    Silva is apparently flourishing at Monaco but doubt we would get anything over £10m for him. It is in Monaco's best interest to provoke a bidding war so doubt this will be a short negotiation unless we give them what they want.

    My only worry is apparently Rodgers' budget is £40M and we need new backup fullbacks and another striker to compete/be an alternative to Vardy at the very least - doubt we will get the £18M we want for Slimani or anything meaningful for King and Jakupovic who are the only players still in contract in the summer that I think will leave us.

    Wonder if Diabaté and Kapustka has done anything of note? Haven't really heard anything bad which is a good sign at least.

    Rodgers will get more then £40M. He has said he has been told there is money but no numbers have been discussed yet. League finishing position is worth quite abit aswell

    Diabate is doing decent while Kapustka average

    Slimani has been banished from the team at Fenerbache by the sounds of it

    We are being linked with Boyata who is out of contract in the summer and we can talk to him directly now and the final 6 months of your contract as unprotected against teams from different countries approaching the player

    So if we sign Boyata and get Benkovic back. Selling Maguire for £70-80M wouldnt be a bad move and give Wes 12 months as back up

    If Tielemans achieves his potential just think what he would be worth in 2-3 years if he wanted to leave? Alot more then £40M

    I have heard £40M when Rodgers joined and tbh that actually sounds a bit too much as FFP will bugger us up as we have already invested our future TV money and transfer proifits into the new training ground.

    Don't think we'd get that much for Maguire any more - I would bite Man Utd's hand off if they are daft enough to bid that much though.

    Lets get him and Mitrovic in, with Vardy as a front 3, no-ones messing with them! <laugh>

    Maguire for Boyata is a huge downgrade imo, financially it would make sense, but i don't think we should be wishing any of our current first 11 away when we have so much to shift in utility players below them.

    Money spent on facilities doesnt count towards FFP. Its mainly wages, bonuses, agent fees and transfer fees that are FFP

    Thought it was based on your total income - in our case would it count because we already spent it?

    You can lose £100M and pass FFP. Its all about how the money was spent

    Our scouts were spotted at Porto - no reports on who they were watching but the last guy we got from them was half decent...

    We are linked with Liverpool striker Harry WIlson on loan.

    Yeah didn't really want him, i just thought it would be funny to have a striker sent off every week <laugh>

    Wouldn't want a striker from Scotland seeming they made Waghorn look superhuman.

    He’s a winger - I watch Derby a lot due to my girlfriend and he is absolutely outstanding.

    Islam Slimani has been told he will never play for Fenerbache again and he no longer trains with the first team

    Wow! He's not that bad of a player, must be his attitude.

    Also very surprised at this. What’s happened!? Was always ok for us - which is a higher level - we just didn’t play to his strengths and had no plan to

    He has been abysmal for them - they tried to send him back here but we don't want him either so they are prepared to just let him rot in the reserves.

    We are linked with Dean Henderson - a 22yo GK from Man Utd currently on loan at Sheffield Utd.

    There are rumours that Kasper wants to leave and Rodgers is willing to let him go...

    Morgan is set to sign a new 1yr deal - not sure how much playing time he has been promised when we have Soyunku and Benkovic waiting to take his place.

    Morgan has signed a 1yr contract extension.

    He'll not be a 1st choice starter going forward but his experience and influence on our younger players of the pitch will be very valuable. Assume he may stay on in a coaching capacity long term.

    We are linked with Andreas Pereira from Man Utd - he has recently broken into the first team but there is a good chance that they will loan him out if he signs a new deal or sell him if he doesn't.

    Sidnei Tavares has signed a professional deal with us - the Portugal U18 midfielder has been here since he was 9 but has been linked with Lazio and Porto. Is only 17 and broken into our U23 side which is promising.
