We should sell anyone who can earn us a fee.

Honestly couldn't care less about any first team player we have if we get a fee. Don't rate any of them.

1 million for Page is good work by this logic

He won't sign a new deal here and rightly so tbh. So it's either sell him now or he walks next summer and we all complain about Rudkin not learning any lessons.

Don't think we have a choice.

 

Any bid made for any player, that is deemed acceptable, will be.

Would be an extremely tough choice for the lad tbf.

 

Playing in Serie A and living in Turin or the more appealing option of playing in League 1 living in glorious Leicester...

You’d think if the appetite was there from both club and player to extend his stay with us, it wouldn’t have reached the entering final year of contract stage.

 

Then it’s a case of thinking what is more likely

 

1. The club thinks he is not good enough for our immediately future as a League 1 side. It’s not like he is going to be a higher earner that we cannot afford to retain. As a younger player as well, there’d be more benefit to having him sign a longer contract even if to sell him.

 

or 

 

2. Young player who despite some rocky performances last season, is still going to be seen as a prospect within footballing circles, wants to get away from what is a toxic situation at this club, where it isn’t valued and have a fresh start.

 

Without actually knowing, the educated guess would go to 2, the lack of new contract being on the players end here.

[GLC]

Apparently he had a contract offer on the table in March, but wanted to see how the season ended before committing. 
Judging by the fact he hasn’t signed it yet, says he wants to leave. 

[Richmondfox]

Sadly he turned into Vestergaard junior when he became the main CB.  He looked good when he was playing next to JV and doing the basics well while the clowns to the side and in front passed around for no reason.

Seems coincidental that Torino have shown an interest in both Okoli and Nelson

 

I think you would be more likely to see Okoli go there than Nelson, but Nelson's agent is playing it clever to draw up interest in his client when he knows Leicester need to sell.

I expect we could get more than that, but the point is everyone is for sale, especially with 1 year left on their contract.

Yeah but you said we should sell anyone we can get a fee for

I wouldnt no 😂. But ive not seen it reported anywhere that we’ve offered a contract or hes told the club he wants out

[Clever Fox]

He'd be a revelation in the Italian league as the pace is so much slower than the Prem or even the Championship.

 

I'd like to keep him but with only a year left on his Contract it's likely he'll move on.

Take any decent offer ! Wasn’t overly impressed by him.

Torino and making a decent offer don't fit in the same sentence.

Find it weird we've got him front and centre of the kit campaign if we expect him to be off

Don't think we expect him to go anywhere tbh. Thing is he hasn't signed an extension. So IF IF a decent offer comes in, we will take it.

[Grebfromgrebland]

I guess him staying may depend on us getting others out of the door. Pretty sure Martin would like to keep him.

Unless we are going to sign 2 or 3 experienced leaders then I’m afraid Nelson needs to stay IMO.

Unfortunately we can't continue letting players leave for free at the end of their contracts.

 

I can't see him signing a new one so he's probably going to be sold.

They’ve probably seen our advert.

I’d say we absolutely expect him to leave. Along with Monga and Fatawu, he is the most obvious sale.
