That’s all you can ask, I’m sure most of us understand the realities of the football food chain, I don’t begrudge anyone wanting to move up the chain. But go about it the right way. We’ll have paid the lad over £5m when out injured, you’d expect a bit of humility or compromise on his part to make it happen. And not just put the onus on the two clubs to either accept less or pay more.

I’ve got pictures of me in a West Ham shirt, I’ve had no liking for West Ham ever.

Amazing how upset these player get with clubs asking for a certain fee and blaming them for somehow ruining a dream… and yet they won’t put in a transfer request and lose their “loyalty” bonus, or reduce their wage demands to make a transfer happen.

Shall I put the pics up of him in an Arsenal shirt?

If you believe that you’ll believe anything.

Can we reject it, yes very easily. If the add ons are easily achievable or it’s mostly up front then you might stand a chance to get it accepted and we get rid of the poisonous player. The second point, total nonsense. A warning though, when he comes in and plays well and another team wants him, like Madrid or Barca, or you aren’t doing well, maybe some others… he will do the same to you.

what are you on about 🤣

Kante had a buyout clause otherwise you’d have to have paid £60m+. We have something to do with the Maguire fee, and that’s set a bench mark. Pay up, or piss off.

Not necessarily a record, I think everyone wants it over. The club are convinced this lad was going to be worth £100m+ after this season and this they are massively reluctant to let go for anything not close to the Maguire fee, who played like a chump compared to this lad.

And here is the problem, we think otherwise because we’ve seen how good he is. So you can think nobody will all you want, and when he’s valued at £100m+ you can kick yourselves you didn’t go the extra mile.

I don’t want to say it, I’ve stayed patient for so long. But the negativity around the club this summer is all on him and it’s the straw that broke the camels back.

Don’t talk wet.

Not for Leicester, so move on and stop trying to destabilise players that clubs don’t want to sell.

Rodgers is a f***** idiot and about 95% of fans want him gone, and that’s not reactionary. He got presented a very decent squad and was given a good sum of money. He’s managed to just get everyone injured, bought mostly rubbish and managed to utterly demoralise everyone. All he ever does and says is what’s good for Rodgers. Nothing is ever his fault, despite the fact he can’t seem to solve basic issues, makes woeful subs and tactical decisions. His negatively from about 8 months in the job onwards has rubbed off on everyone and I think the players and fans alike have had enough of him. This squad is proven good enough to finish 5th, 5th and 8th, oh and win an FA Cup. We should have done more than that as well, it’s in him we blew up twice despite being massively clear of everyone else. As a manager he has a time limit at a club and he’s passed it again here.

No it is your concern, because we aren’t going to accept your bid.

£70m is a fair price for who? You or Leicester. Because it’s not a fair price for us this late on the window and certainly not when £10m worth isn’t going to be achieved. We paid £35m - 20% of profit to St Etienne - “Loyalty Bonus” = about £15m profit on player If we go and try get a replacement, we’ll have to pay through the nose now. So I doubt we’d even have enough money to get a replacement CB and a decent winger with so little time left.

If Kante was so good, when did he end up at Leicester. You being the only one making a bid, doesn’t mean others don’t recognise his talent. Did you actually bother to watch him for us? We finished 5th, with a makeshift back line because of injuries and Fofana came straight in and from game 1 held the defense together singlehanded. He came back from injury last season and started doing the same, despite being out for so long. This isn’t some lad who hasn’t played.

He can go mad all he wants. £60m, with a load of unlikely add ons will be seen as a p*** take for a player we paid £35m for and will lose 20% of any profit on to St Etienne. We paid that amount after about 20 starts in France because we thought he was that big a talent.

And? Neither were anywhere nearly as talented as Fofana. Presumably you would turn down £85m and £35m (not £50m) and say don’t be silly chaps.

And if people question why he’s valued so highly, sometimes a player comes along who just stands head and shoulders above the rest and it’s pretty obvious very quickly how good they are. Kante was one, Fofana is another.

No, we don’t want to sell. But we’ll sell for an offer we deem acceptable and the longer this goes on and the closer to the deadline this gets the more we’ll want.

I know, just informing you what he’s said.

Rodgers just said he’s not for sale.

Is that a joke? Why on earth would we need them? The only possible one from that list we’d be interested in Colwill and it wouldn’t be a loan.

They are UEFA FFP regulations and not premier league regulations. We aren’t in Europe, so it’s entirely meaningless at the moment. Obviously we have designs on European football, but we don’t have to worry about complying now.
