GrahamTaylor5 1213 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I don't get what has happened to Fede. My memory is not too sharp but am I right in saying he played 1 game under Howe as a sub and from what I remember he did well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand There were rumours of long covid but no idea if there's any substance to them. Although I think the sequence was that he played that 1 game, looked good, got covid, and then never played again so it sort of adds up. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Don't buy into the crap that get spouted and the speculated values. Truth is we offered a structured £35m deal with £5m in add-ons and they're looking for £55-65m.

Given where we've come from I am so relaxed I am almost comatose about all this transfer malarkey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 24146 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Is £60m over the odds for Maddison? I think if you look at what Jesus and Richarlison went for it’s probably about right for a proven PL forward. We should either pay it - or something closer to it that Leicester might accept rather than throw in another lowball offer before walking away. Or just accept that we can’t afford that calibre of player at this moment and go for Cornet or similar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 15010 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 They’ll sell before we get anywhere near £60 million IMO. That’ll be their dream price but they’ll compromise for less, especially if there’s add-ons in the post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely they're just frustrated by our perceived transfer policy at present. Expand I haven’t noticed any excessive bed wetting on here either. And I should know - we can smell our own. Twitter is a different story. I can see what the owners are trying to do: develop a reputation as tough negotiators so we don’t have the piss taken out of us. Nothing wrong with that in the FFP era - particularly before we sign the big money commercial deals. But there will come a point where we have to show our hand and either pay the £50m+ needed for the type of player supporters want or concede we’re not quite ready to shop in that market. We got Bruno for a great price but I suspect that’s the exception rather than the rule and the likes of Diaby and Maddison will cost more. I still think we’ll sign a couple more forward players but we’ll only know how successful the window has been when it closes next month. The annoying thing about it is it doesn’t close before the season starts. I never really understood that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spongebob toonpants 4475 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Every single post by longtimeadmirer is moaning about transfer policy I'm with @Toonpack. It would be impoosible for me to be less stressed about the transfer window. I'm pretty confident Ashworth Howe et al have a better idea what's going on than me, and it's possible they might even be a better judge of a player than I am I'll still be chill if we didn't add anyone else this window Stay frosty as the departed parky used to say 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m greedy but they started with a bang with the window in January. We can probably get through to the next January window with the midfielders and wingers on the books but we’re crying out for a new CF, even if it’s a stopgap loan. Wilson could break down against Forest then we’re stuck with Wood as our only striker for half a season. I don’t think these owners are going to risk that happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
