kingkisnorbo Posted 25 August 2022 Posted 25 August 2022 (edited) Just accept the 75 if it does materialise. No point bean counting over a player who doesn’t want to be here. No time for letting players just take up space on the wage bill. Not to mention the fact that if he stays, it’s literally all that will get talked about for the rest of the season and we have enough bother as it is. Edited 25 August 2022 by kingkisnorbo 1

Not bean counting - 10-15 million is a huge amount for us, and remember, their bid is more like 60-65m with the rest add-ons that might not be realistic. Edited 25 August 2022 by lcfc_forever
Rusko187 Posted 25 August 2022 Posted 25 August 2022 In the past few days I’ve been thinking about whether the club should take £75m and be done with it. Tonight, I’m starting to think we should just reject any offer because it’s Chelsea… and if Fofana don’t like it, he can train on his own until he gets back on board! Chelsea are always trying to muscle teams with transfers, about time someone stood up to them and said no! 3

Don’t understand this obsession with the fee at this stage. I find it baffling that some of you want a player sitting around sulking and losing value for the sake of 10 million quid. Get rid. Unless you want to die for that badge, you shouldn’t be anywhere near that squad. Edited 25 August 2022 by kingkisnorbo

It majorly impacts who we can replace him with before the window closes, given our financial situation and St Etienne take a cut. We have a valuation, Chelsea should sh*t or bust.

We need to get some commitment back in the team.

He’s 21 that’s why it’s should be more, he’ll be a top player by the age of 23 he’s up there now. 80m plus 10 add ons or no deal in my opinion 1
Vindaloo FOX Posted 26 August 2022 Posted 26 August 2022 (edited) He is everything that is wrong with young footballers A waste man, a child and to be honest I wish we had never signed him. Got more respect for Maguire than this idiot. Edited 26 August 2022 by Vindaloo FOX 1

Fox 4 Life Posted 26 August 2022 Posted 26 August 2022 I hate the kid as much as anyone else for how he is acting but I don't believe for a second that if any of you were approached by your current jobs competitor who were bigger, in a better market and were offering double to triple your salary to do the same job, that you wouldn't be doing exactly the same. Not condoning it but I can't see anyone arguing otherwise.

You are normally commiting to a notice period, so if you sighed a 5 year contract, you can leave. When you view wages, it's through the lens of a usual wage level, where 2 years worth isn't retirement money! 1

Dahnsouff Posted 26 August 2022 Posted 26 August 2022 Anyone know how much we have paid Fofana since his arrival? Transfer fee, wages, etc. The fee would have in part have been amortised I assume?

The fee is amortised in the accounts but we still have to pay ASSE the fee agreed inc any add ons on the agreed schedule. I believe that even if we sell him the schedule of payments to them stays the same. hence you can making payments on a player you no longer hold registration on. If you get money up front on sale then that’s good for cash flow! 1 1
daddylonglegs Posted 26 August 2022 Posted 26 August 2022 Just wish this was a situation like the Maguire/Chilwell onses where the media were talking about our 'best' defenders being poached, despite that being nowhere near the truth
Pliskin Posted 26 August 2022 Posted 26 August 2022 Chelsea are playing a game, they will pay the asking price, but on deadline day. Meaning with a game, we won’t sign anyone, and be weakened even more!
