Yeh now I wonder what’s worse if madders doesn’t get picked or gets picked but sits in the stands as a passenger the entire tournament wondering what if. Arggggg!!!

[Chrysalis]

If he gets picked he's off, the what if for leaving I think is the lesser evil.

He's a fantastic player .

 

This forum really missed pe off when so many tried to sell him to Arsenal last summer.   

 

He was good then; he's better now; and ihope you're right.

Fair play to Madders. Returning to training in some  decent* attire!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*And by decent i mean no loud badly matched colors

Another assist to start the season today 

[grobyfox1990]

Did anyone see him taking a bottle of water from someone in the family stand before taking a corner in the first half. There were no bottles pitchside. Thought that was very funny 

[Area88]

He's always one of the best players on the pitch. Him and Vardy are my top 2.

Worth saying above the rest of that shower this goal today puts him clear 3rd in our all-time top PL goal scorers. He’s now scored more than Izzet and Heskey who drop down to joint 4th.

 

Only 5 short of Mahrez in 2nd as well

[Phenom]

Need to extend him asap

That's quite an achievement. Very happy for him.

I pictured him being a modern day Stretch Armstrong then mate 😜

 

But all joking aside, he should become our top earner….no way we can keep that clause in Vardy’s contract if it gets renewed.

[lcfc043]

Did anyone notice that short burst of pace in the run for his goal? I didn’t know he had it in him and thought it would hold him  back. 
 

He is in top condition. Well done Madders

Leicester bid to see off Newcastle interest in James Maddison with contract talks underway

 

Leicester have opened negotiations with England international James Maddison over a new contract.

 

Brendan Rodgers is yet to make an outfield signing this summer but Leicester are moving to tie Maddison down to an improved deal.

 

Newcastle have seen two offers of up to £40 million rejected this summer for the attacking midfielder, who has just under two years left on his current £100,000-a-week contract.

 

It is understood talks started with Maddison’s representatives before the bids from Newcastle, with discussions understood to be at an early stage.

 

Signed from Norwich City for £25 million in June 2018, Maddison was Leicester’s top scorer last season with 18 goals, also providing 12 assists in all competitions.

 

Rodgers said: “He’s an outstanding player and of course, Leicester City would benefit from keeping him longer. With two years left, naturally the club would want to protect the asset.

 

“He’s a top player at the level, so people will be interested in him, but I’ve seen no change in him whatsoever. For me, James is still the same. He’s improving, developing, and happy.”

Rogers already distancing himself from the club?? (Realise this is the Maddison thread but just come from the Rogers thread and seems apt)

[Long Eaton Fox]

If we could sign Maddison on a longer contract, swap Soumare for a winger, that would a great transfer window

That struck me too. At least sounds like he's admitting he won't be around then. 

[StanSP]

What do we think he goes up to? £150k/w?

If he has he’s worth it to us, about what Kasper was on isn’t it?

[LFox99]

Ideally we get him locked down on a new contract before the shit 6 remember he exists

Newcastle & Co were never gonna tempt him, can't let Manure, Chelsea, Spurs sniff around too strongly though
