Leicester_Loyal Posted 15 April 2024 Posted 15 April 2024 Price should have been 40-50m but they saw that suit last night. 1
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 15 April 2024 Posted 15 April 2024 Sounds about right, Maddison gets his drinking buddy back! 1

Their source for the story is Football Insider, which is a crap source. That said, if we don't go up he'll obviously be off somewhere, and Spurs seem as likely as anybody else to come in for him. I suspect he'll stay if we go up.
MPH Posted 15 April 2024 Posted 15 April 2024 40m for a player who isn’t England quality is quite a price… 3

If we go up, the pressure on us to sell players will diminish significantly. However if somebody offers £40m+ I can see the club being tempted. 1

I doubt we get 40 mil for KDH, but in the 30's takes the the pressure off a little and allows us to rebuild in the following financial period. 3

That seems to be the received wisdom, but I'm not so sure. If we go up we're highly unlikely to receive a points deduction for any breach this season, and the club may decide that the benefit of keeping KDH might outweigh the negative impact of any fine we'll receive. 1

Suppose we will see. We will be nailed on for points deductions next season, and as the FFP period is rolling 3 years we will have to be seen as cutting our cloth and trying to comply in the next period. Selling the academy asset is the perfect way of doing it as anything you buy can be amortised over contract length. Like it or not, this is the model we have to revert back to and we don't have many academy assets to sell right now.
Leicesterpool Posted 15 April 2024 Posted 15 April 2024 He'll go Villa I think a bit like Tielemans, but only if we don't go up.

Like it or not, this is the model we have to revert back to and we don't have many academy assets to sell right now. Yes, we will have a points deduction next season if we go up. Probably four points like Forest, possibly less. We won't get a points deduction next season for the 2020-23 breach if we stay down. My understanding is that if we breach this year, the EFL won't be able to impose a points deduction on us while we're in the PL. No club who has breached while in the EFL has been given a points deduction after being promoted. Obviously if we breach this season and stay down, the EFL will likely go after us. In that scenario, a rapid firesale of assets, including KDH, is highly likely. There is no 'next period' for FFP in the PL because it is being replaced by a different system. The new system will of course require us to cut our cloth in some way, but it's not yet clear whether that will mean we have to sell KDH this summer or not. We might do, of course, but I'm not sure it's as certain as many people believe. 1
Ric Flair Posted 15 April 2024 Posted 15 April 2024 Anything over £25m is still a very good deal for us. If we can get more than that despite our predicament then I'll actually give our board some praise for the outcome. 2

I agree, everyone knows we will be forced to sell. £25+ add ons probably sees us sells pre July

I like the idea of replacing him with someone like Gabriel Sara or Matt O'Reilly both whom would come in slightly less than him but maybe we don't even have that luxury and must recruit at a much lower value and exploit some different markets.

Love Sara, been keeping an eye on Nanasi who continues to develop. I wonder about Bernabe too but Parma seem set to get promoted. 1
orangecity23 Posted 15 April 2024 Posted 15 April 2024 (edited) With Ndidi and Praet out of contract as well, if kdh goes we are looking at needing to get 3 new centre mids in at a minimum. That money won't stretch so far when there's that many signings needed unless we get some bosmans in. Of course, if we stay down we will need 3 new centre mids but have a transfer embargo as well, so we will be extra stuffed Edited 15 April 2024 by orangecity23 1
Stadt Posted 15 April 2024 Posted 15 April 2024 (edited) We're in the market for a replacement who is probably 70% as good (at best) with less than half the fee received to spend. Another financial shot in the foot that was entirely avoidable. Edited 15 April 2024 by Stadt

Spare a thought for Brentford... allegedly turned down a 70 million offer for Ivan Toney last summer and might be selling for 40 million this summer 1
