sdb Posted 12 August 2022 Posted 12 August 2022 He'll go. If it's under £80m we've had a mare. God knows who we'll bring in to replace him but I'm not optimistic. 1

We simply have no room in the squad and pruning some Deadwood is needed, not selling the family silver I didn't say that we were in financial crisis, if I implied that I apologise. Actually I probably did so fair enough. We aren't. I was actually trying to make the point that your blithe comment about bean counters was a bit silly. The idea we are a club that can operate without considering such things is sadly a nonsense. To suggest we can just bat it off to bean counters is just not correct.

He did report the other day that the clubs were 20m apart well we know that their second bid was 60m and the club defo won’t sell below 80m at the time he said that, everyone assumed that Chelsea second bid was 65/70m Has he guessed the 20 ? Possibly

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 12 August 2022 Posted 12 August 2022 No amount of money at this late stage will be enough, not even £120 million which I think is fair in todays market for Fofana. If he is to be sold next summer at the earliest giving us chance to scout future talent etc 1 1

Possibly 100% he has. He does nothing more than read between the lines and make educated guesses. King Cnut he is.
Popular Post floz Posted 12 August 2022 Popular Post Posted 12 August 2022 Ben Jacobs is full of shite. The fact he claims to be a Leicester fan is laughable. Practically begging for Fofana to leave and for us to "know our place". 4 2

King Cnut he is. This time next year he could be worth £150 million. It is too late in this window to sell as there is absolutely no chance of fining a like for like replacement. He is money in the bank, better than any interest rate. Why on earth would we want to sell him now? 3

dmayne7 Posted 12 August 2022 Posted 12 August 2022 That post from Ben Jacobs is absolute toilet. The fact he has to explain that the buying party is looking for a cheaper fee which is normal in negotiations. Thanks so much Ben, I'd have never know that otherwise 1 1

Touchwood we can find another Fofana next Jan or Summer and sell Fofana for over 100m 1

The_77 Posted 12 August 2022 Posted 12 August 2022 I was getting worried about Ben, we were well into the evening hours and he still hadn’t sent out his daily tweet that Fofana wants to leave.

LVFox Posted 12 August 2022 Posted 12 August 2022 1 hour ago, Paninistickers said: Bizarre logic. We could have a world star playing for us, and you'd rather have the money?! I wanna be entertained. I wanna win. The club balance sheet is a bean counter's problem, not mine. If the club is going to always stay as a top 10 club then we will always need to sell our best players when the right offers come in. Sorry but that’s just fact. We have to back ourselves to sell at the right price, and bring in two or three replacements that improve the team/squad overall. It’s the only way we will ever compete. 2
weller54 Posted 12 August 2022 Posted 12 August 2022 Big Dan for Little Wes tomorrow is my prediction.

I couldn't disagree more. The only way to remain a top.10 club is to have good players.

Don’t want anyone with us that does want to be. Managed without him for most of last season, and while not the best year, still finished 8th. Agree let him go another Kante that only ever seen us as a stepping stone. Just glad he didn’t insert a sell on clause like Kante did. hopefully we can get a CB and RW in then over the next couple of weeks Edited 12 August 2022 by Fox1980 2

U would like to think the scouting team already have someone in mind. They should always be a step ahead. Just annoying that we have probably missed out on 1 or 2 targets already this window with this all happening so late. 1

Possibly You make it sound as if the club would be willing to sell should they offer above £80m.
