And Tielemans while we’re at it. are Leicester fucked for cash or something?They’ve bought next to no one. Could be a good club to raid as they’ve got some quality players I think it’s their wage bill that’s the problem. They need to sell before they can buy.

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Maddison would be an epic signing. Him, Bruno and Joe as the midfield three would be quality. You can imagine him and Bruno taking turns at making attacking runs into the box. And a big plus is that Maddison can play in a number of attacking positions. Let's see what happens, but I can't see him going for less than 55-60m, which may rule us out given we are seemingly unwilling to pay that for Diaby. As people have said this may have been leaked by Leicester in order to try and start a bidding war. Based on the business already done and teams needs, I'd imagine it's down to us and Spurs. Arsenal were linked, but they backed out of Paqueta because they've bought that Viera kid. I suppose Man U could be in for him as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex 36587 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 He would strengthen both areas of the pitch anyway. It’s not like they’re vastly different positions either. As an aside, I wonder how much Anderson is influencing the thinking at the club around the need for midfielders. You would think having 5 subs should see him get plenty opportunities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 5123 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 When did £60 million become the lowest possible price anyone wants for an ok or better attacking midfielder? Every story is a 40 million bid and a 60 million asking price. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the bid went in last night, right around the time Murphy played his 15th pass to an Atalanta player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me this underscores that we are looking for a CM as well as a winger and a striker, which is really exciting. But if we get Maddison it probably ends the Paqueta rumours. Which is a little odd given he’s apparently available for £35m. Perhaps there was nothing in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would still be playing with two wide men and one striker. I’d be amazed if Howe hasn’t considered it and he is clearly a good enough coach to implement it if that’s what he fancies doing.
