On Lavia, to me they are playing a risky game. Liverpool have offered an insane amount for a 1 season premier playing 19yr old.

Wouldn't surprise me if lavia says right fk it, you were offered £43M for me...I want to go, you turned it down...I'm downing tools, miss training and basically behaves appallingly. Tbh...I couldn't blame him.

Yeah, liked the look of him, think we could see him move for big money again in a few years.

I really hope not. Always thought players that down tools are fecking pr’cks and, sorry to say GB, fans that encourage it, not much better.

It would surprise me. And I wouldn't want him if he behaved like that

Depends on their wage bill really. If they can afford to keep all of those players then they'd have more than a decent chance of coming straight back up.

Leicester had a lot of players on more than decent money I think.

With the exception of JWP, all of their more sellable player are on relatively low wages. Never even heard of Orsic before but he earns a fair wedge!

There is wisdom in not giving you one's best assets...

Long term, it could help the club to get promotion and even after promotion, it could help them to stay up with those assets still at the club...

Well tbh....if ur being held again your will, and the club have recieved a more than generous fee for you...its unfair on the player imo and he would have every right to kick up a fuss.

Gerrard to Chelsea was understandable and a fair price at the time. Suarez taking a sidewards step and a fee offered below value is a completely different situation.

I'd compare it more to Coutinho, where we dug in and got the best deal. That's all they're trying to do. Although as the OP says, it's a dangerous game as the valuations aren't too far away, so eventually a deal will be struck and they'll have no time to replace them in time for the beginning of the season. However JWP is unlikely to kick up a fuss and therefore they may hold better cards in regards to him, evening hopeful of holding on to him.

If they can retain their best players then they really should be coming back up again, which will not only benefit them financially in and of itself, but those same players will be worth more money for prospective buyers if they are back in the PL by next summer.

Equally, those same players got relegated from the PL, so they've much to prove. At least with the Leicester players they've previously shown serious PL & in many case international pedigree prior to last season's collapse.

If they keep them then it is a statement of intent. I just can't see it happening and think they will sell late on with little to no chance of getting in replacements. Which may be the money mens plans.
