Leicester need to sell before they can buy 14:09 - Aug 11 with 4166 views | J2BLUE | £2m relatively peanuts to a Prem club but might be tempting to cash in to put towards a token signing to placate the fan base. Or do they loan him to the Championship, hope he smashes in 20 goals and then cash in next summer for £10m+? |  |

Not really, they are being sensible. Unheard of, isn't it? |  |

They are investing in the stadium and training ground. |  |

Yeah, they spent a lot of money on their new training ground. It's a very impressive facility. |  |

Might just be rumours but Rodgers might be nearing the sack after allegedly falling out with director of football Jon Rudkin. Maybe there is a difference of opinion over Hirst. |  |

Surely it’s a relatively minor gamble for the reasons you state - £1-2m is nothing to them and if it doesn’t pan out and they end up selling him for less then so be it |  |

Very minor, they’re about to get £90m for Fofana from Chelsea if rumours are to be believed |  | |  |

I wonder if it's about optics here, they haven't bought anyone and if we are lead to believe then Fofana is off to Chelsea, Maddison to Newcastle, Tielemans to Arsenal. Wonder if they will sanction the sale of Hirst once they have announced a couple of signings to take the heat away from constant departures. Although as per the Sky article earlier, sounds like they have prioritised the training ground above anything else, and whilst admirable this is route they want to take, they need to make sure they don't decimate the first team. |  |

It did and has crossed my mind there might be a lot more to this - Rodgers and relationships being one |  |

Maddison is better than Newcastle surely?! |  |

Well, I know he's one of your darlings, but he isn't going to anyone in the top 5-6 so Newcastle, given where they plan to go, will be the next best bet for him I would have thought. An don't call me shirley! [Post edited 11 Aug 2022 14:47]

Is he better than the money Newcastle can offer - and potential |  |

Leicester need to sell before they can buy on 14:49 - Aug 11 with 2916 views | textbackup | We all know how this goes… Immense pressure heaped on the shoulders of this new striker we’ve been wanting all summer…. You can guess the rest |  |

Leicester need to sell before they can buy on 14:49 - Aug 11 with 2909 views | BigCommon | Probably move him on for a price, with decent sell on fee/ promotion bonuses attached. Imo. Bit slow go. But Leicester got other business to get done. The Fofana 70-80mil move and a replacement, probably trumps a Hirst move in terms of priority... If they chose the loan rout. Then could possibly drag on longer. Loan window remains open after transfer window closes, I believe.. |  | |  |

I’m really surprised no-one has bought Tielemans yet. One of the best allround midfielders in the league |  | |  |

Think he really wants to go to Arsenal, but whilst they want him, from what I've read they are happy to wait a year and get him on a free. |  |

Leicester need to sell before they can buy on 15:08 - Aug 11 with 2736 views | itfcsuth | £2M for a striker who hit 13 goals last time out (1 more than Bonne), with 1 year to run on his deal. Don't like this one. Looks like crazy spending to me. |  | |  |

Tielemans to Arsenal & Maddison to Newcastle have been dead for days/weeks The only one likely to happen is Fofana to Chelsea, Hirst hasn't been included in the named squad, so it's more likely they're trying to find the best option for him, that may be us, that may be someone else Just gotta be patient with it |  | |  |

I was surprised he ended up at Leicester in the first place. As a youngster he was always linked with Champions League clubs. |  |

I am sure he said "being sensible" rather than "resigning themselves to relegation without even putting up a fight". |  |

Leicester need to sell before they can buy on 17:14 - Aug 11 with 2052 views | itfc48 | He'll be a free agent next summer and it's hard to see him extending his contract unless they offer him silly money. If he's being well advised he'll put down some roots and become established as the first choice 9 somewhere. |  | |  |
