My word...it seems like they can't get any money for half the players. They pay too much and then when a good offer comes in...we reject it.

[Marshall Cockney Fox]

If they would pay 8 mil up front. Hard to say no. 

[Iwebema]

If they come back with 10m rising to 15, you just have to take that. 

 

He will be useful in the championship next year, but I just don't see a top level player there at all.

[James_lcfc]

I refuse to accept this is true.

 

Can't be.

[AKCJ]

That is a staggering amount of money to turn down.

[LFEFox23]

Jesus.

 

Take it and RUN!

[dmayne7]

. Never seen a player look so out of his depth at PL level and we turn it down

[K789]

Get. Rid.

[Mark]

'Leicester search for a replacement' we've had all month to find a winger

 

The replacement is already there in Monga anyway, upgraded and made a profit.

[AjcW]

So we've allegedly received money equating to almost £20m for Thomas and Kasey and we've rejected both? 

[DezFox]

If we reject anything about 4 million we are literally mental. 

[Levi Port]

I’ve had enough of this I’m ****ing done for a while 

[Simonb]

Literally did very little in the championship and offers nothing in the EPL. 

 

If we're turning down 8m plus for him we must already know what punishment is coming in the summer and be desperately holding on to who will still be here after the summer 

[Happy Fox]

I think the loan with obligation to buy is what we rebuffed not necessarily the payment structure, if Sunderland offer £5m upfront we accept that surely? But this is KPFC 

[SemperEadem]

Stating the obvious but ****ing nora there is too much money in British football.

[The Doctor]

rejecting £8m pure profit on a championship standard player 

[surrifox]

WTAF is the business model at this clown shoe club? We’ll be in League 1 in 2 years with these retarded calls being made 

[Ghanaian Prince]

This makes no sense.

He turns 24 this year and has shown no sign of being anywhere near the level in the PL and i'm not even sure he is good enough in the Championship.

[HitchinFox]

WITAF? 

£10m+ and we've rejected it? For McAteer? 

 

[Muzzy_no7]

No way. I won’t believe the club have turned down in excess of 12-15m combined for McAthomas and Luke himself.

 

Honestly I’m close to being done with this absolute pits. 

[Ric Flair]

Cannot believe we've rejected that. Whilst it might leave us short, everyone keeps talking about the long term future of this club as a reason for them not spending this month. Get him gone.

[EnderbyFox]

We could've got 15m+ for Luke Thomas & McAteer, two mid table championship players. Both turned down 

 

And we wonder why we are in a mess.

Just now, Happy Fox said:

Exactly. And the obligation is probably dependant upon them getting promotion. If they don't we're not really gaining anything from the deal.

[Bezzanator89]

This is an absolute no-brainer. Sell, sell, sell. Then buy-no-one to replace him. That's the Rudkin way.
