Danh1 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 If we don’t get him, it’s good to know we’re looking to spend about £40m before the end of the window. Should end up with a top player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Leicester are direct competition with us this season, you’d think - we’re in that group of teams who’ll likely finish somewhere between 7th-12th.

Every time he thinks he's hit the next level, his form falls off a cliff. If he signs for us, does well he'll be looking at a bigger club whilst playing like he's in pre-season. Any time Arsenal have been mentioned to be in for him his head goes walkabouts, its the same when he gets an England call up, starts playing like billy-big-bollocks and inevitably doesn't get selected. £50-60m. No thanks. Expand When the club talks about right characters, it's more to do with off the field issues and then their professionalism and commitment to working on their game I imagine. Don't think Maddison has those kind of concerns. Now having said that, I fully understand why some folks aren't thrilled about him joining, because he's a bit of a prat and not the most likeable guy, which is very different from all the guys we have at the minute.

How odd. Expand Yes, based on adding goals and assists through the middle of the park. And they are both top players available at great value this summer. It would be pretty weird if they only had Maddison on the list, and if you think only players that have been linked have ever been under consideration , then I don't know what to tell you really.

One is highly professional, the other is a bit of a lad. One has friends already at the club and would settle quickly, the other doesn't. Pacqueta is more versatile, more willing to come and would probably be cheaper and easier to negotiate too. Expand Maddison also has big upsides over Paqueta - PL proven with very good numbers, homegrown and already settled in England. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
