Worrying that similar with Burnley, we could be strengthening Leicester.

 

 

They should sell quick.

FoxesTalk is delicious. They’re furious.

 

We’re a nothing club, low balling them, it’s shit up North, they’ll finish above us, shit club with shit fans etc.

 

 Inject it into my veins. Wish I could use their tears as lube.

Someone remind them they only finished 3 points ahead of us last season despite us not winning for first 14 games. It’s just post after post about how he’d never come here as we aren’t good enough. They need a reality check. The gap has already shortened

Don’t want to come across as a PFM here. But I really like that our transfer strategy seems to be that we’re bringing in (or trying to) good young English players as well as the likes of Botman, Bruno etc.

 

I think there’s a lot to be said for having a strong English/British cohort that understand the club/history/fans mixed alongside the ‘foreigners’. It just seems very different to the way City, Chelsea et al have done it for the last decade +

So fair to say the bid is £50M based on all the reports, Hope is the only one saying not as much as £45M.

 

That would take us to £107M for the window, subbing Targett's loan fee from his total.

Sounds like he's laying the foundations for him to leave.  Certainly doesn't seem to want to let Fofana go.

Absolutely no beef with Leicester at all tbh. Was rooting for them when they won the League as 5000/1 outsiders and it must have been unbelievable. To follow it up with a decent run in Europe and an FA Cup a few years later is also unheard of here. Well run club, liked the owners and they way the players responded after the helicopter crash was very dignified and classy.

I can’t believe people are still seriously talking about Pacqueta which is nothing other than a rumour they’ve made up themselves on here.

 

May as well be asking if we’d prefer Maddison or De Bruyne.

I can’t believe people are still putting a ‘c’ in Paqueta 

[Disco]

Fofana hasn’t played for about a year, they’re surely thinking he could be worth even more if he has another good season. Was cracking before he was knackered.

Pretty much all of this. They’re a fantastically well ran club and have done it the hard way.

Contracted until 2027, too, which is a massive factor.

C-ing is believing

If we signed Maddison for 50m, would you let Willock go if say a Brighton or a Palace came in for 15/20m?

 

I'm not saying we would need to, I'm just throwing it out there.

[timeEd32]

Lots of reasons why Maddison is the more obvious sell here. This is very clearly on, which I was having a hard time believing 24 hours ago. I don't think we're going to let it die over £5-10m.

[Deuce]

Interesting that they’ve made no signings this summer. And outgoings haven’t generated any cash.

[gbandit]

Personally really like Willock and think there’s another level to his game so I wouldn’t want to let him go, especially when we’ve got much weaker players in Fraser and Murphy still in the squad

Nah. He has his part to play this season.

[STM]

BTW, Rodgers comments aren't suggestive of a manager who is in sync with his superiors. It has all the makings of a manager on the brink.

Depends on what we do with Anderson. I think we would be heavily stacked if he stayed with 7 central midfielders but we are going to need a strong bench this season

Without needing to, why would we? Especially at a loss. Doubt he’ll be on massive wages and he offers lots more than several others.

[LFEE]

Why don’t we sign Aouar instead? ?

Its important to get maddison over the line before Fofana I feel. Loosing out on maddison because someone else bought an other player from them would be painfull.
