Mckram Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 £7m too much in my opinion so walk away. I understand he's got potential but 1 decent season at Ipswich doesn't warrant that. We pay more than that and we're setting him up for a fall here. If he has an average season like Johnson/Butterfield have had then everyone will be on his back!

Probably right, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon Shakespeare likes him and they will offer him a new contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andicis Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Move on, go for another target instead. Not worth north of 7 million for one good season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAZ Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Will wait for information from @SuperDerbySuperRams before entering meltdown mode. Best case scenario: Rejected because of the structure of the deal and we pay more cash up front to agree the deal. Worst case scenarios: They want to keep him/He doesn't want to come/He wants to go to Brighton/They want a ridiculous amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughesy 1984 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Go in with a last bid of £8m straight away and confirm we aren't willing to pay anymore. If they reject walk away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dajstrawb Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Still think it's one we should continue to pursue. He's clearly number 1 target Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 No indication on the breakdown of this £7m offer yet unless I have missed it? Could quite easily be £4m up front with £3m in add ons and/or bonuses - if that was the case that isn't that bad a price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papahet Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Leicester strike again. Havent forgiven them for having our pants down with Howard and Oakley. Why can't they flat out say "he's not for sale"? Player needs games and I'd imagine security with a year remaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LB_DCFC Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 You have to remember that transfers aren't all paid up front, they usually have a large amount of different clauses, instalments etc. I'm guessing that we will going in for him again, with maybe more value but payments that will benefit Leicester more, more money up front or something along those lines. This deal will be vital for us, as we clearly lack that firepower that we vitally need, and unless we look into the foreign market, there isn't many other if any other players that can provide that in england besides Lawrence.

dajstrawb Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Weird one. You'd think this offer has been on the table for some time. Smells to me like the other potential outgoing activity over there has triggered the rejection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicester Ram Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 The transfer market really is going mental. I really rate him a lot but come on, he's 23 not 19/20, he's had one good season (9 goals, not quite the production of Knockeart or Ince) and only has one year left on his contract. We don't know all the details, but going off what we know of other transfers the total price shouldn't be above 7 million. Can only assume it's something to do with how it's being paid, add-on's etc. Hopefully Brighton's interest isn't too serious, otherwise we could end up paying over the odds or losing him.

Exactly. First bids are usually rejected, but "£7m" can mean all sorts of variants ranging from £7m cash to £0m + £7m in clauses. No need for a meltdown guys.
