TRon Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I wonder if we'll let this one drag on until the end of the window if Leicester hold out for the full £60m? I suppose it depends if they can offload Fofana to Chelsea first, that would make selling Maddison an option rather than a necessity. From our POV I think we won't push that hard because it wasn't really a priority position anyway, just a chance to land a really top player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison has only 2 years on his contract. Cucurella has 4 years on his contract and also younger. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
1964 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Apparently Leicester don't sell once the season starts (according to their fans), if so it's not looking likely Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

prefabtoon Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 This transfer market reminds me when I was a kid. I Would really love that toy on the top shelf. But being told we cant afford it. Ah well hope Wilson can stay fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I'm sure most teams would like to have their business done before the season starts, but it doesn't always work like that. Fans can presume whatever they want, but it won't be written in stone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From our POV I think we won't push that hard because it wasn't really a priority position anyway, just a chance to land a really top player. We don’t have to sell either of them. The idea is to offload others, Choudhury, Mendy, Vestergaard, Praet, Soumare. Soyuncu or Tielemans seeing as they have one year left. Or even an Iheanacho, or Thomas. We have loads of assets we can get rid of if we really really had to. Many of them are likely to leave towards the end of the window on loan, or late sales. The chances of us not shifting some of them are remotely slim, and thus unless we get an offer we can’t refuse, or a players kicks off, those two are quite likely to stay. They are at the bottom of the list in terms of who we want to sell. So if people wonder why we aren’t falling over ourselves to accept £35-£45m. It’s because of that.

We don’t really need to outside of a right winger and maybe a keeper if Kasper goes. He was on over £120k a week and it frees up a fair chuck of wages.
