I don't expect it no, we're a bit of a wildcard so it's hard to say how we'll do, it could go either way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he takes a lot of free kicks and we've got a couple players already good enough, so what is his open play record like?

McCormick Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 They won’t have to tbh. Wesley makes more sense to sell and Chelsea are a big enough step up that he’ll force the move if he really wants to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdm Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) if we aren’t willing to stretch it a little for Maddison then when are we? He immediately transforms our attacking play. It doesn’t really play in to most peoples opinion that if we have a chance of a player of quality we’ll go for it and more like what has been said time and again that there is a strict budget I know this is just Craig Hopes view but we seem to priced out of every move Edited August 2, 2022 by gdm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Maddison is easily worth 50 million in todays market, if we really are struggling for budget we should have probably not spent money on a new keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say a waste of time. If you think a deal can be done at £50m, but don't want to go quite so high its always worth entering into negotiations to see if there is a middle ground to be found. Especially with Leicester. Lots of potentially interesting quirks to a deal. Their need for a GK, which we have spare. The supposed £8m left of the Perez payments.

danswan Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 (edited) Is it unthinkable that we are having a 'prudent' window in order to demonstrate clearly that we aren't to be seen as a cash cow to any selling club? Would that not fit the mould of building slowly that has been mentioned more than once? And should we not accept that, safe in the knowledge that our hierarchy do clearly have the club's long term interests at heart?

I'm pretty sure them owing £8m on Perez came from that Casey clown on twitter. I haven't seen anyone reputable report it although happy to be corrected. If Leicester's asking price is £60m as widely reported. You would assume £50m plus add ons would be the bare minimum they'd take. Also, they are traditionally tough sellers. They made Mahrez wait 6 months and got top dollar for him, Maguire and Drinkwater. Edited August 2, 2022 by PlymouthGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
