Cronky Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 10 hours ago, Jaqen said: He's looking better but over the course of the season he's going to let us down and cost us. There was chances on Saturday were he could have slid in with his right and another where he had a clear chance on his right about 6 years out and somehow ended up on the edge of the box trying to cut back on his left He's high on energy but not great on technique. That's the package he offers, and fair play to him, he's managed to battle his way into the side at the moment. If the side is to move to another level, he's unlikely to be a first team regular, but he may remain a useful squad player. I think his pace and work rate will make him useful to have around.

I definitely found it hard to follow but that’s more to do with me being a fuckwit with numbers than the article itself. Do wages also come out of that £41m figure? Yes, but the £41m is just what he calculates the remaining amount from the £105m we're allowed to lose under FFP to be if our revenue stays the same as it was under Ashley. Which won't happen.

The Prophet Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 If you're thinking to yourself "I'll see if Chris Waugh's mailbag has any new snippets of info" don't bother. I want that five minutes if my life back. The Daily Record are reporting we've signed a young keeper from East Fife though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I like Maddison a lot, but I suspect that Leicester are going to stick with a high valuation that we won't reach. Given the state of the squad, the priority has to be another striker anyway. Ideally the club would like to go for someone who is young but also ready to step into the first team, and there won't be many of those that haven't already been snapped up or earmarked for the CL clubs. I think we'll have to settle for someone a bit older. We've been linked with so many that it gets confusing, but of the latest candidates, Raul de Tomas and Luis Muriel look like they can do a job for us.

Our athletic writers seem to be the only ones who don’t get exclusive transfer news, or many exclusives at all tbh. Every other club on twitter when you see breaking transfer news it comes from their representative who writes for the athletic, for whatever reason ours seem massively out of the loop.

I’m sure they have done the same with loads of players across Europe. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can’t get the young striker with potential we really wanted and are planning to invest in other areas instead (central midfield), then to bring in someone from a top six club to warm our bench seems a good idea. We need the cover. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
