aimaad22 3533 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Joelinton like engine with superb technical ability. This would be massive and a bit of a steal at $50M imo in the current market if we pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 4977 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Isn’t the line just “we are in talks” and it’s from the chicken nonce. Don’t get your hopes up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take him over Maddisson, different player but he has the type of heart and energy you get from Joe/Bruno. Lack of balls/being dropped for Leceister in the deep end of the relegation fight doesnt bode too well for Maddisson. I'd trust Eddie to sort that kinda stuff out pronto if we did sign him though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OTF 6274 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Quality player but this stinks of no chance of coming off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3533 Posted June 14, 2023 Share Posted June 14, 2023 Why? You could have said the same about Bruno, Isak and Botman and that was before the CL. Not saying we'll definitely get him but we're absolutely right to be putting our name in the hat. That's the calibre of player you need to target to cement top 4 status and lay the foundations for a title charge down the line. Think of it this way. Maybe we wont get Barella. But between him, Maddisson, Szobozlai (and probably a couple of others the press knows nothing about) there's a good chance we'll get at least one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wages would be the biggest and most succinct reason. Szoboszlai's wages would fit in our structure, Maddison's would be high but balanced against his proven prem experience. Bruno, Isak and Botman were all younger when they came here. For me Barella is on the next step in his career progression, the move where he will go to his peak wages (in the big 5 leagues anyway).
