HaydnNUFC Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Seems to be an awful lot of noise around this, especially compared to the Isak, Bruno and Burn signings. /strawclutching Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 (edited) TBH I thought Maddison was a complete prick until I started listening to him and paying more attention. I thought Matt Ritchie was try-hard little prat. Doesn’t apply to everyone of course, but you get my point Edited January 24, 2023 by AyeDubbleYoo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 £40M for him is mental when Diaby is available for similar type of money.. no idea Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think on the pitch he's come over like a right twat, put me off ages back, not a fan and wouldn't really want us to sign him. Just the no wont sign him becuase of his hair or clothes. And the constant calling him ugly is sinking low. But fully understand your on the pitch behaviour. Edited January 24, 2023 by nufc123 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbandit Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Diaby is definitely not available for £40m, there was talk of €90m earlier this window Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nine Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1 minute ago, Menace said: £40M for him is mental when Diaby is available for similar type of money.. no idea A big point is he doesn’t need to adapt to another league/country like Diaby would, so obviously homegrown and better yet he’s a great fit for our current system.. is Diaby even available? How does he fit into this side/league? Im not saying he can’t I just don’t know that much about the player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Prices for Diaby have been mentioned anywhere from £60 million to £100 million, which he absolutely isn't worth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 This signing would be worthy of about 2 pages if he wasn’t such a scouse freak and we didn’t already hate him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 If Diaby was available for that sort of money he'd be signed. I doubt they've just forgot about their number one winger target Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bimpy474 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Horrid faced, dives (which i fecking hate with a passion) around like a cheating little ratboy. like any other hypocrite, I'll cheer him on if he plays, that's life. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 1 hour ago, STM said: Leicester wanted 60m or so for Maddison and Gordon will likely be half that (as a starting point), so it's hardly a case of just hoying a few more million onto it. Not just the fee too. Maddison on 5 year deal would be about £120k a week, Gordon would possibly be £60k. That's the difference of like 15 million over life of the contract.

sushimonster85 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I don't like Gordon. He seems like a twat, and on top of that it doesn't seem like he offers a whole lot more to the starting 11 than what we already have. Decent depth option. That being said, people who know way more about this than I (Howe, Ashworth, the scouting team etc) seem to really rate him. And I trust them. So if he is who they want, I'm onboard.

HawK Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I don't get the take that being sceptical/against this sort of signing immediately translates to then not supporting him as a player if he pulls on the black and white stripes. You can do both. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I doubt we're parting with significant cash for a squad player. You'd imagine we'll ease him in with a view to taking Miggy's place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to stop thinking like that mate, squad building with two players equally as good for each position, we're no small time 11 purples any more.

Abacus Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 I mainly don't like his trousers. But, as a footballer, what I've seen is that he's fast, works hard and can buy a foul. That's pretty much all I've noticed, so remain to be convinced. Maybe that's unfair taking account of how badly their whole team has been doing. Plus of course I'm not a scout. I do wonder, though, why he's not playing - not good enough, not fit? Or being protected for a sale? I'm often not too convinced there's much to a lot of the speculation, though there does seem a lot of it here. But anyway, I was reading the other transfer thread about the FFP benefits of selling a home grown player. From Everton's point of view, they definitely need to strengthen to stay up and have very limited FFP wiggle room. So that would make sense to sell a home grown player, so that sort of clicked. Or, I could be reading too much into that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I generalising you know, 25 players who are all decent. Trying to be a bit upbeat. You get out much or ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
