From who? I only see discussion personally. 

It wasn’t a reference to the discussion, was a reference to Mr. Snrub. Unless my memory is fucked, there was a poster on here called ‘Messi’ who did a bet and said they’d drink their own piss if they lost. They didn’t drink their own piss and their name was changed to ‘Pissi’. Then, I’m sure they changed their name to Mr. Snrub, but I could be wrong

Thanks for the welcome haha! Definitely got the wrong end of the stick there mate. 

[gbandit]

Apologies if I’ve mistakenly covered you in piss. For some of the long-term

posters, what did Pissi change his name to after that? And wasn’t there a Mr. Snrub on here before?

No worries. Regretting the username now

More about Maddison

The expectation is Newcastle will make another formal offer for James Maddison. #NUFC plan to stick to their valuation from last summer, which was around £40-45m. #LCFC want more (£50m+) and are adamant relegation won’t force them into a cut-price sale.?

The Athletic sharing that same stuff as Edwards. Szoboszlai and Diaby too expensive, FFP, need to be smart, auditing relegated clubs, etc.

 

It's almost like they all get the same brief.

if they want £50m I don't think it will happen personally, we didn't offer it last year and I feel we won't this year either.  I reckon he'll end up at Spurs.

I don’t think Spurs will want to pay £50m either. Leicester will weaken on that over the summer but it’s whether we want to wait knowing Eddie needs pre season with his players.

[r0cafella]

The problem is, he is a 50m player but given the situation it’s too much. 

[GeordieDazzler]

I think this talk do 50m valuations on these players is just a negotiation tactic, we’ll increase our off any they’ll lower their valuation.

Its obviously a tactic to keep the media onside with some insider information, but I doubt its completely accurate. The club will want their top targets ie. Szobozlai & Diaby. This will be a tactic to keep selling the narrative that we wont overpay. We will then sweep in later in the window ie. Isak.

is it though?  Leicester turned down our £40m last season as too little and continued to turn down all Tielemans offers until he left for nothing whilst stating they can't rebuild as there's no money to rebuild.  Since the helicopter crash it seems there's been a lot of bad calls at Leicester (I live there and am surrounded by the news and fans etc).  The general feeling is this guy isn't the businessman his father was.

One guy I was hoping for was the LB Guerriero from Dortmund, he had a Trippier-esque season and was also in the European team of the season alongside Trippier

Would have been cool to have two top class fullbacks for the total sum of £12m!  But he's signed for Bayern now

[Shak]

@gbandit just accusing baffled new posters of smelling like piss

[SteV]

Brighton just got £35m (alright seems there might be various add ons on top) for Mac Allister with one year left.

 

Leicester obviously aren’t getting £50m for Maddison in the same situation

It’s fine, we’ll just get Alphonso Davies now that they go him

There were rumours linking him to Man City

 

say we do sign Maddison - I hope we sign Alex Scott and Gabri Veiga too along with a proper 6 - that would be incredible business from us

£50m for Maddison seems a lot given the situation Leicester are in, and that he'll be wanting away.

 

Saying that, I wonder if that's the right way to look at it. I think the real question is, what would he be worth to us and therefore what should we be prepared to pay?

 

If we thought Gordon was worth £45m (and the jury is out on that one for sure), why do we think £30m is what Maddison would be worth to us?

 

Plus, more childishly, I'd just like to stop Spurs getting anyone they actually want and send them further into a tailspin.

Real Madrid are sniffing about Davies as a Mendy upgrade.

[andyc35i]

Davies is my dream signing. I hope he stays at Bayern for another two years and we continue to progress so that his type of signing is actually realistic

I completely agree with the Gordon thing but Howe has said he was a long term target and came available (sure I read that somewhere but my apologies if I just made it up).  If he's not prepared to divvy up an extra £5m on Maddison then it must be an age / long term thing as that's all I can think if.  The guy got 10 from 30 this season and 12 from 35 last season so will chip in with decent goal tally for us.

Terrible banter is this bed wetting stuff. Shame on you gbandit. 

[SUPERTOON]

I love how for weeks before we got top 4 all the journos said we had 3 lists of targets depending on what position we finished. Move forward a few weeks after getting champions league and we can’t afford Diaby and Szoboszlai and we are targeting players from relegated clubs.
