And the mercury is still reporting Southampton had an offer accepted

It really sucks. He got limited game time at Munich which didnt help. Went back to dortmund where he was hit with the metabolic disorder, so he had to sit out for 6 months ish. Just a combination of so much bad luck

Done as in done and signed for us. Or done as in done and there is no chance of us signing him

He is a beast.... ...on FIFA at least

think the better question is what about them doesn't make them assh0les?

Its not the best thing at all, I completely agree, but at the same time, the world has become significantly more strict on the use of words like that in past few years. Edit: Not condoning this at all btw, its a poor comment

Can honestly see him staying longer and extending his contract. Various bits have come out of the press saying he'd like to retire here. I remember an interview back when arsenal were interested and a quote he said "Leicester wanted/supported me when no one else did and I'll be loyal to that" or something similar, so i can see him long term

I'm the same age as a few of them and i have no idea what they're saying half the time. I'm in disbelief with over half of the things they say on that show. Those on the show aren't representative of most people that age

This and the world cup are both potential reasons why we're doing our business so early

As per usual vardy is forgotten due to his strikepartner trying to prove too much

I agree with you, but as we saw with Schlupp a few years back where the Ghana national team wanted their own independent view on his injury at the time, I imagine the England set up may have wanted a look at the injury of one of their up and coming younger players. If there is no lasting damage I too don't see why we shouldn't look into getting.

Simply suggesting what could go on behind the scenes. Our fitness coach used to work with the national squad at a younger level, so may have known people whom may have looked at Maddison. C'mon you should surely know by just scrolling through one of these pages with the various ITK posters that people talk and say things that is probably against their contract.

There's various u21 International games; including the Toulon Tournament that he may have been in contention for should he have been fit. The England physios would have assessed this to see if he was in any state for selection. People can then ask the England physios opinions prior to bidding to see the extent of the injury and if they'd want to make an assessment themselves

No all 10 won't feature frequently; was simply a point to raise that they'd probably be late back to pre-season or even start of the season. Some may not be effected at all, but it's something to consider. Once again; never did i mention that we wouldn't be able to beat a lesser team in the qualifying rounds, was merely stating that last season we struggled when we had a fair few absentees in key positions. We'd have a great shot at Europe, but as we've seen from the past, teams can struggle in their Europa season due to the travel and playing commitments and our squad was sparse in areas last season.

This is on top of the 10 players of ours who'll be in Russia for the world cup, they'd be fatigued and behind in terms of pre-season and as we saw last year with a few injuries and suspensions we started to struggle

It is reported Maddison wants to move back closer to Coventry, which would make a deal with us more likely.

These guys aren't usually the most reliable to listen to

Exactly this, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they put up some of their stories after the faintest of whispers to make a bit of money

Actually quite an interesting read through the last 2 pages. A fair few seem quite accepting a move to us would help his career and be quite good for him, whilst admittedly hating it. Seems a similar situation with us and mahrez

but how legitimate do we think their source is?

Gary Lineker?

Never a simple summer transfer window for us

I'd take him, he has talent and with the right people around him he can flourish

They really don't have any idea how good a player they'd be getting

From what he was saying in his press conferences etc he didn't like what they were producing either
