Fantail Breeze Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 This deal is a dead duck if Fofana moves, which makes it even more vital if we hold a genuine interest that we move quickly and get the deal done. Chelsea will pay what is required for Fofana, we need to sort this move out before they do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Collage Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Imagine Maddison instead of Willock or Miggy in yesterday’s team. Decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was, until the Saudi’s acted on the piracy… the known stumbling block throughout the whole saga. But without getting into that there is absolutely no way Leicester sell Fofana and Maddison.

I don’t know what you’re talking about. I said “dead duck”, I think you’ve made that bit up yourself. If you need some help, the definition of dead duck is “a person or thing that is defunct or has no chance of success.” The Maddison deal would have no chance of success if Fofana is sold.

Well you say that the Maddison has no chance but you dont know really, it’s just your opinion, which has been wrong in the past as we do know.

Sorry that I don’t have a 100% success rate with my opinions as a football supporter. Look forward to you listing someone who does. My opinion on Maddison, supported/guided by nearly every journalist reporting on the story as well as most Leicester fans, seems a sound opinion. Not many teams will sell their best two players unnecessarily with little time to replace them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest reefatoon Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Come on Fantail man, it’s been a great weekend of football, everyone is buzzing, you don’t need to come in and constantly squabble with people all the time. As soon as you appear the mood just changes in each thread. Take a rest and just be jolly for a bit, it’ll do you wonders. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

manorpark Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, Kanji said: Which is so factually incorrect. There have been other owners since City who have gone absolutely bananas in the transfer market — Everton! Well aware of that, but the "big two" sugar-daddy clubs are Chelsea and Man City. Everton and some others are far more "low-profile", and are not in the same bracket as those two (and now us) for sheer wealth.

Happinesstan Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 wasn't Jack Walker the OG SD? Admittedly his £300 million wouldn't buy a defence, these days. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 I just saw him at Central Station where he bought a day saver for the Metro. He told me was going to have a few rides around to make his mind up. I wished him well and told him that he might need a bus replacement service between South Gosforth and Gatehead, but not to let that affect his decision.

Not quite, it’s a bit of a myth that he - and for us SJH - bankrolled our respective clubs. He put a lot of his own money into buying the club (Walker) and infrastructure, but once Blackburn were promoted, the money rolled in which helped finance them and indeed ourselves. People at the time thought SJH himself actually paid for Shearer and it’s another myth we spent our way to the top, I think Derby and West Ham for example spent more than us in the old second division when we got promoted and we were being outspent by the likes of Man Utd, Arsenal, Liverpool et al once we were in the PL.

Nucasol Posted August 7, 2022 Share Posted August 7, 2022 Would be massively surprised if Maddison comes now Chelsea Todd is about to fill Leicester’s FFP hole with his giant Fofana-shaped wedge of cash. Think Leicester may be in for a heavy transition season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's quite a myth, just the term has evolved over the years. He signed Dalglish and Shearer before the money was rolling in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
