coolhandfox Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 (edited) I just don't see 30m being enough for us to blink. The number 8 role is massive in the system, no KDH, Wilf injured, Casadi recalled, Praet leaving. We would need 3 in, can't see it. Edited 26 January 2024 by coolhandfox 2

He's playing the best football of his career under Maresca, a guaranteed starter in a team looking likely to be in the PL next year; and i can't see it being a massive pay rise to move to brighton, there doesn't seem to be an obvious indicator that he's looking to bail so close to being back at the top level. Why is it out of character or unlikely? Surely he’d have been happy to leave in the summer if a nice offer came in, he’s not going to be a martyr for Leicester City Football Club.

Paninistickers Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 Just now, Rigga said: We are no more convincing than Burnley were last season… they are going down..as we would 100% if we fielded the same starting 11 in the PL We are miles and miles ahead of Burnley. They haven't got a player who'd make our team. This story has Wilf to forest story all over it. If it don't make sense it don't make sense..This deal would be lunacy of the highest order. If we really needed the cash, we'd be better offer touting Wout Faes out 2

Collymore Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 (edited) Look at how much the Brighton fans are salivating over this, especially at £30m. We need to keep hold or up the price significantly. https://www.northstandchat.com/threads/kiernan-dewsbury-hall.406054/ Edited 26 January 2024 by Collymore
Kierzz Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 Maybe just sell winks as well and with Ndidi out of contract in the summer we will truly hit the self destruct button... 1

Marshall Cockney Fox Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 It's simple mathematics. 30 mil now jeopardises the 100+ mil promotion brings. And you still have the asset to sell down the line. Only silly money would convince a sale now. And 30 mil isn't silly enough - by half!!! 1
Lineker's Left Foot Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 IF this does happen hope we purchase O’Hare just to annoy those cat binning deluded inbreds 1

LVFox Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 Similarly to us not wanting to sell, I find it difficult to think Brighton will drop 30m on a 25 year old, when their model is built around spending 10-20 on players aged 19 to 23. Something just not right at all about it. It's either agent bullshit, us wanting to create a market for him, or us wanting enzo to shut up about wanting more money and threatening to sell his best player to do so.

SecretPro Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 If there is an ounce of truth in this then there is seriously something wrong with this club and Top needs to sell up. 1

I would say that we (the club - not sure on Enzo) probably do want to sell for whatever reason.
Gav_LCFC14 Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 I would love to believe this is all rubbish paper talk. But with Rudkin in charge, the clown show could be return at any moment.

Dahnsouff Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 Weird one. The sale probably safeguards us from sanction if we get promoted, but if he goes…..
Ginger_Filbert Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 I find it infuriating that we’re even talking to any other club about losing our best player in January. People can defend Rudkin all they like but he runs the club and it’s bad decision after bad decision. He’s got to go. 1 1
Tielemans63 Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 Bit worrying that it's such a low-ball offer. Other clubs aware that we're a bit ****ed financially? Vultures starting to circle?
MPH Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 Do we need to have a whip round for the club or something?
Ric Flair Posted 26 January 2024 Posted 26 January 2024 It was reported in the Italian press that Sensi was happening because we'd reluctantly agreed to sell someone. This is astonishing if it happens. I'm not sure £30m is a travesty in his true worth in regards to his ability but he's pretty much not for sale at any price with less than a week to go and absolutely integral to us getting promoted at the 1st attempt and preventing financial ruin. However, the last part of that paragraph is rumoured to be the issue. We've somehow fcuked ourselves financially again. If we are demanding £30m, I dread to think how desperate we are and how much we'd actually have available. We already need 2 new central midfielders, 3 if KDH goes. If we could get O'Hare for £5m and Sensi for £2m, that's a start but I'd need Nanasi or Gronbaek an'all. 3

I can see it being really appealing in the summer, he won't be a star player next year (in my opinion), and the instant FFP boost and release of funds to bring 3 or 4 in would be a smart financial decision. Not now, not with 5 days left of the window, not when we are already short in his position.
