to England, but just like Adrien Silva who signed with Sampdoria, he will be released from his contract. Torino offered a two year deal that is seen as a good value of quality and price, the negotiation is ongoing. Edited 4 October 2020 by moore_94
Sly Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 It seems Slimani will go. It’s more a case of where to at this stage. Absolutely nothing on Ghezzal though ....
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Ghezzal going to Besiktas apparently

jeffschlupp Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 Just read a tweet saying Ghezzal will land at Istanbul airport at 4am, so that's been sorted late tonight. Foot Mercato say no buy option. Given he's out of contract in 2022, we'll likely get rid permanently next summer. Slimani will be a permanent (free transfer) like Silva. Fiorentina the latest to be mentioned, they'll have money to spend after losing Chiesa. Also Torino, Lyon (also cash rich once Depay leaves), West Brom (Bilic confirmed they like him) are all interested. So he will surely get a deal done.
MPH Posted 4 October 2020 Posted 4 October 2020 so with 3 players wages off the wage bill i’d expect another signing coming in..

Gubbins Posted 5 October 2020 Posted 5 October 2020 Assuming slimani leaves on a perm that's practically all the current deadwoods wages off the books for the season. Just need a doctor to convince James to retire for the clean sweep! 1
MPH Posted 5 October 2020 Posted 5 October 2020 2 hours ago, Adster said: Why? These were players with no future at the club that were never going to be in the squad anyway. Thats a lot of money we were spending on wages that we no longer are.
Deeg67 Posted 5 October 2020 Posted 5 October 2020 Net spend is the issue though, and outgoing already exceeds the Chilwell money. Not convinced we'll be adding anyone else.

Weve probably already budgeted for that. And if not, I'd rather put that money towards new contracts for Soyuncu and Ricardo. With king, Slimani, silva, kapustka and Diabete gone permanently this summer thats a good start. Next summer the only deadwood we'll have to shift will be Ghezzal and James, both with only a year left so should be relatively easier. I imagine they'll assess it again in January- we'll be closer to knowing whether fans are allowed back in, where we are in Europe and whether we're lacking in the league. We'll also see whether we need a left back or not. I think they'll wait - hard to get quality at this stage of the window without paying silly money.

LCCFox96 Posted 5 October 2020 Posted 5 October 2020 Think Besiktas is a decent loan move for Ghezzal. If he can show some of the form he did at Fiorentina post-lockdown we've a very realistic chance of that becoming permanent, which would be the ideal solution. Good luck to him.

urban fox Posted 5 October 2020 Posted 5 October 2020 (edited) 2 down 1 to go by the looks of it and still plenty of chatter around Slim. Would be great if we actually got something for him rather just another loan though but just having him off the wage bill is better than nothing. Actually suspect it will end up as a Silva type deal where we let him go on a permanent free. Edited 5 October 2020 by urban fox
