Without being really boring, that’s sort of how journalism works.

 

They don’t receive the full story in one account, they hear a small detail and then follow it up through as many as they can.

 

Their sources often don’t notify them of the initial story but will happily confirm/deny it’s existence or provide slightly more detail, such as a price.

 

Waugh’s source at NUFC might not want the deal to have been public knowledge, so wouldn’t have told him. But as soon as someone else leaked it, it may be to their advantage to say “we’ll only go up to 40m”, to put pressure on Leicester to do a deal.

 

The problem is now that fans will be hankering for a regular update. This will lead to a series of a non-updates as said journalists haven't heard anything new but want to cash in on the engagement. Further to that you'll get a series of non-reliable journalists and "ITKs" chucking trash out that'll be taken as gospel by some. These things can be fun to discuss, particularly while there's no football, but when fans get emotionally invested they can seem drawn out and tedious.

If Leciester sell Fofana - would they sell Maddison?

 

If they sell both they'll want close to £60m for JM. Give them £150m for a mini squad rebuild.

 

Think they’ve already said they won’t be selling both. No idea who said that or when though.

I didn't realise the transfer window is open until 1st Sept, loads of time to get deals done, hopefully we have enough in our side to get some good results before then
