It’s Percy…

He’s only quoting sources in Germany  though, correct?

Doubt he’d say it if he believed it was dodgy info. Has he ever been wrong about us? Can’t think of any examples.

If we sell Vestergaard as well as Fofana, and get one of the above along with Akanji it wouldn't be so bad.

 

 

Unfortunately I can't see Verstergaard going anywhere. The damage was done when we offered him the wage he is on.

 

Already turned down Fulham hasn't he?

 

He wants to "stay and fight for his place"  

[Guest Kopfkino]

Wtf is going on at the club? Have we imported all Man Utd’s staff and that’s why it’s gone to shit?

Tapsoba

 

If we are getting big money for Fofana then spend on a replacement with a high ceiling, not a player in his late 20s.

 

Akanji stinks of 70k+ per week trying to offload him back to the Bundesliga in a year or twos time

 

 

 

Percy said in an article the other day that if Fofana is sold we will be spending less than half of what we get towards new players

 

Those 3 you mentioned would cost at least that and probably more unfortunately

[Sunbury Fox]

Signing another second rate player in his late 20s is exactly what we don't need to do. What happened to identifying young talent with loads of potential and high resale value?

My only hope is that Percy isn’t claiming this as his own source and instead stating that it’s from “sources in Germany”.

 

It could be agent talk to get his name thrown into Fofana chat to try and advertise his availability.

I hope you’re right…

[foxy boxing]

Akanji this happening! 

[South Shire Fox]

This is why i hope we dont sell Fofana because you just knew they’d panic buy shit like this with the money and be in an even weaker position then before. Theres a reason players arent wanted at their clubs. The clubs recruitment team needs a shake up from top to bottom. Far too many older players with no resale value are being signed under this dipstick 

[Safestandingfox]

Signings like these stink of regression in and around the club, not what's required or what's wanted

[sphericalfox]

The perfect scapegoat transfer. Get him in.

Someone said it the other day, but we remind me of Sunderland from 5-6 seasons ago 

[lgfualol]

Apparently he's well shit. So I think we'll buy him.

[winteriscoming]

At least Rose will know one player when he takes over from Rodgers.

Yeah but transfer fees aren't straight forward

While we'd be booking those 80m onto our books immediately, if we were to sign say Tapsobah for 30m (ignore the number for now), then we wouldn't be putting 30m on the books but rather 6m + wages over 5 years

Unless unough time has gone by now for the club to have woken up to our predicament?

[urban.spaceman]

The last time we signed a Swiss player this happened...

 

[teblin]

I know nothing about this lad, but maybe it’s because we can get him on loan and means we don’t rush to buy. 
 

has to be better than big Dan doesn’t he?

[FoxesWalk]

Seems like a down to earth kinda guy, if those numbers are correct he would be looking to be our highest paid player…. So I doubt it 🤣

[FoxesWalk]

Quite a few places reporting his very high salary demands… 

[Sankey93]

Dortmund fans on Twitter are loving this. Loan with option to buy if possible! I would of preferred lacriox, taposba or badasahlie however you spell It haha 

[Saxondale]

I’m pretty sure the situation we’re in means the agent of every centre back in Europe who fancies a move to a PL team is chucking his player’s name in the media.

It’s not Percy, it was someone else and they clearly stated it’s just from Germany.

Think he is out of contract next year, so it’d be a purchase 

[lcfc sheff]

It’s bullshit clearly
