Fofana asks to be left out of tomorrows squad

[Stuntman_Mike]

If it's that much of a dream move for him, let him stump up the extra cash himself to meet the asking price.

Leaves a sour taste in the mouth considering how much we've helped him get back to playing and the fact he signed a contract in March. But not really te contract, it was more the words that came with it. 

 

I don't wish any ill on him. But I also won't wish him well at Chelsea. 

 

It's a shame because it could have been so much better for both us and him. The fact we've only seen little of him in person is what actually grinds the most. Maybe after Chelsea I hope he has a good career but we're like a fvcking feeder club for them now. Chilwell, Kante, Drinkwater and now Fofana. Disgusting. 

It's also not a clever move when the France national team have had issues with disruptive players and egos so could be a warning sign for Deschamps, especially when he has so many quality CBs to choose from.

 

Maybe that's why he was trying to distance himself from this poorly thought through action?

Hope he fails spectacularly at Chelsea.

 

Won't go as far as wishing another awful injury on him but let's say I feel a lot less angry at that Villarreal player now.

Some of the vitriol on here is ridiculous. A few ought to be ashamed.

 

Now looking like Rodgers is the one to pull him out. Correct decision in my opinion. Let him sit in the stands until 1st Sep. If Chelsea don’t bid the amount we want to accept he’s on a 5 year contract.

Personally I felt this kid was a hot potato over the way he messed his last team around.  The off field Social Media games he played to force a move to us should have been a warning.

 

I'm sorry, hand in a transfer request (lose some money then Wes) and wait for Chelsea to stump up the money.  Just asking to be dropped is a really unprofessional and crappy way to manage this situation.

Do we believe that report though?

Dorset has said it is Brendan's decision - not Wes. 

 

 

That could easily be Rodger's saying that to 'protect the player' in the hope that if the move falls through the relationship isn't as strained between player, club and fans.

Tanner needs to drive traffic to the athletic to get paid.

 

What gives you more clicks, Fofana has asked to be left out or has been dropped due to being distracted. 

[adejo92]

Any chance of Choudhury being recalled before the Chelsea match if he does go?

 

Asking for a friend.

I'd offer Brendan a 10 year extension if he had the balls to let him rot on the bench for the next 5 years

Ornstein also wrote the piece who is highly regarded.

The article did seem weird to me. To come out with such an accusatory headline and then go into absolutely no details about the accusation. Then giving some quotes from yesterday that are totally separate.

This is a great point. Tanner well respected amongst Leicester fans. Brendan planning to leave him out. Very easy for the club to go to Tanner and ask him to drop a little article.

wow...just wow! Honestly I wonder about some of our fanbase sometimes......

[filbertway]

Be mad if Rodgers is too much of a coward to take the flak for dropping Fofana so gets Tanner to drop an article stating that Wes requested to be dropped

Usually Percy that we use as a “mouth piece” isn’t it?

Pretty much the definition of click bait. And it’s worked because you’ve read the article.

Seems that way, be interesting to see how we react to this. Damned if we do, damned if we don't scenario given the ramifications with our transfer business and contracts situation in the next year.

Offer two options: 1) large cash lump-sum and  2) lower cash figure with bonuses and Chalobah permanent deal / season loan and maybe ask for CHO on loan. 
 

cash deal should include deadline as we would need to go into the market ourselves.

The club have been using Tanner a lot more since he's been writing for the Athletic. He called the financial situation weeks before it was put to Dorsett to go on Sky.

[coolhandfox]

Some people need to take the tinfoil hats off. 

 

[gerrytaggart]

Hey Fofana how about we pay you an obscene amout of money to play football and then you ask not to play.

 

Fine him,  the absolute bell
