I didn't earn my FA level 2 coaching badge for nothing so you’re the trained eye in this scenario. I wondered what you were getting at fuck knows if there’s anything in this Maddison link, or what it would mean for the formation. Exciting player to be linked with though!

Ayatollah Hermione 14568 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 He’ll not be replacing Murphy as Murphy will be replaced with some 19 year old prospect in due course who’ll take his role as 3rd choice on either side. We have to remember that we’ve only seen so much of him because it’s pre-season. Fraser and Almiron will be on the right, ASM and Fraser will be on the left and Anderson can cover both. He is fucking hard work though so can understand the desperation to bin him off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14568 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 How can a team owned by PIF be under equipped to buy a Leicester player?

A wasp with a grenade launcher would be extremely dangerous, they don’t obey orders, how often do you shout “fuck off you stripey little cunt” and do they fuck off, no, they just buzz around like nowts the matter. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 23420 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 The Leicester fans are suitably devastated, outraged or in denial about their best player potentially leaving. They seem to think he’s worth £60-80m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 23420 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Pretty much the story of our summer if true At some point we need to either give up chasing the players valued at £50m+ or pay what the clubs are asking for. Alternatively go for the plan c or d options such as Cornet before it’s too late or they’ll end up at other clubs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 36587 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 When you consider the start we had Leicester only finished 3 points ahead of us with one more win. And they haven’t signed anyone. They’ve had an unbelievable few years but I don’t think it unrealistic to say where going to overtake them soon and quite probably forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally understand not wanting to be bent over a barrell but we also need to recognise the calibre of player we are going for. IMO if we get him it will be for £45m+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be a Mackem with hands like that He plays inside right at most with Castagne or whoever is playing right back heavily overlapping, and predominantly plays right or left in a central three in a midfield five. Rogers tinkers about nonstop with his formations and player positions, but Maddison is clearly best suited to attacking from central positions. Rogers has been stuck for a genuine consistent option of a player in a traditional right wing role. You're not going to get Maddison sticking wide, getting up and down the wing, helping Trippier, getting crosses in, you know as an actual winger would do. Or rather that's not a role he's ultimately suited for. Of course this debate is entirely pointless unless we actually sign him.

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) If all this stuff about us wanting to pay teams fifty quid a month for fifty years, and the lend of a villa in Marbella every summer for players is true, you have to question what the club and Ashworth in particular are doing. What's the point in offering a structured 35m bid when Leicester would likely not accept a structured bid of 45m, and going by current market values they'd be absolutely right not to. Hopefully Ashworth proves me wrong by the end of the window, but if all these leaks about what we are bidding are true, then he's not currently filling me with confidence.

KetteringMag 11 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 3 or 4 say the deal for Madison was worth £40m, Hope says it's worth £35m... I suspect the actual price is somewhere in the middle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They seem to think he’s worth £60-80m. Whilst I'm struggling to conceive of a situation where they'd let him go for anything south of 60m you'd have to think there had been some consultation done prior to an offer being submitted. Ashworth doesn't strike me as a chancer throwing offers without there being a chance of it either being accepted or at least getting a ball rolling. Possibly a new contract for Maddison is at a stale mate there and he's indicated he wants to go? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said Maddison strikes me as someone who wouldn't attract serious interest from the top clubs. Then there's not a lot of clubs outside of them who will offer upwards of 40m for a player. Still expect him to stay there but 50m for him would be reasonable business IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree it’s part of it but it’s a really low ball offer for probably one of the best players outside the top sides. We’ve also done this a few times already this window and then just pulled out before complaining about unrealistic valuations. I’m perfectly fine with them not wanting to sign £50m players, but why do we continue to chase and underbid for players in that valuation bracket? Belotti is available for free, Cornet has a release clause, etc it’s just a weird strategy and as things stand it hasn’t worked this window as we are going into the season with the exact same poor attack. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
