This should be simple. We should tell them his price is 100 million, 80 million up front, if you want him, pay it, if not, then off you trot!

You’ve just answered your own question in your last comment. 
 

There isn’t a single player that doesn’t have a value. Irrelevant of importance. Football ultimately is a business. No getting away from it. 
 

As mentioned it’ll be a shame to let him go. But the balance sheet always takes precedent over the heart of a fan. Especially at clubs the size and stature of Leicester. 

Of course, I’m just seeing price tags of £85 million and feel we could get that or more next season, so surely a no brainier to keep him for one more?

85 mil is a lot of money for any player that plays for us. This guy is so so good but we can’t compete with the teams paying this sort of money for our players. Getting 80 for maguire and possibly 85 for Wes is crazy will be a shame to see him go but if he goes hopefully we do get someone in to replace him. It won’t be easy to get someone at his level but we can still hopefully find someone that will be so a good job for us for the next years. 

Your optimism in our Recruitment Team is something I do not share after last summer. That needs a thorough cleansing when Glover arrives in situ.

Do people really think that Romano is responsible for bidding clubs getting information 😂😂😂

 

he is there for fans - fans can put pressure on clubs so he serves a purpose 


rather than following all journos, fabrizio lets you know what’s being reported in one place - and yes he is informed aswell 

 

I’d debate that slightly - he’s certainly used by agents. The reason he was so good in last years was because he had a relationship with Minola that no one else did

Might as well follow that up immediately with "Leicester set to reject £80m bid from Chelsea for Wesley Fofana"

So on that basis, he sits around and does this all day for free? 


 

well, like I said I’m sure some agents are paying him money to post some things..

He's more consistent and a less than a liability than Maguire (am still struggling to understand how they wanted to pay such an amount, with him being a fairly decent defender but can get caught out here and there).

 

A £90m asking price would definitely be good value for a highly-rated young defender, given today's market.

I think we can fleece them for 105m.  This new bunch are amateurs.

Fofana is going but package is going to be over 100 million.

80 up front 

and a player.

the way Wes forced his move here was Always going to go, but after the injury thought he would give us a couple of years.

also he could be better than Chelsea.

Man City or Real Madrid player all day

👏 gets caught out quite often, always jumps in and has to use his pace to cover. At 21 no surprise but 24-25 he is one of the worlds best.

I seriously think we should be holding out for £100m.  It’s late in the summer to replace the best young centre half in the country and it basically means going into the season with Evans, Cags, Amartey and Vestegard.  Cags contract is up next summer and we’re trying to shift Vestegard, Evans is older and more injury prone so we need at least 2 if not 3 centre halves in the next 12 months.

This, he either goes for an absolutely ridiculous record reading fee, or waits until next season.

Daft question probably, but if Chelsea buy Fofana for £80 million and having already spent in region of £170 mill how does that work with FFP? They have not generated anywhere near that amount

FFP is only for small clubs, didn’t you know? 

 

They will get special consideration because of covid, the ukrainian war and the fact women don’t get paid as much as men.

I believe the FFP rules become even more murky if a new owner comes in.. plus they've got rid of Lukaku

Massive mysterious pipe of revenue generation, it literally spews out brown paper bags full of money, enough to offset any life threatening FFP ‘costs’

He’ll be worth more in 12 months than now anyway plus we’ll have a year more with him. He only played something like 10/15 games last season so if he gets 30/40 this year plus a World Cup we have an even stronger position.

Super League Club. Rules are different. They do what they like.

Chelsea are willing to go to £85m for Fofana and believe that would be enough to get him. Would take their spending over £200m and could be more beyond that (FDJ, Casadei, Auba targeted). So are they going to be able to make anything back on sales? #cfc

What they believe and reality could be different?
