Fantail Breeze

It was, until the Saudi’s acted on the piracy… the known stumbling block throughout the whole saga. But without getting into that there is absolutely no way Leicester sell Fofana and Maddison.

He’s a good poster, glad he’s doing well.

To be fair, every single away end says the exact same thing about home fans up and down the country each week. Home fans also think they were louder. Tends to be a case the seat you’re in will dominate the noise from what’s immediately around you rather than across the other side of the pitch. I thought the atmosphere started well, tailed off as nerves crept in and immediately came to life when we scored. Again, pretty much what happens at every single stadium. I find the whole “we sung more songs than you” pretty 17-18 years old. Unless SJP was sat in complete silence for 90 minutes, it’s not a total surprise the atmosphere will go in peaks and troughs.

Yup. Really pleasing to see that the coaching staff have clearly worked with him on his obvious flaws, but even more pleasing that he seems to have listened.

Wolves signing a Portuguese player shocker.

This deal is a dead duck if Fofana moves, which makes it even more vital if we hold a genuine interest that we move quickly and get the deal done. Chelsea will pay what is required for Fofana, we need to sort this move out before they do.

He was brilliant, again. He absolutely bullies shite teams like.

Really? He dropped a clanger part way through the second half. He had absolutely nothing to do, but thought he looked great at the quick throws and poor with his feet. Seemed fairly comparable to Dubravka imo, but time will tell who is the better keeper. Unsurprising really having come from Burnley under Dyche where 90% of the game is played in the air.

*copy and paste into every pre-match thread this season* We’ll win the World Cup, imo.

Brilliant performance, our pressing and attacking play was glorious to watch. It’s only Forest, so won’t get too excited, but that was great. Howe seemingly coaching the best out of ASM, finally playing like a team player and looks 10 times better for it.

Didn’t ignore particularly well.

I don’t entirely disagree but my argument is that we do need someone fully adapted to the PL if we want to be as ambitious as possible. Maddison, imo, would lift us from fighting for top half to European contention. I suppose it depends on whether that is a priority for the owners or if they’re happy with a consolidation season. Being a supporter, obviously I want to strive for the best.

I’m assuming Greenwood was taken out of consideration as he would’ve surely been on that list.

Oh no. Three or four people on the internet like you more than me. Devastated. You carry on fella Showing yourself up something rotten here.

Embarrassing.

I disappeared for a few hours because I have a life. Why on Earth would I apologise for suggesting you’re a tit when you continue to act like one? The rest of your post adds nothing to the conversation, Bruno was good value - but we’ll see how he develops to see if that remains the case. Wood was terrible value, we’ve had some wins and some losses there. Doesn’t take away from the fact that Maddison would be cracking value at the cost it’s expected to take.

So the post made perfect sense apart from the different conversation you were having with yourself? Strong opinion to suggest Bruno is better than Maddison based on his incredibly small sample size. Mo Diame looked like a £50m player for six months once too. Not saying Bruno will flop but trying to suggest he is better than Maddison is ludicrous. It’s funny how suddenly we can find this great value in the market but the total opposite was the case when people were suggesting Wood at £25m was absolutely essential because there was no value to be had. I’ve said it many times but will repeat it again once just for you, £50m-£60m for Maddison is good value.

Makes sense.

Bruno has been fantastic for six months, Maddison has been consistently fantastic for four years at this level/in this league. It’s not difficult to see why one would currently cost more than the other.

Think the next offer will be pivotal, either deal agreed or we’ll walk away.

Still say that even at £50m you’ll not get better value in any position for proven PL quality and the potential to grow. Maybe Tielemens but he doesn’t seem to fancy it.

Shame the petrol will take the job down to 5k.

Like a new signing.

It’s that thing again where if you even dare suggest bidding £35m for £60m+ James Maddison is odd, YOU HATE THE CLUB AND THE OWNERS AND LOVE ASHLEY.

Ridiculous if we don’t pay that £50m. That is arguably great value. If we sign Maddison and can only bring a striker on loan, it’s still fantastic.
