My guess is that Fofana stays at Leicester this window but remains unsettled and loses some form as a result. Then Leicester will probably regret not selling him for this large amount as they probably won't do any better.

Frustratingly when either Gerrard or Lampard are one of the first to be bombed, Rodgers will no doubt pop up at either Villa or Everton, so i doubt very much he'll even be at Leicester for much longer.

Apparently we want to let go Chalobah and sign Fofana. 

I imagine if Fofana had put a TR in Leicester wouldn't exactly reveal it. They would be looking for another player and lining them up. Thus keeping the cost down as the selling team don't know for sure Fofana is keen to leave. 

The club need to get a move on this deal if it’s going to happen. Leicester need to buy someone else so if can’t drag on. 

With each day goes by, I take it no news as good news. We aren't paying over the odds for him this summer, let's hope this is just a decoy and we are working on an alternative

Matt Law said Leicester is in financial trouble and they would have half of the money to use from transfers they generate. So if we strike a deal for 80m they would use 40m of it. This is why it could be really hard to succeed in this deal. He also thinks we haven't bid for 70 or 80, more like 50-60m...remains to be seen.

Sounds like we could pay them 40m + Chalobah, all happy?

On loan. Chalonah on loan and 60

I'd take that deal if we had kept Colwill. But as it is, we'd have to get another CB in as cover and he'd probably cost 20 million or more, so not sure if it's worth it.

Still got Ampadu at the club, and push comes to shove that big Dutch lad in the development squad could make up the numbers ... 

Or offer cash plus Ampadu instead of Trev ?

Fair deal but they won't be happy to not have a long term solution.

Chalobah and Ampadu on loan but option to buy for Ampadu 

i don't want to sell Chalobah

Is he good enough to be trusted? Also didn't he play as a midfielder primarily last season?

I don't know how Mbuyamba's developement is going as I don't really follow the U23's, but he was on the bench for their last game and last season when TT called on some young players in the early rounds of the cup, he wasn't among them, so I don't think he's a serious option.

I would keep Chalobah if it was up to me 🙂

Confirmed now. He alluded to doing so in his press conference as Fofanas head is not right for the game.

you can't see it in the preview but he reacted to this tweet with 😂😂🤦‍♂️

the tweet says that Fofana himself asked to be left out of the squad. While it's probably a decision made by Leicester because they are close to selling him.

Laughing that LCFC are saying he is the one that wanted to sit out of the game while it was their decision because he is leaving.

Odd they would sell him so he can make his debut against them.

Best case I thought we pay 82mill for him and get him August 31st.

I know football is mental and at times we are top of the list but am I the only one who feels

80m+ is a huge amount of money for this guy ?

if Morgan Gibbs-White is 44 million and Casemiro is 60 million 

80 million for the best young defender in world football is a steal
