Normal deals are five years

4 years  does the opposite of help with psr

 

they probably wanted a release clause but  we don’t do those 

compromise was to say they’d only sign 4 years in that case 

(Assuming we’ve actually seriously spoken to the player’s agent )

 

 

 

Are you sure we don't do release clauses in contracts? 

Maybe 6/7 years ago we didn't but we don't hold as many cards now.

Of course I’m not sure 

but it wouldn’t surprise me - the kind of thing that vichai would have said after ngolo and no one has the balls to challenge it as being outdated

Ok. Just you said we don’t do them.

I mean, you might not have heard of him, that's a little bit different. 

 

As for Premier League striker, technically Neal Maupay is but we'd have more success sticking Danny Ward up front tbqh. 

I didn’t say we wouldn’t, and I’m not saying Ayew would be better but you can’t argue it is the general reaction from the football world.

TBF the premier league player was the free kick specialist Ayew.

So close mate, showed his class.

this is FT mate !
 

Anyway, we know that we didn’t do them and we’ve seen nothing over the years that makes us think that’s changed ……….. so until we see some evidence then it’s not unreasonable to assume we haven’t changed that approach ???

 

but yes, its obvs not definitive

You really need confirmation that somebody's statement on here is not definitive?

4 year deal apparently for the Moroccan Modric 

At this stage I think we are more likely to sign the actual Modric on a four year deal.

 4 year deal makes no sense for us - gives player too much strength in two/three years time 

 

 

 

 

Let’s just sign the guy first ffs 😂

[Lambert09]

i’m not actually sold on this one. It’s the type of signing we should be going for but just have a gut feeling that the prem won’t be a good fit for him.  Hope we do and im wrong but the premier league is the hardest league for an attacker in my opinion. It’s more physical you get less time on the ball than anywhere else and that’s why it’s so hard to sign these attacking flare players. 

 

Our old mate elyounoussy looked class for basel, it just doesn’t always translate

Terms agreed on this one? 
 

Just need to agree a fee?

Rudders is on this as a soon as he ties up the 3 year deals for both Peter Crouch and John Barnes. Here we go………

Fee has been agreed. 

 

Take this as non-definitive.  In fact, entirely made up.

Did it ever get started. Sounds like agents talking 

[foxfan92]

Everything is agreed.

 

All that we need to do now is wait until someone more appealing comes along and makes a bid and he goes there instead.

 

We're not allowed to complete the deal until this happens.

[marcymarc666]

Looking at the opposition he's played against, it's hard to judge, hope he can step up because it'll be a big step.

[DZ-LCFC]

LEICESTER HAVE MADE A BID

 

 

[DZ-LCFC]

Same source 

[FrankieADZ]

 

[kingpower]

Hope this one happens but we absolutely need to keep some money in the bank for an out and out striker or we are well and truly buggered 

[Dahnsouff]

Negotiations have started. Let’s make sure they don’t stop until he is landed!
