LFEE Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Just now, The Prophet said: I know he's missed a few games this season. Is it persistent? 2 or more knee problems this season iirc so slightly concerning. Watched a bit of the Slob tonight but nothing to report really. Kept it relatively simple most of the time. He’s clearly more of an athlete. Surprised he’s the international captain now. Looks more two footed than Maddison but predominantly right. Was surprised also he played most of what I watched on the left wing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hanshithispantz Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 FWIW Maddison's G+A per 90 is higher than Isak's (0.69 to 0.65) which should put into perspective how dangerous he is. Isak should only get better, but people are massively underrating Maddison like. Given how often we get the ball into the opposition box, and how many fouls we draw, he should be made for us too. I'm going to stop sucking him off now though as it's getting a bit embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming neither Spurs or Mags do something daft, the price has to come down and he'll have to choose. Agree and he will pick Newcastle and Champions League. I don't think anyone is saying Maddison is not worth £50m. In fact we tried to buy him for that last year. But last year was last year, and he now has only a year left on a contract with a relegated team. Let's just hope Leicester don't drag this out last year like they did with Fofana to Chelsea.

Ronaldo Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 Maddison is as proven as it gets in the PL mind. Wouldn’t swap Isak or Bruno for him, don’t get me wrong. Obvs neither would Hans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously all just reported figures but we pulled out at £40-45m last summer. Spurs being interested means Leicester will be hopeful of getting close to their asking price to cover the 15% sell on clause but if either of us drop out then the price could drop as low as £25-30m easily. As cheeky as it was Levy knows what he’s doing with the dual bid approach. I honestly they have the nod on players preference but he’s not ruling us out as you’d expect and we are possibly repositioning on our list of targets for that position as if price drops that much we could do that deal along with another. Like every journalist reports all the deals have these constant moving parts but only when aligned they move and move quickly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Puppets Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 (edited) Maddison is definitely worth £50m in todays market like. If Declan Rice is going for £100m+ Edited June 20, 2023 by Shadow Puppets Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
r0cafella Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 People are picking at the price of Maddison because he has a year left and because his team just got relegated. Im pretty sure you remove those factors and nobody quibbles about the price. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his team being relegated and the contract having a year to run do factor into it - as does the lack of big name suitors at present. In six months he can talk to clubs about leaving for nowt.

Keep him for a year, get promoted and they're better off having the PL money back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Declan Rice is going for £100m+ I have a feeling the dark horse in the Maddison situation is Man City depending on the Gundogan/Bernardo situation. Arsenal/Man U don't need Maddison, and Chelsea is a shit show. I think there is too much flux at Liverpool (new midfield trying to accommodate TAA) and Tottenham to make them sensible destinations for him at this time.

Isak and Bruno have more talent in their pinkies than Maddison. He’s good but not that good. Not 50m good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I very much would love to have him in the squad and I totally think he’d improve us, but FFP is very real and 50 is very too real. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
