Glorious Leicester Fan Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 (edited) I cannot imagine there’s many clubs who are prepared to spend big in the Jan window. The financial uncertainty CV 19 has created cannot be underestimated. We all hope that fans will be allowed to return for the start of next season, but there’s no guarantees. The longer stadiums are empty, the more precarious club’s finances become. Arsenal brings in over 1 million turnover per match. That’s a big loss.

MPH Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 if we do try and sign him now, our desperation will be plain for Celtic to see... they probably just added 5 million to his asking price.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why wait until next summer, absolute madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duty free is dying on its arse, why in gods name should we pay way over market value for someone who will be cheaper and easier to get in June? Also if you start paying over market value all your transfers become harder to do as clubs know you will pay more look at Man United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you start paying over market value all your transfers become harder to do as clubs know you will pay more look at Man United. ....it was just an example that anything is available at a price!!! So far as doing transfers are concerned unless you are Man. United paying over the odds is taking you on the road to ruin. Picking Edouard up now would be something like £15-20m and no doubt about the same in the summer, I can only believe we are not in the market for him as we failed to bring him in this window. The Duty Free situation applies to King Power and LCFC are self sustainable and not reliant on Duty Free income. The relaxation in FFP will allow us to spend more than we would normally be allowed so there is an option. The loans taken out with McQuarrie are contingent of revenues from our final positions in the league and are worth in excess of £100m, obviously top 4 would be more and excess revenue from Champions League would beef this up. As usual should we earmark the funds for building (redeveloping) the stadium then we might choose to offload a player to meet our needs. Once the stadium is complete we will no longer have to sell in order to finance future purchases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruzFOX Posted 31 January 2021 Share Posted 31 January 2021 Do we even know how much Celtic will be prepared to sell him for and do we have that cash? I keep hearing Newcastle are ready for Hamza as soon as we are ready to sell. witn Rogers hell bent on a Dennis Praet replacement that means no striker insight. i’d like us to make a move for edourdo I really would. He will be hungry to impress in the premier league. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
