Joey47 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 2 minutes ago, Gallowgate Toon said: I just don't believe we'd go back and offer pretty much the same amount. Pretty unanimous in the view that it was £50m last night but now it's not. Who stands to gain by changing the info? Possibly last night the Journalists were all scurrying to report the news of the second bid but none of them knew how much the bid actually was, so they put 2 and 2 together and decided it must be in the region of 50m if Leicester want 60m.

JonBez comesock Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 I think we will go in with a 3rd bid today Hopefully £40m ?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 2 minutes ago, Joey47 said: As more and more time goes on with no attacking reinforcements it does begin to raise concerns, they do seem to be targeting top players but to target these kinds of players (that teams don't want to lose) you need to go in with big offers which they just don't seem to be doing. Aye. 4 minutes ago, GEFAFWISP said: Agreed. What's a little aggravating is how public all of these bids are when a lot of January was quiet until the deals we closed, creates an impression of being spendthrifts. Aye. Targeting players and being way off what the selling club would accept is amateur stuff. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Just now, PlymouthGeordie said: Well aren't we (the collective we) doing that with Maddison? I believe you started this thread so you obviously give credence to the reports? Multiple reliable sources have reported that we've placed a second bid. The same sources have said we have an interest in Diaby and Harrison, but it hasn't moved beyond that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoot Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 So according to reports we originally bid 40 million, had it rejected so bid 40 million again? Yep, sounds like these journos know all the ins and outs of this 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They aren't in Europe and every indication is they need a rebuild or they're going backwards. A top 7 quality squad. With some injury luck they can challenge for top 4 again. Decent chance at cups.

gdm Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 So we still haven’t bid much over £40m. Craig Hope seems to be on the ball then Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig Hope seems to be on the ball then He always seems to be the first to report the backroom additions too. Think he was first with the other Carrick, plus the lawyer bloke. Obviously it could be that others get that news too but don't bother reporting it, but it does suggest he has some good contacts somewhere within the club.

xLiaaamx Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Sounds like Hope was the correct one with fees aye. 35m then 40m. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Total conjecture, but I wonder if reports of a higher bid are coming from the Leicester end to save face if they accept a lower offer? Luke, who probably got his info from John Percy and the transfer gimp originally broke the bid at the higher end. Our reporters are now pouring cold water on that.

tomlynnherrington Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 If we don’t sign anyone else,and Wilson picks up an injury or two, ( I know if if ) I’d be happy finishing 9th or 10th with no relegation battle at anytime. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattoon Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Clearly no one knows anything other than 2 bids have gone in either side of the weekend, £35m, £40m, £45m, £50m with add-ons, including add-ons. It's all speculation at this point, the only consensus is that two bids have been made, the first one was rejected instantly and the second has been sat on the table for 24hrs.
