PieFacE Posted July 2, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 2, 2021 Yeah Leicester have been doing amazing work for years now. Definitely a club we should aspire to be given where they were 6-8 years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 17 mill + addons no doubt so not really just 17 mill. Seems only a Villa thing that when we buy someone it has to be reported as Fee and addons added together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a very decent price for him and allows him time to settle in before Ndidi probably gets sold next summer for £50-60m. This is what Leicester are great at, getting very good young players in as cover and blooding them so that they have a ready made replacement good to go when they sell the current first team player for big money. Continously growing the club in a settled Manor and increasing their turnover to try and compete with the financial advantage the 'big six' have.

Soumare isn't a DMC he's more comparable to Tielemans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tielemans is good but no way goes 60 million. Whats the record transfer fee for a centre midfielder? Not that he will go for less but teams wont pay it Edited July 3, 2021 by Zatman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they got 40 or 50m for him it's still a good business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 (edited) Looks like Fofana got his leg broken following a disgusting challenge from a Villarreal player. Awful. Massive talent. Edited August 4, 2021 by The_Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Jesus thats terrible, Fofana is such a class player too with the potential to be world class. Hope for his sake he makes a full recovery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cizzler Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 In a friendly too - what on earth was he thinking sliding in like that. Fofana was set for a great season too, real shame. Leicester in a bit of trouble at CB now, with Evans injured at the moment as well. Stark reminder we need to bring in a fourth CB before the window closes. Can't even think who we'd play there if we lost Mings and Konsa. Hause and Targett, with Young at LB? Bogarde? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeilS Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 Such a shame for the young lad, and a very bad tackle to be on the recieving end of in a friendly match. He looked a great buy last season and would have been looking to build on that impressive season. Hopefully he will have a speedy recovery. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brumstopdogs Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Sounds like the proposal to increase the stadium to 40,000 - fair play have to say the plans look quite impressive. Of all the Midlands club they are the one who look like they really mean business and the one we'll have to surpass in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live in Leicester (yes I have my Villa scarf today :D) The feeling is "its gone a bit stale", also Leicester fans know the second a decent job comes along he will be off in a heartbeat. Fans openly revolting against his starting lineup (no Perez, Iheanacho). Seems a matter of time, although what manager will Leicester attract better than Rodgers? Be careful what you wish for!
