Mountain Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 19 minutes ago, foxghost said: Thanks for the sentiment, but too many players seem to be a shadow of their former selves (Castagne, NDidi, Vardy) and the fans seem bemused by manager selections (no idea why Iheanacho rarely gets the nod). Reminds me a bit of your Brucie days (sorry to bring back painful memories). Immensely proud of the players. Great character, a wonderful human being.

bowlingcrofty Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 (edited) From Brenda’s presser today: “It’s been a conversation the club have been having for a while. His contract is clear where it’s at. For me, it’s about making sure James is playing at the best level he can be. He’s staying available and fit.” You speak with him personally? “Yeah, I speak openly with the players, especially with the situation with him. We have a whole host of players out of contract in the next 18 months. That connection between the manager and player is important. It’s a constant dialogue.” What would it mean for Maddison to sign? “It’d be great. He’s a top player in the league. He’s shown that in his time here gradually. You can see that development take place. We improve players and give them great conditions to work in. But I won’t be begging a player to stay. They get great support here and if they’ve been here, they understand what the club is about. Players' careers are short and they have to think about the future. I understand what they’re thinking.” Edited February 17, 2023 by bowlingcrofty Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

foxghost Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Most Leicester fans hope that Madders stays with us, even though he will never play the full season. Prospective buyers will have to take into account he will win many games for you, but you will need backup to allow him to rest games (which a club of your size will no doubt have).

We have about 13 first team players. But yes I'd happily take the risks for Maddison. I think he'd be the best signing we could make this summer.

bowlingcrofty Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I think he’ll be one of those signings that if we want him we need to get it done early doors, as the longer it lingers the more likely other clubs will be in for him. Can see Spurs going for him so we need to make the most of the uncertainty there regarding Conte’s future. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 It'd be interesting to see where we slot him into our system. He isn't a number eight, so on the right I'd imagine. Still not convinced he's going to be one of our main targets. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I mean, I’d be absolutely buzzing if we signed him. But with the system we play and his injury problems this season. I think signing a proper DM would improve us just as much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 I still think he’ll go to Liverpool, CL or not. They desperately need new blood in MF Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
magvicar Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 You know, people go on about James Maddison and an injury record but the reality is it's not that bad at all. He'd be a great addition to Newcastle and if we could get him for a fair price given his contract being up in 2024. If we fail to land him then James Ward Prowse would be a great second. Having said that it'll be interesting to see what we actually do in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
