Who stays who goes (players)

[CrazyKopCorner]

Is it not more a question of who you’d want to keep and who will want to stay? In that case it’d be minimal - if none of them played for the club again I’d shed no tears (apart from Vardy of course) 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

I’m not so sure Fatawu gets sold. He’s looked good in the PL but will only have played a handful of games before getting a serious injury. Potential suitors may not want to pay what we’d want for someone with so few PL games under his belt.

One of the promoted teams might take a punt on him, and we'd likely have to accept it.

[Jock's Hill]

Fatawu needs time to recover from his ACL followed by lots of games before anyone would even think about making an offer.

Only definite leavers would come from the 3 put of contract - Vardy, Ward and Iversen.

However, it's also clear that Hermansen will be on his way as the summer big sale (Chelsea?).

We tried to clear players like Ndidi, Soumare, Souttar and Thomas last time we went down. This proved to be more difficult than we perhaps thought.

[VictorFox]

Think Bilal will stay personally 

[john ridley]

Not a case of who will want to stay ?but who'll have them .

Who on earth will pay Vesty Daka Winks etc what they earn here?

Maybe but wouldn’t surprise me if they did move on 

[Foxes_Ray La]

Would sell most of this lot, rotten to the core the lot of them.

 

Transfer window in the summer will be key, need to be looking at young talent from the lower leagues

 

Should be looking at players like Ethan Galbraith who me Orient pal Ray says is absolute mustard 

[Lad1966]

At the time, signing Daka and Sourmare, were considered quite a coup for Leicester, but in order to get them, we had to offer stupid wages. We took that gamble to compete for European places and these were young hungry players we scouted, just like Wesley F. Recruitment is hit and miss and this is prefect example how this could work both ways

Recruitment has mostly been miss and Daka and Soumare have never been convincing ..  wages are negotiated by Rudkin I believe and for that reason some players will sit tight knowing they won't get the same wage or anywhere near at another club .... the club needs to offload a good few players and a new director of football is a must for a change of direction for the future 

[MrsJohnMurphy]

90% of the Championship is gash Ayew, BDCR, Kristiansen, Skipp etc will be fine at that level

[TJB-fox]

Fatawu won’t go. 
 

if we get enough for Hermansen then we keep Bilal for one year in the hope we go straight back up

[J.Lisemore]

Still not over the decision to give Vestergaard 3 more years 

[LCFCJohn]

It does seem a moot topic really as like said, there will one of two or the few players we’d want keep who have to be sold so we can waste funds elsewhere and cry about PSR. 
 

Personally happy for Hermansen to go as Stolarcryk is waiting to take over. Would be good to keep BEK though.

 

Hopefuly Fatawu on account of his injury will stay and I’d like to keep Okoli around. Ndidi perhaps as well. Others like Souttar and Mavididi I’d happy keep. 
 

Problem will be not being able to shift a load that are a waste of wages. Looking at Vestergard, Coady, Winks and Skipp amongst others.

 

Ward as long as we don’t offer him a new contract (we probably will) out the door will be great. If we can offload Faes that’d be also fab.

You mean try to sell them

[Gubbins]

Nowhere near as certain as most of you that el khanouss gets sold. He's hardly set the league aflame with his performances and in fact I'd say the main reason he looks decent for us is because the rest of the team is so bloody atrocious. We'd certainly not get the 30+m that some suggest.

3 years left on his contract too.

[Vazman]

It will be interesting if/ when we go down who will stay / go, we def need to move a fair few on and look to the future we simply can't carry on with the underperforming players, on big wedge, keeping the bench warm:

 

We all know that those with long term contracts on good money ain't going nowhere, a couple of seasons in the Championship might be a necessity or the reality before we are fully ready for a reset, even then it may not happen if the board and scouting department remain in situ.

Yup, I agree. He a very talented player who puts in a high degree of effort. If he puts the ball in the back of the back of the net more, or actually inspired us to win a couple of games the he will be gone. It would be unfortunate if he went to a bigger club this season or next and just disappeared into the squad, he 100% needs regular game time.

None of those would get in the Leeds or Sunderland teams I’ve watched tonight

I guess we'll see, but I'd expect Ayew to get double figures in goals

[GingerrrFox]

There is no chance Bilal will be anywhere near the Championship next season. Anyone questioning that is completely deluding themselves.
