Leicester for £18m is the latest chat.....

Weren't we in for their LB Ben Chillwell in the summer too? It's a lesser deal, but at least we might get a decent LB in if we do a player swap of some sort.

18 mill for him would be a very good deal.

Yes, I think they wanted too much money

Or maybe the player himself wanted to stay, I forget. I wasn't even sure he'd played any Premiership games, so it didn't seem an immediate fix

18m for Sakho would be alright though

Not involved for the U-23s tonight. Maybe a move is close.

hooray

According to the Echo we've rejected a loan bid from Southampton.

Maybe this will speed things up and make them offer a permanent deal:

We won't be finding a buyer to match the price we want and the wages to match.

Yep, we're stuck with him until his contract expires and off he goes on a free.

Come on guys, you're adults, professionals... can't you just sort this out between you?

It's a game of chicken from our side. Still about 2 weeks left until the window closes.
Lots of teams want Sakho, I like the way we're handling hit.
I don't see his value dropping too much if he's forced to stay until the summer.
