4everfox Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 (edited) So Leicester and Southampton have apparently both had bids accepted for Maddison, welcome to Leicester then James. Edited 17 June 2018 by 4everfox
Tuna Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 If he goes to Southampton he'll be signing for Liverpool in about 2 years time. 1

One of the reasons for the delay is the need for more assurances around the injury and theres been staff go to look at him already. Balancing FFP this summer is going to be a nightmare. Even if we sell Mahrez?
StriderHiryu Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 25m is so much money to pay for a championship player. He could be a good or even excellent player in time but this is the “English player tax” in full effect. More expensive than Ricardo who proved himself in two leagues, is an international and played in the Champions League. He does look promising though so hope there’s some substance and is not another over hyped player. 3

Gives Pep plenty of scope for screwing us over. Someone will come in for him if the Man City deal falls through. The fact that Pep wants him will be enough to convince others that he's the real deal (if they're blind enough to have missed it from what he's done on the pitch over the last few years).

Lot of money but a risk worth taking on this one I think. Every club is going to have "wins" and "losses" with transfers. You just have to hope you get a lot more wins! I think this one will be, but he will need time like any player at 21. Some will jump on his high price tag first chance they get though! From clips I've seen of him though, he looks great with both feet, on the ball and has decent delivery/shot on him! Very excited by his potential and also what he might be able to offer us right away if settles quickly. Fingers crossed Percy is spot on and he chooses us! Always hated Mark Hughes too!

I see what you're saying about the English premium but another difference is that one is a full back and the other a highly creative no.10 and dead ball specialist. They're pretty thin on the ground and more expensive than a full back. JM is a v.good palyer today but at 21, has potential to get even better. A good deal IMO.

I'm sure Claude is more attractive to play under? (with qual lit ee)!
richardsfoxes Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 Super excited by this one but if we do sign him and the defender what else do we actually need? A riyad replacement? Striker?

Think Leicester ticks all the boxes apart from Manager to play for... Not saying I rate Mark Hughes at all, but Claude is hardly an inspiring character to play for Still think the Leicester pull will be too strong though 1

Striker? I'd still like a big lump no.9 on the bench to throw on as a plan B and cause havoc in the box if need a goal. Definitely need a Riyad replacement too. A top winger. I'd actually still like another CM as would preferably ship out King, James, Mendy and send Amartey out on loan. Do that, and potentially one of the best windows we've had in recent times (obvs on paper!)

We broke the record for a non league signing for Vardy, and in the end it's turned out we massively UNDER paid for him, even if it took him a while to get going. So I'm hoping our scouting team have done their due diligence and it's a star we are getting and not another Musa (very unlikely, but it did happen). The issue for me is that for English players, so many are hyped up and are average at best: Walcott Wislhere Lallana Redmond Oxlaide-Chamberlain Ibe Shaw Stones Etc Even our own Demari fits into this category and the only saving grace is that at 3.5M, he didn't cost that much. All the players above are WAY over priced and not exactly set the world alight. He does look a good player, but I am just saying that buying English usually results in average players for high prices. 1
Ric Flair Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 Southampton can suck a dick, he's wanted this move to us for nearly a year when we first made enquiries. He's ours.

Jamie and Harry prove that. 2

I think Gray, Albrighton and Diabate all play better on the left, maddison, Barnes and Okazaki would have the no.10 covered and Nacho and vardy for the 9 role so for me..... two RW once Mahrez goes and we look really strong.

Jamie and Harry prove that. Yes I do agree, and I hope this becomes the case with this player too. I think Harry Maguire's story is brilliant for the club, because it will play into our hands for any promising English player. Come and join the Foxes for first team football and a route into the England team. As a poster above put, every team has transfer hits and misses and you hope that you have more hits than you do misses. From the video clips and what the Norwich fans think of him, this guy does seem like a decent punt to take. Hopefully he is! Edited 17 June 2018 by StriderHiryu 1
