brucey Posted 19 June 2018 Posted 19 June 2018 Laurie Whitwell says Southampton never actually had any bid accepted. This will be a new record fee paid for a Championship player apparently. What happened the last time we paid a record fee like that?

Jaspa Posted 19 June 2018 Posted 19 June 2018 Quote Leicester to confirm £22m James Maddison on long-term deal on Tuesday James Maddison is expected to be confirmed as a Leicester City player on a long-term deal on Tuesday, Sky Sports News understands. Maddison passed a medical on Monday and has agreed personal terms with the Foxes, having decided against a switch to Southampton in order to be closer to his Coventry-based family home. Sky Sports News reported on Sunday that both Leicester and Southampton had agreed identical packages worth in the region of £22m with Norwich to sign the England U21 midfielder. That transfer fee is expected to rise to £24m if add-ons are realised.Leicester and Southampton are believed to have head a group of teams interested in Maddison that also included Fulham, Everton and West Ham. He had also been scouted by top-four Premier League clubs Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester City. Maddison scored 15 goals last season and, with their parachute payments due to end this year, Norwich have been willing to cash in on their most valuable player. Norwich have been seeking between £20m and £25m for Maddison, who has represented England at U21 level. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11712/11409598/james-maddison-to-complete-22m-leicester-move-on-tuesday

Burnley can cope with a "no rotation" policy because they have to be "Dyche-fit" - obviously one of the less technically-gifted teams in the PL, the players have to be fitter than all the rest. Jack Cork covered more ground than anyone last season. George Boyd ran the equivalent of about 40 marathons while at Turf Moor. Edited 19 June 2018 by lancyclaret 2

lancyclaret Posted 19 June 2018 Posted 19 June 2018 Doesn't matter - Dyche will use the mainly the U23 squad if needed.

4everfox Posted 19 June 2018 Posted 19 June 2018 Crazy that we have paid the same for Maddison that Chelsea paid for Drogba.

breadandcheese Posted 19 June 2018 Posted 19 June 2018 I hope he's worth the money, as I have reservations about the size of money for a player who's had one good season.

If you qualify, you'll be playing in the arse end of Europe on Thursdays with less recovery time for your League games. If you don't have depth in your squad and the ability to rotate then you'll suffer. As your team is built, as you said based on a fit squad, as I can see based on little rotation and regular consistent team sheet, the fact that you'll have to bring more players in, it brings you more problems. I wish you to do well in Europe, but the reality is that it might well come at a cost, and either much lower position in the league, and/or relegation battle. 1

urban.spaceman Posted 19 June 2018 Posted 19 June 2018 Crazy that we paid 400K for Mahrez and are selling him for roughly 187.5 times that. Football is, in general, absolutely mental.
