We’re getting close folks, really close, I can almost taste it… (Hope it’s a magnificent Madgri and not a mirage) . Haven’t watched this in a long time. Apparently they filmed John Mills downing a real pint for the scene and they had to do around 8 takes of it, so he was rather pissed by the end Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddison would be a great signing, although given our system he would be on the left no? Makes me wonder if we have someone who wants ASM. What makes you think Paqueta would love to come here ?

I think Howe will be pretty flexible as long as he has players working hard off the ball to press the opposition. We'll have a pretty set defence, Wilson, and at least 2 hard working central midfielders but I think the other 3 can change depending on the circumstances. We've played with inverted wingers or natural wingers, 'shuttlers' or a two man pivot with a 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Maddison would be fantastic but again, we’re going for a player that a club isn’t interested in selling. There’s no way we’ll bid the required 60m+ to get him, unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BennyBlanco Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Maddison would be an absolute dream of a signing. Sub-question - do any of you think we are purposely targeting English talent over foreign imports or is it just coincidence that the lions share of the signings have all been English?

Dr Jinx Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Whether we sign him or not, that sort of situation can’t not unsettle a player. One way or the other we’re potentially putting one over on Leicester who could be in for a struggle this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion’s share of the links (if genuine) haven’t been English. Doubt we’re doing a retro Yorkshire cricket thang. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He feels that sort of player where you love his shithousery if he plays for you, but is despised by everyone else. A bit like Gordon at Everton, although I think that's more to do with his face Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I reckon £50m and we’d get him - which would be an outstanding signing and reasonable value. Would almost certainly be a statement too, walking in and taking their best player off them.
