It's Leicesters job to value their assets, we don't do that for them and just expect them to take whatever we throw in their direction.
It's also whether they can afford to keep him and pay his salary in the Championship if nobody is prepared to pay their asking price. It's not the same as a PL club holding out on a player. And I get the sense he would go off in a huff to force the issue if Leicester don't agree a sale.
They will have released a lot of big wage players such as Tielmans and parachute payments. They can afford to keep him. I’m sure a deal can be had along the lines of £45m with bonuses on to bringing it closer to what they want overall but still giving what we want/need
Craig Hope used to be alright but he's got annoying now, seems to love the sound of his own posh geordie accent.

Irrelevant because the big 6 set up FFP defences after the city takeover..Newcastle have to grow the club before they gain any advantage.
