The_Sheriff Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 7m for a player with less than a year left and only one good season is a generous offer. A take it or leave it offer for me. 11m for ince is a steal! I would now look in the loan market. josh sims on loan plausible? Great last name anyway..

Doesn't seem ambitious to me to sell our best player for £8m - £10m when he had 2 years left on his deal, to then replace him with a player who has just 1 year left and isn't even a first choice for Leicester, for near enough the same fee. It just seems like yet more stupidity from whoever negotiates all of our transfers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Without wishing to overreact I think we will definitely get relegated after hearing this news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same Leicester that haven't paid their FFP fine when they were promoted! Well they can go whistle for me. Far too good an offer for a guy who had one good loan spell last season and a huge gamble for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam the Ram Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Very good player and still young, but we've seen plenty of times how it can go badly wrong signing a player after just one good season. My only worry is that if we don't get Lawrence, there doesn't seem to be too many alternatives who're proven at this level or above who would cost under £10 million. Of course, there's always the option to look abroad for signings, but we've not exactly done too well with those lately either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 This is why I'm not a fan at all of 'waiting for the price' of a player to drop. It will never happen in this market, you either get your deals done early for main targets or be left behind. We've put ourselves in absolutely awful negotiation spot now with the situation with both Gray and Mahrez. Had we tried to conclude the deal a lot sooner rather than trying to get a better deal, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in now. We most likely will end up making a bid far greater than what we originally planned due to other competitors and the greater need for Leicester to keep him than previously. The club deserve praise for the other deals done so far but we've made a right balls up of the Lawrence deal. Any hope of getting a good deal went up in flames as soon as Mahrez and Gray starting pushing out of Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rammed79 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Hope we don't increase the offer I think 7m is more than he's worth as it is . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Hennessey Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 TBH I'd prefer us to spend the money on a creative / wide midfield player. No point having all these forwards if there's no one to set up the opportunities in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if Lawrence pushes out of Leicester? If he wants to leave, he'll leave. If he tells them he wants to leave, the only way they'll keep him is if they're stubborn enough to keep him as back up for one more year then lose him for nothing.

How can you blame the club for that? Shakespeare may have wanted to see Lawrence on the tour before making his decisions, and so perhaps it couldn't have been avoided? How can you slate the club without knowledge of my prior questions? Seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
