LFEE Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 A deal like Maddison in Leicester’s position and all the varying factors never gets done until last few days of the window. Chelsea will be the ones to trigger the dominoes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lotus Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 Not sure we ever expected to sign him tbh. You certainly don’t go in for a player of that quality with such a low bid. Think we may have been using the process to demonstrate to another team/player that we’re only willing to bid so much and will walk away. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 13, 2022 Share Posted August 13, 2022 I'm not suprised. Our bids were way below market value. We seemingly have a spending cap short of the £50m+ it would take to get him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, seems very odd in hindsight. I was certain we'd go again, simply due to how far below their valuation we were. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 I said very early, unless we had some insider knowledge. These bids were crazy low. NO told me it was the art of negotiation. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cattletrucked Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 The nearer it gets to the close of the transfer window, the more knackers will be whinging on, on Twatter! I’m confident we’ll get players in where we need, but have been a bit baffled by some of these ‘bids’ if totally true that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I can think of is agents trying to manipulate circumstances re: his availability so as to get a bigger contract. There was absolutely no way he'd ever be sold for £40 million.

Who knows what we really bid tbh but clearly the club has a set amount of cash that they can spend and there are several positions that we need to strengthen. Maybe it was also to test Leicesters resolve, as they do need to sell in order to buy. Also maybe they were hoping to turn Maddisons head so he would ask for the move.

Stottie Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 Most pundits see Leicester dropping down the league this year. Their 2022 form is midtable and no better. https://www.transfermarkt.com/premier-league/jahrestabelle/wettbewerb/GB1/saison_id/2022 Leceister may have opened negotiations but that doesn't mean he's going to sign. I wouldn't assume this is over just yet. They may have to fight off interest from another big club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfcastle Posted August 19, 2022 Share Posted August 19, 2022 (edited) If we offered Leicester what they wanted for Maddison we wouldn't be able to buy anybody else. Maybe they just dont want to go all in one one player as opposed to strengthening two positions. Its a balancing act. Though personally that's the road I'd go down because that gets us to another level and we can worry about forwards we actually want down the line, a line signing a Maddison enhances, not make-shift ones. Get a striker on loan on top of that and it would have been great business. Edited August 19, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
