“Players whose contracts expire in Summer 2023;
Youri Tielemans, Caglar Soyuncu, Daniel Amartey, Ayoze Perez, Jamie Vardy, Kasper Schmeichel, Nampalys Mendy, Ryan Bertrand, Hamza Choudhury and Jonny Evans (10 players).

Players whose contracts expire in Summer 2024;
Wilfred Ndidi, James Maddison, Kelechi Iheanacho, Yannik Vestergaard, Dennis Praet, Like Thomas and Marc Albrighton (7 players).

That's 17 first team players who have less than 24 months left on their contracts here at Leicester. Less time than a normal phone contract ffs.

How have we positioned ourselves this badly and have left us with such little room for manoeuvre when we look to sell our better players? We're coming out of a golden era of Leicester talent in the likes of Soyuncu, Tielemans, Maddison, Ndidi and Iheanacho. Likely worth in excess of £250m if under contract that will either leave for free of for pittance. All at the perfect age and stage in their development to play UCL football for the world's biggest clubs and we're going to piss their fee up the wall.

The only players we have 'tied up' are;
Harvey Barnes, Danny Ward and Tim Castagne (Until 2025)
Bouba Soumare, James Justin, Ricardo Pereira and Patson Daka (Until 2026)
Wes Fofana and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Until 2027)

Players like Maddison and Ndidi need to be paid properly and need to be tied up so that we can guarantee a proper fee for when clubs come knocking. Reports of £25m for a player like Tielemans just shows how much we're ****ing ourselves over. He's a player that came for £32m and then improved further here ffs.

Our inability to move deadwood on has been laughable. Hamza, Perez, Mendy, Praet and Amartey should all have left years ago. Liverpool routinely get £10-20m for players that are surplus to demands there. Obviously these players aren't as good as Liverpool's reserves but we should be getting £30m+ for these sorts of players, instead we're probably going to get nothing and will spend the time waiting for their contracts to expire with them out on loan with us still paying a portion of their wage.

The big reset we're supposed to have been having has obviously stalled and that's because we've got a bloated squad of players on expiring contracts and nobody wants them.”

Just goes to show how problematic getting rid of ‘deadwood’ is.

It’s there in all the forums I browse — and even worse on social media. The nonchalant idea that players have no say in where they play and that they’ll move to lesser clubs, taking pay cuts just to please forum fans. And it’s further exacerbated by the differential between EPL revenue and other European leagues, worsened by pandemic financials.

Yes, but the Napkin Incident (like some bad C-movie) was 2019 when Paratici was at Juve.

SMS is almost ideal for the Conte "Barella" role. The problem is the competition from other top clubs if SMS is available, and the risk of getting gazzumped as with the scousers & Luis Diaz once we establish the price & try to finalise any deal.

----------------------

Indeed, on another side of the paper were the names Miralem Pjanic and Sergej Milinkovic-Savic, generating speculation of a plan to sign the Lazio star tin exchange for the former Roma man.

Honestly, I would prefer Barella for the ‘Barella’ role.

Is this your comment or an ITK maybe statement? On SC they think this is ITK while I read it as a throw away comment criticising Hitchen.

Latin?

Translated

The pain itself is the love of the pain, the main ecological problems, but I give this kind of time to fall down, so that some great pain and pain. For the purpose of coming to a minimum, who of ours should exercise any employment except to take advantage of the consequences from it. But the pain in the film is irure to condemn, in the pleasure it wants to escape from the pain of being clum in pain, none result. Those who crave blacks are the exception, they do not see, they are at fault for those who abandon their responsibilities, that is the hardship that softens their minds

That should keep the traffic and posts going for a while before they switch the servers off and then claim poverty and need money.

Has there been a credible SMS link all summer? Would be exciting but I've seen nothing to indicate it.

Credible? No. SC? Yes.

More seriously, if woolwich, the chavs & the geordies are in for him, at the very least Paratici & Conte are monitoring the situation.

-----------------------------------

Woolwich have reportedly seen a €50million (£42.3m) bid for Sergej Milinkovic-Savic rejected by Lazio.

That's according to a new report from Calciomercato, who claim that the Serbian midfield star is being tracked by a host of Premier League sides. Chelsea and Newcastle are also admirers of the 27-year-old, but it's Woolwich who have firmed up their interest with a concrete bid.

However, the Gunners offering is a long way off Lazio's valuation of Milinkovic-Savic, which is around €70m. Woolwich's bid was 'not even considered' by the Italian outfit.

EDIT: It's highly amusing that when the TFC bot changes that lot to woolwich, it also messes up hyperlinks...
