Dr Gloom 20162 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 12899 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...

Given where we've come from I am so relaxed I am almost comatose about all this transfer malarkey. Were in August though, we've been doing this all summer, shopping in a certain bracket and then walking away. If the club due to ffp as you say cant afford it, then can we just stop trying to reach for those players? Theirs other good players available in the same price bracket as botman and bruno https://www.transfermarkt.com/spieler-statistik/wertvollstespieler/marktwertetop/plus/0/galerie/0?ausrichtung=Mittelfeld&spielerposition_id=10&altersklasse=alle&jahrgang=0&land_id=0&kontinent_id=0&yt0=Show https://www.transfermarkt.com/spieler-statistik/wertvollstespieler/marktwertetop/plus/0/galerie/0?ausrichtung=Sturm&spielerposition_id=12&altersklasse=alle&jahrgang=0&land_id=0&kontinent_id=0&yt0=Show https://www.transfermarkt.com/spieler-statistik/wertvollstespieler/marktwertetop/plus/0/galerie/0?ausrichtung=Sturm&spielerposition_id=14&altersklasse=alle&jahrgang=0&land_id=0&kontinent_id=0&yt0=Show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely they're just frustrated by our perceived transfer policy at present. 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 3643 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...

trooper 940 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Does anyone know how much more we can spend under FFP this window. What I'm thinking is if the budget allowed & we could get Cornett, Werner & Maddison or Barnes. We would have a cracking team. Plus future investment would only probably involve 1 or 2 players in a window. But what do I know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaddockLad 14910 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) Think the take away from this thread is that Fofana has signed a new contract with Leicester and as we know Maddison is in the last two years of his, also as someone mentioned they’re not getting 60 mill(?) for him after this summer, add to that they’re apparently only selling one of them ….. I think there’s a good chance he’s coming to SJP… Edited August 1, 2022 by PaddockLad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think it's going to happen either, but if it did I'd just shrug and trust them that it would get sorted soon enough.

I think there’s a good chance he’s coming to SJP… According to Romano Chelsea have hijacked Man City's bid for Cucurella. Cucurella is a left back of course, but a defensive minded one, so I could easily see him playing on the left of back three given Tuchel favours playing with a three and then wingbacks. So if Chelsea smash 50m on Cucurella I can't see them going after Fofana as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 He just tweeted this So it looks like Chelsea do actually want Cucurella plus a centre back, so Fofana could be someone they go after. Having said that it's hard to judge who'd be more likely to blink first between Leicester and Leipzig for their star centre backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
