Ben Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Not sure about the finances due to covid but have we not just lost the £25 million from 19 home games ? TV money is still there, we don't spend daft amounts on wages, the government has paid for the staff and we don't get money off match day food ect anyway, £12million seems a bit low, is Ashley pocketing again ?

He's our best club asset - if PIF agreed to pay £300mil then surely they'll expect the best player as part of that deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaizero Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Ajer is class though, type of player I'd like to see us buy if we get taken over. Young-ish up and coming that can make us a great side without us "buying" a great side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at this point PIF won't really be in any position to dictate who is bought or sold, they'd need to have at least some confidence the takeover is going to be allowed, and at this stage it's very much up in the air at best.

thomas Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 ASM staying a dealbreaker for PIF . As good as he's been for us they'll still be aiming for better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 I hate Ashley, but he got market price or more for Sissoko and Gini. Gini was good but very inconsistent when we sold him. Did he ever score in an away game? Sissoko was a degree of revenge on Spurs for all of the good players they poached from us for buttons. Based on the prices of those two when we had just been relegated, ASM will not be given away. If he goes, we would likely hold out for decent money. Joelinton has proved money can be easily frittered away on prospects, and any big fee for ASM could easily be pissed away too. Some wheeler dealery speculation could be made about how to get Willock, e.g., selling Almiron, but with Covid-19 it's hard to know what money each club has to spend. This also assumes a sudden burst of ambition we have seen little of over 14 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally no one literally said all the literal words in literal order, sure. Can we use our two brain cells though and maybe conclude there was an implication in this post? 13 hours ago, duo said: He's our best club asset - if PIF agreed to pay £300mil then surely they'll expect the best player as part of that deal. fine, "dealbreaker" is a little hyperbolic on my part but the gist is still I think he's inconsequential to the sale. A non-factor. Edited May 24, 2021 by thomas Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest reefatoon Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Do a swap deal for Shelvey, Hayden, Hendrick, and the Longstaffs. If they don’t want to go for that, just melt them all down to glue and slap that in the middle of the field. Would be damn more effective. Fucking hell man, what an utter lifting bunch of midfielders we have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HaydnNUFC Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 Choudhury is just an ever so slightly more mobile version of Hayden isn't he? Think both he and Willock would compliment each other well. Signing only Choudhury though and not Willock is pointless. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A combination of Shelvey and Cattermole. Thick as mince, lazy as fuck and makes horrible tackles to show how he ‘gets stuck in’. Offers nothing from a footballing point of view. A signing like this would show we have zero ambition though and would be a good enough reason to not watch next year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abra Dubravka Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 (edited) Lads need their heads shaking if they are happy with us signing Hamza Choudhury. He’s a living example of why Leicester have gone from League 1 to overtaking us over night. Last few years they’ve just brought better midfielders, and kept him as back up. Lads been in first team for years now, he’s 23. Never shown any signs of making it at Leicester, why would we want anything to do with him? Even Leicester fans think he’s a bunch of toss. I’m sure if you go back 12 months you can find something said to the exact replica regarding us signing Hendrick.
