Transfers, 2024-25 season

I think Maddison in the summer makes much more sense anyway. Leicester are nowhere near safe yet and he could easily make the difference in terms of them staying up. Come June he’s only got 12 months left so it’s their last chance to cash in, they’ll have already had their fingers burnt after Tielemans leaves for nothing. They’ll also have the summer to source a replacement

There’s rumours kicking around that Leicester are close to signing Tete and Jack Harrison, so possibly related to Maddison leaving but who knows. I think Gordon and Maddison coming in would be a fucking ridiculous transfer window by us.

Zero idea if this bloke is any more reliable than Sean Casey but it’s silly season so I’ll share it anyway 

 

 


Like every person on Twitter who makes up transfers and pretends to know things this lad is half chancer, half taking the piss. 
 

I don’t understand why people give these sad acts the time of day.

It seems unlikely that Rogers would risk Maddison today in the FA cup if he was leaving as someone said above. He's just played 60 odd minutes for them before being subbed.

Harrison wont be cheap so surely Maddison or Tielemans are leaving.

While I don’t think we will sign Maddison I don’t see this logic at all. Even if there is discussions taking place why would he weaken his side because of a possible deal? People in football aren’t as panicked about injuries as that. Plus I don’t think Rodgers would have been massively worried if a deal fell through anyway.

It's my understanding that if you think a player might be going, and part of the reason for him going is likely because you need the funds to reinvest, then you aren't going to risk tens of millions of pounds when the player has to pass a medical before joining a new club.

Just don't forget about this when your mate starts spouting crap next transfer window and you're tempted to believe him again.

He's been pretty right tho, in the past, especially during the takeover; and he's an old guffa with no points to prove. Maybe someone wanting to buy Wood was a surprise? :D

I know, I’m saying I disagree with that logic. Why would Rodgers, a manager that’s somewhat clinging onto his job care? He’s going to put out the best side he can, he won’t want rid of Maddison and Tete and Harrison would be a downgrade, so to me his only thinking would be winning now managing the side he has and not worrying about an injury to a player who may or may not be sold. Harrison played today as well, I’m pretty sure Trippier played the day or so before he signed for us.
 

Fwiw I think us signing Maddison is unlikely, I can see us either being done or signing a youth prospect but my point is Rodgers playing him today is no bearing on whether Maddison is going or not.

It isn't just down to Rogers. If he's told from the higher ups that a player is being sold because it makes financial sense, he doesn't have final say only an input that they may or may not listen to. And I'm sure there are some instances where a player has played and then has been sold not long after, but the norm is that the play is wrapped up in cotton wool if they're most likely on their way out.

:lol: That’s a massive assumption like. A lot of managers wouldn’t put up with that. Again I think you’re putting far and away too much emphasis on peoples fears players get injured. It’s also you just assuming it’s the norm, there’s nothing I’ve seen about that but I have seen plenty players play games in January while a sale seems close. Agree to disagree I suppose but I don’t think it’s any indication whatsoever.

It's really isn't a massive assumption, it literally happens all the time. A common indication that people look for after heavy speculation is if a player isn't included in the starting eleven and sometimes even squad. There's literally no manager who has absolute control of ins and outs nowadays. Some have more say that others, but again none have total control. But yeah agree to disagree.
