Neither is Paqueta.

I can see Wolves struggling a bit this season. Not relegation battling but lower midtable; only signed Nathan Collins, Jiminez out for the first month of the season at least, Chiquinho has tore his ACL and they were dogshit in the last couple of months of last season. Brighton still will have goalscoring issues given their lack of a striker, lost Bissouma and Cucurella. Think they'll be upper midtable though still. Palace look a pretty exciting side going forward tbf. Eze has had a good pre season, only lost 12 games last season though they did draw a lot. Top 10 push for them imo. Villa are a bit unknown, no idea how good Carlos is, I wanted us to get Kamara but they got him and they have good options in attack. Though other managers like Howe will have the better of Gerrard imo. Can see them top half though. Leicester are being underrated by a few on social media I think. They had many injuries last season; no Fofana, lost Evans, Vardy and Justin for a while and were in European competition all the way up to May yet they still finished 8th. Most of those injured players are back fit. This could obviously change if Maddison ends up here but as it stands right now I'd say they'd finish above us.

Palace likely won't take the full away allocation either so there'll be even more going on sale.

I read that as in it was his opinion rather than concrete info. And more or less hoping that Wilson gets injured first game is absolutely lifting patter.

He'd likely operate in the right half space, with Trippier and right sided CM offering the width in attack. He'd fit in there in the 4-3-3. On the team sheet, it’d say he's playing RW, but he’d be operating more centrally in the transition.

Craig Dope-y.

If he said that we need to go for Paqueta rather than a striker, then I'd think so.

He actually said this? What a terrible take.

Thought everyone else said it was £45m-£50m?

Hope was the only one saying our first bird was £35m, then second was £40m after never mentioning Maddison once before in any other pieces. If we're bidding for Maddison then I doubt £40m is all we have left.

Maddison is 4 years older than Fofana and has 2 years left on his contract as opposed to Fofana's 5(?). If they had to sell one, surely they'd sell Maddison.

TBF, he's had 30 leagues games without Bruce here last season, 1 goal 0 assists in those. I would though admit he'd probably be useful if Maddison is signed.

Put first bid in around about the time of the Atalanta game, was rejected Saturday morning. Second bid went in yesterday. At least that's when the news come out. If Howe wants him, get him. Pay £50m rising to £55m or £60m with achievable performance based add ons. Can't take another saga where we eventually lose out a la Ekitike.

*insert Grandpa Simpson gif here* The last few pages have been dreadful, you've got Leicester fans on social media claiming they're a far bigger club than us and our lot joking about the helicopter crash on Twitter in response. Christ Am off to the pub.

Back to this again.

Bore off Penn man.

To take one of another club's best players you either pay close to what they want or you'll end up with fuck all. Especially for one of a PL club's best players.

Well, when we beat their other (probably now former ) football fwends Feyenoord 2-3 to go through in the CL we needed Juve to win away at Dynamo Kyiv. They did, and... https://www.nufc.com/html/2002-03html/2002-11-13feyenoord-a.html
