Kante? Reckon he'll be done in 5 minutes.

.... we only got 3 more points on it than our away fixtures.

In any other season that would be a damning statistic!

1970/71?

I'm sure I read somewhere that his release clause is quite complicated and not straightforward to trigger.

Given the circumstances of his arrival, it would be odd if it is a plain £20m.

I'm missing it, I can't see anything about Kante in the article?

I swear they deliberately put the tallest of the mascots in front of N'Golo. Every little helps.

Looks like his contract is a minefield would be interesting to know which clubs can not enquire about it

I think the Royal Engineers could. I know it's some time since they had success ( FA Cup 1875 ), but who knows?

According to the Mirror, he's all set to reject a new deal as he wants to join Chelsea.

The interesting part of that article being:

While £20million triggers the clause, Leicester are only required to accept the highest bid over the stated figure, leading clubs to stall over showing their hand first.

Haha, I like that.

Football contacts get more and more stupid every year.

So he's here at least until transfer deadline day I guess.

Suspect so. Prepare for Arsenal to keep bidding £1 more each time someone puts an offer in

 

[M17TT C]

He'll be here until January - Arsenal will come in with a last minute big money deal but won't be able to get the deal done in time.

 

[Jeff]

So he's here at least until transfer deadline day I guess.

Presumably there's some kind of timescale set out in the contract. If not we could just refuse to sell him, saying we're waiting for a bigger offer.

So it might be that we have to accept the biggest offer that comes within a certain number of days after the first offer, for example.

 

[pork pie fox]

So, if (for argument's sake) he decides he wants to go to Chelsea.

They bid £20m. Other clubs suss him out via his agent, and he says he's not interested, so that they don't bid. We still only get the (reported) £20m.

The counter argument, I guess, is that another club could bid £25m, even if they know he doesn't want to go to them, but effectively nullifying Chelsea's bid, or forcing them to spend more, at least.

I don't know. I'm still confused.
