Craig 6790 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 It’s fucking hilarious how some of you are suddenly experts about the way Leicester City play As is the notion that going for Morrison means the interest in Paqueta must be dead. If this bid for Morrison tells you anything, it’s that none of us have the first clue about what moves the club are making, including the journos. Sit tight, enjoy the ride and FFS some of you change your pissy pants. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. I don't know about that. I rate him as a player who could easily play in a top six team, if not quite being of pressing interest to Liverpool or CIteh. Obviously it all depends on which of those teams are in need of player of Maddison's profile. Of those teams at present I'd expect Spurs and maybe Man U, although Eriksen plays in a similar position to Maddison, to be interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Seems like those Cornet links have legs. It also seems like it might be a case of either or between him and Maddison, but perhaps not given Cornet can play up top as well. As far as a structured deal goes, Burnley have already accepted one when we bought Pope, so it's perhaps more likely they'll accept one for Cornet. If it meant that they could get more than the 17.5m lump sum release clause but over a longer period of time they might go for it.

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Seen an interesting take on twitter that pointed to the fact that with Schmeichel probably leaving Leicester, we could perhaps offer Dubravka in part exchange. It might take ten million off the Maddison price. No point in keeping Dubs as number two if he's looking to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Douglas seems to think this loan we got will increase our spending power going forward, as opposed to have partly already been earmarked for the transfers we've done. It would be interesting to know exactly how much of that 140m we want to spend purely on transfer fees and wages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 This a bit of a departure from us supposedly wanting to structure a deal. This could move pretty quick hopefully, assuming reports are correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cover for both positions with ASM maybe switching to the right would be my guess. I can't see anyone paying the 40m that we're looking for, for ASM. Again assuming these reports are true, but they seem pretty solid given how many journalists have picked up on it. Then again Everton are said to have agreed personal terms with him, but you'd assume we could sell a more attractive future to him than Everton currently could if we do trigger his release clause. Having checked Cornet has played right wing in his time as well, so him and ASM could maybe switch pretty interchangeably.

Gemmill 49500 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 We should just trigger his release and be done with it. I get that you have to pay the fee up front to do that but we need to strengthen up front as a matter of urgency. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has the added plus that we will then be a bit better stocked and perhaps perceived as a little less desperate, which could possibly help in other negotiations. I agree with their determination to fight for price and payment to be all on our terms but as you say the season starts soon. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2317 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) Newcastle in talks with Chelsea over Timo Werner loan and have edge over RB Leipzig - Mirror Online Werner on loan and either Cornet or Maddison would be very decent. Obviously Maddison is the better player between him and Cornet, or has at least proven himself more at the PL level, but I wouldn't be heartbroken if we got Cornet given he's a very useful player. Of course Werner would need to stop fluffing so many chances, but again a loan would be a low risk way to get him. It will be very interesting to see how we line up if we get two of these three players. Edited July 30, 2022 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2317 Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 Supposedly West Ham are as close or closer to signing Cornet than us, so if we are in for him we might miss out on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
