Wesley Fofana - He is no more - finished - forgotten.

[Sunbury Fox]

Interesting that Barca have been told by La Liga that they can't register their new signings unless they reduce their wage bill in the next 8 days. Could result in Koundé becoming available again and he was first choice for Chelsea...

 

Yeah, alright, I'll put the straws down now...

Barca will find a way - they sold messi last time - it doesn’t get tougher for them than that !

Thanks. But that is his basic salary I presume? There will be a lot of extras that also cost the club.

Not sure, he could have bonuses

 

Not sure we paid much out on cleansheet bonus last season.

Sell Wes and get a cheeky Kounde loan!

[les-tah]

- We should tell Chelsea it’s now too late for this season and then say we will give you first refusal next season at our asking price only if you loan us Hudson Odoi.

 

least we might have a talented wide man out of it with something to prove.

Fire sale at Barca to get rid of everyone on the cheap! 

[Sly]

I wonder if someone would take a stab on Umtiti. He wouldn’t be the worst option for us, as long as he’s not still on a Gazzaillion pounds per week. 

[Sly]

And are Chelsea still submitting bids, advising us that if we don’t accept, they’ll come back to offer more?

He's awful and not been anywhere near prem quality for a number of years.

Edmund Tapsoba should be considered as a replacement when the time comes.

Don't think you can transfer that quickly can you or is it dependent on appearances?

He'd cost £45-50m minimum

Only 35 games in 3 years. Who knows, matches aside, I’ve not seen enough of him really to judge. 
 

He must have a big fall from grace though, to not get a place at the lower end then of the league at least. 

[CosbehFox]

Guardian journo speculating Chelsea will eventually go to £85m. 
 

Same tweet saying how do they it work? It would be a net spend of £200m plus

Thought journos amd agents would be trying tout replacements to us by now 

[LVFox]

Whilst we are throwing replacements around.

Sorry not looked, has there been anything in the press suggesting it’s a percentage of profit from the future fee, I have only seen the article suggesting it’s a sell on percentage fee clause?

 

On Friday, St Étienne and Leicester City confirmed the transfer of 19-year-old French central defender Wesley Fofana, in a €35m + €5m bonuses deal, which also includes a 20% sell-on percentage fee clause.

 

 

.... we have already paid £31.5m for him, why would we want to pay another 20% of this (£6.3m)  to St. Etienne again!!!

Ultimately their ulterior motive is concentrating on forcing the move to Chelsea first.

Kasper’s wages only free up £6m. What winger that’s going to make a difference along with his wages are we going to get for that? 

We don’t only have £6m though do we? We needed to free up the bill, and would obviously offer less than Kasper’s current wages. 

[SheppyFox]

Just get Huth, Big Wes & Big Was back. We’ll concede a third of the goals for corners with proper man’s man defenders back in the mix.

We were linked with him pre signing for Leverkusen so fee aside it’s not that wild a shout

[LCFCbwoi]

Can someone give me an honest reason why we’d sell him this window?

 

We’d be able to get the same money, maybe more, next season as we would be able to this season?

 

Plus our wage structure it’s still really bad and I still feel that we’d only have enough in our budget to maybe buy one or 2 players even with the Fofana money.

 

If we can’t strengthen our starting 11 by selling Fofana, then don’t sell him.
