Polarboy 2124 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 (edited) Chicken nonce has backed up Hope's comments about Leicester being interested in Dubravka. Perhaps he was just referencing Hope, but it could also be the case that he's heard the rumour independently. On the other hand Rogers is on record as saying that the keepers currently at the club will fight it out for Kasper's place. When he said that it could have been a case of giving those guys confidence and a needs must situation, as opposed to him really thinking he'd be in a position to turn down the chance to get Dubravka if offered. He'd be worth what, 7-10m if we're lucky? It would still knock a nice chunk off the Maddison fee. Edited August 3, 2022 by Polarboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12767 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I’d be wary of offering Dubravka considering if Pope drops, you’re left with Darlow who is pretty shite. If we think there’s a deal to be done, Leicester must be hinting at a positive resolution to it all, just need to work toward a compromise. You’ll be able to talk them down once the window ticks down and Maddison starts getting antsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobos 297 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Well, in my limited experience of watching Pope, I think Dubravka is better. Pope has that England goalkeeper twitch in him that makes silly mistakes every 4 or 5 games. Also, Wood aint no Donkey either. Hopefully he'll settle this year and maybe ASM will learn how to put a high ball in, rather than a square ball when he's ran out of options on the touchline with 3 men on him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood just looks so slow.....the amount of times last season a cross came in for him and his headers were powderpuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 5934 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 I need more updates!!!! Either chuck in a 3rd bid or bid for someone else. I can't cope with 2 days passing between unsubstantiated rumours on Twitter 🤯 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polarboy 2124 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 No news might be good news in this case. It could mean that Ashworth and Leicester are deep in negotiation ironing out the fine detail, maybe including Dubs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 34537 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 £52.5m Cucurella to Chelsea. Hard to argue Maddison isn't worth north of 50 when a full back with one season in the PL is going for that much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 16704 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 They're certainly spending some brass Chelsea. One thing about Maddison is his contract length. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to argue Maddison isn't worth north of 50 when a full back with one season in the PL is going for that much. Chelsea have overpaid though. Citeh valued him at 40m which is why they pulled the plug. Brighton done very well to capitalise on Chelsea's desperation after they got knocked back on a couple of their targets for defence.

Gemmill 34537 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Try telling that to Leicester. They'll look at that deal and feel justified in holding out for the money they want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polarboy 2124 Posted August 3, 2022 Share Posted August 3, 2022 He'd probably be one for the future, or at least somebody that would be bedded in very slowly if we are actually interested and get him. 20 years old, only joined Rennes last season from a Danish top tier team, and only made 11 starts for them. Then again I suppose Ekitike wasn't far off being that raw as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Gloom 19828 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 they are clearly playing hard ball, but every player has his price. who will blink first? hope we are having parallel conversations with paqueta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34537 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 If we don't get him now we'll get him in January. They won't want him going into the final 18 months of his contract. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBass 2254 Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 So how did these negotiations go... NEW: We're interesting in taking Maddison off your hands... LEI: He's not for sale NEW: So, £40mil then? LEI: He's not for sale NEW: Oh, a counter offer. Okay, £50mil, final offer LEI: He's not for sale Makes absolutely zero sense. We wouldn't have wasted our time with two bids and a rumoured third and final bid today if we didn't think we had a chance of getting him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
