They won’t sell both. We need to offer a monster fee and we need a transfer request. Couple of reports today that Leicester are trying to tie Maddison down to a new contract which would hopefully dispel such an issue. I still think Fofana is going to be incredibly difficult, and like you said, I think it will hinge on just how much he pushes for this himself.

King Kante 1,643 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Going to be a fire sale surely with our excess players. By my count, we have the following that are knocking around the first team that need to go: Kepa Baba Sarr Alonso Emerson Barkley RLC Ziyech That is before you get to the likes of Pulisic and Werner who you have to believe want to leave.

Think what he means is that yes, some players will leave (I’m guessing Tielemans?) but that his very best players he wants to keep at all costs. So now we wait to see if the club hierarchy can turn down gigantic money with the financial trouble they’re apparently in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maravel21 36 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) The difficult is to persuade Leicester to sell .If fofana send transfer request and Leicester don’t want to sell then nothing will happen . He removed from his bio Leicester on Twitter ,he wants to come but you need only a big bid . Ronaldo wants to leave but for Manchester United is not for sale .. it’s up to Leicester and only Edited August 5, 2022 by Maravel21 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add Batsman, Kenedy, Ampadu and Gilmour. A lot of work to do, but it will be a nice meal at the end of the day bigbluewillie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lluubbeenn 185 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Based on last seasons formation that is what we have. And the players who may or may not be in the first team: ZAPHOD2319 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nero 1,877 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) 170 million spent so far and Todd still want Fofana, De Jong and maybe a striker (Aubameyang?) Now THAT'S an exclamation mark.

King Kante 1,643 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Another thing I have been thinking about is how much was Cucurella wanted last season by TT? Was he a club deal, that then got scrapped but TT kept an eye on him last season, or was he a player TT wanted but it got veto/abandoned because of Granny/the Board? I would be interested to find out. If he was a player TT wanted and told them to get and they ignored/refused then you can see why they got swept out asap.

I doubt we would be paying anywhere near what we are paying now. And Lukaku would still be here. Edited August 5, 2022 by manpe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDA 9,985 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) Arry Redknapp is alright. Proper old school plus if it wasn't for him, we may never had seen Frank bless us with soo many good moments.

Vesper 30,297 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 PianetAzzurro writes that the Serie A side don’t want to grant Kepa control over his ‘image rights’. So with the Blues and the goalkeeper both ‘annoyed’ at waiting for the club to meet their demands, it’s ‘most likely the deal will be wrecked’. That’s why Napoli are now said to be going for alternatives, such as Keylor Navas or Salvatore Sirigu. What had seemed to be a simple chase is now turning into a soap opera, just like has been happening with other players who’ve been on the verge of leaving Chelsea this summer, and players connected with Napoli too for that matter.

ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Your man phillips says we've bid 70 mill for fofana now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ulsterchelsea 3,221 Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Bid now in, as per @JacobsBen - £70m, as expected. I’m told talks have intensified today and Chelsea are confident this bid will be accepted. If not, they’ll keep going. Ampadu to Leicester has been mentioned to me, but nothing advancing yet.
