While generally I agree with the "fucking sign or fuck off" sentiment, the one thing I will say is Leicester are his home town club and probably the team he supports. If I was a kid at a non-league team and City were a possibility, however faint, I'd probably hold out as long as I could.

George is probably round Craig Shakespeare's house every night giving him back rubs, and begging him to sign him up

I didn't suggest that we withdraw a contract offer. As i agree he then becomes a free agent which would cost us potentially thousands of pounds.

Yes if he signed for another club with no compensation agreed arbitration will decide the fees owed. Most are now settled by ongoing payments made on appearances, promotions or sell on clauses.

As stated it's stalemate, clubs don't want to pay 500,000, player has been told to hold out and we are waiting for another offer from interested parties Sooner or later someone in this gets financially hurt, so who blinks first the club or the player/agent. So read the post before you call anyone out and suggest they are clueless.

So first it was me stating we should withdraw a contract offer, which you know i never said. Now it's me rambling, well, fuck me with a feather, never expected that come back. I'm sure its taken from Tim's great book of misdirection.

Anyway back on topic, just an opinion he may still sign for us, but the reason he hasn't already tells me he likes the offer closer to home other than the one waiting on MR table. You seem to know different and disagree with my opinion, not shocked or surprised by this Gren, enjoy the season, let's hope it's a good one for us all with or without GT.

Again explain where I said we should withdraw a contract offer. Or did I say as the player is holding out it may come that we are forced to accept a lower fee, accept arbitration which will not get the fee we want or withdraw an offer which although highly unlikely , could allow us so to move on and allow MR use his wage set aside to build his current squad.

If you do not think this is what GT/agent and LCFC are trying to force then why hasn't he signed. If I'm rambling, clueless on this then please enlighten us all to why he is holding out days before a new season without a wage, club or contract.

Because we rejected the offer. The process then is a new offer is made or it goes to a tribunal. The fact the offer is made as part of the process and other clubs withdrew shows the player has advised the club where he will be going.

Process is now in GT's hands, if he rejects our offer he can walk into any other club in the England sign for them and if a fee is not agreed by the two clubs a tribunal will decide the initial fee and any future payments based on individual player targets. His contract expired with us so he now holds the upper hand, which is why he was holding out. However i would not be shocked that before end of next week all is sorted out.

The thing that disappoints me in this long running saga is that nobody would have blamed George for going elsewhere and bettering his wages its the fact that it appears he is dragging his feet to the now detriment of our team if that is indeed the case that we need to get money for him to buy a quality striker, Mark Robins has had a full pre season with our new squad but we still have missing pieces... FFS George if its your doing hurry up and piss off so we can move on.. btw good luck for your future

Sadly i think its the potential of a better contract elsewhere that is preventing this moving forward on the players side with us. We have rejected an offer or offers and now its a waiting game on what he does next, all parties are holding out trying to force what they want. And as said previously it will come to a point where someone or something has to break, i 100% agree while he is holding out, MR is stuck, as no money is being made available until players are offloaded or wages assigned have not been used.

Any interested club are prepared to wait on this, they do not see GT as a 1st team player instantly, they can develop and educate, we on the other hand know he makes a difference to our 1st team, so we are being squeezed by the player and any potential interested club . He has the power in this position to even move abroad which gives us nothing, that also can be played on by an agent to force a agreed lower fee with an English club i believe.

I have no idea if he is holding it up or not all I do know is that he hasnt signed with us or anybody else so I guess that maybe it has something to do with his agent/advisor

No but he said 'appears' which allows you to say what you want. Like 'rant over' and 'my opinion'.

He can reject our offer which allows him to sign for anyone else and a tribunal decide the fee, which is the part i cant work out. Unless we are the only offer on the table then if so i would of thought by the end of next week he will of worked out which way he is going.

I would have thought he would have worked out what he was doing so he could join his new club and have a pre season with them

True but that's why at his age the level of his ability is yet to be determined and why Prem clubs take these sorts of gambles on these type of players. Some fit in and do well others find the level they are capable of, but that is the whole point of a players career.

Wonder if this thread will get as many posts, based on as little information, as Ruffian's made-up bullshit thread about CBR

Wouldn't have he started training with Leicester if a deal had been signed and agreed? From Robins interviews it sounds like he's still training with us. Plenty of other players that have agreed to move with a tribunal fee up the air have carried on and played for their new club regardless?
