Lol. Looks like the board are now stepping in to stop any more Stevie G disasters

Fuck Maddison. He can rot at Leicester.

I don't even know how he did that. I was saying it was more suited to a left footer, but he couldn't have hit that any better. One of those that sticks in your mind, like the Dwight Gayle header a couple of seasons back.

That's Howe's influence for me. Miggy's not a bad finisher by any means, just lacks a bit of confidence, you can imagine the difference it would make if your manager was saying just get in those areas and don't worry about the finish.

Pete from Loaded. That's me telt.

That's honestly one of the best free kicks I've ever seen. It was actually more sutied to a left footer.

This. Maddison is a potentially great player, but if he signs a new contract at Leicester then aomething is missing. For his career I truly hope he won't, even if he ends up somewhere else like Man City. His talent deserves the biggest stage. Just don't sign for Man U or Liverpool you cunt.

Nice one Liam.

Don't think he's shown he wants it enough tbh. He's nee Jao Pedro.

I must admit I thought he was beyond listening to anyone, but fair play, he really does seem to have bought in to Howe's methods. Very excited for the future now. He'll have stinkers, all players of that type do, but hopefully his good performances will outweigh them. Other teams watching that will be having nightmares.

Loved his interview with Kieran, he really seems to want to get better. Just unstoppable today.

Another outstanding finish.

Fair play, he gave us full respect for that performance. We deserved it, but not every manager is big enough to admit it.

So good. What a signing.

Miguel 1 Grealish 0 Flop by hairstyle, flop by nature.

4-5-1 then.

Can't really get excited for these games tbh. I wonder if a 3-5-1 formation might work? They only have Haaland up top, so snuffing their midfield seems the way to go.

If we are after him he obviously is. Just look at how everyone is now looking at Jack Harrison in a new light.

Not a great result for us tbh, we don't need another team challenging us for 8th.

Who cares? He's not coming here, his club have already said they won't sell before the world cup.

Well at least we know how to scout a good player.

That's what this forum would look like if we just reported after the event.

If he was a significant journalist (going by the dictionary definition of the term) he would never speculate on anything, only write on actual events after they have happened. That would make most modern day journalists more or less redundant.

They'll have started looking in earnest a week ago when we first showed interest. Don't forget, they've put a price on him going so it's not like they won't have contingency plans.

They're going to have £60m+ to spend on replacements tbf, that should buy them genuine promotion winning replacements and then some.
