They still have enough good players at present (and good youth coming through) that if they are able to keep a decent number will out pass most teams in the division. Just depends how many times he asks them to pass continually across their own box until someone decides to press them and they concede (another) stupid goal and lose or draw games they’ve absolutely dominated…

Good appointment for them and decent opportunity for him.

If we are aiming for 60m then: Jander 25m plus (signed for over 10 plus length of contract) Scienza 25m plus (ditto) THB 25m ( we would want a profit) Charles 20m plus (2 years left) Ramsdale 15m -20m ( covers his amortisation, at the high end funds peretz) Sugawara 5m BBD 4m Fernandes 5m sell on Total sellable is around 120m, so if Dragan want to go for broke its probably 2 of Jander / Charles / THB / Scienza Plus the rest of that list to hit 70 -80m and have some to replace whoever leaves from the big 4. A third of the big 4 goes and we will probably use that to get a couple of big replacements. Might be naive, but given the noise I can't see all 4 being allowed to go this year, and if I was to guess I would say Jander and Charles go given the interest and numbers we would see for them.

Louis Munteanu who plays for MLS club DC United and is currently playing for Romania against Wales looks a real handful and a natural striker. Scored an absolute belter in the first half that has been wrongly ruled out for offside and had an excellent instinctive shot well saved by the the keeper. Only 23years old and would not cost a bundle.

Fair play. Hope he does well. No ill feelings. We’ve moved on.

Despite history and stuff, have to feel sorry for them. There's a couple of good posters on here from Leicester.

Hopefully he signs an equal or superior player than Larin to compete with him rather than a backup.

This. We beat them fair and square over two legs.

Whose side are you on?

In my ideal world... we would sell Ramsdale, Jander, BBD, Bazunu, Sugawara and Larios. Everyone else we should aim to retain (and extend as appropriate). I'm not sure these 6 would raise the £60m we are said to need... but maybe we'll make a pretty penny off of a potential Fernandes sale to help out, and if Dragan's really that serious he could inject another £10m to keep everyone together... a lot of what ifs. Could Edozie be worth selling too? I like the guy but he's inconsistent, although people are saying he'll need a run of games to show everyone what he's made of, can we afford to give him a unconditional run of games with the criticality of the season ahead? I don't want to say goodbye to Leo yet. THB and Charles will be Premier League ready and although we could make good money off of them, losing them would weaken us considerably (in Charles' case, losing him and Jander would be difficult). I think we could convince all of these to stay, I imagine they all loved it this season, though due to his contract ending in 2027 the ball isn't super in our court with Charles. I think THB should get the captain's armband if we keep him this summer, he's got a real energy about him that we'll need for our aggressive promotion push this year. We've got a lot of players from a bygone generation out of contract. Smallbone, Aribo, Taylor, McCarthy. Stewart is also one of this cohort, and my feeling is that he's just playing hardball with negotiations - makes no sense to be going to a World Cup as a free agent with his injury history. But if we lose him I'm not going to be too worried, I have faith in Spors to find a decent backup to Larin, our recruitment has come a long way since the days of signing Downs and Quarshie.

I’d take Fatawu in exchange for Bazunu and I would be prepared, in light of Leicester’s predicament to forego any money they would have to pay for Bazunu’s services that’s how I would play this situation!!

Yeah, he should have done much more in the 3 championship games he played in, at an average of 10 minutes per game...

And, and, and, and. But LCFC are broke so it'll have to be a swap deal. How many of their squad = 1 Bazunu?

Random bold prediction time. Japan will reach the final. Mark my words.

And an incredible young man

"Best keeper in the championship"

Jander would be top of my list to keep, maybe on a par with THB, Scienza close behind. However I also think Jander most likely to leave, to a decent German club i’d expect.

If that happens I think by far the most likely to leave will be Jander. Maybe Scienza too? We will need to sell two higher value assets either way.

Yup. That's the lot. The rest are given to him through an earpiece, while he focuses on not drooling.

Thanks for the info. Good to hear, even though he still probably will go if a good offer for all parties comes in, it’s nice to know he probably won’t be pushing for it

I agree, the only small hope I have is that I thought it looked like he worked a little harder defensively when Tonda used him towards the end… but he probably needs a fresh start somewhere else if he is to get more out of his potential.

I don’t know, but it’s not what I’ve read. I’ve read 15% of the fee. Percentage of the profit would, I agree, make more sense. But just going off of media reports which you have to take with a pinch of salt one way or the other.

It's 15% of the profit. Appreciate that the transfer fees are usually pretty opaque but if we got £38m and they sell for £80m. 15% of £42m would be £6.3m. Likelihood is they get c.£70m and we get c.£5m. Still a decent contribution to the pot.

Just been reading, reports reckon Harry Winks is on anything up to £90k a week and still has a year on his deal. Reckons Lolceister are staring at a £70m shortfall following relegation. What an absolute snakes and ladders of a time.

Happy to him to stay but only likely if he extends his contract.
