Ghandis Flip-Flop Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 And according to some on Twitter still owe us £8M from that particular transaction. Could be factored in to our negotiations 🤷🏻♂️ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Edwards in particular does himself no favors by acting a smug twat, but man, the sheer ignorance some of you have about journalism is truly grating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I expect we’ll sign a player of his quality and profile every transfer window once our many commercial deals are fully in place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
STM Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Also the disparity on the fee isn't down to structuring but more down to the likelihood the fee has performance related clauses in it. It might well go above 50m, if we get in the champions league or Maddison plays 40 games for us or any other number of variables. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) 9 minutes ago, STM said: Fair point, he's also a better player though. Aye but also a little older and surplus to requirements. With wages so high, only 5 or 6 clubs in the world could afford him with a fee. Leicester could still probably get £30m for Maddison next summer. I think Richarlison and Raphinha are more similar transfers to this.

toontownman Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I'm all about the Lee Ryder quotes saying "after a weekend of negotiations". If that was accurate then what we have bid has to be very close to what they want. Putting faith in Edwards and Ryder. What a world. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll ride with Howe's decision, but man ... I like Brandt and Aouar a lot and wish were looking at one of them instead. Based on what? Maddison has been one of the best attacking players in the league. The league nufc are playing in. I like Aouar but why hasnt he got out of Lyon yet. Maddison numbers are superior to Aouar.

Bompeter Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Haven’t seen anything that suggests Leicester want to or have to sell. And haven’t seen anything from us that we’re willing to put in a bid big enough to change their minds. Would like to be wrong as I think he’d go some way to taking us over the top, but don’t think this one is a goer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abacus Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Would be our new record signing, wouldn't it? Love a record signing, me. I remember the days of thinking £1.75m was a bit steep for Andy Cole... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

toontownman Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Just now, HaydnNUFC said: We are in a different world for signings now. So many extra add on clauses. Just little things like champions league appearance bonus or winning the league/cups etc. Up until the takeover no club was cruel enough to suggest even mentioning those things in negotiations, at least not without bursting into laughter... with Charley nervously chuckling along with them not understanding the joke.
