If he’s that good why don’t Watford want to buy him , I'm sure it was a loan with an option to buy

Knowing Top and Ruskin , they probably want £20 million for him. Seems to me you won't get a bargain on a Bangkok market. And the issue of his pay is a real barrier.

The piece from Percy:

Southampton keen on Choudhury 

Southampton are looking at a deal for Leicester City midfielder Hamza Choudhury.

Choudhury, 25, played regularly for Watford while on loan last season and whether he is allowed to leave will be down to new Leicester manager Enzo Maresca, who is expected to sign central midfielder Harry Winks from Spurs.

Meanwhile, Armel Bella-Kotchap will be allowed to leave Southampton this summer if a club is willing to pay £25 million for the Germany international.

Bella-Kotchap has a release clause in his contract following Southampton’s relegation and is emerging as a target for clubs across Europe. Signed from Vfl Bochum last June, the defender was one of the few players to impress at St Mary’s Stadium last season.

 

Sorry don’t know how to change the size  

I find Viagra or Cialis helps…

[Tielemans63]

Pretty crude tactic but he could work in a possession-based side if his remit is literally to win the ball and give it to someone like Ward-Prowse. How long that would work for is debatable, though.

The low prices being touted  for some of our  other players I can’t see them wanting £20 million. 😂.

The club has been pricing our players out of a move for a long while now. Maddison had to go as he would have been down at £15 million at Xmas. The club thinks they can do a Fofana every time , but not every club is as naive as Chelsea.

[Devonfox1884]

I’d sell if we can get a fee of £5m personally, one year left and isn’t going to suit a possession-based system at all.

[Silebyfox_89]

Drain the swamp, get him gone.

 

Another bad contract handed out to a player who doesn't improve the squad.

 

Any fee we get is far better than letting another leave on a free.

Tbf they have a new manager every month. It probably isn't so straight forward

Fingers crossed - he isn’t getting into a starting 11 managed by a possession based manager. Second touch is a tackle

Third is most likely someone's leg.

If it was a Prem team I’d be fine with it but we shouldn’t be strengthening our competition.

But we'd be weakening our competition surely...

 

Or are we talking about another Hamza Choudhury?

[An Sionnach]

FoxesTalk has long dismissed Hamza as rubbish along with Chilwell, Thomas, KDH and often Barnes therefore suggesting that our academy is useless. There must be a strong case for shutting it down and saving some money. The answer apparently lies in the transfer market where we have been very successful recently. In truth I often think the club has no idea what it is doing.

Or it’s the fact he just not very good  and on a high wage 

[Leicester_Loyal]

Get a fee and get his wages off the books. Another waste of money. 

[TeamRocket]

Don't get why people dislike him so much? Honestly he ain't as bad as what some of our players have been like last season

You can't compare Hamza to those others though

Maybe not , but he’s right up there , we need a new midfield, players who can hold the ball and pass to a teammate , he can’t do any of that , so sell him now 

[Claudio Fannieri]

To be honest with the exception of Vardy and the January signings (except Tete), I think every other player in the squad from last season could move on and I would be pretty non plussed. As long as we have good replacements in mind and we receive acceptable offers then I would accept. It’s time to drain the swamp and look forward to a new exciting era.

Good in theory, but not so good in practice.

That apparently describes most of our players according to FoxesTalk. This suggests that if we don't change 75% of our squad , this is going to be a very tough season. And yet some still think we are going to march straight back to the PL.

I am sorry I have to disagree with this, so you are non plussed with Iheanacho? Barnes? not all the players downed tools..

Niot me , I’m not one of the ones having a romantic few of the championship thinking we’ will walk it a horrible league to get out of. We got relegated as we had too many averages players amongst other things . If we fall into the same trap and keep average players on with the attitude they’ll do a job then we’re in for a long championship stay

Absolutely and I think he’s a good player at the level we are now at 

[ARM1968]

Experience in the league. Physical. Ball winner. Might well be useful. Keep in my opinion.
